Ppulipulichen replied to the thread [SOLVED] Does Proxmox VE support host–guest time synchronization similar to VMware?.Regarding your approach, I would personally still prefer using a physical host outside the PVE cluster, or at the very least the PVE host itself, as the NTP target. To the best of my knowledge, placing the NTP server within a VM on PVE might not...

Ppulipulichen replied to the thread [SOLVED] Does Proxmox VE support host–guest time synchronization similar to VMware?.That’s a great point! I completely forgot that AD can also serve as the NTP target for the entire domain infrastructure. On a related note, I’m actually planning to join my PVE host to the AD realm for authentication. Does joining the realm...

Like.
I would look into something like this: Time Machines Relatively inexpensive and create a NTP/PTP server on your LAN. Failing that, in the past when I have faced this challenge, I often prefer to create VMs as NTP time server. It is not accurate... -

Not sure if it is 'The' recommended way, but as I mentioned, we rely on a NTP source in our network so it is reachable for all machines. In your case if you do not have the means to set up a dedicated NTP source, using one of the PVE hosts, or...

Ppulipulichen posted the thread Should I set CT Swap to 0 to prevent PVE host crashes during high memory usage? in Proxmox VE: Installation and configuration.Hi everyone, I have a question regarding CT container memory configurations. Currently, I'm running several LXC containers on a PVE host with various RAM allocations. The largest one is assigned about half of the host's total physical RAM...

Ppulipulichen replied to the thread [SOLVED] What are the best practices for using Windows as a Q-Device arbiter in a two-node PVE cluster?.I've also been considering the possibility of using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) directly as the Q-Device arbiter. Since I'm not particularly familiar with the nuances of WSL, I'm curious if its networking would face the same challenge you...

Ppulipulichen replied to the thread [SOLVED] What are the best practices for using Windows as a Q-Device arbiter in a two-node PVE cluster?.I would like to clarify my previous post as I realize I may have caused some confusion regarding my plan. If I proceed with setting up a "mini PVE" node (as a VM on my Windows machine), my intention is indeed to join it directly to the existing...

If you install PVE on the third node/VM then why not join it to the cluster instead of making it a Qdevice? It just seems like a lot of unnecessary stuff that you won't be using, if you aren't joining it (thus no visibility), and if you are...

Ppulipulichen replied to the thread [SOLVED] What are the best practices for using Windows as a Q-Device arbiter in a two-node PVE cluster?.Thanks for the explanation. Regarding the suggestion for a Bare Metal node, I completely agree that it would be the ideal setup if the hardware were available. However, the current environmental constraint is that I only have two physical nodes...

I still think that a QDevice is the way to go. Setting up another PVE VM (in Windows) just for the sake of GUI-visibility seems to me completely unnecessary and wasteful. Add to that, the NW element inter-cluster is more complex & generally...

Wwhydoentitwork posted the thread [SOLVED] Proxmox VM combining tagged and untagged VLAN traffic (host behind Unifi switch) in Proxmox VE: Networking and Firewall.Hello all! After 3 days of digging, I decided to ask directly: My proxmox host is connected to a Unifi switch port with a native VLAN 1610, also allowing tagged VLAN traffic for IDs 3510, 1620, ... That means the proxmox host is automatically...

Just create that scenario, it will probably work. Please report back your experience here :) What I would do (if I would be forced to use a VM on Windows for this) is to make sure I give it a separate / independent NIC. I want the PVE node to...

Monitoring should be automatically done in the background from another system so that you have proper monitoring and alerting. This can be automated via pvecm if you want to do this, but don't manually look for stuff. That should work, too. You...

The Qdevice does not need to run PVE. It can just be plain Debian. In fact I’d say it shouldn’t run PVE.

As noted above - a QDevice is just an external vote provided by that server. You can use the corosync-qnetd package to set this up on the external server. For details on implementation - see the official Proxmox notes here. Good luck.

Probably. As @SteveITS already said: a plain and minimal instance of Debian is sufficient. Well..., there may be different opinions about this one. Personally I do not like Windows systems to be a required part of my infrastructure. Two...

Ppulipulichen replied to the thread [SOLVED] What are the best practices for using Windows as a Q-Device arbiter in a two-node PVE cluster?.Actually, I am using a SAN with Fibre Channel (FC) connected to the servers. So while I do have shared storage, I don't have a NAS capable of hosting Containers (LXC) to run a QDevice directly. It's a bit of a pity, which is why I'm considering...
