storage architecture

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...

Can I have 3 servers with 3 drivers? I will use 2 drives for local storage (i.e. raided) and 1 drive for Proxmox HA (shared storage)?

Hi, I recently came to know about Proxmox. I know that to build HA cluster I need 3 servers working together on min 10G network. My question is how Proxmox creates shared storage to perform VMs migration? What kind of storage I need(SSD,HDD)? I am planning to purchase and build 3 server...

Good afternoon all, I am building my homeserver to host a homelab, NAS, nextcloud and Plex/Jellyfin (amongst other things). I want to use Proxmox on the host to create VMs and containers for the mentioned services. For the Proxmox OS and VMs I have installed a 2TB M.2 SSD, in single disk mode...

Hello All, I am currently working on some hosts that have 8x 600GB 10k SAS drives and am planning on using these to install Proxmox and use the rest for CEPH. Is there a best way to split out these drives by filesystem? Should I use the RAID controller on the server or is it better to use the...

Hi All For two weeks I have been searching the market for a good solution to solve the problem of data integrity, but I still can't decide due to insufficient experience. I think, It will be the best to write a new thread for sharing it. I believe someone had a similar problem and I hope it...

Hello Proxmox Community, I have some questions about sharing data between containers. While researching I found many ways to do this and because I’m relatively new to Proxmox and maybe don’t understand the implications of doing certain things, I wanted to ask if there are any problems with the...

hello gentlemen, I have an SR650 V2 server connected via 2x SAS/HBA cables to each node of an IBM FlashSystem 5015. I do all the storage configuration, making the volumes available to the host (SR650), but it is showing duplicate volumes: What configuration should I perform to recognize in...

Looking for some advice on the best way to setup storage on my homelab PVE. Currently I have 4, 10tb drives formatted with EXT4 in OMV managed by Snapraid and grouped with MergerFS for sharing. The setup effectively has 3 drives for data, and 1 for parity. The primary use is bulk archival...

I an trying to add my Truenas as a storage to proxmox using CIFS, But i keep getting this error, create storage failed: error with cfs lock 'file-storage_cfg': mount error: Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) (500) the version of the proxmox is 6.1-7, and it worked on...

Hi. I have multiple proxmox 7 clusters for different needs. On a "staging" cluster (for staging / preproduction infrastructure) I don't have any HA. But on the production cluster, I configure two ceph storages (SSD and HDD). Developers have always pointed out to me that deploying code is...

Hey everyone, I recently built a Proxmox server with the following hardware configuration: Core i5 9400F Gigabyte B365M-DS3H motherboard 64GB DDR4 RAM 2400Mhz 1 x 128GB WD M.2 SSD 3 x Ant Esports 690 Neo 1TB 2.5" SSDs 1 x 1TB HDD for CCTV recording 1 x 4-port 1Gbps LAN card from Intel The...

I'm facing a bit of a challenge with my current project and I'm hoping that someone here might have some wisdom to share. For context, my end goal is to have a self-hosted S3 service replicated across 3 data centers (1 West coast, 2 East coast). I have 6 storage servers (2 for each DC) that are...

Many discussions have compared Proxmox and VMware from a feature perspective, but almost none compare performance. We tested PVE 7.2 (kernel=5.15.53-1-pve) and VMware ESXi 7.0 (update 3c) with a 32 VM workload to see which performs better under load with storage-heavy applications. The results...

Hey all, hopefully a quick answer. I am looking to get 3 SSD's into raidz0, this will be a vm pool to reduce the ridiculous io delay I have now. I do have a solid redundancy strategy and backup system already in place. Would someone be able to point me to the cli commands or gui setup to make...

I have read through the documentation and I'm not sure I'm following it well because I'm not even sure if what I want to accomplish is possible with Proxmox or not so I thought I'd ask here. I have a Proxmox node setup and hosting several containers and VMs. This started as a hobby and chance...

Hello everyone, I'm preparing a personal server under PVE, and one VM will be dedicated to NAS storage. I have 6 HDD dedicated to this (and one SSD for boot and PVE system). I wonder if, generally speaking, I would install PVE with all this storage (Ceph ? ZFS ?) and assign a huge size to the...

My current NAS setup has Proxmox VE running on bare metal and TrueNAS Scale running in a VM. I created a zfs pool "appspool" from the UI: Datacenter -> Storage -> Add -> ZFS I then created a TrueNAS scale VM and passed through the disk qm set 900 --scsi2...

I have one server for proxmox and two servers for storage. Could you please suggest to me how I can configure the storage on the two servers with realtime replication or active/backup mood. Seeking expert suggestions.proxmo Server configuration are below: Proxmox server: Dell PowerEdge R650...

I have been using the Unixy underlayer of macOS (Darwin) for many years and I have been running a server based on macOS for the last 20 years. So, I am somewhat technical. I am moving away from this (macOS is no longer reliable enough for this). I am running: nsd/unbound (in a complex setup...
