    ZFS import during boot takes a very long time and results in kernel panic.

    Hi all, We have a system (proxmox ve 6.4, ZFS 2.0.7) which ran for about a year and a half without any problems but now has problems getting a ZFS pool mounted/imported. During boot it takes a very long time at Importing ZFS pools using cache file. And eventually the system kernel panics. I...

    Best practices for storage replication (for a specific use case)

    Hi all, I would like to check with the community about my findings for storage replication for a specific use case. In short: I have a CCTV VM which stores incoming CCTV video recordings. For simplicity it's a Windows VM with a 100GB OS disk (on a ZFS RAID1 with 2x 240GB SSD's) and a 10TB data...

    Possible to detect guest hangs in HA using Qemu Agent?

    Hi, In a 3 node CEPH/Proxmox 4 HA Cluster, I recently had a Windows 7 Guest VM hang (BSOD). As expected HA never kicked in because in proxmox' point of view the VM is up and running. I thought maybe the QEMU Guest Agent would help checking for hung VM's but when I checked the wiki page it only...

    Weird ha-manager state

    Hi all, We have a 4 node proxmox 4.2 cluster. We cannot seem to get the HA manager in a healthy state. The config of HA looks empty (resources.cfg = empty and ha-manager config shows nothing). BUT the status shows different (same output on all 4 nodes): # ha-manager status -verbose quorum OK...

    CEPH is stopped before pve-manager during shutdown of node

    Hi all, When I shutdown a pve node (using the GUI, select the node and then select the shutdown button in the upper right) I noticed that one of the first services to actually stop is CEPH. CEPH is stopped before pve-manager for instance. When pve-manager is stopped, it tries to cleanly...
