Thanks for your help. VT-d was disabled. I would have swore I had activated it. Sorry for wasting your time.

Hi, I'm trying to configure a PCIe passthrough for a tape drive (the iSCSI can't be applied for reasons). I have issues with IOMMU not being activated. I've followed the instructions at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Pci_passthrough to no avail. My issues arise at these sections: IOMMU...

Thanks. I'll do that for now.

I need to pass-through an LTO tape drive to a VM. I can only find this about tapes: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Tape_Drives, which shows a pretty convoluted way of doing it via iSCSI. However, that page states it's about Proxmox VE 4.0, so I was wondering if there's any easier way to...

Actually there is. They are completely different protocols and their requirements differ. Knowing them, using a single drive as an iSCSI target is a stupid proposition, so I should have said "you shouldn't" instead of "you can't". Ceph does provide a Windows client for block access, so there's...

Thank you for an answer to the point.

How is this "really not proxmox related"? I'm trying to build a Proxmox cluster! My only question is if it's better for my use case to go with 5x16 or 10x8 (node x drives). Not that I don't want to DM you, but I think this would help not just me, but anyone interested by such an essential...

Thank you for your reply. Here are the answers to your questions: Actually, I'd love to use a block device, but I'm still new to ceph and don't know if it's possible to share it over iSCSI with all the workstations (like you can't share a single iSCSI drive with many workstations). Let's assume...

Hi, I'm designing a ceph cluster for our VFX studio. We have about 32 artists seats and I need high sequential read and write speeds, not so much IOPS. I will use whatever it takes to put the best possible hardware inside each node, but I have to decide now if I go with many nodes with fewer...

Using a single VM per node makes little to no difference in resources and allows for easy updates and other advantages (like trying different OS on the whole renderfarm). Bare metal installations are silly these days. Deadline (which we already use) has nothing to do with this.

Thanks, Dylan. I've started to try Proxmox in the renderfarm. So far I have two issues: 1- Renaming nodes: I made a mistake on the name of one of the nodes. I had already installed a VM on it when I realized it. Changing the name was a complete nightmare, to the point I decided to reinstall...

Hi, I'm running a small VFX studio infrastructure. We have a little renderfarm (8 nodes) and I'm considering using Proxmox to manage it. These are the things I plan to use Proxmox for: Manage and monitor the physical servers from a single location Installing a single Linux (or Windows) image...

I've read posts about Proxmox not supporting Ceph EC. Last one was dated on May last year. I'd like to ask if, almost one year later, this is still the stance of Proxmox or we can expect EC support in some near future (2021). I'm considering setting up a separate Ceph cluster (storage only...
