    Convert cluster to single node

    Hi, I want to convert a three node cluster to a single node. Can I just move all VMs to node1, power off node2 and node3 and remove them from the cluster as described here? Do I also have to turn off cluster services on node1? Thanks

    Performance: zvol vs. raw files on a dataset

    Hi, while getting some infos about bhyve I stumbled upon this site: https://klarasystems.com/articles/virtualization-showdown-freebsd-bhyve-linux-kvm/ It's actually about comparing bhyve to KVM, but there is another thing: they compare IO performance of VMs installed in a zvol or in a raw file...

    PBS verfication vs. zfs scrub

    Hi, PBS documentation about backup verification says: IMHO it would be a better idea to do a "zfs scrub" on the data store on a regular basis instead of re-verification of backups, wouldn't it? ZFS has everything included to save your data (and even fix it again, when on a redundant array)...

    ZFS "refreservation" property twice the size of the VM

    Hi, I've noticed that my vm-200-disk-0 eats up 6 TB of disk space although it's disk is set to 3 TB only: root@pve1 ~# zfs list NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT rpool 12.7G 202G 104K /rpool rpool/ROOT 12.7G 202G 96K...

    Hi, after boot on console a message appears: "To configure this server connect to https:ipadress:8006/" Where is this message located? I've changed the server IP, but the message still shows the old one.

    Create a LXC container template

    Hi, I'd like to create a Salix OS container (Slackware based, https://salixos.org/). Therefore I need to create a container template first, but I have no idea how to do it. Actually I've thought I basically can just create a tar.gz of the root file system, add some description/config files and...

    Install Proxmox on an existing ZFS rpool

    Hi, is it possible to install Proxmox on an existing ZFS rpool by just deleting the rpool/RPOOL/pve-1 dataset and recreating it? I'm just wondering if I can reinstall Proxmox without losing VMs that are stored on the rpool, too. Thanks!

    Question about root disk failure

    Hi, I've got a Proxmox installed on a ZFS RAID1. I've also noticed that the two root disks have 3 partitions: "BIOS boot", "EFI system" and "ZFS". I wonder what happens, when one of the root disks fails. For ZFS it should not be a problem, but what about booting the system? Are the first 2...

    Proxmox VM backup vs. wbadmin vs. [...]

    Hi, until now I've used wbadmin to backup Windows machines (no matter if VM or on real hardware). But now I've setup a Proxmox test machine and I've found the integrated VM backup feature which looks very interesting to me. Did a short test with a Linux guest, which worked flawlessly. But I...
