    HA won't migrate any VM's if all nodes are the same priority in a group

    Hello! My goal is to have HA configured in a way where when a node goes down, the VM's get migrated to any other node that is available. When I set all nodes as the same priority the VM's go into a frozen state and do not get migrated to another node. When I have a node with a higher priority...

    Ceph Database Deployment Geo-distribution & Latency Question

    I love Proxmox's ability to make it super easy to set up a three-node HA cluster with Ceph. I like to use it for my VMs and SQL databases that require a lot of IOPS. This way, if one of the nodes goes down, my SQL DB VM can be quickly redeployed to another node. That way, if one of the nodes...

    [SOLVED] [HA Cluster] Prevent hosting two VMs on the same node

    Hello, Recently I created my first 3 node proxmox cluster. And I started experimenting. I have two questions that bother me: I've created replication jobs every 2 hours for one VM. Now if I shutdown proxmox node manually on which VM is running let's say 15 minutes before next sync, will the...

    3 node cluster (1Gbit/s NICs for LAN and WAN)

    Hey everyone, after reading a lot and coming to the conclusion... Running a 2 node cluster productively with replicated storage (sync) is not feasible. I have the possibility to build a hardware setup with 3 nodes as follows, whereby these are really the *maximum* possible hardware capacities...

    HA setup

    Currently, I have 3 server setups and each server has 1 SDD for Ceph storage. If 2 out of 3 servers do not work the system is not operational for write. What will happen if I add one more server with 1SSD in the pool? Will my system can handle 2 server failure?

    HA Simulator Setup

    Hello, We're preparing to move to Proxmox from VMWare. As part of our high availability testing, I thought it would be a good idea to install and check out the HA Simulator. I've reviewed and followed he instructions in section 15.5 but am getting GTK errors. I had assumed the Proxmox PVE had...

    Number of disks on Ceph storage?

    Currently, I have 1 disk in each server(total 3) used for Ceph shared storage. I noticed that if 2 out of 3 disks are not working then complete ceph will also stop working. I am not sure if the same (n/2 +1) formula works here as well. Why It is concerning is because we are using CephFS as...

    Best practise sharing NFS to proxmox cluster?

    Hi, I have a small cluster with 3 nodes, configured for HA. Most of my data is on the same network as the cluster, on a Drobo connected with thunderbolt to a Mac, running Catalina. (Yeah, ewwww I know) I was planning on moving my services off the Mac to begin with, over to the cluster, and I...

    HA Cluster Replication Question

    Hello, I would like to set up a Proxmox HA cluster with 2 nodes. I can't use Ceph with only 2 nodes, so I wanted to try replication. With replication, you can set the container to be replicated every 15 minutes, for example. But then I asked myself a question: If my container is running on...

    High Availability + Replication = Disaster

    Hi, I've configured HA and replication, but when I actually reboot a server, the failover fails stating that the volume already exists at the target node. Some helpful info: I have 8x nodes my goal is to have replications every 15m when there's an event that causes a failover, either a quick...

    I was going through the HA shutdown policy. Can you explain the difference between Conditional and Failover? Is failover a subset of Conditional?

    [SOLVED] Proxmox local-lvm stops when 2 servers in a cluster of 3 dies?

    I have 3 servers in the cluster, each server has- 1. 2 HDD hard drive and hardware Raid 1 for local storage and os storage 2. 1 SSD for Ceph use for HA. I have 2 VMs in local-lvm(ext4) and 2 in Ceph storage. My Ceph HA is working fine, it only fails when 2 out of 3 servers die. However I...

    [SOLVED] What happens when one of the raided disks dies in a 3-server HA system?

    Indeed, Proxmox will not work when 2 out of 3 disks die in shared storage. My question is what happens when 2 disks in servers are RAID 1(shared storage) and one of the disks from two servers die? Will the Proxmox server use the raided disks or will it die?

    Increase HA cluster VM migration speed.

    I have built 3 Proxmox server HA-Ceph with separate management and HA network using a 10GB switch. While testing I found that it takes around 30-40 seconds for a VM to migrate from 1 server to another. How can I increase the migration/fencing speed also how to setup live migration I notices...

    [HA] Cluster Resource Scheduling - filling in the missing pieces (from the docs)

    I have read the docs on HA top to bottom and back to top: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/High_Availability I can't get my head around the resource scheduling, because: "The cluster resource scheduler (CRS) mode controls how HA selects nodes for the recovery of a service as well as for migrations...

    How to start with HA and replication in an existing environment - understanding concepts

    Hi guys i am using proxmox already for some while, but since i had only one physically node available for some time, i have always relied on the automated backup snapshotting. In case a container failed, i have recreated a backup. backups are stored in the cloud for extra security. Now i have...
