    DR Replication to a cloud based provider

    Hi, Has anyone successfully managed to replicate a Proxmox VE to a Cloud-based provider? The use case would be to have Proxmox running locally with the remote site being a DR site. The RTO / RPO are < 5 hours. The server hosts MS SQL Server and the amount of traffic is relativly low. I would...

    Limit the max number of VMs per host in HA environment

    TL ; DR - I don't care which host the High Availability VMs move to, as long as it doesn't exceed 4 VMs per host. Can this be done? Full Story - I am planning out a 4 host cluster (and 1 QDevice) of PVE with HA active using CEPH Storage and plan to run 8 Windows Server VMs across all hosts. I...

    Node aus bevor Migration zu Ende

    Hallo Zusammen, Im Proxmox Cluster ist eingestellt dass VMs über HA migrieren sollen, wenn ein Knoten down ist. Dies hat allerdings bei einer Node mit vielen VMs zu einem unerwarteten Verhalten geführt. Die Migration ging sehr lange, und bei ca. 50-75% migrierten VMs ist der Knoten einfach...

    HA and poweroff inside VM

    When a VM is protected by HA and a poweroff runs inside the VM the VM is happily started again by the HA manager. Is it possible to tell the HA manager from within the VM (via qemu-guest-agent maybe) that the VM should stay powered off?

    HA for Proxmox Cluster management portal

    I was wondering what would be the best course of action to setup HA for the Proxmox web portal? I am currently usin HAProxy but I noticed that when I go into a console of one of the VMs, it does not use the same server that I am on (connection is probably not sticky). I was thinking a better...

    HA & last_man_standing + wait_for_all

    It's nowhere in the PVE official docs, but corosync does support last_man_standing and when used with HA it is suggested to also set wait_for_all. I found some previous threads, but not in relation to HA. Now I understand the official PVE endorsed way would be to just use a qdevice, but this...

    What is wrong with High Availability?

    Test scenario, 3 nodes - pve{3,4,5} - default PVE install (LVM, so no ZFS), 1 container set as HA, started on pve3. Figured out replication not possible without ZFS, alright, never mind, pve3 went down, HA attempted to restart CT on pve4, no volume available, still understood. Now when pve3...

    Moving virtual HDD only to another node?

    Hi everyone, I was adding another node to my cluster today (node 4), and during the process, node 1 decided to crash. This triggered the HA, and it began spinning the VM up on node 2. The HA migration failed, and the hard disk was never moved. On node 2, I see the VM and the config; and on node...
