boot drive

I'm operating a Dell PowerEdge R740 server as a Ceph node. The current system boot configuration utilizes a single SAS SSD for the OS drive. I'm planning to migrate to an Dell BOSS M.2 SATA drive via PCIe adapter (two drives as RAID 1) (https://www.ebay.com/itm/296760576190) to optimize the...

1. I installed PVE8 on a Secured Boot environment and ended up with GRUB. In my logs below, the bootable disk is 9701-213F 2. I'm trying to create a mirror by adding a 2nd drive to rpool 3. Adding to rpool was seamless, but the 2nd drive doesn't boot if I remove the 1st 4. The steps I tried are...

I have a failed boot drive in a 7 node proxmox cluster with ceph. If I replace the drive and do a fresh install, I would need to trash the OSD's attached to that node. If I could somehow recover the OSD's instead it would be great and probably save time too. Is that possible?

Hi Everyone. I need some ZFS help. I recently got a couple new drives to upgrade my main rpool which consists of 2 drives in a mirror config. I was successfully able to rebuild the rpool with autoexpand by hotswapping in the new drives and resilvering. However, i forgot to copy the boot...
