storage

Hi In my setup we decided to change connection to remote storage from FibreChannel to RoCE. All the time, this is the same remote storage source (the same storage array) but used different underlaying storage technology. The array is made by Huawei. Since that change during higher network...

Hi I'm new with Proxmox virtual environment trying to backup to an SMB-Share which is on a machine in a different LAN. When I connect to the SMB-share using my Mac or Windows-Laptop, everything works fine So I don't think it is a firewall issue outside of Proxmox. There are no firewall rules in...

Hello everyone, As a newcomer to this forum, I have a query regarding a particular Proxmox installation setup. I've exclusively worked with VMware and this configuration is quite common in that environment. I have a setup consisting of 2 server nodes and a dedicated storage device. Typically...

I have a new installation of Proxmox VE 8.3.3 and am using two external Drives for VM storage and backups etc. When I create a new VM, I start by highlighting the storage device I want PM to use when creating this machine. I make sure that the storage device I want to use is picked in the...

I mounted a directory from Proxmox on multiple LXC containers. This might not be the proper way to share common storage, but it’s the only method I managed to get working. The issue is that the 100 GiB allocated to the local storage is now almost full, and I can’t figure out how to add more...

Good morning. I have a DL360G11 server with FC boards I also have a Nimble with FC and 2 controllers. I'm not going to form a cluster in Proxmox, I'm just going to use a node called SRVPVE01. Can I present the LUN to the SRVPVE01 node, configure the multipath, and on that LUN, create a LVM-Thin...

On a Hardware RAID configured system, we are having a hard time creating LVM2 groups on the RAID controlled drives. Whenever the hardware undergoes a physical power cycle, any LVM2 groups created on these drives are lost and cannot be recovered. Commands like `pvscan`, `lvscan`, or `lgscan`...

Hello, I am in the process of migrating some LXC containers from one host to another where I have different types of storage. The source host where the container is located has ZFS storage and the destination host has XFS (LVM). How should I proceed? I have tried to make a copy of the...

I have a cluster of around 15 nodes. Today i successfully upgraded pbs from 3.0 to 3.3.2. (reboot and full test of backup\restore worked ) Then i Tried to upgrade a single node (from the GUI). all went normal and system worked after upgrade. i Initiated a reboot, to make sure everything...

Hi, For integrating Alletra 5000 storage to a proxmox cluster, may I know which is the best file system we can use? there is not much documentation for this scenario I see some documentations about OCFS2 but not sure if it will work Thank you.

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of setting up a new Proxmox VE deployment and I have a few questions. My servers come with multiple 10GB and 1GB ports. I've read that the Proxmox documentation frequently recommends using dedicated physical links for the cluster network due to latency...

Should I use ZFS at all? For once this requires a disclaimer first: I am using ZFS nearly everywhere, where it is easily possible, though exceptions do exists. In any case I am definitely biased pro ZFS. That said..., the correct answer is obviously: “Yes, of course” ;-) Integrity ZFS assures...

I would like to make a product request: would Proxmox be able to modify the PBS Code to deliver a ZFS over ISCSI pool? call it simply Proxmox Storage server. it doesn't have to be "HA" as it could use the "ZFS Replication" from the Truenas scale code. maybe even a merge of the truenas scale...

I am trying to delete an orphaned disk image so that I can reformat a drive but whenever I do I get an error: When I go to the VM with ID 102 I can see that this drive image is not referenced anywhere in the hardware, the drive image that you see referenced here lives on a different storage...

Hi, Has anyone experimented with ceph stretch pools that seem to have appeared in squid? (not stretched clusters) It seems rather new, but rather interesting, as it may not require the whole cluster to be set to stretched, while still dealing with the guarantee of OSDs and monitors being on...

Hallo zusammen, ich habe ein Problem mit meinem Proxmox-Server, das ich alleine nicht lösen kann. Der Server läuft mit einem ZFS-Mirror und hat 32 GB RAM. Vor kurzem wollte ich eine ISO-Datei herunterladen, aber der Download stoppte immer bei ca. 1,3 GB. Seitdem ist mir aufgefallen, dass ich...

What is the best expected latancy of storage within a VM? from reading https://kb.blockbridge.com/technote/proxmox-tuning-low-latency-storage/ it looks like their un-opimised guest is getting just over 50us, yet no matter what i try i am getting around 200-300us with raw image, virtio scsi...

Hello, I have a server with 2 disks of 1TB. I installed PVE using the ZFS mirror option, so the two disks are fully dedicated to this whole ZFS mirror. Everything works great. I don't mind changing configurations, but I don't want to add any other physical storage. How could I create a...

Hi everyone, Merry Xmas! I hope someone can help with the following basic problem: I have just created my first cluster by adding a single new node. I would now like to set up the internal SSD in order to transfer some VMs over to it. However, it's not working like the master node. fdisk -l...

Ceph is great, but it needs some resources above the theoretical minimum to work reliably. My assumptions for the following text: you want to use Ceph because... why not? you want to use High Availability - which requires Shared Storage (note that a complete solution needs more things like a...
