    Very bad iSCSI performance despite no config change

    Hello! I have a small cluster with my VMs living on LVM over iSCSI on a hp msa2050 SAN. I built it back in January and it was nice and quick - didn't even bother with multipath or any tuning because even with 10+ VMs running, it was fast enough. I left it running, doing nothing, until this...

    Does Proxmox need fast storage?

    Hi, I have a simple question which I would like to share with because I’m interested in you point of view. On a Proxmox server I have fast storage (SSDs or NVMe) and slow storage (SAS or SATA). My fast choice could be to install Proxmox on fast storage and use it also for storing virtual...

    Offline Migration extremely slow

    Hey, I noticed a huge issue. When I try to migrate a VM to a different node I get extremely slow transfer rates. This is unexpected since I use a dedicated Gigabit network for migration (which is unused except for migrations). Unsecure flag is set aswell. Have a look on this migration log...
