storage architecture

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...

Hello, I have a bunch of questions about setting up storage in a recommended/safest way. My end goal is that I have a NAS with a few storage "buckets" that I can mount/share into other vm's or externally via samba, nfs, etc. The tricky thing is, I want all(or some) of the storage to be...

(originally posted on a Reddit thread but not getting a reply so I figured I'd newb-out here a minute) Goal: I'd like to go ahead and get a storage skeleton setup that won't bite me in the future when I'm delving into more Container work. This is just for a home server + gaming VMs, nothing...

Solution: on datacenter/storage i added new lvm disk and chose vg0 (in my case) as volume group, that solved my problem. Hi, ive installed proxmox on a server i rented from hetzner. When i was installing proxmox i set storage of ve as 32 gb, then i saw its space could easily filled up with...

Hi, in my 2nd attempt to switch over to Proxmox from OMV, I want to move away from an ancient Dell Server with Xeon X3440 that is great for disk storage capacity but terrible on power consumption, noise and thermal exhaust. Therefore, I want to downsize my homelab server to an unused MacMini...

Hello, we are using Proxmox with several different hard drives. Proxmox runs locally via ZFS on a storage, there are no problems here either. We have created additional NVMe hard drives as additional storage and are also recognized by Proxmox and are functional. However, there is now a problem...

I am aiming to get a 3 nodes proxmox cluster with 2 nodes connected to a DAS with this topology : The idea behind this configuration is to have an HA cluster and a HA storage. What I had in mind was to have a zfs pool accessible in an active/passive configuration between nodes and...
