    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...

    Problem with replication: zfs allow

    Greetings I'm trying to run a replication between two nodes and get this weird error: 2018-12-28 17:17:01 141-0: start replication job 2018-12-28 17:17:01 141-0: guest => VM 141, running => 10901 2018-12-28 17:17:01 141-0: volumes => ct_A:vm-141-disk-1,ct_A:vm-141-state-After_install...

    [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...

    Bringt HA irgendwas bei fehlendem shared Storage?

    Hallo zusammen, ich stelle mir die Frage ob bei 3 Nodes im Cluster, aber fehlendem Shared Storage, die HA option irgendwas bringt? Ich kann ja durch die Replication z.b. ein minimales "failover" threoretisch machen? Also alle 2min Replication wäre für meinen Anwendungsfall "ok" Daher meine...

    Avoid locking in a 2 node cluster environment when 1 node is down.

    We have a solution with 2 nodes in a cluster. We won't use HA, we only want to use the replication feature, just to copy VM's to each other to make our solution redundant in a way. We used this also in our old Hyper-V environment, but in Hyper-V we didn't need to setup a cluster. I was just...

    Does Replication + Mirroring makes sense?

    Hi all! Thanks for this amazing project. I have been "studying" Proxmox for one or two months and I quite like it. I have been wondering about storage replication and disk mirroring for a setup. Does it make sense to have mirrored disks AND do storage replication on top of it. For...
