Dear community, i have HP dl360p gen8 server with 8x600gb sas 10k hdds. Can you please recomend me raid setup for best/optimal preformance of proxmox. and if possible to have 1 disk in spare. TY

Hey! I've accidentally installed my Proxmox on ZFS Raid 0, but I need redundancy. To rescue this without reinstalling, I thought of adding another pair of Raid-0 SSD's to the system and Raid-1 those Raid0's. Is this the way of doing? And could someone pls tell the exact ZFS commands to do this...

Hi all, Maybe Stratis could be a future storage solution for Proxmox. The solution combines the best parts from ZFS and BTRFS but doing it using existing kernel tools. DM and XFS. Article series: 1) overview: https://opensource.com/article/18/4/stratis-easy-use-local-storage-management-linux...

Hi there, I'm using Proxmox 5.1 with a LSI 4-port Raid Controller and of course I can check via cli with megacli how my RAID is doing. However, I need a solution that notifies me right away when a drive fails or SMART values turn bad. Do you have an idea how this is implemented the best way...

Keep at my hands nice modern server with 4 SSDs on board, I still can't find the better way to utilize it. I can use built-in h/w RAID controller (LSI card, with cache and BBU, not sure for model) and build, say, RAID10 out of these disks. Or I can export these disks as 4 independent volumes...

Hi, I will install with RAID. But i coudn't decide. Server configuration is, 2* Xeon E5-2620v4 CPU 64GB (16GB*4 ) DDR4 / 2400 RAM ------- I'm not sure about the choice of disks and RAID Which would be more logical to use? 4* 480GB SSD or 2* 960GB SSD or Would it be your other suggestion? I...

What would you choose for proxmox, and maybe a brief explanation of why: 1. Two consumer grade SSDs WD Blue 1TB in a zfs raid1 2. One enterprise grade SSD Samsung PM863a 960GB in ext4 I know it may be easy to say two enterprise grade SSDs or some other better config, sure but if you obsoletely...

Since the PVE 5.0 upgrade I've occasionally been getting the dreaded 'aacraid: Outstanding commands on (x,x,x,x);' errors that have been crashing my server. I've looked through every thread relating to the issue I can find, and most prove to be useless info about 'updating drivers', which I...

Hello I know that the better way to use ZFS is with no HW RAID, but I have an C6220 with lsi 9265 raid card. It's a bit difficult to flash it to get IT-MODE so I have build and RAID10 (with 6 SSD kingston DC) and install proxmox in ZFS 0 over the virtual disk. I was creating the nagio RAID...

Hello community :) I currently plan on using proxmox to build my new virtualization environment. Before I actually rent the server for my project, I want to ask you about the storage possibilities I've got. What I'll order: 4x 480GB DC SSD So question is: What's the best way to build this...

I'm setting up a new server with proxmox 5, I ran some tests on a older machine and finally got my new one today. I'm using an IBM Thinksystem SR550 It has 2 raid controllers, 1. M.2 riser kit on motherboard (2x 32Gb Raid 1) 2. Thinksystem raid 930-8i 2Gb cache (shows up in lspci as: LSI...

I haven't yet tried a 5.0 installation, but I was wondering if the PVE installer allows creation of Linux software RAID and then installation of PVE on that RAID? On 4.x, I had to do a manual install of generic Debian first, then (hard to remember, it has been a few years ago) do something else...

I have a Dell R710 with the following drive configuration. CacheCade and RAID arrays are setup on a H700. 2x 120Gb Kingston SSD (CacheCade) 2x 146Gb Seagate SAS (RAID 1) 4x 600Gb Western Digital SAS (RAID 10) I would like to have Proxmox on the RAID 1 array and use the RAID 10 array for VM...

Hi, I have IBM 3550 M3 server with M5015 RAID Controller and 8 SSD Disks this raid not support JBOD now, it's possible and stable to create 8 spans of raid0 and ZFS over it or should I give up the ZFS and use RAID10 on Hardware level? Thanks!

Hi, most of our servers have 6-8 SSD Hard drives with RAID Controller that include 1GB-2GB Cache now, the question is what is the recommended configuration for Proxmox 5 focus on Availability and best performance: 1. Hardware RAID 10? 2. ZFS with RAID10? 3. Hardware RAID1 with ZFS Raid0? 4...

Hallo, ich werde Proxmox 5 auf einem neuen Server installieren. Die Büchse hat neben einer SSD für das OS einen LSI Megaraid Controller mit 4x4TB Platten daran. Was ist die aktuelle Empfehlung für die Konfiguration? Sollte ich ein RAID 5 oder 10 am Controller einrichten, oder die Platten als...

So after discovering that Samsung Evo is terrible for a raid setup. I have been on the lookout for real ent SSDs. Which ones is recommended? This is for a homelab Going to run RAID1 on a HP P440 I have my eyes on one of these 2 atm. Would it be a good choice and deal? HGST S842 S842E400M2...

Hi I'm going to set up a single machine used for VM's soon. I think i have all the hardware figured out except for the hard-drives which i would like some recommendations for. As this is going to be a quite simple setup i would prefer local storage - easier and cheaper. My initial plan was...

Hello, I am currently trying to create a VM/CT in proxmox, however I get the following error during machine creation: TASK ERROR: no such volume group 'pve' Upon some checking, I noticed that the Local-lvm has no Space at all allocated to it. When I installed this instance, I setup a SW raid...

Hey all, Im trying to install a new server with PVE4.3 with a ZFS RAID 1 configuration but it always results into a "unable to create zfs root pool" while a standard ext4 install works just fine. Hardware: 2x Samsung SM961 1TB Error: GPT data structures destroyed! You may now partition the...
