    Full Disk Copy Issue during Live Migration

    Hi all, I have previous experience with Hyper-V, and I'm now trying out Proxmox. I attempted a live migration from one server to another and noticed that the disk is fully copied. In Hyper-V, only the used blocks in the virtual disk are copied, whereas in Proxmox, if the virtual disk is 128GB...

    iSCSI Live Migration Nimble

    Hi Everyone, One of my major clients is considering PVE but I've run into the same snag as earlier this year. The organization has several HPE Nimble SANs and they aren't going away as far as I can tell. HPE Nimble is block storage only, so iSCSI is basically the one and only solution...

    [SOLVED] Live migration to directory should ask if I want to use raw or qcow2 images

    Hi, I am new to pve and pbs, so maybe I have not fully taken advantage of all the features available. I have 2 systems configured as a cluster. One server uses a thin provisioned LVM for VM disks and everything works fine. PBS can work with snapshot mode. The other server uses a directory for...

    LXD 4.20 supports live migration of LXC containers

    https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/lxd-4-20-has-been-released/12540 LXD now has live migration. Perhaps recently the CRIUgenic technology has advanced a bit and Proxmox can start looking into this as well?

    LXC - Virtualize PVE inside PVE

    Hi, We usually make KVM VMs. But for history reasons we still have some old containers. Openvz containers which were migrated to lxc since PVE4. Now with pve7 some LXCs refuse to start properly (mainly due to old systemd < 232). Also, LXC live migration is impossible. So I'm wondering if...

    VM live migration using lvm-thin with discard results in high I/O

    When doing a live VM migration (latest proxmox enterprise 7) from one server to another where both servers use local disks with lvm-thin (ext4 hardware SSD RAID-10), if the VM hard disk has "Discard" enabled, we find that the migration hammers the I/O of the target node until the first copy...

    Live migration network performance

    After a small network upgrade, I try to tune the performance for the live migration. With the secure migration mode I currently get 300-400 MiB/s. In the insecure migration mode, I get around 1,6 GiB/s. This is still half the speed I get with iperf on one parallel test transfer... Are there...

    Live Migration Failing

    I'm apologizing to the Proxmox admins first -- they were very quick to respond to my original post on this topic but I wasn't ready to do the testing they'd asked for. Now that I have the logs they've asked for, I'm hoping I can nudge a response. My forum post is below and I'd appreciate any...

    Live Migration and Versions

    We added a 6th node to our cluster and its version is one (or so) ahead of the rest. We hadn't live migrated anything in a bit, but live migrations are now failing (they've always been fine). We're wondering if, for live migrations to work between any two nodes in the cluster, if ALL the nodes...
