What are some strategies that people use to backup/clone/automate/etc OS disks and configurations? I've read a number of threads on this topic - varying from clonezilla backups, automated config managers, zfs send cron jobs and many more. Many are outdated and I am curious if there are more...

Hi - I am hoping to find some more clarification about Ceph total data usage as it is represented in Prox UI. Info on the cluster & storage: 3 servers, each w/ 2x 1TB SSD + 10x 2TB HDD Ceph Pools: 2 #1: ceph_ssd (triple replication, host failure domain) #2: ceph_hdd (triple replication, host...

Hi All, I am hoping to get some insight into why my cluster load averages are fairly high despite low CPU Loads & I/O Wait. Basic Overview: 3x Dell R740xD; Dual Xeon Gold 6138 (2x 20/40 = 80c), 10x32GB 2666MHz DDR4 Storage Type: Ceph (hyper converged) Here's a snapshot from my Grafana...

Other than checking ping, is there a another more reliable method using Prox API to determine if a specific node is alive or dead? I was hoping that pvecm had an option to poll specific nodes with pvecm status, but it only provides the overview. I am writing an if-fi that will determine which...

I currently have a 10GbE RSTP Loop running on my three node cluster, as outlined here https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Full_Mesh_Network_for_Ceph_Server. And it is working well. However I want to add a secondary ring to my Ceph Public network. I have 2 spare 1GbE ports available on each node. Is...

Hi all. I am soon deploying a three node cluster with HA guests & CEPH storage. I will be setting up apcupsd to initiate graceful shutdown, but I am unsure of the appropriate shutdown scripting when HA & CEPH are in play. I have a few questions and would greatly appreciate any tips: 1. What...

Hello. I'm wondering if anyone can share their experience using tuned-agm profiles to improve performance of a PVE/CEPH HA cluster. There is a "network-latency" profile that seems ideal for CEPH. But then there are also the "virtual-guest" and "virtual-host" profiles that RHEL recommends. If...

Has anyone deployed a small/mid-sized VDI using the Prox platform? And if so, what's your experience been? I'm currently demoing a small cluster w/Ceph for static services at work, mainly license servers that require HA and it's going well so far. However, management is also interested in...
