storage block

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...

Several customers have asked us how to get the best possible storage latency out of Proxmox and QEMU (without sacrificing consistency or durability). Typically, the goal is to maximize database performance and improve benchmark results when moving from VMware to Proxmox. In these cases...

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 everyone, a common question in the forum and to us is which settings are best for storage performance. We took a comprehensive look at performance on PVE 7.2 (kernel=5.15.53-1-pve) with aio=native, aio=io_uring, and iothreads over several weeks of benchmarking on an AMD EPYC system with 100G...

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...

Hi, I got a new nvme m.2 1TB drive for VM's ONLY so that they are quick and snappy! What's the best way to expose it to proxmox as? I was thinking of thin provisioning? Do you have any recommendations? Many thanks

Hi everyone, This is my first post under Proxmox forum. I am very new with Proxmox and KVM in general, so I am going to ask all my questions and hopefully they are not too dumb! 1- Has anyone managed to get ZFS over iSCSI done to EMC storage lineup? (this case is PowerStore) 2- Experience with...

Hello everyone, I'm setting up a small proxmox cluster with three hosts and an HP P2000 ISCSI storage. Everything works fine, the only problem is that I cannot create the LVM on top of the ISCSI lun. I get the following error message in the Proxmox GUI: create storage failed: error with cfs...

What's the best solution to get a filesystem accepting qcow disk files, and snapshots when using a storage via iSCSI ? The basic solution is LVM, but it's not possible to have snapshots neither qcow.

Hi all, I am running Proxmox 5.4-6 on a 3 node cluster. I have a VM that consumes 15TB of storage, which is LVM based (it sits on FC storage). I would like to do a live migration of this disk, to a new storage (LVM storage, iscsi mounted on proxmox). Keep in mind that the VM is running and the...

@proxmox Team @tom I directly opened a bugzill enhancement report to get this rolling as soon as possible. Should be relatively easy to implement and this could even be available within Q1 2019. https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2047 Thanks guys!

I have a PVE host which was originally installed on PVE v3 with Directory type storage for local disk images. It is now running 5.3-5. I would like to have the disk images stored on lvm-thin so that I can trim them (the disks are .raw images). Is there a way of doing this that doesn't involve...

As the subject says, I mainly come from a vmware world (vcenter). I am having some trouble understanding how "datastores" work in the pve world. I have an iSCSI drive attached to a new VM (1Terabyte). This block 1TB has 1-50 GB Primary partition on it, so I can have a repository of ISO's...
