It is a network issue. I had set the vlan on the switch wrong. Which leads to the next question. I understand that it is best if CEPH Public and Cluster dataflow is on a separate network (or VLAN). What impact would it have if they were on the same VLAN/Subnet. There is basically only 4 IPs...

Beginner on Proxmox, CEPH and Linux in general. Question on basic behavior. Node 1: Mgmt IP - 192.168.86.111/24 CEPH Public Net IP - 10.10.10.11/24 (no gateway) CEPH Cluster Net IP - 10.10.20.11/24 (no gateway) Node 2: Mgmt IP - 192.168.86.112/24 CEPH Public Net IP - 10.10.10.12/24 (no...

I've finally discovered how to install qemu-agent on windows server core. Please see the method below: Sourced from here: https://gist.github.com/goffinet/36e6581670cde2d016f620f6f490d281 Powershell in or to windows server core: # display available drives Get-PSDrive # create local driver...

This is exactly it. Solved. Thanks!

I've managed to get CEPH working. Exciting stuff! I have this annoying warning constantly present: I assume it comes from this: Can I increase the PG of .mgr to 2? Will it break anything? What is the best practice for this.

Thank you. If I have a 3 node ceph/pve, do you recommend every node to be a monitor?

I am trialing 3 nodes PVE with cluster and CEPH. Should I setup the cluster first or CEPH first.

Bump. No advice from anyone?

The wiki (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Network_Configuration) states: "If you intend to run your cluster network on the bonding interfaces, then you have to use active-passive mode on the bonding interfaces, other modes are unsupported." Does this mean if the ip address is set directly on...

Trying to understand the basic network setup for proxmox cluster with CEPH. Say I have 6 physical nics: eno1 - 6 I would need to have 3 bonds (assume lacp bond): bond0, eno1 eno2, lacp, layer 2+3 bond1, eno3 eno4, lacp, layer 2+3 bond2, eno5 eno6, lacp, layer 2+3 I would also need to have 3...

I've thought about what you said here. With another person's comment somewhere else, this warning finally sunk home. I will repeat my conclusion as it may help other beginners to PVE and CEPH. With RBD storage, cache tiering is not recommended. Excerpt from comment by another regarding this...

Thank you for the answer. However, your answer would apply if I do not use ceph ssd cache feature. In ceph caching scenario, we have 2 pools that are related/overlayed, a ssd pool overlaying over the hdd pool. The question is, in proxmox, which pool do I add as storage, the ssd or the hdd pool?

I am a beginner to proxmox and ceph. Currently in the middle of testing for deployment to a production environment. What I've done (hopefully to help others puzzling over the same issue as well as to verify that my work is correct): 1. Install PVE and Activate CEPH 2. Added 2 x SSD drives...

Due to other posts online stating that RAID1 ZFS requires gobs of system memory, I plan to put my VMs in an RAID1 LVM setup instead. I would then mount this RAID1 LV as a directory in datacenter storage. Is this an acceptable method of running VMs in a production environment? ---- Testing PVE...

I tried to read the wiki and old threads but I still have questions. Basic condition: My PVE server is RAM limited (16GB non-ECC). PVE is running on 2 x 120GB SATA SSD Storage is 1 x 8TB SATA HDD, will add another 8TB HDD for Mirror in the future. 1. ZFS question: Other posts have said that...

Thank you for the prompt response. This is precisely my puzzle. I already have a VM running on a vlan just fine (it gets ip from the dhcp server and can see other devices on that vlan). All while the node's vmbr0 is NOT vlan aware and I don't have dedicated bridges for each vlan set-up in the...

Looking at the wiki, if you don't enable "VLAN Aware" on the node (vmbr0), with vlan set on the guest eth cards, you would fall under this category, is that correct? (red box) It implies that if you enable "VLAN Aware" on the node, you cannot use more than one VLAN on a single virtual NIC...

I have VMs assigned to various vlans and they seem to work fine, with the "VLAN aware" switch in vmbr0 unchecked. The OCD in me wants to turn it on (after all I have multiple vlans in the network) but I am concerned I will lock myself out of the proxmox server (I am not physically in the same...

I installed PVE on a single 120GB drive. I now have a 2nd 120GB drive on hand. Is it possible to mirror the PVE OS drive without reinstalling? I found this guide however it is from 2009 https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/howto-move-installation-from-single-disk-to-raid.1061/ Thank you

A cctv server is always getting hammered on disk writes. Is it feasible as a VM? I am torn between baremetal or VM cctv server. Has anyone run cctv servers in a high density cctv environment (80 cameras split across 3 servers) under proxmox or VMs in general? -------- As to VM or LXC, what...
