I've read countless threads that all say "you can only increase disk size, no easy way to claw back unused space" Some people summarized say "backup and restore to smaller disk" but how ?! My specific situation: I just "upgraded" my single proxmox node into a 3 node cluster using NFS as the...

I'm in the process of upgrading my existing 3 node cluster with 10gbs ethernet cards and was wondering what the best way forward is. All 3 nodes are using the current version of proxmox 7 and I'm using a shared NFS Storage disk between them. I wanted to separate the current 1gb network from...

I've been searching all day for answers and I'm so confused now. What I want to do: Backup my VM's to a Synology NAS. Use a different Synology NAS to host my VM's (with caching and 10Gb ethernet) Set up two proxmox nodes in cluster to allow me to migrate VM's if one fails with the same shared...

So I've looked at a ton of guides on this and they all want to make cows (qcow files) but I'm using lvm-thin on proxmox 5 which no longer does qcow I believe.. So I found a guide that says to just extract the ova file and then use the command: qm importovf No problemo, I have a usb drive...

Hey Everyone So I have a server with a raid controller with 8Gb cache onboard and some nearline SAS 7200 (yes i know they are not the best drives) in raid 5. Server is an ibm SR550 The max disk performance sustained is about 150mb/s read and write. My problem is that when I restore a 300Gb...

I just did a brand new clean windows server 2016 vm (cloned from a template) It runs great but then the next day the console just shows "Start boot option" bios screen and the vm is no longer working but still shows running status. I cannot stop/reset/shutdown it, just get errors after a very...

So I just rebuilt my LVM to just my SAS drives but I still ahve two enterprise grade 32Gb SSD's in the server and I saw a guide online saying LVM supports cache like so : Create The fast method is creating a PV (if necessary) on the fast disk and add it to the existing volume group: # vgextend...

I completely wiped out my system and started from nothing after I assumed I made a mistake. I thought because I mixed SSD and SAS drives in LVM it caused my IO issues. This time I completely left the SSD drives untouched and installed proxmox on the large SAS raid 5 array on the hw controller...

I'm running a windows server 2016 VM on proxmox, so far it has no roles defined or anything just core + gui installed. I have one shared folder and I'm busy copying data from our current file shares onto it using Allwaysync software over the network. While this copy process is happening the...

I'm trying to move a large amount of data on to a new windows 2016 server via usb 3 but I cannot get the host port to pass through. The last line: usb 2-6: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd just keeps repeating over and over and the drive letter shows up in windows but stops...

Ok so I just reinstalled PVE 5.1 from scratch on my new server. The server has /dev/sda 32Gb SSD and /dev/sdb 20Tb raid5. I installed everything on sda. The followed 99 guides and added /sdb as a LVM member. This gave me a ton of space for containers but no space for ISO's. So I shrunk the...

I went through the guides I could find to add a drive and it sort of worked but after a reboot I lost one. Can someone please give me some idea's of what I did wrong here. So I have: Disk /dev/sda: 18.2 TiB, 19999998607360 bytes, 39062497280 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector...

I just did a windows server 2016 install and used SCSI as the storage type (as per video instruction somewhere here) Everything seems to be working well but windows has no details on the storage performance, in task manager the storage tab is completely absent. Is there a way for windows to...

I'm setting up a new server with proxmox 5, I ran some tests on a older machine and finally got my new one today. I'm using an IBM Thinksystem SR550 It has 2 raid controllers, 1. M.2 riser kit on motherboard (2x 32Gb Raid 1) 2. Thinksystem raid 930-8i 2Gb cache (shows up in lspci as: LSI...
