    file restore test

    Hi, we just moved our biggest Windows fileserver from VMware to proxmox .. Before moving 20+TB we discovered not to use REFS as this would give problems to restore files from it. So we build an NTFS volume for it with clustersize 16KB to exceed the standard 16TB volume limit on 4KB size. Now...

    qemu agent stops randomly

    Many postings about this on the google result-pages but no clear solution. It happens on most agents. Don't know if it happens after virtual migration(s). systemctl restart qemu-guest-agent fixes it and now i'm thinking to get this scheduled on all our vm's if "dead". What could be the...

    Advise on ceph additions: RGW, NFS, iSCSI

    Hi, Does someone have a few pointers about this setup? I want to install a ha object store and eventually some NFS volumes, using our ceph-installation, to use for our internal k8s cluster. Is it better to get this virtualized to avoid upgrade issues on the physical hosts? Does ceph-dashboard...

    Hi, We've got 2 locations with a PBS node and a PVE cluster. We want to backup both clusters and replicate them with eachother. I started with only a zfs-pool called "tank" and mounted the backup-datastore directly on there for each location. Now, after a few months, i think it is best to...

    [SOLVED] OSD outdated and OUT?

    After a recent PVE upgrade (non-enterprise) taking CEPH from 16.2.5 to 16.2.7, the converged storage went offline on my test cluster. Following the advice to get my monitors and managers up again, 2 out of 4 hosts gained an upgraded OSD. After a couple of reboots many OSD's (12 out of 16) went...

    Hi, in a couple of days we'll get our 7 node hardware delivered (4 nics: BOND4LAN , BOND4CEPH). We'll setup OSD's on 5 nodes For the cluster network i understand it is best to use MTU 9000 for faster object replication. The remaining 2 nodes will only connect to the CEPH client to gain access...

    Hi, when creating a VM, it is possible to define KVM64 (default) or a specific CPU instruction. When all hosts are equal, is it best to select the specific type of CPU to use that specific CPU's features? Regards, Martijn

    Memory over-usage protection or disable ballooning?

    Hi, i've been experimenting with an older test setup cluster before i make the move from VMware. I noticed when stressing a host with memory hungry VM's that: -Starting a 2nd VM that exceeds free MEM on the host makes the host crash and reboot (did that on purpose) -Using ballooning, linux...
