Hi everyone. I'm currently testing the Proxmox Backup Server to back up around 100TB of VM data. It's working quite well. I'd like to write the latest backup versions to tape once a week. The tape drive is located in a separate room. Our current solution involves a small workstation there that...

Bonjour, dans notre infrastructure, nous avons deux hôtes connectés à une baie de stockage DELL ME5024. La connexion s’effectue via iSCSI grâce à une carte Broadcom disposant de deux ports 25 Go. L’installation date d’un an et, jusqu’ici, nous n’avions rencontré que quelques petits soucis de...

Hi everyone, I am publishing BASTRIX SharedLVM, a free and open-source community storage plugin for Proxmox VE 9. The project provides two explicitly selectable allocation modes over an existing dedicated shared LVM volume_STA group: • Thin One LVM-thin pool per VM, providing...

Hi all, I'm running into an issue with a 6-node Proxmox cluster connected to a Dell PowerStore and an older Compellent 5020. We're about to add a second cluster of 4 hosts, and we don't have HA set up yet. While migrating VMs recently, a couple of our datastores got tight on space. To fix it...

Hi, I would like to request/suggest a new integrated PVE Storage plugin: "LVMthin over iscsi". It should work similiar as the zfs over iscsi plugin but instead of zpool/zvols it should use lvm thin pools / thin LVs some reasons: - zfs is superior in managing local disks where direct access is...

When will iSCSI be ready for use in PVE? Are there any plans for iSCSI and networking development in PVE? I see that PVE already has a 9.x release, and ISCSI is the biggest pain to describe it gently. I am the only person in the company who understands the iSCSI SAN concept with multi-pathing...

Hello Everyone, apart from the S3 object storage and internal storage media (with ext4/xfs or ZFS) mentioned in the PBS documentation, what types of storage are supported as backing storage for PBS datastores? Specifically, I am referring to network storage such as a Synology NAS...

Hallo liebe Community :), wir haben aktuell eine Situation, bei welcher die SCSI Disks innerhalb einer Windows VM (11 und 10), bei verhältnismäßigen kleinen Auslastungen, im Task Manager bei 100% sind, bzw. immer unverhältnismäßig hoch. (Bei ein paar wenigen MB/s oder KB/s geht das bereits auf...

Hello all. I am aware the issue of configuring LVM-Thin in a clustered environment with shared storage has been extensively discussed and why it is a really bad idea. However, l would like to ask this question from a different angle. When looking into our SAN storage configuration, there is an...

I have two hosts with Proxmox installed. I connected each server with two 10 Gbit iSCSI links to a Fujitsu ETERNUS storage system. On the storage, RAID 5 is configured with a single volume. I have set up a multipath connection and I am currently using LVM. Is LVM the only option? I tried...

I started a thread on the Proxmox reddit which quickly went down a rabbit hole and finally hit the bottom. https://www.reddit.com/r/Proxmox/comments/1sf3l9y/high_io_pressure_stall_during_os_install_iscsi/ TL;DR I am experiencing high IO pressure stalls peaking at 30% along with extremely long...

Hello all, Challenge is to connect PVE to a Dell Compellent and it is not presenting like any iSCSI I have seen recently. Unfortunately, all of its host ports are on the same broadcast domain, so I will also have to contend with that. Notice how all of the targets have the same IP (which is...

Hello Members I'm trying to set up iSCSI with multipath in a PVE cluster to a SAN. I want to achieve redundancy and load balancing. There are four paths to the SAN. However, multipath only uses two paths and creates only one priority group root@pve2:~# multipath -ll vmstorage1...

Hello all! I'm a developer with OSNEXUS. We’re excited to announce the pre-release version of the QuantaStor Proxmox Storage Plugin, designed to simplify the management of QuantaStor storage within Proxmox VE clusters. This plugin enables seamless creation and management of ZFS-over-iSCSI...

Hello - setting up a Proxmox 9.1 cluster to connect to a Dell PowerStore SAN. I could do iSCSI or FC but would prefer to do FC. I need to maintain the ability to do VM snapshots and would prefer to be able to do Proxmox HA (though not strictly necessary). Can this be accomplished by presenting...
