snapshot

Hello, we have a problem where when we try to retrieve updates from the enterprise repository of Proxmox with a snapshot, we only have 3 files : Release, InRelease and Release.gpg We have the Community subscription so we should be able to retrieve updates from the Enterprise Repository if i'm...

Hallo zusammen, ich würde gerne ein Proxmox Cluster mit einem IBM Flashsystem via FC bereitstellen. Da werden dann thick-LVM Volumes provisioniert damit wir die Volumes in Proxmox auf alle Server teilen können für unseren HA. Bei der Einrichtung mit Multipath und so ist auch alles klar, da habe...

Hi, I've created a 3 node Proxmox cluster to test, and presented a Fibre Channel Lun. I've then created a LVM group on top as per https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Multipath I then imported a VM, and it's done raw format on the lvm storage group. I couldn't create a snapshot, so I reimported the...

We're running the latest PVE version 9.1 and our VM workloads reside on Ceph RBD. I would prefer that our software development staff, which frequently use VM snapshots, avoid "Include RAM" with snapshots. They are costly on storage and they rarely need this anyway. Is there any way to change...

I'm using shared storage backed by NFS with VMs using qcow2 and I'm hitting wall trying to track the size of a given snapshot. Using qemu-img I can see the snapshot but the VM_SIZE all show as 0B. I can definitely see the size of the disk growing from my tests ( writing mutliple 1GB files from...

We are currently having an issue where we provisioned 1x Storage LUN via FC to 4x Servers.We mounted the server on 1 of the server as LVM and we realize we are not able to perform snapshot.Understanding from https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage that LVM are able to perform snapshot with...

Hey everyone, A few recent developments prompted us to examine QCOW2’s behavior and reliability characteristics more closely: 1. Community feedback There are various community discussions questioning the reliability of QCOW2. We have customers (predating our native integration) interested in...

Hi! Searching the forum, I found a few similar threads, and the statement that backups do not support snapshots. And this is OK. However, when I recently tried to make a backup of a VM with snapshots, and then tried to restore it from this backup - it removed the already existing VM snapshots...

Occasion: Like my one mentioned in the zfs boot thread my intention was to use BTRFS as root filesystem because the resource finger print is smaller and BTRFS is mostly faster than ZFS (Source: actual phronix performance test). While my testing time for this thread some negative experiences with...

Good afternoon, everyone! I’m facing an issue with Proxmox. I have an HPE MSA 1050 SAN configured for HA, and I’m not able to create snapshots of the VMs stored on this disk. OBS*: From what I’ve read in some documents and forum threads, it seems that LVM does not support snapshots. Is there...

Hi. I've updated some of PVEs to version 9 to test the new snapshot support for LVM thick storage. I've created the LVM storage which is shared among nodes in cluster, checked "Allow Snapshots as Volume-Chain" during storage creation, moved some VMs there and when I go to VM -> Snaphosts it...

Hi Everyone, I'm excited to share a deep dive into one of the notable new feature in PVE9: the enhanced snapshot functionality designed for legacy SANs. This feature represents a meaningful step forward in expanding PVE's compatibility with traditional enterprise storage setups, something many...

Hi, We thought about something that could be usefull for anybody : snapshot expiration date. When you take a snapshot, we could have an option with a tick box, then you set a date or a duration after which the snapshot is deleted automatically by the hypervisor. If I talk about our case : when...

Hi I am conducting some testing of storage-based snapshots using Proxmox with NFS. Proxmox version: 8.4.1. While copying back a storage snapshot of a qcow2 image file to an existing VM (while in shutdown state) I can see different VM snapshot inventories depending on tools being used. The...

In Proxmox 8.4, the Esxi storage type appeared. But this type is not mentioned in the documentation: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pvesm.html Could you please tell me which values have Esxi for `Level`, `Shared`, and `Snapshots`?

Hello, We have set up a SAS storage array with two Dell nodes and configured multipath, but I can only mount the volume using LVM in a shared mode within the cluster. The issue I’m facing is that I’m unable to create snapshots on this shared volume, and backups have to be performed in a...

Hello, I have a backup job running every day backing up my VMs using snapshot mode. Everything is running ok but sometimes one specific VM freezes (I have 4 VMs running but it happens only with one of them). At the exact time of the backup the VM stop responding (even from the console) and I can...

Ich entschuldige mich schon Mal im Voraus: ich bin nicht Forumserfahren, habe mir meine Linux (Univention, Debian, Ubuntu) Erfahrung selber angeeignet, und bin gerade auf dem Weg selbiges mit Proxmox zu tun. Ich möchte in meinem kleinen Betrieb (ca. 10 Mitarbeiter) gerne folgendes Szenario...
