    last missing enterprise feature (on shared block storage / SAN)

    Hi, I know that there is already "LVM over iSCSI/FC" for shared block storage (SAN) which carves out LV from a shared VG/LUN for individual VM disks - but with no snapshot and thin provisioning support my question is why is there no (extended) storage plugin which provides 1.) "QCOW2 over/on...

    Hello. So I've gone through what I think are the docs regarding PROXMOX and fibre channel presented LUN's. I'm using an older 3PAR 7200 in my lab, attempting to get shared storage between a PROXMOX cluster. So far, I have a fully operational cluster with a shared NFS volume, which performs...

    Shared Storage with FC-SAN

    Hello, I'm trying to get the best storage possible using fiber-channel SAN. With Multipath, I'm able to get the SAN appear as disk on my nodes, and I'm able to create a PV/VG on it. So I have now a Shared storage based on LVM, on my SAN, available on all my nodes. The only issue I get, is...

    Recommendation Request: Dual Node Shared Storage

    Had a client request a fully redundant dual-node setup, and most of my experience has been either with single node (ZFS FTW) or lots of nodes (CEPH FTW). Neither of those things seem to work well in a dual node fully redundant setup. Here's my thinking, wanted to see what the wisdom of the...

    Advice for a redundant SAN?

    What is the best Open Source solution to create a SAN for a 13 node proxmox cluster? I wouldn't want to use a product that after a year I find the license cost doubled or the company going bankrupt ;-) In the past I tried with Ceph.. but the snaps were much much slower than ZFS and over time...

    Several newbie questions regarding best practices on how to setup a iSCSI SAN

    Hello, we have recently installed a HP MSA 2040 to use with iSCSI. I am a total newbie in this field and decided to just try and learn stuff on the way. Therefore even though it's generally working right now (one host has access to the SAN and I was able to add a mount point to an existing CT)...

    create storage failed: pvcreate error ... device is too small (pv_min_size) (500)

    Hello, I'm in the process of setting up a HP MSA2040 SAN to work with Proxmox. As I just started using a SAN, I have a little over zero knowledge of these things, so there most probably will be errors in my setup (or terms I don't use correctly). Current status is: - MSA2040 is connected via...

    Migrating thin provisioned disks results in the transfer as if it's thick provisioned.

    If you have a thin provisioned disk (say 128GB), but the actual size of the disk is only 6GB after install, why does proxmox need to physically move 128GB of data when migrating a disk to another network storage location (even though the file is 6GB)? What is the limitation here? It does not...

    Is it possible: PVE + shared storage + HA + replication to remote site?

    All of my previous experience of PVE setups related to stand-alone hosts, and PVE is perfect for that. Now we want to connect shared SAN storage to several PVE hosts to have HA available. SAN (we rent it) seems to be FC connected. At the same time we want to have the same VMs copied...

    Use FC storage in PVE cluster

    I used to use standalone PVE hosts, with local attached disks. Nice and tiny setups :) Now I have a chance to set up PVE cluster with shared storage. It involves some like 2 groups each consists of "6 hosts and 1 SAN". All hardware to be rented so we can make some adjustments at this point...
