    [SOLVED] Creating cluster, migration fails due to ssh errors

    Basically what the title says. When I try and migrate a test VM from the original node to the new one I get a status box with no content, and when I choose stop I get this: 2025-06-24 16:40:26 ERROR: migration aborted (duration 00:00:22): Can't connect to destination address using public key...

    [SOLVED] Confused: cluster, local ZFS pools for VM storage

    This is my fault - trying to create a cluster and thought I had the second node configured as the first, but I missed a step: Node 1: local ZFS pool on the boot NVMe: named local-vfs ZFS pool for VM storage: named vm_zfs Added vm_zfs in datacenter view as storage for VMs with the same name...

    Question on clusters and mixing AMD/Intel

    I'm migrating a cluster from XCP-ng to Proxmox. I'm using Vinchin for this and for the most part it's not too bad, provided I don't need to boot from a Centos CD and reconfigure the start environment to include VirtIO drivers - I've done this twice and am working to not have that happen a third...

    Pre-install questions Proxmox/CEPH

    I ran a Proxmox cluster for a while a couple of years back and was reasonably happy running on ZFS as local storage for VMs, but wanted native support for Veeam so I moved to Hyper-V. I'm not nearly as happy with Hyper-V, and am at the point where I'll either install reinstall my VMs on bare...

    No quorum after removing cluster nodes

    I'm in the process of migrating from Proxmox to another virtualization platform because business needs require Veeam, and Veeam doesn't support Proxmox. To do this I've been pulling a node, configuring it using the other hypervisor, and pushing a restore of my VMs to the new hypervisor. I've...

    Migrate VMs from Proxmox --> Hyper-V?

    So my business focus has changed a bit, and now I'm selling backups and DR. Which means I'll be running Veeam, which means I need to switch my cluster to Hyper-V or VMWare in order to support the most useful functions that Veeam offers. Is there a solid tutorial on migrating to Hyper-V? Is it...

    Trying to mount an NFS share with username/password

    I'm missing something really simple here. I've got a network share that's password protected. In /etc/pve/storage.cfg I changed the options line to state: options vers=3,username=myusername,password=mypassword (not my real username/password, of course.) When the backup task tries to...

    [SOLVED] invalid PVE ticket

    Here's the sequence of events leading up to this problem: Install one PVE host. Play with it for a week or so. Get happy. Buy support, and update from the stable repository. Install Proxmox on a second machine. Buy support, install updates from stable repository. Create a cluster with these...

    Deciding on L2ARC size (if at all)

    Situation: I'm evaluating a cluster built on low-end Dell T30 computers with ram maxed out at 64G. I have the recommended Samsung SSD as a SLOG using a 32G partition, and I'm trying to decide if I should dedicate the rest of the drive to L2ARC functionality, and if so how much of it? In...

    Disk performance: should I be seeing better?

    I'm doing a build on a Dell T30 - I know it's low end, but there are reasons (like trying to get the entire cluster to run on a 15amp circuit, and only needing 2 machines to migrate my VMs to the new location so I can bring datacenter boxes home and re-purpose them...) My goal was to put a...

    Cascading backups?

    You know what? Never mind. I figured it out. :) This is the advantage of buying a $31 Kindle Technical Book, kids: they contain useful information if you're wise enough to keep reading before asking questions of others on public forums. :p

    Testing you'd like to see?

    My Situation: I've got 3 Xenserver hosts in a datacenter that's overkill for my needs, and I'm tired of paying for a full rack. So I'm going to host out of my house - gigabit fiber and generator backup are already here, so it just makes sense. It'll be a step down as far as uptime, but for the...

    Am I doing this right?

    Actually, I bought Mastering Proxmox last night on Kindle, so I'll take this down, find what answers I can, and come back with more later. :)
