Right. So, in this kind of hardware configuration, they would be required to run PVE "on-top" of Debian. No other option.

Have an inquiry from a customer about backing up his air-gapped PVE hosts. They are asking if others have solved the issue of getting backups stored offsite is this type of environment. Has anyone run into this?

I am assuming given that lack of any responses for the past couple of weeks that PVE cannot support this type of hardware configuration? Need to confirm for the customer.

Have customer that would like to install and run Proxmox VE in this environment with a fiber SAN for storage. Current VMWare configuration allows for an installed ESXi boot and operation across the network. How would this option best be replicated with PVE?

I am not sure if the customer is running PMG virtualized. It may be on a bare metal install. In such a case would the LXC support be an issue? Also, same goes for "Guests", or am I misunderstanding that term?

Customer has been running older version (5.x) and looking to renew. They are asking if they upgrade to the latest (8.1) but are concerned about importing the existing setup. Is there any problem migrating upward two version release levels ahead of renewal? Thanks and regards, Stefan

Thanks for this. I was spinning my wheels for a while. As for the follow up question, I had tried the qm import disk without success. DDing as specified above worked, but I had to make sure that Raw was specified for the image in the shell script.

Hello everyone, I have open ticket with Support on this, but I also wanted to get some feedback from the PGM Community. We have a customer that is considering using Proxmox Mail Gateway's for their monthly invoice batching. This is mission critical email that needs to go out without fail in...

Hello, We have a PX node where the a compressed backup for the primary VM no longer fits in the defined zfs-backups storage areas (around 150g). A backup job fails at the end when it runs out of space. I have tried different compressions and types without success. At this moment, I am...

Yes. I figured a standard VM restore would not be out of the question. But I was wondering if the dat file itself could be a examined for some sort of partial data extracttion of files and folders that existed on virtual disk of the VM?

Thanks, Tom. The customer is pretty desperate at this point. If the actual VM itself cannot be recovered, it is at all possible to use forensic methods to extract specific data from the disk storage files within? Is the vma.dat file readable at all?

For a VM that has been lost without full backups. Is this possible?

OK. I am pulling that list from https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#_storage_types and https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage. I know there many options, and my concern is for medium to mid-market clients with limited funds for hardware and software investment that still want...

I continue to look into the right answer on this. Is the info below still correct? These would be the only Shared storage options for a HA cluster (aside from NFS and CIFS). If we have clients that are setting up a 3-5 nodes, I would like to settle on a stable and affordable recommendation.

OK, so the current version of FreeNAS combined with the Proxmox + patches is a workable configuration for ZFS over iSCSI - and shared with a cluster?

One of my primary concerns here is the iSCSI drivers in Proxmox. Can we use any commercial pair of network appliances that support iSCSI as shared storage for a cluster and safely assume the connection will work OK?

czechsys - for this particular customer, there will be 3 PVE nodes, and they did not want to consider direct attached storage option. Performance requirements are not extremely significant , but they do not want to implement a "slow" solution. A network appliance is definitely one of the methods...

Thanks for the clarification, Raku - please keep me posted on your progress within this topic? We are trying to establish a standard / preferred shared cluster storage to recommend to our Proxmox customers and prospects, and I would like to have assurances that people have had consistent...

Very good, and working well? How is it otherwise configured? Is the connection through iSCSI? How are thexpected drives formatted?

Raku - What kind of problems did you experience with OmniOS? This was just recommended to for an iSCSI shared storage solution for a PVE cluster. Is FreeNAS a better choice in your opinion?
