A lot of time passed :) but stil those servers are in use, now with proxmox 8. And i have 6 such servers - G7-G9 running… so far so good. The answer is rather simple. For one server - the main one - i got HBA controller and replaced the delivered hw raid. But for all others i was not able to do...

This morning, I have updated Proxmox to 7.2-14 and no LXC started. The binutils fixed it.

Hi everyone, just sharing my experience, in case someone else goes the same path. I have disabled the SWAP and then removed the ZRAM entirely. Perhaps an obvious thing for gurus, but I had to dig into this a bit deeper as the Proxmox server was installed 5 years back and at that time the ram was...

P:S. When the SWAP is disabled completly, do I suppose correctly that the swapiness level plays no role or shall it also be set to 0 just to make sure the system does not expect the swapping as a backup plan?

Thanks Dunuin, now when I read your first sentence loud it makes more sense. I setup ZRAM as SWAP in order to allow the system to have fast swapping available when it runs out of RAM, but I actually took the RAM for this purpose so I basically just take part of my precious RAM and serve it as a...

Thansk Aaron for reply. I do follow your explanations and they make sense to me. I can try to disable the L2ARC, although I am a bit of a amateur so I want to make sure that I dont screw the server up by disabling it. The server is several hundreds of KM from me so it can be a nightmare for me...

I will certainly give a try as if this works, you saved a kitten! Sorry for my previous negative feedback, but I just feel that every day I find some bad Windows surprise so I am about to give up the fight, but this procedure, if found working will be a live saver! I will report in a few days...

Dear proxmox gurus! first please accept my deep respect as the solution is absolutely amazing. I do use it for a non-profit organization to help them cope with their IT on an affordable way. It is running for 5+ years and I am on version 6.4-13 at the moment, planning to go to 7 by xmas. When in...

Hi, I gave up on windows totally, this simply is a virus in IT world. So most severs are linux and those two ADs are accepted as necessary evil. The schedule is done so that it does not interfere with users working (due to performance drop during backups). Same like updates in Windows servers -...

Thanks, also a valid opinion. Didnt find any scheduled regularly running defrag task. Although the task exist, it does not have any activation. and it was last run a week ago, which would not match with daily "dirty backups"

Seems a valid opinion to me. I searched for something related to this topic and found basically only one thing - an example here: https://support.purestorage.com/Solutions/Microsoft_Platform_Guide/sss_Windows_Server_Features_and_Integrations/Windows_Space_Reclamation I have compared all my...

This is exactly what I think is happening... I will just accept it, it is Microsoft, they do not want us to ask...

Dear Proxmox community members, first A HUGE THANK for absolutely amazing tools, including PBS. Testing it on two places already some weeks and after understanding the retention setting I say it is a life saver. I am down from 4 hrs to 1 hr with daily virtual machines backups. Amazing...

This worked for me too... Virtual Environment 5.2-2 and latest emu agent and now I can w2k12r2 IP address. Great! Thanks

Thanks Alex. Somehow I felt in love with ZFS, but you are right, it is not a show stopper to not to have it. Just wanted to see it more and more in action. I really appreciate your answer. This is exactly what I needed to hear. Will check the H240. I did not even expect any existing HP...

Dear gurus! I am running a ML380 G9 server with SATA drives and Proxmox VE 5.1 and love the performance and reliability. Recently we got a new HP DL380 G9 server with integrated HW RAID Smart Array P440 and 6 SAS 15k drives. I want to move my setup to this more equipped server, but I am...

Thanks Rob and Joshin, You pretty much proposed what I was intending to do. I was really surprised, that the HP Proliant GL380 does not allow to insert a hard drive while the server runs. Perhaps it is because it is a SATA and not SAS/SCSI disk... But when I do insert it AFTER the POST...

Dear Proxmox gurus, I am here new. Spend several days trying to resolve my issue by looking through this forum, but not sure I saw similar situation, although the symptoms seem to be discusses a lot here. I would need to hear some hints as I am fairly new in this and need to solve a situation in...
