For all the admins who looking for a detailed overview and a decision helper which PVE storage option to choose for their environment my one post here again the comparison table of the thread voting for zfs-over-iscsi feature...

Hello, I am trying to create a lxc via the 8.4 api. I created a apitoken on the root user with propagated permissions. Here is the content I am using to send to the api { vmid: 9011, hostname: 'harry', ostemplate: 'cephfs:vztmpl/debian13-custom-20251002-dev.tar.gz', storage...

I have 4 Lenovo SR650 V3 , with 25Gb networking In active / passive each of the servers have 10 NVME i believe 3tb each, 4 nodes are in a cluster, ive used CEPH storage and ZFSPOOL RAIDZ2 either local or Linbit linstor, doing FIO test getting anywhere from 30 MBs to 500Mbs on the best day...

Hello. I recently installed Proxmox on a new machine. The device is equipped with a 256GB SSD and a 4TB HDD, and I’ve confirmed that it’s detected in Proxmox. However, when I check Node > Summary, the HD Space shows only 67GB, which I assume is just the SSD being used. Do you know what might be...

Hello Experts, My Proxmox host has a 2 TB disk that reports 85% utilization, but the total data within my VMs adds up to much less. After reviewing each VM’s storage usage, I’m missing over 500 GB of space. From my research, I understand that enabling the “Discard” feature during VM creation...

!!! 1.Hint: This Thread is not for Ceph fan boys. Go away! !!!! Occasion: In the Thread zfs-over-iscsi HA Storage solution my one (the word "one" is always related to a human being, not a matter or person or number) mentioned that zfs-over-iscsi is not the best protocol stack for NVMEs. So the...

Hello, I installed Proxmox VE using two disks with ZFS RAID1 (mirror) for lab testing From my testing: If I unplug or fail disk 2, the system still works fine and Proxmox is accessible. But if I unplug or fail disk 1, the system will not boot and Proxmox becomes inaccessible, even though disk...

First, let me contextualize our set-up: We have a 3 node cluster, where we will be using CEPH for storage hyperconvergence. We are familiarizing ourselves with CEPH and would love to have someone more experienced chiming in: All of our storage hardware are SSDs. (24x 2TB NVMe, 8 per server)...

Hey everyone, I'd appreciate some advice on properly partitioning and configuring my Proxmox VM/CT & storage server. I want to make sure I'm following best practices before I start deploying VMs and containers. Here's what I'm working with: Hardware Setup: AMD 3950X with 64GB RAM...

I have an Ubuntu Server VM that I initially gave 64GB to but it has quickly outgrown it. The local-lvm that it's using for the VM disk has extra space on it so I'd like to expand the VM Disk and then somehow also expand the disk inside of the virtual machine itself. All without losing data, of...

I really tried to find an existing thread, but everything I find is either related to the main/boot pool, or adding an encrypted dataset only, so I figured I write down my steps for my own documentation and maybe it'll help someone else out too. This is for when you already have a PVE set up...

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 recently added an LVM thick storage to my PVE cluster which is a LUN shared between 4 of 5 nodes and everything works just fine except VM migration. I migrated VM from the 5th node which only has local storage to different node and shared LVM storage. Now I can't migrate it back. When...

Hello everyone, I am experiencing an issue with my ZFS pool usage reporting. My ZFS pool "Crucial" is showing 71.69% used (663.64 GB of 925.73 GB). However, this pool only hosts 3 virtual machine disks: VM100: 274.88 GB VM101: 90.19 GB VM102: 90.19 GB This gives a total of 455.26 GB, which is...

Hi, as i've stated in the title i'm having some problems which i can't really pinpoint on a specific server. The server has been off for around 10 days during summer vacations, and when i turned it back on one of the VMs didn't want to turn on. After a reboot, the incriminated vm booted without...

Target audience: Beginners There are no secret tips-n-tricks here, just basic knowledge. Precondition you have an intact PVE installation, be it a single computer or a cluster with several nodes; I am using the current 9.x release you have HDDs which may contain old data - that data will get...

Hi folks, I'm going to be building a new Epyc based server this week, and I have some questions concerning ZFS pools under Proxmox. Previously, I've done most ZFS related things with TrueNAS, first virtualized, and now bare-metal. I have two TrueNAS machines that handle all typical NAS duties...

Hi! I'm sorry for my English right away)) Please help me set up storage in my configuration, because I don't understand how to proceed correctly. I have a cluster of 3 PVE hosts. I also have an IBM Storwize external storage. On Storwize, I give 1 volume to the PVE hosts. Each PVE host is...
