    Kingneutron replied to the thread swap on proxmox server ?.
    That's going straight to crazy town, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Trying to do the above a) introduces a S L O W - and needlessly complex - path for swap, and b) puts you at risk if/when the VM gets powered down, nicely or not, without...

    Hi Huganega, Ok, that 128/128 result is probably the most interesting thing you've found yet. The fact that the active SCSI path reaches exactly 128 outstanding requests, stops completing them for 12-14 seconds, and then sdk_ioerr_cnt increases...

    Thanks for the links. I have looked into both of them in more detail now. The fleecing patch is interesting because it demonstrates that a QEMU block-drain condition can indeed leave guest I/O stuck if the drained section is not terminated...

    Hey Frankz, Realtek cards "work" on most Linux hosts, but server admins don't trust them due to well-earned stigma. NICs are very affordable, I have a pile of them. But an I340-T4 for under $40 CAD or PRO/1000 4 Port for the same price will be...

    Isn't this the same as putting a swapfile on btrfs or zfs directly but with extrasteps so not supported? And way more fragile due to the NFS layer between?I wouldn't see some hack from a raspberry forum as "supported".

    This is expected behavior with Proxmox HA. If a VM is managed by HA, stopping it is generally interpreted as an unexpected state, so the HA manager will try to bring it back online. For planned maintenance, you can temporarily put the VM into a...

    @esnmb Proxmox HA is more of a “what state is it supposed to be” thing. PVE doesn’t know why it is off, it just knows it’s supposed to be running. The web GUI tells HA it should be stopped therefore the guest is asked to stop.

    Hey NoriCopperBrand, Good news, nothing wrong with your equipment! In other news, you are in for some pleasant learning. First major thing: Do not run these commands on every PVE node: rescan-scsi-bus.sh multipathd resize map mpathX pvresize...

    if you press the shutdown button via proxmox gui it will shut down and stay turned off, however if it is done via the guest OS it will turn back on (with HA enabled) - i also noticed this coming from vmware and its annoying, proxmox has some...

    just to add a bit of context and hopefully make things a bit more clear for future readers not quite - the output comes from listing the entry in the `debian/NEWS` file from the Debian Upstream zfs-linux source package...

    and the retention settings The only write once read many (WORM) I know are the identically named LTO tapes. As long as you secure your PBS properly, e.g. not attaching it to any AD/LDAP/OID to keep the attach surface small, you're safe. PBS acts...

    Johannes S reacted to fba's post in the thread falling over to a zfs replica with Like Like.
    That's the idea of replication, isn't it? If you migrate the vm, the replication direction is turned around, meaning the node owning the vm replicates the disks to the other one. before migration: node1 -> node2 after migration: node2 -> node1...

    Hey guys! I'm still getting used to Proxmox, but so far it's been amazing! Since I'm still getting hands-on learning about the product, naturally I've been playing around with storage configurations. I've created some lvm/lvm-thin volume...

    Yes, PBS uses this technique, Veeam implemented it's own. Therefore you need the worker VMs. Hoepfully they'll adapt to the correct API PVE provides in order to have a better integration.

    Yes, I believe you should simply be able to rename it in the config by editing both the remotes.cfg and remotes.shadow manually. Regarding the lock file: this file is in place to get "locked", it is an empty file which tells other...

    SteveITS replied to the thread High Availability Functionality.
    One can change settings ahead of time. PVE shows that unapplied setting in orange as I recall, in the hardware settings page. If one restarts the OS inside the VM, the VM "hardware" doesn't ever stop, so PVE never applies the change. The...

    Onslow replied to the thread High Availability Functionality.
    Aren't there any parameters of a VM hosted by a PVE (I mean parameters not inside of VM's OS) which require stopping the VM first? For instance, at least in Vmware, when you need to disable Secure Boot in EFI boot settings, the VM must be shut...
