    3 node Ceph-cluster upgrade from 7.0-13 to current - Ceph?

    Hi am running a 3-node proxmox/ceph cluster which is sheduled for an upgrade to the current PVE version, which as of today, is 7.3. The plan was to perform a "rolling" upgrade, starting with upgrading one node at first, and then after a week, also upgrade the remaining two nodes. When...

    [SOLVED] (safe/best) way to temporarily operate a cluster with only one node?

    Hi! I currently operate a production PVE7 cluster of three nodes for an internal development team. Due to energy saving demands my boss wants to run all VMs/CTs on one cluster node and temporarily shut down the two then empty nodes. As each of the nodes has plenty of RAM/ressources and we...

    PBS datastore 100% full - manual GC/prune does not work

    Hi, I have two PBS servers in my setup. The primary one is ok and working as expected. The second PBS has a sync job to basically clone the content from the first PBS. Thats all it does. Well, apparently I didnt understood that te datastore on the second pbs needed its own GC/Prune job config -...

    ceph 3 node cluster Windows guests at 100% disk i/o

    Hi, I am currently operating a 3 node PVE 7.0 & Ceph (cluster based on 10*NVMe/ 10*SATA-SSDs in each node). The CEPH network is a dedicated 100GbEthernet link. In Windows guests the disk perfomance is maxing out at a 100% disk usage and the latency is at multiple hundred up to several thousand...

    [SOLVED] Replication in cluster - different ZFS storage on nodes - not available on node

    I have extended a test cluster with a new machine (called: pmx1885) which has its ZFS pool setup done after the install with the web-gui not with the installer (during installation time). This differs from my other cluster nodes in this case. The other cluster nodes (pmx2b,pmx1b,pmx2a,pmx1a)...

    Physically relocate a 3-node PVE/Ceph Cluster to another city

    Hi! Recently I took administration of an existing 3-node PVE/Ceph Cluster. First task/project is to plan a relocation of a small office branch datacentre. There is some network equipment, few physical servers and the PVE/Ceph cluster. Most of this is easy stuff, Ceph is quite new. Yeah! As I am...

    Create ZFS fails on GUI with "unknown" - on commandline "raidz contains devices of different sizes"

    Hi! I tried creating a ZFS (raidz2) and a datastore via the GUI. It just fails with unknown error. :oops: All disks are initialized with GPT and should be "ready" for ZFS. After issueing the corresponding command via shell, proxmox-backup-manager disk zpool create backupz2 --add-datastore...

    CEPH on PVE - how much space consumed?

    Hi, i have a 3 node PVE/CEPH cluster currently in testing. Each node has 7 OSD, so there is a total of 21 OSD in the cluster. I have read a lot about never ever getting your cluster to become FULL - so I have set nearfull_ratio to 0.66 full_ratio 0.95 backfillfull_ratio 0.9 nearfull_ratio 0.66...

    [SOLVED] Ceph only on some selected nodes in cluster?

    Hi, I am currently planning a small Proxmox cluster. It is planned to have all system requirements met for a Ceph Installation (here: 4* NVMe via HBA per node + disks for the OS) on three nodes. We want these three nodes to participate in the Ceph setup but to use a total of five nodes in the...

    [SOLVED] PBS Installer created a RAIDZ1 - how to create a Datastore?

    Hi, i am quite sure this is a really silly question but I actually banged my head against ZFS-walls (again). I have a PBS Server freshly installed with 3 disks. I have let the installer create me a RAIDZ1 during installation. Now, I ended up with a PBS installation and under Storage -> ZFS I...

    PVE installed RAID10 on 4* SSD - two extra NVMes added - how to use them?

    Hi, I have a new Proxmox 7 server which was installed with 4 SSDs on an HBA as ZFS RAID10. under "Disks" -> "ZFS" there is "rpool" correctly showing the storage. So far so good. There is now a Storage called "local-zfs". Had two extra NVMe disks which where wiped and added as ZFS "mirror"...

    SMB-share storage besides usage by PBS?

    Hi, we are in the phase of planning / evaluating of PBS in our environment for backing up Proxmox hosts. the designated new machine has lots of backup space available - currently a lot more than usable as backup target for the proxmox servers. As we currently still have Hyper-V based legacy...

    Customize LXC container image - systemd-nspawn missing?

    Hi, I am in the process of customizing a provided LXC container image (ubuntu-20.04-standard_20.04-1_amd64.tar.gz) on a PVE 6 host (pve-manager/6.2-12/b287dd27 (running kernel: 5.4.65-1-pve)). I did this process a year ago successfully with the "ubuntu-18.04-standard_18.04.1-1_amd64.tar.gz"...
