Create empty (dummy) VMs

qm create <new ID>
Example:
qm create 200

List VMs

qm list

Corosync

Very important to have a low latency connection. A bond would add 100ms per failure, so it would work. It is better to have two separate cluster links.

Windows VirtIO drivers

The Windows VirtIO drivers can be found at: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-virtio/ The version to be chosen depends on Windows installation. Older Windows versions need older driver packages.

Windows change disk type from SATA to SCSI

  • Before you can change the disk type, the drivers must be installed.
  • Add a small SCSI disk and reboot the server.
  • Check if there is a triangle in the device manager
  • shutdown the server
  • detach and remove the small disk
  • detach your OS disk
  • add your OS disk and change the device type to SCSI
  • also change the boot order

Now it should work, that you can boot from your disk attached as SCSI disk. SCSI is normally faster then VirtIO for Windows OS.

Enter a LXC container from the Proxmox shell:

pct enter <container ID>
# Example: 
pct enter 101

Import disk to VM

qm disk import <VM-ID> </path/to/image.qcow2> <storage-name>
# Example: 
qm disk import 103 /mnt/pve/samba/import/Rocky-10-GenericCloud-Base.latest.x86_64.qcow2 zpool

After the import is DONE the this is marked as unused disk at the VM. With an double click it could be added. Also the boot order must be adjusted.

Change the VM ID range

Datacenter → Options → Next Free VMID Range

Install Ceph per node.

Usage per disk and much more info

ceph osd  df tree

Usage of Ceph
