    Using a backup server in a 2 node cluster for quorum

    I am using the qdevice method with the RPI. Good to know this idea is sound. I think I'll start taking the steps to refactor my Trunas box to be a PVE+PBS solution. I'll need to verify some of the other workloads the Trunas server are portable before doing that. The other thing I could do is...

    Using a backup server in a 2 node cluster for quorum

    Has there been any thought of allowing the backup server to join a cluster as a node for quorum purposes only? I currently have a 2 node lab and am using an RPI as an arbiter but I also have a Truenas server for backups in the mix for that cluster. I have thought about replacing with a Proxmox...

    huge packet loss after bond interface setup

    This is a super old thread but in the 5.4 version of Proxmox I had a weird issue with LACP bonds giving me 50% packet loss. My cluster didn't come back in a stable way after a power outage. Generally I get it back with some pve-cluster restarts/massaging but this time it was a pain and I had...

    node cluster hard reboot now dropped

    You need to unmask it. Check its status by: systemctl list-unit-files Its probably masked so unmask it: systemctl unmask pve-firewall.service

    High IO wait following PVE 4 upgrade

    The key here may be Sata controller or Raid1 setup. I have had similar issues after upgrading to Proxmox4 and here is how i solved it. In my logs I had a bunch of messages like this and have had them since the 2.6 kernel with no poor iowait performance or high load: ata5.03: failed command...

    Minimum Hard Drive Requirements for quorum server

    Yes that was the intention. However the hardware on the nettop is not stable and I have scrapped this project. I originally had intended to use an 8gb SSD that was lying around. Thanks for the advice Udo. If this gets picked up again, I'll spring for a larger SSD.

    How to properly separate two nodes from a cluster ?

    This was a useful tip. I have had a bunch of issues with a 2 node cluster that I was able to resolve with this tip. Here is how I did it: Separated the cluster by removing the cluster config. I had backed up /etc/pve before I started working on this. The last copy command puts back the...

    Minimum Hard Drive Requirements for quorum server

    Hi All, I have a goal of installing proxmox on a very small nettop system for use as a quorum server (proxmox/ceph) for an existing 2 node test cluster. I am currently targeting deployment on a 8GB SSD. While it is known that the installer will choke on deploying to a drive this small, I am...

    Cluster not working - /etc/pve read only

    I have a similar issue. I have 2 node cluster that I cant put together. Was working fine until I upgraded to 3.0 a while a go. I get the same error messages you do and my setup in LACP bonds to a pair of Netgear GS716Tv2 which are also connected to each other via LACP. Multicast seems ok...

    Boot Problem with ASMedia ASM1062 Onboard Controller

    I'll answer my own question. Those controllers work right out of the box with the 2.6 kernel (latest) and show up as ASM1062 chips.

    Boot Problem with ASMedia ASM1062 Onboard Controller

    I have a question about this. I am looking at a PCI-E controller with the ASM1061 chip (Mediasonic HP1-SS3) for an external multi-bay e-sata box with port multiplier. Its not clear if the 2.6 kernel will support this controller in this use case (non bootable). Can you give some input on this...

    vm locked after failed backup, can't unlock

    hineshummer27 That definitely worked for me. The hung backup processes were removed with no headache using that method.

    Network failure

    I haven't completed the tests for the 802.3ad bond but I have had great success with this setup: 2x Netgear GS716T connected to each other with a 2 port LACP LAG Proxmox server with 2x PCI-E network cards, RTL8111/8168B based Gigabit based One PCI-E network card plugged into each swich No...

    Network failure

    Just an update to this. The issue is with the balance-alb bond type. I was trying to use this to split the bond over 2 switches for redundancy. I setup another test using 2x Netgear gs716t units and the only way balance-alb works is if the bridges that the VMs are using all are in the same...

    Network failure

    I have found examples of this issue with the bonded interface (alb) in v1.9 as well using OpenVZ containers. What seems to be the issue for me is that when I have a VM that is using a IP address and gateway on a different subnet than the host machine is using, It will lose connectivity after...

    problem with default UTF8 not UTF-8

    I know this is old but I think I figured out whats happening. I'll bet if you did a locale command without the -a you would see that all your locales are set to POSIX and not en_US.UTF-8. I had the same problem in a openVZ container and did this to fix it. export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 export...

    2 server cluster - non HA

    I think I must have changed the hostname or IP settings after I installed the nodes the first time (or at least the first node) and this was giving all the grief. A fresh reinstall of both nodes fixed the isssue. Be very careful not to change any hostname or IP settings after creating the...

    Ok I got it going. I think the main issue is working when overtired. Never a good thing. Thanks again.
