    correct way to pause ZFS over iSCSI connections

    HI, I need to replace a switch in one of our datacenters, that is used by a couple of PVE nodes for almost anything (corosync, ZFS over iSCSI, node to node traffic for VMs etc.). The replacement shouldn't take long, but still it may take a minute or so. For all the traffic except ZFS over...

    [SOLVED] Start/Destroy: "Cannot activate LVs in VG while PVs appear on duplicate devices."

    This is the same error that I posted here. However, the resolutions in that thread are not working. I've narrowed down the problem as a multipath issue, but I'm creating a new thread because this situation seems to be unique. Node A and B were clustered and are running v6.4-13 and are identical...

    I mounted my synology nas via iSCSI and created a LVM on it and made it avaiable to my 3 nodes. One of those nodes is unused and is just there for quorum. On that node that runs no VMs I see really high transfer from my NAS to that proxmox instance (45MB/s continuously). Even after I remove...

    Shared Storage - best way to connect to Proxmox?

    Our current Proxmox cluster is connected to a single TrueNas Core Server. Most of the VMs are stored on a NFS-share, as this seemed to be an easy and usable solution at the time of installation.
