Re: Proxmox Upgrade Controller VM to new Debian Controller VM 20260918

Are there any conditions attached to renewal? Are there going to be fees associated with renewal?
Is the 4Tb limit the maximum for VSAN shared storage?
What happens to your VSAN if you forget to renew?

Re: Proxmox Upgrade Controller VM to new Debian Controller VM 20260918

One last thing the existing Ubuntu 20.04 CVM that is being migrated to the new Debian CVM should it be running or stopped on the Proxmox host?

Re: Proxmox Upgrade Controller VM to new Debian Controller VM 20260918

I'll give it a go and let you know how it goes.
I'm assuming I'm not the first person to try this as "leading edge" is fine "bleeding edge" not so good.

Proxmox Upgrade Controller VM to new Debian Controller VM 20260918

Congratulations on the new Debian 13.4 CVM. Is there going to be a guide on how the offline migration works? In my set up I have a 2 node Proxmox 9.2.20 system. Each CVM have 2 PCIe 2Tb NVMe SSDs in a mdadm Raid array. I'm not sure when to remove the NVMe SSDs from the old CVM and attach them to the...

Re: Proxmox and NVMe-oF Free

Thanks Yaroslav, I visit the forums daily just to observe and keep in touch with what's going on. I think I've used Starwind for at least 10 years or more and always wondered why it wasn't more successful considering how rock solid it has been for me. I'm about to turn 70 on my next birthday so my p...

Proxmox and NVMe-oF Free

Is it still possible to set up NVMe-oF Free with a 2 node Proxmox cluster (9.2.10)? Is it worth the effort converting/replacing iSCSI LUNs to NVMe-oF LUNs and are there any benchmarks etc. that would indicate the performance benefits? Each host has 2 NICs each has a dual port 10Gb network connection...

Re: VSAN Free on Proxmox 9 - Update VHCA

It 's annoying being paranoid and taking more time just in case BUT far worse is being just a bit too casual and have that sinking feeling of there goes my weekend why wasn't I more careful? I have experienced both the relief of a good rebuild and restore and the terror of a failed restore and "...

Re: VSAN Free on Proxmox 9 - Update VHCA

Ok so the one approach would be to shutdown each node and duplicate the virtual disk before attempting to upgrade?
Or alterantively just use Proxmox to backup each node and do a full restore if the update fails?
Any comments on those ideas?

Re: VSAN Free on Proxmox 9 - Update VHCA

The upgrade was pleasantly uneventful. I updated one node then confirmed that all disks had synched and then updated the next node. Everything worked as it should and I haven't had any issues. I look forwards to repeating the process when the next version is released. In the unlikely event that the ...
