    IO delay issues

    I suspect the answer here will be consumer SSD / read the FAQ - but I'm trying to understand if there is anything else I am missing. I'm curious as all four of these SSDs were running on Proxmox 6 in a cluster on different hosts without issue. When I built these two new-to-me servers the drives...

    [SOLVED] PCI(e) passthrough of a device that shares vendor:device id

    Hello, I have an HP DL380P G8 with four port onboard NIC and a PCIe four port NIC. They are both seen by Proxmox as "Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries NetXtreme BCM5719 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe [14e4:1657] (rev 01)" Is there some way add the PCI(e) card to modprobe to...

    I've acquired a few new (to me) HP DL380p G8 servers and plan to get a Proxmox cluster installed on them. These have the infamous P420i RAID controllers in them which will not boot from HDD when in HBA mode. I've done a bunch of research and know other people are successfully doing what I am...

    I have come into some HP DL380 G8's and I was originally thinking about deploying them in my homelab as a three node Proxmox + Ceph hyper converged environment. Then I got into a rabbit hole of research on Ceph and also realized the impact to my power bill of running all of these servers 24x7...

    Hello, I have several Linux boxes connecting to my NAS (powered by Unraid) via CIFS / SMB. Proxmox, in particular, is causing the NAS to run out of memory using over 8 - 10 GB of RAM over a period of days. This causes the NAS to trigger out of memory errors and the reaper to kill processes...

    Unable to activate storage - cifs mount dies randomly

    Hello, I've been running into this issue recently where my cifs mount for "backup" randomly goes offline. The icon in the GUI has a question mark and I start seeing entries like this in the log: Oct 11 11:41:05 vmh01 pvestatd[1371]: unable to activate storage 'backup' - directory...

    Cisco UCS FlexFlash

    Hi Folks, Wondering about installing Proxmox onto a Cisco UCS server using the FlexFlash SD cards - is this possible / supported / recommended? This is how you (can) install VMware on the UCS platform so the Hypervisor boots from SD and runs in memory. Thanks!
