NVME SSD emulation - ?

[HTWR]

Is it possible to emulate NVME SSD? Thanks.

Hi, not currently.
There's an open bug report with a patch available on the mailing list https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2255
It should also be possible via custom qemu args

 

[HTWR]

Hi, that will do. Thanks.

BTW, will "custom qemu args" be respected by Templates, Clones, Backups, etc.?

 

[Matthias.]

Yes. You can test that very easily be putting some garbage in the custom args and verify that the VM and clone fail to start/backup : )

Would be really appreciated, if you could pull in the existing Patch. So we don't need to deal with failed Backups :- )

Could you explain what you mean? I can have a look at the patch, but how does it relate to failed backups?

That was your own words ?!? I'd like not to deal with custom args to kill my Backups.
Could you please add NVME Support to the WEB GUI ? Makes it a lot easier and error free.

 

[Matthias.]

There seems to be a misunderstanding.
I merely described a way to test whether the custom arguments are respected by backups.
Obviously, if you put an invalid argument there, the VM won't start.

However, if you put a valid command there, e.g. nvme emulation, it will of course work.

Understood. It would be more error proof, if you could please move
NVME Support from custom arguments to Web GUI. Would this be possible ?
