    Online / Live Migration with ZFS-Replicated local VMs?

    Hi There, Is there a technical reason why Online / Live Migration of VMs that are replicated across local disks (from Node 1 local-zfs to Node 2 local-zfs) does not currently seem to be permitted? If this is not currently permitted / available, is it planned to be made available in Proxmox 6...

    Feature request: VM migration (restart mode)

    In a replicated ZFS environment, containers can be easily migrated from one node to another, as the only supported migration mode of a running container is restart mode. It works quick and reliably if replication happends e.g. hourly or more often. For VMs, the system does not allow to select...

    SSH between nodes and replication

    Hello everyone, I'm currently moving my virtual machine infrastructure from VMWare to Proxmox and have noticed a few things that seemed odd (at least to a beginner). Firstly, I've been able to ssh between the nodes in my cluster without entering the password (for example, I'm logged in as root...

Below are the syslogs immedietely before and after the last reset. Notice the "^@^@^@^@" which I would guess is where something (watchdog?) reset...

    ZFS snapshots and replication: Sufficient as backup?

    Hi all, We are currently running a PVE cluster with multiple machines and serve about 15 LXC containers and 10 VMs. We are using PVE replication (every 15min) to onsite PVE machines and znapzend to create hourly snapshots that are also replicated off site. This should protect us against a...

    ZFS Quota vs. Refquota

    Currently Proxmox VE only enables us to set QUOTA (space used including snapshots), but in many setups it also makes sense to set REFQUOTA (space used excluding snapshots). I have deployed znapzend for automatic ZFS snapshoting and replication, but these automatic snapshots are eating up...

    [SOLVED] FSTrim and Discard needed on ZFS?

    Hello! We have a couple of servers configured to use local ZFS pools for storage. These pools have Thin Provisioning enabled. I used to think that Thin Provisioning + ZFS was enough to have the VMs use on physical storage the same space that they are using into themselves, but it seems I was...

    Kombination CEPH und Replication

    Moin werte Kollegen, unser Cluster speichert mit CEPH, zeitgleich möchte ich in ein "Notfalldatacenter" alle VMs replizieren (15min, 1h, 3h Takt) um Worstcases abzufedern. Das Datacenter steht abseits der Firmeneinrichtungen aber im Aktionsbereich der LKW. Es wäre nicht vollkommen an den Haaren...

    Replication of VM and data consistency (ZFS)

    Hi guys, I'm wondering how the data from a running VM replicated with consistence to another storage as I would expect some sort of guest interaction to trigger VSS for example to ensure there is no missing data due to writes being cached at the time the replication runs. I'm trying to compare...

    [SOLVED] ZFS replica ~2x larger than original

    On my setup, a VM that takes 9.86T of ZFS pool on active host, grows to 19.6T when replicated to one of the other hosts. On yet another host, it takes 9.86T as expected. Every one of them has ZFS "copies=1" enabled. Data is already compressed (it's a nested zpool inside a zvol). The only thing...

    Replication and Snapshots.

    Hello to all. I have used Proxmox since 3.4. the advances in the platform are definitely exciting to see! We are using zrep to sync zfs volumes to a non cluster machine at this time. Thanks to Brown @ bolthole for his code. It works well. However I have a hankering to use the cluster features to...

    Data replication : which Nics to choose

    Hi there, Consider a 3 node setup with each node having 2x 10GB & 6x 1GB Nic. Is it more interesting to speedup replication between the nodes using 10GB interconnects and have the VM's communicate on 1GB (scenario 1) or is it more interesting to speed up VM <—> desktop access (scenario 2) My...
