storage

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...

I've been using Proxmox nodes in a cluster of 2 for awhile and they both have relatively low resources, so I bought a PowerEdge R720 that's a lot more capable. At the moment I'm low on storage and I've been using an external 4TB HD external HD on one of my existing nodes. I'd like to be able...

Hi I'm trying to add external cephfs storage directly in /etc/pve/storage.cfg because I need to specify "subdir". (It is not possible to type subdir in the GUI) But I also have to specify 'FS name' because it's not the default cephfs file system. Can I add 'FS name' to etc/pve/storage.cfg and how?

Servus, jetzt hab ich wieder eine Frage ... Notgedrungen habe ich bisher mein kleines Drei-Node-Cluster plus pbs mit VMs, Storage und Corosync in ein und demselben Netzwerk betrieben. Die Latenz für Corosync ist ~1ms, also kein Problem, die Netzwerkauslastung hält sich in Grenzen. Dank einiger...

Hi. Please take a look at the image comparison first. I ran Crystaldiskmark on a bare metal Proxmox and a nested Proxmox. The storage random access speed is clearly lower on the nested. What could be the cause of this? I imagine it is the block size. Memory cache is set to "none". Any Idea?

Hey Boys & Girls, I have hard times to decide whats the best Configuration between Performance and Size would be. - In Short, i need to upgrade my Storage in the Server, because im running out of Space (50TB almost full), so i've ordered: 8x 20TB WD HDD's 1x Bifurbication Card (PCE4.0 x16 ->...

Hi! I have a question about the connection and compatibility that proxmox can give me when connecting direct 4 Lenovo Servers to a Storage via 16GB fiber channel. (DAS Connectivity). *Without SAN Switch* The storage has 2 controllers, each one with 4 fiber ports, which allows us to connect a...

1.) I can't currently delete a VM which was created, setup, shut down and left off - it's not important at all. That file doesn't exist? I've rebooted so I'd expect any "locks" to files to be cleared? The VM was only used for a few hours shut down and left off. NOTE: this VM has never even...

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...

I've installed Proxmox on a 1TB NVME drive, and used the advanced settings to tell the installer that I only wanted to use 256GB for Proxmox. Now I'd like to create an LVM-Thin partition on the remaining 750GB(ish) to be used for storing VM disk files. I can't seem to find out how to do this. I...

I have issues since on my Proxmox cluster since I added a new node with ZFS (RAIDZ2) storage. I had a 3-node cluster (version 7.3) where each nodes (names: node1, node2 and node3) had a single disk using XFS filesystem, I added a new v7.4 node (name: node4) having 8 disks ZFS RAIDZ2. Note...

Hello Everyone. We received excellent feedback from the previous storage performance investigations, particularly the technotes on optimal disk configuration settings (i.e., aio native, io_uring, and iothreads) and the deep dive into optimizing guest storage latency. Several community members...

I am hoping someone might be able to explain or help me understand what might be happening with a couple of containers I have which use nfs mounts to my truenas server. On the truenas server I have three nfs shares: nfs1, nfs2 and nfs3 On proxmox I have two lxc containers: lxc1 and lxc2 I...

I'm trying to pass through an existing LV to a container. I believe this means I need to use an image based, storage backed mountpoint as described here, which mentions a special syntax for creating a new LV, but there is no mention of the option to mount an existing LV. I have created a new...

Hello Maybe something like that is planned or maybe not. In the Storage View of ZFS, LVM, ... you can see available Storage. But you can't see any Performance Stats of this particular Storage, like overall Read/Write Bandwidth or IO Bandwidth.. This would help to monitor Storage directly in...

Hi Everyone, I am new to this Forum and hope to receive some help with my Storage Management. I am aware of the basics and different types of storage and so on, but i don't know how to manage all of this in a "real life usecase". My Setup: 1x Nvme - 250Gib -> Proxmox OS installed (Ref. as...

Hi Guys, Soon I want to build a Low-Power Server with one of those Erying Motherboards. Since I live in Germany and Energy is expensive here, I'm kind of compromised in the Storage Setup. This Setup is only used for an SMB Share that's connected via a 10Gig SFP+ Card. I will add a list at the...

On my PVE I had 2 backup storage locations defined, pbs1 and pbs-offsite1 (which is a remote that syncs from pbs1). The reason for this configurations is for the case where the primary backup server was unavailable, or if backups had been deleted from it, they could still be restored from the...

Hi all, I have a build using standard PC parts, and one of my VMs is OpenMediaVault NAS OS. Storage wise I currently have: 1st NVMe - Proxmox OS. Passed through to NAS from mobo SATA ports (using Passthrough Physical Disk to Virtual Machine (VM) 2nd NVMe 1st SSD 2nd SSD 1st HDD There are a...

Hello everybody! I have a problem with my second hard drive in Proxmox. This is not displayed correctly in my opinion. As you can see in the pictures, the free space varies between 300GB and 600GB. On the hard disk there are two VMs which have 1x500GB and 1x64GB + 1x snapshot. Due to my storage...
