    325GB of free RAM but "insufficient memory" for new VMs

    While I could not spin up new VMs last week, it works this week. I am not sure if an update came down to fix it but I did nothing. RAM usage is steady at 200GB of 512GB. I don't get it.

    How do I convert an IDE disk to VirtIO?

    Thanks - that did it. Wish list: an installer for the KVM tools that injects all of the necessary stuff into the right places so that we don't need to resort to trickery.

    How do I convert an IDE disk to VirtIO?

    I have installed the drivers in the Windows guest and then powered it off. I detached the disk and then reattached it with a VirtIO instead of IDE (side bar: zero reason not to have a simple pull down for this in the 'EDIT' menu). I get 'inaccessible boot device' shortly into the boot of the...

    [SOLVED] VirtIO Windows Network Very Slow

    This was solved by hanging the Proxmox VMs off of Intel SR-IOV Virtual Function adapters instead of a direct bridge at the Ethernet level. https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/technology-briefs/sr-iov-nfv-tech-brief.pdf It would be nice if there were a proper GUI config...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox ZFS - Unusable

    This was solved by switching to the Avago 9400 HBA in lieu of the LSI 3108 (which does not have an HBA mode). Apparently, ZFS does not like it if it cannot 'speak directly' with the disks. We switched from VMware to Proxmox specifically for ZFS. Without ZFS, there would be no reason to...

    Intel SR-IOV VF Ethernet Passthrough Config

    Regarding this thread: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/virtio-windows-network-very-slow.43231 I have found that what I am experiencing is an unavoidable issue with certain Intel NICs (bridging and routing does not work with VMs under VT-d). The Intel-suggested solution is to use SR-IOV. I...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox ZFS - Unusable

    Here's the zpool configs. I don't have a ZIL on tank01 because it was kicked out. If the new HBA is stable, then I will add it back: # zpool status pool: tank01 state: ONLINE scan: resilvered 132G in 0h52m with 0 errors on Tue Apr 24 20:06:21 2018 config: NAME...

    [SOLVED] VirtIO Windows Network Very Slow

    I have a bunch of Windows 2008R2 and 2012R2 servers on Proxmox using ZFS and VirtIO. Using CrystalDiskMark with the 8Gbyte test file setting, I can get over 2 Gbytes/sec for sequential read and write and over 100,000 QD32 IOPS. The network is bridged (EDIT: I had nat'ed here but it is...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox ZFS - Unusable

    We have several other Ubuntu boxes sitting around and they've been clean as a whistle for years. It seems like there are so many users that the bugs and best practices really get boiled out. We chose Proxmox because we wanted something that was a little more 'enterprise' grade but it just...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox ZFS - Unusable

    How do I do this? I spent last night (7pm to 2am) replacing a RAID card (LSI 3108 to 9400) on the hunch that might help. I did a dist-upgrade at the same time and it only took me to 4.13.16-2-pve. I did get a new version of zfs out of it, though: proxmox-ve: 5.1-42 (running kernel...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox ZFS - Unusable

    I have 15 Proxmox on ZFS installs in production and we've found that, after a while, the IO slows to a crawl (mostly HGST 6TB RAID10 with Samsung NVME caches). We've spent a year troubleshooting to no avail. It seems to be related to this bug: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/6171...

    Remove USB passthrough devices

    Passing through a USB device and upgrading kernels happen at different intervals. I work for an organization that works 24x7 on things in large groups - powering off a server is often something that needs to wait for a small window where all the time zones are mostly sleeping.

    Remove USB passthrough devices

    I used the commands in the wiki for USB 3.0 under "Assign Devices to an already Running VM": device_add nec-usb-xhci,id=xhci,addr=0x5 device_add usb-host,bus=xhci.0,vendorid=0x0480,productid=0xa007 You're saying that I need to include an identifier (id=xyz) on the second line in order to be...
