raid

Hello! I just installed proxmox and ran my first 2 vms on a mini PC! On my old setup, I used an rpi with an SSD dock with a couple of SSDs set up in RAID5 (this is my live environment, i have backups). I was wondering if I could get some advice on what would be best way to use/pass the raid...

Recently, I acquired a Minisforum MS01 with the intention of running latest Proxmox VE 8. The MS01 supports RAID configurations in the BIOS, managed by Intel VMD. However, when I attempted to install the PVE system on the machine, I encountered an issue: PVE displayed the three individual disks...

Hi all, So I once had proxmox working fine on my workstation. But after a move the RAID controller seemed to of broke. After getting a new one, I want to re-install it. I have a server with a 6 x 4TB 7.2 SAS and 2 x 400GB SSD. These are connected to a Perc710 RAID controller (This has not been...

Hello everyone I was wondering what is the proper way to setup the hardware controller. We usually setup Proxmox on Dell servers with the PERC H755 Hardware Raid controller which can be configured with different read/write policies, Usually we configure our storage on raid 5 or raid 10 virtual...

So i'm doing a new Proxmox install and I'm trying to figure out how I should do it. I have 15 12 TB Hard Drives with a 64 core EPYC CPU and 1 TB of RAM. I've seen some people say for this I should run in a single Raidz3 that way I have 3 drives that could go out and be fine and at the same time...

I am thinking about what zfs configuration to use. I think RAIDz2 would be great because its 2 drives for tolerance, but some people were saying not to use it with more than 10 drives, do you think 12 drives would still be fine? Thank you!

I have a dl380p gen8 with a p420i controller in hba mode. 2 SSDs (OS) and 6 HDDs (DATA) are installed. I tried to install Proxmox on the two SSDs in RAID 1 (ZFS). I was able to select the two hard drives and started the installation, but I got the following error message: unable to create zfs...

Hi, Installed Proxmox with ZFS, choosing ZFS (RAID0) during installation with only 1 disk. I have two storage locations, local and local-zfs, both showing 2TB. Changes in one don't impact the used space of the other. For instance, downloading an ISO to local increases it by 3G, but local-zfs...

Hi, I have 3 dell servers and while purchasing I mentioned that we need RAID 1 on all 3 drives. While installing Proxmox it also asks for types of drive and raid levels. Do I need to mention raid level here?

So I'm trying to setup a backup solution for my server by using two 2tb hard drives and I want to use raid on them so that its mirrored onto each other. I can create a ZFS drive on them but I'm unable to assign them to be used for the directory, Is there a way to use the drives as storage for...

Main Proxmox server is a PowerEdge R730xd, which has a couple of sata and SAS drives connected to the PERC H730 mini integrated controller. I just updated the BIOS and iDRAC for no real reason other than staying up to date, suddenly the pair of (RAID0, help) SSDs that store a LVM-thin pool of...

Hello everyone, I have been thinking about fully encrypting my Proxmox 8 server which is located in an external data center. I would like to use Luks so that the encryption password is requested when booting which I can then enter via SSH. Now I have found the following instructions and have...

Hello, I am new to Proxmox. I want to install 8.0.2 on Supermicro whitebox server with Asrock motherboard, Ryzen 5 CPU and Supermicro NVMe RAID card AOC-SLG3-2SM2. When I try to install from ISO, it stuck on some error related to megaraid_sas driver. I am not sure what's wrong. Windows PE and...

Hi there- this is my first Proxmox install, so maybe one of you could give me some guidance or point me to a good resource concerning storage organisation. I researched it but did not come to a full conclusion yet: So I am about to get a decent server with at least 8x SAS/SATA in HBA mode (no...

Hi peeps, I want to setup a new Proxmox machine and I am looking at buying some refurbished HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 which sports a Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 RAID controller. I plan to use ZFS as base file system and read that the said controller takes the role of a HBA for all non-RAID...

Help. I was moving my server, and after I powered it on, it showed me the message (I attached the pic) I cannot do anything, I can't type, I can't ssh into it, nothing. It just shows this message, and that's it. It doen't allow me to write any command. I suppose one of my drives failed, but I...

Hello guys, i have a problem. I need to connect my PBS to a PVE. To do this I need to create a Pool Storage/Disk. However, when trying to create it, it doesn't give me the option to select the disk. Both in directory mode and ZFS mode. * PBS was installed as ZFS(RAID10) on installation setup *...

Assuming a setup where there is a separate boot disk or disks, and then ZFS storage pools for the actual VMs to live on, how much traffic, on a general basis, and especially write traffic, should be going to the root disk of a Proxmox server? We have two large, multi-core hypervisors with over...

I've been trying to access HDD that are added to the server using PCIe controller, but looks like proxmox isn't detecting it. I'd fresh installation again to another SSD to know if the OS kernels must have been issue for this and tried all methods as mention in running thread here...
