    Incoherenet disk size on NAS and in proxmox

    Hi. I have a backup vm (veeam) with a variety of disks, which one of them is located on an NFS share. It was about 20 TB large, residing on a NAS. I decided to expand the pool on the NAS, in order to be able to expand the disk. I expanded it from about 20TB to 41TB. When i got about to expand...

    Remove nodes from cluster - reinstall with same hostname and IP?

    Hi. I'm about to remove two nodes from my 13 node cluster, to form a new cluster (with a q device). The new cluster will be handled by multiportal, to see if it works out for us. Can I just remove them (per documentation), reinstall them and reuse IP address and nodenames, or will this cause...

    rx-usecs 0 overhead on CPU

    Hi. I have a HPE bladechassies with BL460C's in it, with Intel 82599 10 GB dual port nic's in them. Running PVE with lvm on iscsi multipath connected luns I got the Spurious native interrupt! in the syslogs, and I was lurking around google to fins anything on this. I found someone issuing...

    LVM on iSCSI from NFS

    Hi. I'm about to move from NFS to LVM on multipath iSCSI as shared storage in our proxmox cluster. I understand that I need to change the disk definitions on the VM's to use async IO native instead of the default io_uring, and I need to restart the VM's to do that. We have about 230 VM's to...

    Local backup job and offsite sync

    Hi. I have a PBS server running a backup job of our PVE environment. It has a job which keeps last 7 days and then prunes. This job syncs every day to an offsite storage, and it works very well. The problem is, i need to have 7 days of retention on local backup, and 30 days + 1 monthly for 6...

    [SOLVED] Change backup jobs

    Hi. I have a pve cluster of 7 nodes. Today I am running one backup job per server, but I need to change that in order to be able to exclude a VM on a clusterwide scale. VM's might migrate to other hosts, and since I only can exclude VM's on the hosts they're running on, that is a problem. If i...

    [SOLVED] VM's with disks without unit (K,M,G,T etc)

    Hi. I have two VM's which have disks with no unit specified. The disks are qcow2 on NFS share, imported from esx and converted from vmdk. Attached to the vm as sata. One VM has a disk with size 2791726662144, like this: sata0: <storage>:vmid/vm-vmid-disk-0.qcow2,size=2791726662144 The problem...

    Is this a reasonable setup?

    Hi. We have a customer that request a solution for vm's with replication. All vm's will fit on a single node. My thought is to install two equal nodes with the same amount of disks, use the disks in a local zfs pool, and just setup vm replication between the hosts - preferably I can connect the...

    Bonding and VLAN

    Hi. I have the following network config, where vlan 250-251 are for storage, and 254 is for migration. Would it be ok to set the vlan-raw-device to enp65s0f0 for vlan 250 and enp65s0f1 for vlan251, in order to use both network cards for storage, or are there any disadvantages? auto enp65s0f0...

    Safe to edit storage.cfg?

    Hi. I have a 7 node cluster with NFS connected storage. I'd like to try out the nconnect option for NFS mounts, and I understand that I need to change storage.cfg and add "options vers=4.x,nconnect=8" to the mount in question. I have several other nfs exports mounted. Is it safe to add...

    VLAN bridge with vlan interface with ip address?

    Hi. I'm using a VLAN bridge as bridge for all VM's, and tagging the interfaces on the VM instead of having a bridge for each VLAN. For NFS and iscsi, I use a separate network, by using a vlan interface with a tag on the pve host. VLAN tag 250, with an IP address. I'm now testing out veeam for...

    Exclude VM clusterwide

    Hi. I need to set up jobs with different schedules, and I want a "catch all" job for all servers not included in other jobs. I have one catch all job per server. The problem is, I cannot exclude a VM on a host where it does not live. Example: VM 220 on PVE1 VM 230 on PVE2 VM 240 on PVE2 I...

    Split backupjobs for large-ish cluster

    Hello. I run a cluster with 7 nodes - at the moment 60 VMs and a few lxc's. Since we are moving from vmware, the number of vm's will grow. For now, the goal is about 200-250 vm's, but it will grow. I have 6 more hosts potentially joining. I suffer from timeout from the PBS, occasionally (random...

    [SOLVED] Safe to delete flat-vmdk and ctk-vmdk after conversion?

    Hi. I'm in the process of moving vm:s from vmare by sharing a storage between esx and proxmox, successfully attaching the vmdk file to a promox vm, and then move/convert to qcow2 on another storage which vmware has no access to. The vm only have the converted qcow2 disk attached, but the...

    API get storage with content images

    Hi. I'm trying to write a script to calculate the sizes of the VM's disks in order to create an automated report of vm consumption (with cpu/ram/disk). With /api2/json/cluster/resources I only get the boot disk size which is not enough. The idea is to get the data from API and insert it into a...

    Mac address prefix

    Hi. I have one cluster (3-node) and 3 single proxmox servers running alongside (for various reasons). I figured I'd set mac address prefixes so I won't have any problems with identical mac addresses for different VM:s. The cluster runs 8.1.3 and the standalone hosts are 7.4.17, 8.0.3 and...
