My proxmox backup server is locking up frequently causing no SSH or console access. Only a hard reboot will restore communication to the server. I believe it is a kernel panic or some sort of hardware failure. I try to view the logs, but it seems they aren't capture at the time of failure. I also tried setting up iDRAC on my server, but it is not logging those events. I am wondering if my setup was prone to failing from the beginning and would like any insight on it.
My server is a Dell PowerEdge R330. My external RAID controller is a Nexsan E48. The controller is connected via 2 fiber channel cards and configured using multipath. After configuring a 42 disk RAID 6 array on the controller, a partition map was created on the multipath device using gdisk. Then an ext4 file system was created on that partition. A directory was also created to serve as a mount point for the datastore. In the PBS GUI, a datastore was created with the backing path /mnt/ext_raid.
I have 5 PVE clusters (multiple VMs and containers) and a few standalone hosts backing up to my PBS server. My server had never failed like this before adding the Nexsan, so I am assuming that is what's causing it to lock up. PBS was installed with ZFS.
