Hi
Currently I run a single node PBS host for backups of a 5-node PVE-cluster.
My servers are rented from a datacenter provider and the server used for backups is a fixed configuration as going dynamic will increase the costs to an unreasonable amount.
Therefore I am currently limited to 8 x...
Hi
I manage a smaller PVE setup of 5 hosts (3 hosts running VMs and 2 to store backups and restore to when needing to extract data).
PBS is really great news as we run backup for 20-22 hours every day and push close to 10TB of data every day.
We are currently looking into PBS on the two backup...
Tried to manually shutdown every running VM by connecting to them using either SSH or RDP.
Then initiated a soft reboot from the node using SSH. At some point it went into a loop with the running sessions for root and some PVE sync service.
Forced a reset using IPMI and server came up with no...
Hi
Both nodes are still stuck at the same spot. Just today, we have added a new node to the cluster and qourate for the new node went fine, so that cluster seems to be OK.
I will attempt a forced reboot of one node tonight to see if it breaks completely or if it comes back up with no problems...
Nothing seems obviously blocking I/O.
Using pvecm status, shows that everything is healthy.
What would happen if I forced a host reboot? Would that break the cluster?
Hi
I manage a PVE 5.3 cluster on 4 nodes. This is running in Unicast mode on OVH vRack system.
This morning I decided to install the latest patches for the systems and while two of the nodes completed fine, two other nodes hang at the step "Processing triggers for pve-ha-manager (2.0-6)". They...
So I have now tried to reproduce the problem and recorded the output of dmesg to a file using this command:
dmesg | grep 'bnx' > bnx2.txt
And this is the result:
[ 2.154065] bnx2x: QLogic 5771x/578xx 10/20-Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2x 1.712.30-0 (2014/02/10)
[ 2.154177] bnx2x...
According to the HPE Support website and the firmware versions from the iLO4 adapter, then I have the latest versions.
When I have some time later this week, I will try to reproduce the problem and look at dmesg to see if something useful comes up
Hi
So I finally got myself a 10G SFP+ switch and wanted to connect my Proxmox host to it.
The host is an HP DL360p Gen8. The server is equipped with a 2-port HP 530FLR-SFP+ FlexLOM NIC, which is basically an HP-branded Broadcom/QLogic controller.
When connected without being VLAN aware, it runs...
Hi
A few days ago, the boot drive (U.SB stick) for my PVE host, decided to die. I did have a backup image of the drive and a backup of all virtual machines, so I simply flashed the backup image onto a similar drive and the server booted normally again.
I know that Proxmox is not that well...
Thank you for the reply. Strange that Proxmox has advertised this as possible, but it does not work from the GUI.
I know at least half of our staff that do not know how to use the terminal/SSH/CLI.
Maybe this will work from the GUI in PVE 5.2
I will try the above
Hi
Earlier this week, I provisioned two new PVE 5.1 hosts with OVH and using ZFS for the local storage pools.
This works fine and VMs are running really fast.
I then wanted to try the new live migration with local storage that was introduced with PVE 5.0, but it did not seem to be working...
The problem is that our servers are a little old and have quite a lot of VMs running, so the upgrade to PVE 5 might take 30 minutes or less, but the real problem comes when the VMs have to shut down and the physical server has to POST again and then restart the VMs.
The upgrade of our lab...
Hi
Is it possible to run the upgrade to PVE 5 from PVE 4.4 using the official guide in the wiki and then wait with the reboot until later and if so, are there any features that will not work, like fx. live migration on local storage?
Too bad. Guess that I have to either store the ISO-files directly on the node or symlink the necessary files into a new location which I then add the PVE
Hi
I have recently deployed a new NAS/File server within my network and wanted to add the fileshare containing ISO- images to my Proxmox VE 5.0 host.
However, I noticed that each time I add some storage to Proxmox, it creates a default structure. Since these ISO-images are used no only by...
Hi
Thank you for the reply.
This is great news as we can run our testing and then once we find that any release bugs have been fixed, then we can upgrade the nodes one by one.
Hi
We are in the process of planning an upgrade to Proxmox 5.0. We will however wait a few weeks to make sure that any issues with the in-place upgrade have been solved.
What we cannot seem to find is if a 5.0 installation can exist in a 4.4 cluster as we need to upgrade our system one node at a...
We have now tested a bit more on this and it seems the network stack on the primary server has a delay of about 30 seconds from network init in the OS until we can communicate.
This also explains why we can reproduce the issue after a reboot on CentOS 7.
Our primary server is an older...
Hi again
After doing some more testing on the issue, we found that installing CentOS 6 VM on newer hardware the issue does not occur, but upon shutting down and cold booting a CentOS 7 on the primary host, we see the same behaviour.
We are going to test if we can reproduce this again without a...
