block device

To connect to a PBS we must inform its IP and the backups will be made through that IP network, but would there be a way to make the backups go through the FC network? In an arrangement like the one in the diagram, even though the PVE sees the block device through fiber, the backup traffic...

Good day everyone, long time listener first time caller.... I am a CS student and recently picked up a great deal for a home lab: I have an intel H2000WP 4 node server with 512GB ram and 8x xeon e4-2600v2 series cpus. I decided to use proxmox as my hypervisor, and installed all instances to...

I saw that this question shows up often but I still didn't found an answer. On PBS I can browse directly the content of a LXCs backup because it's done file-level. On the other side, VMs backups are done on the block-level so I can't directly browse their content. My final question is...

Hello. unfortunately I can't find information about the maximum number of block devices that can be configured for a virtual machine in PROXMOX 7.x. So, what is the maximum amount of block devices - mainly SCSI that can be added to a virtual machine? Best Daniel

After spending some time learning that SAN is the traditional storage route and that Ceph + "hyperconverged" is actually encouraged now that we have the technology, I am a little lost on how to proceed with my home lab. I don't know if using Ceph would be like trying to shoe horn a new...

I have a long-running server which use 2x ZFS-mirrored 7TB Ultrastar SN200 Series NVMe SSDs running Proxmox 6.2. I bought two more identical devices and setup a second server about a month ago. I could create VMs and migrate to/from local-vmdata (the local ZFS pool on these drives). At some...

Hi all, So we're running a 3 node cluster with Ceph storage (single pool). Now we want to access the Ceph storage as block devices, but all guides I'm finding on the intenet, all refer to eg /dev/rdb/POOLNAME etc, ... I know we did succeed in getting a block device for an existing pool in the...
