storage configuration

Hi! One of the nodes I'm using Proxmox in is experiencing high IOwait from time to time, and I'm very confident this is because physical disk bandwidth limitation. The storage being affected is a 3 disk raidZ1 pool, all of them 2.5" SSDs (Mix of crucial and Samsung drives). All of them are...

Hello, Environment: I have 3 Proxmox servers on 3 physical machines. All of them are identical but one has additional hard drive and RAID controller. All are connected via 1Gbps cooper interface. On this one with additional drive I configured NAS service and connect it do others servers as...

hello proxmox community! I am in need of some advice pertaining to pve, storage configurations and what is possible natively to proxmox without editing the base installation. I have already looked on https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage#_storage_configuration and was unable to find, or perhaps...

Hello, So I have this project where, to cut it short, we need a 144Tb storage/archive server. The original idea was to simply run TrueNAS and call it a day there, however, we have a proxmox cluster up and running for a bunch of in house services. The new idea was to run a TrueNAS VM on a new...

In VMware you have the option to migrate Compute, Storage or Compute AND Storage. In fact I don't believe proxmox even has a single button to migrate all disks for a specific VM. AFAIK you have to select each individual virtual hard drive and click the move button, wait for it to finish before...

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...
