storage

Hello, My company wants to set up a proxmox infrastructure but we're hesitating between two choices (we can adjust the hardware configuration of each server). We want to have at least 5Tb of usable storage. Depending on the choice, we invest in a backup server (PBS or TrueNAS replication) a...

Hi, my local-lvm is almost full and I don't know what to do to fix this. I still don't fully understand what local-lvm is or how it works, compared to "local" (which is cleared with no issues). I tried fstrim on all my VMs and Containers. That only freed about 10 GB out of what's being used -...

Hello, I do not want a zfs-local partition on my server so I deleted it from the gui by going to datacenter>Storage>and clicking remove. However I watched a networkchuck video where he did this with a lvm-local instead. He said that once it has been removed from the GUI you need to remove it...

Hi there- this is my first Proxmox install, so maybe one of you could give me some guidance or point me to a good resource concerning storage organisation. I researched it but did not come to a full conclusion yet: So I am about to get a decent server with at least 8x SAS/SATA in HBA mode (no...

I Installed PROXMOX on a new server, and after a few days, the storage on the UI started to show like it's full, although I haven't created any VMs or anything on it. This PVE is part of a cluster, and I am afraid that other nodes have somehow written to this disk. I have a few nodes, each one...

In the Datacentre settings, specifically Storage, it is impossible to select e.g. ISOs, templates, backups, etc. for a ZFS pool. Why? I understand that it is possibly a workaround to add a Dir being a ZFS dataset, but why not allowing selecting the actual pool? Does this have anything to do...

Hello guys, i have a problem. I need to connect my PBS to a PVE. To do this I need to create a Pool Storage/Disk. However, when trying to create it, it doesn't give me the option to select the disk. Both in directory mode and ZFS mode. * PBS was installed as ZFS(RAID10) on installation setup *...

Hi Community, please note that we are planning to replace our oVirt setup with 7 hosts and 330 VMs. The VMs are located on iSCSI which is shared among the hosts. From the documentation it looks like that Proxmox is not capable of using iSCSI luns in a similar way like oVirt. Means features...

Hallo zusammen Ich bin sehr neu im Thema Proxmox und wäre froh über eure Hilfe. Mein aktuelles Setup besteht aus einem Synology Nas DS1821+ mit ca. 100TB HDD Speicher im Raid (7 Festplatten aktuell). Dazu habe ich zwei Kleiner Server (i9/i7, 64GB Ram jeweils, 1TB SSD) auf welchen Proxmox...

Hello all, Dumb here! ;) Long story short, I have added a new SSD as a LVM, but I wanted to create a LVM-Thin instead. So, I migrated all my VM disks to another storage LVM, wiped the disk and created a LVM-Thin. After that, I migrated all my VMs back into the new SSD. Then, comes the GENIUS...

Hi everyone, I was adding another node to my cluster today (node 4), and during the process, node 1 decided to crash. This triggered the HA, and it began spinning the VM up on node 2. The HA migration failed, and the hard disk was never moved. On node 2, I see the VM and the config; and on node...

Hi, I have two proxmox 8.0 hosts in a cluster, conected (each) directly to iscsi storage (don't have SAN switch yet). I have multipath installed and configured, and successfuly see storage from both hosts if I create separate iscsi targets ( Cluster -> Storage -> Add -> iscsi) for both hosts...

I just bought a new drive the capacity is 12TB but the drive size shows 2.04TB. I am not sure if it's a hardware thing, I have a Dell Poweredge r410. Please help. // EDIT: It now is using GPT but still shows up as 2TB. //

Hello! I'm looking for guidance on how to efficiently manage and allocate resources for different users within our Proxmox environment. What are the possible solutions within Proxmox to allocate specific storage, CPU, and RAM resources to individual users, with the goal of limiting their...

Hello, I am planning on reinstalling VE into raid1, however only thing left that is not backed up is a 4TB HDD, that is formatted as "directory disk", with data on it. The question is, however, how do I add/mount it into the new installation, without reformatting? I have backed up storage.conf...

I have configured 3 node proxmox with equal number of OSDs and storage. The storage use keeps increasing despite of the allocated space. The used percentage grows from 99 percent to 100 percent. Why is this happening?

Since a couple of weeks, i get errors with several things that involve adding, removing or changins storage, like deleting VMs, qm scan and so on. When this happens, the only two log lines are these: Use of uninitialized value $used in pattern match (m//) at...

Hi there, Is there a way to use an S3 Bucket as storage for my Proxmox backups? Thank you for the help
