Hi all, im trying to reduce my local storage and re assign it to my "agents" storage that i use for all of my LXCs & VMs. Im short, i have 6ish TB in my node1 local, and i am looking at 3.6TB Agents storage in directory type. My question is how can i cut local in half, and move the remaining...

Hi all Coming ProxMox user here, currently working out the storage design for a small ProxMox box I am building with at couple of friends. Its going to run a few VMs people can use for various Linux tasks and fooling around, some containers like Immich, and then run a few dedicated gaming...

Hello, I already run many services on Proxmox, but now I want to move my most critical service (Paperless) from my Synology DS220+ (SHR + BTRFS) to a Proxmox mini-PC server. My goal is to reduce power consumption/noise and improve speed, but without compromising data integrity compared to the...

I’m currently working for a company that runs a vCenter cluster using 1 Gb/s iSCSI storage on Synology SANs. Everything works perfectly snapshots, thin provisioning, multipath, etc. We’re now looking to migrate to Proxmox, and the big question is: how can we achieve the same storage capabilities...

I am in the process of setting up a small Proxmox host for use in my home lab. I am new to Proxmox, but not new to virtualization. I am looking for recommendations on how to configure my storage specifically, but am open to any and all other recommendations related to a fresh install of...

Hi everyone. I'm trying to set up my first Proxmox cluster with two PowerEdge R660xs and a PowerVault ME5024. I've managed to configure all the iSCSI paths successfully on both hosts, but now I'm left with the choice of creating an LVM-thin volume that won't let me make live migrations but...

Good Morning/Evening, I didn't think I'd ever have to but I have several VMs running on one physical disk that I want to move to another datastore on another disk. I can move the storage one at a time through the web ui but I was wondering if anyone knows of a faster method? This will be...

Hi, new to ProxMox (in a production environment), not too new to Virtualization as a whole. We recently migrated from Xenserver to Proxmox, using the following the procedure: Shutdown Xenserver guest In ProxMox node shell, use wget to get the xenserver machine downloaded tar xf [exported Xen...

I've been looking through and can't seem to find the answer. I have storage on an iscsi device with it shared as a Directory under Storage. I can see it on my original node, I've marked it as shared but with the addition of the second node I can see it listed there but cannot access. I'm...

Hello, I'm seeking guidance on the optimal method to use a mirrored ZFS pool on my Proxmox host to provide dedicated storage for a VM. The goal is to efficiently manage data volumes required for a Nextcloud AIO and Immich setup, where Immich will serve as a backup and sharing app for my...

Hello, I have an ext4 drive connected to my system as bulk storage and already shared it with one VM using this command: /sbin/qm set 105 -virtio2 /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-Viper_VP4300L_2TB_VP4300LEDBB233309048 Do I have to change this command in order to share my SSD to another VM? Is it even...

Hello Team, I am running my production datacenter on 7 nodes proxmox cluster, with HBA SAN shared LUNs. on top of which I created LVM. I create PV and then VG on each LUN then add then created LVM (shared) in proxmox cluster. So one LUN------------> PV------------->VG--------------->shared...

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...
