storage

Hi guys, I recently bought a server on which I run Proxmox for virtualization. First I installed Proxmox directly on my 1TB SSD, but then realized that I was losing almost 100GB for the "local" partition, but I wanted to use the fast SSD storage for the "local-lvm", i.e. the VMs themselves...

Hi, I have an LXC container that has a big storage defined in the web UI ("900G") but the filesystem seems not to have taken the last resizes commands into account. Here is the current state of the storage: On the container: #df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted...

I'm a newbie to Proxmox and don't really get many advanced topics yet. But what I want to do in Proxmox is the following: Within Proxmox dashboard I've formatted a storage (2 Sata HDDs, 12TB) into mirror (ZFS). This is intended to be a pure storage Disk and no VMs running on it. It should stand...

Hi, first of all thanks to all the active forum members and staff for the great input on the forum. Been using PVE at work for quite some time and it's running well. I have bought a used 4-node dell C6100 for cheap and am currenty figuring out what the best storage and storage network...

I was messing around with my proxmox host and wanted to test out clustering with another server I had available. I did not rtfm and was not aware you can't easily reverse moving to a cluster. So, I hit it with a hammer and re-installed and reconfigured proxmox on the original server. After...

Hey all; I've made use of Proxmox for a while and I'm looking to take my first few steps into ceph -- I have 3x QCT QuantaGrid SD1Q-1ULH that I will be making use of. Each of these nodes have a Xeon D-1541 with an OCP Mezz 10Gb SFP+ (QCT Intel® 82599ES dual-port 10G SFP+ OCP mezzanine) and...

Hello, I'm deploying a new cluster with 3 machines, each one having 64GB RAM + 2x512GB NVMe SSD. The VMs that will run on the cluster will use about 70-80% of available RAM, so there will be little spare RAM left (4-8 GB). I would like to use ZFS, as it's supported by Proxmox, but I'm afraid...

Heyo, playing with ansibles community.general.proxmox modul. Trying to create simples LXC: --- - hosts: localhost tasks: - name: Create new LXC community.general.proxmox: node: "my node" api_user: "my user" api_token_id: "my id" api_token_secret: "my token"...

Hi everyone, new to Proxmox and Linux as a whole. Over the last week or so, I've been trying to setup my storage (among other things). While I've been largely successful at setting up the rest of my server, setting up my storage the way I want has been a huge challenge. What I want is: All 5...

Hi guys, I am new to Proxmox, coming from Unraid. I switched mostly because I need to study setting up VMs using packer, terraform, ansible etc ... to make a long story short, I did some research on the right storage layout for me. I started to learn zfs, barely scratching the surface. Here is...

I have secondary NVME disk (A) for VM install and a 50TB RaidZ1 ZFS pool with 6 drives in my proxmox host (beside OS disk and ISO storage). To create nextcloud VM or Alpine-portainer, what is recommended way if I need my ZFS pool only for nextcloud and nothing else? Option 1) Create ZFS on...

Hi All just wondering is it possible to have a ProxMox cluster with both local ZFS data store per host + Ceph on the same cluster? example. 5 or 6 hosts 10 bays per host 4 bays for ZFS mirror 6 bays for Ceph is it possible to have this mixed storage design in a single cluster? From a...

I've been reading a lot of posts about storage layout options. My general takeaway is that: 1. The answer always comes down to requirements. 2. There's a vast difference in requirements In my case, requirements are strictly home-nerd/software developer/very occasional gamer - so huge clusters...

This week we have been balancing storage across our 5 node cluster; Everything is going relatively smoothly but am getting a warning in CEPH: "pgs not being deep-scrubbed in time" This only began happening AFTER we made changes to the disks on one of our nodes; CEPH is still healing properly...

Hello! I'm running a PVE 5.2 cluster with 4 nodes. The cluster is attached to a SAN, an HP P2000 G3 iSCSI. VMs are hosted on the SAN. The first controller of the SAN failed. Everything is running on the second controller, but I can't manage PVE anymore. Although VMs are running, it seems that...

Hey all, I played around with proxmox a bit and originally had my 6 disks which range from 1tb to 2tb to 10tb directly connected to the motherboards sata ports, and I was able to create vg's with said disks, in the gui it says " vgcreate sda /dev/sda error: Run `vgcreate --help' for more...

hi,so im trying using my old ASUS GL553VD with i7-7700hq,32gb ram as a Proxmox Server,im connecting 4x 2TB HDD over USB 3.0 and 2x4TB HDD over USB 3.0 on the other ports i only have one SSD,a 2TB EVO860 inserted into this laptop and i left 200GB free (unallocated) the rest are important data...

Is there a way to create a disk that can be attached to one VM, used, then detatched and attached to another VM? I see that I can add a hard drive to an existing VM and I can detach it. That disk will then have a name like vm-xxx-disk-y. However, I can't figure out how to attach vm-xxx-disk-y...

Hi, I'm trying to create a new VM, when Hard Disk tab is shown, Storage dropdown doesn't show any storage available: Can you help me about this issue? Thanks!

I'm kind of new to Proxmox so excuse my beginner's question. I have configured a proxmox machine. On the proxmox host I created a special volume that I want to use as a data storage volume (based on Intel RST RAID 1 and LVM) for all my media etc. Eventually, multiple systems will read and write...
