storage

Hello everyone, I’m about to rent a dedicated server to host Proxmox VE and deploy several critical company applications. Since performance is key, I want to make sure I choose the best possible storage setup. I have two possible configurations in mind, assuming NVMe SSDs are significantly...

HI guys and gals I am setting up 2 proxmox servers the 1st server has 5x10TB of hard drives and an m.2 (2TB) and the second server has 2x m.2 (2Tb each) plus a 240GB SATA SSD i was wondering what is the most efficnet way to use the sotrage for VM's should i virtualise truenas and share via...

Hey all, Action Taken: - Cluster Created - 2x VM's Migrated To New Host Issue: - Disk storage totals don't seem to add up (pretty sure I'm just reading this incorrectly?) Host disk is 240 GB so this thing should be over capacity?

I previously added a storage share to Proxmox with the address \\172.16.1.254\zpool0_share. Then I deleted it and replaced it with another storage share. However, I encountered the error: I checked /etc/pve/storage.cfg to make sure, and the share was no longer listed in the configuration...

I have a VM in a HA group. Its primary disk is replicated to the other nodes, and the VM is able to migrate between nodes. I need to add a scratch/temp disk to the VM for intermediate writes. This disk doesn't need to be replicated if the VM migrates to a new node; a disk simply needs to exist...

Hello, I'm a bit of a noob in the proxmox world, I've dived into it quite recently, I'm trying to wrap my head (and having a hard time with everything new) about the optimal architecture for my selfhosted home setup. My (foolish?) objective would be to have a proxmox cluster that would allow me...

Hello, I am writing this thread to ask some questions about my backup system in my Home Lab: First of all, I have a Mini PC with Proxmox VE running, an LXC container with PBS installed with Helper Scripts. I also have an old Synology DS215j NAS used for backups. Following the instructions in...

I'm new to proxmox, and new to enterprise hypervisors in general. Running 8.3.2 I'm hoping this is a very basic question, and I've just somehow missed the answer in the documentation. We have dedicated SAN units that share out storage. I can see, and use the assigned LUN from the SAN in...

Hi, new Korean newbie is here. It's just a question, could I add physical storage as 1 node in cluster? I think, as far as I know, it's impossible because clustering requires pve os. It's a shame, but I've been working as a hardware engineer for less than a year. I hope anyone tell me truth. Thx.

Hi, I'm trying to make a shell function get_iso_paths() which would return every path to every storage id of type dir which has content type iso I found that I can get the storage id of type dir with content type iso with pvesm status --content iso Example root@proxmox:~# pvesm status...

Hi In my setup we decided to change connection to remote storage from FibreChannel to RoCE. All the time, this is the same remote storage source (the same storage array) but used different underlaying storage technology. The array is made by Huawei. Since that change during higher network...

Hi I'm new with Proxmox virtual environment trying to backup to an SMB-Share which is on a machine in a different LAN. When I connect to the SMB-share using my Mac or Windows-Laptop, everything works fine So I don't think it is a firewall issue outside of Proxmox. There are no firewall rules in...

Hello everyone, As a newcomer to this forum, I have a query regarding a particular Proxmox installation setup. I've exclusively worked with VMware and this configuration is quite common in that environment. I have a setup consisting of 2 server nodes and a dedicated storage device. Typically...

I have a new installation of Proxmox VE 8.3.3 and am using two external Drives for VM storage and backups etc. When I create a new VM, I start by highlighting the storage device I want PM to use when creating this machine. I make sure that the storage device I want to use is picked in the...

I mounted a directory from Proxmox on multiple LXC containers. This might not be the proper way to share common storage, but it’s the only method I managed to get working. The issue is that the 100 GiB allocated to the local storage is now almost full, and I can’t figure out how to add more...

Good morning. I have a DL360G11 server with FC boards I also have a Nimble with FC and 2 controllers. I'm not going to form a cluster in Proxmox, I'm just going to use a node called SRVPVE01. Can I present the LUN to the SRVPVE01 node, configure the multipath, and on that LUN, create a LVM-Thin...

On a Hardware RAID configured system, we are having a hard time creating LVM2 groups on the RAID controlled drives. Whenever the hardware undergoes a physical power cycle, any LVM2 groups created on these drives are lost and cannot be recovered. Commands like `pvscan`, `lvscan`, or `lgscan`...

Hello, I am in the process of migrating some LXC containers from one host to another where I have different types of storage. The source host where the container is located has ZFS storage and the destination host has XFS (LVM). How should I proceed? I have tried to make a copy of the...

I have a cluster of around 15 nodes. Today i successfully upgraded pbs from 3.0 to 3.3.2. (reboot and full test of backup\restore worked ) Then i Tried to upgrade a single node (from the GUI). all went normal and system worked after upgrade. i Initiated a reboot, to make sure everything...
