    Proxmox & Ceph, auditing disks?

    Hello, I am trying to identify, "rogue" or not attached disks in our ceph/proxmox cluster. I run a few auditing type functions on our Ceph storage to find out which VMs are using the most space (as in used, not preallocated), and removing them. I find that: #rbd -p <pool name> du...

    VM storage traffic on Ceph

    Hello, I think I have misunderstood how some of the different networks function within Proxmox. I have a cluster of 9 nodes. Each node has two network cards; a 40Gbit/s dedicated for ceph storage, and a 10Gbit/s for all other networking (management/corosync, user traffic). I had assumed...

    Let's encrypt on a multi-node cluster

    Hello, I have been following the instructions at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Certificate_Management on a 5 node Proxmox cluster. Let's encrypt (using ACME) was used on the first node, PVE1, with great success. Accessing the server shows a valid certificate. Accessing VMs on PVE1 via noVNC...

    Mac OSX SPICE USB Device Selection

    Hello, I'm trying to get the Mac OSX version of virt-viewer (remote-viewer) working with USB Device Selection. The instructions for building located at https://www.spice-space.org/osx-client.html seem a bit out of date (0.5.7 is the latest bundle provided) but thankfully it was pretty...

    Ceph Performance within VMs on Crucial MX500

    Hello, I think I have not set up things correctly on my 4 node proxmox-with-ceph cluster. I'm using consumer Crucial MS500 SSDs on HP DL380 Gen9 servers (1tb ram). Seven 2TB hard drives are set up as individual raid 0 (I couldn't find a pure HBA option in the server config) drives for ceph...

    Hello, I would like to perform some analysis on a secondary virtual machine's hard drive, but don't want to accidentally alter the data. Is there a way to set a virtual machine's hard drive read-only in proxmox, or within the conf file please?

    Removing "hibernate" state of vm? Proxmox 5.4

    Hello, I went through the process of hibernating all VMs on a 5.4 proxmox server recently (qm suspend --vmid <id> --todisk 1) before a server reboot. After rebooting, I tried resuming all the vms (qm resume <vmid>) but not all of them woke back up, many of them not thawing but timing out...

    Hello, I would like to change the default noVNC setting for scaling mode from "off" to "local scaling", such that whenever any VM is opened, it will automatically scale to the window. Is this possible please?

    Ceph and Main Network Considerations

    Hello, I understand that it is best practice to have Ceph running on a separate network to the main proxmox network. I have two network setups, one considerably faster than the other (40gbit & 10gbit). Is it better to have the faster for Ceph, or for the main proxmox network? Thanks!

    Extending /etc/pve/.clusterlog

    Hello, I am trying to create an audit trail spanning a couple of months of user logins into proxmox. I believe /etc/pve/.clusterlog is the best source of information, but by default it only stores the last 50 entries. Is there any way, short of running a cron job to archive every so often...
