HI, I'm trying to work out the best way to achieve something like the following: A backup job that performs a nightly backup of every VM on the cluster with no exclusions. This is a failsafe job to ensure that we don't forget to backup a new VM, and for many VMs a simple nightly backup is...

Hi, I have read the comments that PBS is not designed with much consideration for HDDs, but .... My PBS server is running 22x EXOS SATA HDDs in ZFS RAID10, with a special NVMe vdev for metadata. My VM storage is NVMe iSCSI conencted at 100G, and the connection to PBS is 10G. I can run a...

We need to periodically test our backups and live restore functionality without disrupting the running VMs. We can test a static restore by choosing an unused VMID but without the ability to choose a different VLAN the live restore will conflict with the running VMs. Does anyone have a...

I'm sure this must have been asked already, but I can't find it. Simple question - How can I restore an entire VM, or spin up a quick recovery version of a VM, without overwriting the original VM, for example as part of a DR test? Thanks, Steve

Hi, I've noticed that all of the 100G Mellanox NICs in my hosts are shown as 'degraded' by networkctl, although they seem to be working just fine. I understand that a bond can be degraded, but a single NIC? and all of the 100G NICs? Could this be a driver limitation? The enp197... and...

Hi, I have a pair of 100G NICs on my proxmox hosts, and since I have bandwidth to kill I'm hoping to use them for three functions with approriate VLANs: management, client VM traffic, and iSCSI. For the management and client VM traffic I want to use these NICs in an active-backup bond, but...

Hi, I'm building a new PVE kit with 6 hosts. I understand that Corosync pushes very little data but is sensitive to latency. I'll be using VLAN'd 100G NICs for storage, VM traffic and the PVE management GUI, but I thought I'd dedicate the 1G NICs that come standard with the servers to running...

Regarding the references to Proxmox not supporting VM snapshots with iSCSI - is this just with its own iSCSI target? We have been using StarWind VSA with VMware for years and are looking to switch to Proxmox. I'm planning to continue using StarWind as the iSCSI target. Does the loss of snapshot...

Hi, Newbie here. Worse ... a Windows newbie lol. I've run up a three-node PVE cluster with Ceph, and so far all good. One thing I'd love is to be able to present Ceph storage to my existing vSphere infrastructure as iSCSI. It appears that the HA iSCSI gateway is included in Ceph as per...
