ssd

Hi, I have a simple question which I would like to share with because I’m interested in you point of view. On a Proxmox server I have fast storage (SSDs or NVMe) and slow storage (SAS or SATA). My fast choice could be to install Proxmox on fast storage and use it also for storing virtual...

Hi all, we have a production running cluster of 4 nodes version 5.4 with CEPH over SATA disks, 4 monitors, 1GB/s network cards. We have purchased 4 new servers, all with SSD's and 10GBe NIC's. As at least half of the containers and VM's on the existing SATA cluster will have to be migrated to...

Hey Guys! First of all huge thanks for the support. This forum is a great help with any issues I have encountered so far.. I need some guidance with storage setup in my proxmox node... Current setup: -4x2tb SAS hdd (RAIDZ2, holds roughly 1TB of data now) -100gb consumer grade ssd SSD holds...

Hi, i am new to Proxmox VE. I've put 4 x 1TB nearline SAS drives in a Dell Precision T5500 on a PERC H200 and installed the pve on them in RAID10. I feel them a little slow and want to accelerate them with PCIe SSD accelerator SUN F20. The Prox sees 4 x 24GB SSDs and i want to use 2 of them in...

Hi all, I would like to improve performance in my second pool 3x1TB HDD RAIDz1,I want to lower I/O delay its not high but I was reading also that there shouldn't be any I/O delay, (first pool where is Proxmox I have 2xSSD in RAIDz) by adding SSD drive as cache. I found already on Google some...

Am excited about learning and using ProxMox with ZFS and to this end recently bought a DELL PowerEdge R710 with 96GB Ram, 6x1TB Drives (Hitachi Ultrastar HUA721010KLA330), 1xDVD drive, a pass-through HBA controller for ZFS, and an iDRAC6 Enterprise Mgmt module. I've updated the R710 to latest...

Hello! we have 2 servers with local ZFS pools. The pools are configured with the same type of disks. They have 3 x 120GB SSD and 4 x 4TB HDD. I set the 3 SSD as a physical RAID 5, there runs Proxmox on one partition and ZFS logs and cache on 2 other partitions. Then, with the 4 HDD I set up a...

Hi all, I'm hoping I can get some insightful input from this community. I'm looking at building out a new Proxmox cluster with Ceph as the backend. I'd like to get a couple of answers to see if this makes sense and if not where I should make changes. http://bit.ly/2XvgrXa Its a 2U 4 Node...

Hi guys, Need help to get best performance for my server. - DELL PowerEdge R820 - CPU : 4 x 2.60Ghz E5-4650L Xeon Eight Core - RAM : 12 x 16GB PC3L-10600, [192GB Total] - HDD : 8 x 960GB SSD SATA 2.5" 6GB/s (Samsung PM853T) - RAID : PERC H710 (I ordered a H310 since H710 doesn't support HBA or...

We're planning on using a few Intel NUCs in lab conditions with Proxmox. They take a single M.2 NVME device. What would be the best filesystem to use in this case? Also if ZFS would a RAID1 or RAID0 array be the correct option?

We're evaluating Proxmox in our lab and have two setups - both running 5.3: 1. Xeon Storage: ZFS (10x 3TB SAS + 100GB ZIL SSD) 2. i7-7700K Storage: ext4 LVM (1x 1TB SATA SSD) Running the following sysbench commands inside identical LXCs to evaluate storage performance: sysbench...

Hello! I would like to ask for some advice here what type of installation and configuration setup do you guys recommend for this 2 systems: 1. System 2xE5-2670V2 64GB RAM 1x1TB NVME SSD and 1x128GB SATA SSD for Proxmox 2. System 2xE5-2696V2 128GB RAM 2x1TB NVME SSD and 1x128GB SATA SSD for...

Hallo zusammen, ich teste gerade eine Konfiguration mit Proxmox VE 5.3-8 und habe ein Problen mit zwei NVME SSDs. Die Grundinstallation hängt an zwei SATA SSD Platten auf denen ich zuerst die virtuellen Maschinen getestet habe. Hierbei gibt es auch keine Probleme - jetzt wollte ich noch zwei...

Hi there. I'm doing some maintenance on a desktop based 'server' used as SQL database host for ca 5 LAN users. It was running bios-software RAID1 on 2x Samsung EVO 250GB SATA SSD's. I know that those are NOT server grade but what can you do :/ 3rd drive is a regular 3,5" 1TB SATA for backups...

Just ran these the other week, thought I'd share. I'll try to do some more proper ones on Linux, but before that happens here's some CrystalDiskMark ones on Windows 2019 (virtio-scsi). The underlying storage is a single Samsung 850 PRO SSD. I was pleasantly surprised by the QCOW2 performance...

We want to run backup of CephFS with erasure coded backed pool at k=10 m=2, but we couldn't get this to mount on our proxmox ve 5.3 Also, being able to create EC RBD pools would be great where we are running with k=2 m=1, which has faster reads at low disk cost than replica=3

Hallo zusammen, ich wollte mir demnächst einen neuen Proxmox Server auf AMD Ryzen bauen. Bis dahin wollte ich aber meinen jetzigen mit einer SSD ausstatten - aktuell PVE + VMs nur auf einer WD Red 2TB, reicht für meine Basteleien aus, wollte aber mal um zu sehen wie es mit der Performance...

Hello I have installed Proxmox VE on a group of SSD disks raid-0. My problem is that while copying a file to a VM, then deleting it, it won't reclaim disk space on local-zfs. However, while running "df -h" in VM command line, it shows amount of space less than real space in local-zfs.

I had a Raid 10 ZFS pool over 4 HDD with a SSD cache, and I thought "I wish I had known about ZFS sooner". So I put together a Raid 10 ZFS pool over 4 SSD (and later added a SSD cache), and am thinking to myself, what did I miss? I have compression on. These numbers are worse than the...

It should be possible to set a virtual disk drive to be backed by an SSD/Flash device. Virtio SCSI with SCSI, VirtIO and SATA drives should support this. Virtual box supports this since 2014, when can we expect this to happen in PVE? According to the upstream sources this should be possible...
