Are there plans for native FibreChannel support and an alternative to vmfs? I think this is a crucial factor for many enterprise customers.
In my opinion, Proxmox needs to completely reorient itself in the storage area in order to take off in the enterprise environment. Many customers are...
I am on a path to migrate 15x ESXi servers (With vcenter / Distributed networking / cluster) and 200TB FC SSD SAN, with Proxmox virtualization. I am facing lots of challenges with the lack of a "good filesystem" like VMFS.
I have my first 2 PVE servers up running with Multipath, and LVM in...
I have a new cluster, one node - 4TB drive, default install. One VM, with 32G of storage.
Question 1: Where, really, is the 32G of data?
Based on https://opensource.com/business/16/9/linux-users-guide-lvm, I think it's...
4TB drive -> GPT layout -> 3rd partition -> LVM -> default 'pve' volume...
Hi guys,
I really like Proxmox and I kind of convinced my employer to move from RHEV to Proxmox. So now here I am in the middle of the configuration. So far everything went well and was simple to setup except of the storage configuration.
Environment:
We have two datacenters which are...
Hi
I've brought Minisforum MS-01 and have been running proxmox from last 4 months on a single Samsung 3.84TB PM9A3 U.2 SSD drive stably.
Now, I've brought 2 more Samsung 3.84TB NVME SSD PM983.
The device has 3 slots
1. U.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 (max 8 GB/s) used by PM9A3 U.2 SSD (7 Gbsps)
2. M.2 PCIe...
I've installed a NAND NVMe drive in a USB case and I'm encountering issues with SMART monitoring in Proxmox. I'm receiving emails from Proxmox due to this issue. The strangest part is that I can execute smartctl on the drive only after I click on the "Disks" section in the PVE GUI. Otherwise, it...
I'm trying to reproduce a configuration in my ESX environment. Essentially I deploy a service/app VM which is immutable and mount/bind a mutable storage volume. Deploying upgrades is as simple as creating V2 of the VM, binding/mounting the storage volume and then stopping the old VM and starting...
Hi Proxmox Community,
I'm currently setting up a Proxmox environment and could use some guidance regarding the optimal sizes for VM boot drives and the best practices for creating a SWAP partition. Here is the breakdown of my planned setup:
Storage Setup:
6x p1600x/118GB drives in RAID10...
Hello,
New to ProxMox here and I have quick question.
Would it not be ideal to attach the existing datastore used by VMware to Proxmox for easy storage migration, would simply need to import the VM into the ProxMox cluster for processing.
Example:

Hello. I just completed my Proxmox + OPNsense installation (everything works fine now but of course I need to do some more work and research) but I have got (maybe) a very dumb question.
In my Proxmox I have a LVM-thin storage where my virtual machine is stored. It's fine. And now let's say...
Good morning everybody.
I planned the following scenario and would like to know if anyone here has set up something similar or if something in the services has any limitations.
I will have two OmniOS servers, with ZFS and using COMSTAR for iscsi.
The two storage servers have several Intel...
Hello, I've recently re-created my proxmox setup (I'm kinda noob on this) following guides.
I've partioned my disk during the installation (ssd 500G) in order to have free space as VM storage.
How can I use this free space? I've look around and find that I should use fdisk but when I do it says...
I have a couple Dell Poweredge R240 servers and I want to install Proxmox on these. Each currently has a Dell 960 GB balanced read/write Enterprise SSD. There are 3 free 3.5" drive bays - 4 total per server.
I can buy a bunch of 3TB enterprise drives for cheap and create a ZFS pool with 1 drive...
Hi there,
I'm testing a small Proxmox cluster with 2 nodes (+1 qdevice for quorum) and I'm trying to decide on which would be the best option for storage.
I have access to iSCSI fibre storage, which will be shared between the two nodes. I already know how to configure LVM and the ABC of Linux...
Storage noob here. I am building a new single node proxmox server on a 2U server that has 9 3.5in 4TB HDDs and 6 2.5in 800GB SSDs beyond what is used for Proxmox's boot image. The server will be running a mix of stateful container workloads, databases for stateless containers, and VMs for...
Hi all,
I've been wrangling with how to setup storage on my two node cluster for a while. The main node has two 4tb SSD drives (currently btrfs raid1) that I can't pass through to a VM since they are on the same bus as one of the tow 1tb SSDs (btrfs raid1) used for Proxmox. Secondary node has a...
Hey all,
So I've set up my proxmox to have a ubuntu server vm that is running docker and portainer. I currently have a unraid NAS that houses my media content. I am trying to give my new containers access to this media content. My question is how do I connect my NAS shares to proxmox to allow...
I've built a new homelab server which I'm going to run Proxmox on.
Mostly for a Kubernetes playground.
But I'm stuck on storage, and can't seem to move past it, brain is completely frozen.
The server has:
'3x WD Black nvme 1TB
1x WD Red nvme 1TB
4x WD Red Plus 4TB (rust)
90% of the content...
Hi,
This is an idea that makes a lot of sense to me, yet I'm not able to find people talking about it so it's probably a bad idea. Still I would love to know why it's bad. Before anyone asks, no I'm not planing on using this in production.
According to the docs PVE supports shared LVM storage...
My proxmox install used two drives in a zfs pool as the storage system, but one drive was starting to fail. I bought a new, larger drive, backed up the VMs and copied /etc/pve. I swapped out the dying drive for the new one, and reinstalled proxmox. Then things went south.
I added the second...
