disk

To verify backup images, I have to run this in the CLI zstdcat /var/lib/vz/dump/vzdump-qemu-100-2023_05_02-21_36_38.vma.zst | vma verify -v - Would be very helpful if it can be from the GUI as well.

This one feels like a bit of a bug to me. 1. I have 2 ZFS pools, rpool and vpool 2. When I restore a VM, PVE likes to restore to rpool by default, so a VM disk gets created, e.g. vm-100-disk-0 under rpool's VM Disks 3. So I stop it and restore again to vpool, however the disk in rpool still...

Hello, We currently run our PVE Cluster on HPE DL380 G9 Servers. Recently we migrated over from VMware. In VMWare we could push / run disk identification via the GUI or shell that would activate the blue identification LED on the physical drive. Anyone know of a way to do that in PVE? We...

I am new to Proxmox and I have moderate experience with Linux environment. I am trying to convert a physical hard drive (attached to the PVE machine) to an image to add it to my Windows VM. I ran the following command: root@pve:/dev/pve# dd if=/dev/sdb of=driveImage.img bs=1M status=progress...

Hello Everyone. We received excellent feedback from the previous storage performance investigations, particularly the technotes on optimal disk configuration settings (i.e., aio native, io_uring, and iothreads) and the deep dive into optimizing guest storage latency. Several community members...

Hello, for a long time (personal home lab, machine from 2016, I don't know how long the problem exist, I just ignored it until now), I have the problem, that one single VM on my system is able to let the load explode to >40 and let other VMs crash. Just with disk operations. I used fio to test...

Is it possible to somehow see the overall disk load, for example, how it is done in Vmware ESXi?

Problem: Currently, we're unable to get an overview in Proxmox about the virtual disk usage. You will only get the total disk size (200GB), on the VM overview page: Even... when going to the storage location and click on "VM DIsks", it will only give me the total size: Solution: When I'm...

Hello, i have a mini PC with mvne 128gb. Ah this moment i have proxmox Installed, a VM for Home Assistant, one lxc container with Maria DB, another VM with NextCloud. I want make upgrade with ssd disk 512gb. For mvne 128gb + ssd 512gb, what is the best setup for this software? Should have...

Hey there~! I'm very new to any kind of virtual environment and actually got the server I'm running proxmox VE on from a friend for free. I've been running like 2-3 VMS at a time and just decided to spin up an AD lab on it for pentest practice. While uploading the Kali iso I wanna use it...

Moin zusammen, ich habe aktuell folgendes Problem: ich hatte vor einiger Zeit eine VM erstellt mit einer VirtIO Block Disk, ich möchte nun SSD Emulation aktivieren und dementsprechend die Disk auf SCSI ändern. Doch die VM Startet dann nicht mehr, ich lande im Windows Boot Manager und soll die...

Several customers have asked us how to get the best possible storage latency out of Proxmox and QEMU (without sacrificing consistency or durability). Typically, the goal is to maximize database performance and improve benchmark results when moving from VMware to Proxmox. In these cases...

Hi All, I am new to Proxmox and need some help with how to attach or add all my usb external storage, in my case I use "ORICO-3559C3" with 5-bays HDD drive. My goal is to provide ZFS storage to the VMs in Proxmox (with TrueNAS-Scale), I have VM 100 with TrueNAS Scale 22.12 on My Baremetal...

Can I set the size of the local directory (pve-root) during the installation process? I want more than 100G to run all my VM

On my proxmox machine I got two SSD drives natively connected to it. First disk is for proxmox OS, the other I want to use in VMs. Basically, I want to use half of this second SSD drive in one VM, and other half in another, preferably with auto-adjusting sizes (in case one VM needs more than a...

Hi there, I am pretty new to proxmox and just finished setting up a Windows Server 2022 VM. It is running smoothly but I am noticing some behaviour that I can not explain: I have two ZFS pools, one ~1TB(Pool1 [local-zfs]) another one ~2TB(Pool2 [rpool_data], created on the Webinterface after...

Hello guys! After I discovered the option to migrate my HA from RPI to VM via Proxmox I was very happy and impatient to do it. So, I bought a recommended mini PC (Dell Optiplex 3050 -i7-6700T with 8GB RAM & 256 GB SSD) and I’m looking now to improve this hardware configuration in order to...

Hi, I've been recreating a bug in PBS. When it gets full, I need to manually delete chunks and erase datastore in order to free space, because when I delete some backups no space seems to be released. Garbage collection won't help either. I'm now testing with SDA and SDB instead of RAID 0, same...

Good morning, I want 2 new disk to my raid 1 ZFS rpool, do you know the procedure ? Best regards, Joseph
