    Slow disk migration from iSCSI (FlashME5) to CephStorage

    Hi, I’m experiencing very slow disk migration in my Proxmox cluster when moving a VM disk from FlashME5 (iSCSI multipath + LVM) to CephStorage (RBD). Migration from Ceph → FlashME5 is fast (~500–700 MB/s), but in reverse (FlashME5 → Ceph) I only get ~200 MB/s or less. Environment: Proxmox 8.x...

    [SOLVED] Migrating from Hyper-V to Proxmox disk and skill issues

    Using pmg to hold mail during server migration?

    Hello! We're about to move mail from one 365 tenancy to another and we'd like to minimise downtime and NDRs. I was hoping to have mail delivered to pmg which would then hold it until we can release it, pointed at the new location. I'm sure I've done this before but I don't remember how - maybe...

    Storage space issues after moving my virtual machine disks

    I moved my virtual machine disks from one volume to another on the same Proxmox server. After moving them, I deleted the original disks, which were listed as unused, but the storage space occupied during the migration process hasn't been freed up. What could be the cause? I've also checked for...

    I have a few virtual machines currently on ESXi that I need to move to my Proxmox server. These VMs are large, having multiple virtual disks, some of which are 2TB. The migration tool seems to be capped at 1Gbps, so migrating with the migration tool isn' really possible without incurring...

    HA, one nodte failure, vm reaction

    Hello, I have a Proxmox cluster built with 4 servers and HA configured. Now, a question that might sound silly: In the event of one server failing, all virtual machines are migrated to another server in line with the policy, which is obvious. However, will these virtual machines shouldbe...
