I got a Opteron 3280 and an ASRock 980DE3/U3S3 with a 760g chipset. Primarely I'm using the server as a File-, Plex- and FTP-Server. I got a Pool and Snapraid. But I'm using some VMs for Testing, Encoding and dont to get the omv basesystem messed up to much. It would be nice to get some snapshots by Proxmox (btw: is it possible to use the VMs of Proxmox in another Server?)
Can I Passtrough the hdds without IOMMU?
OMV on Proxmox
-
- OMV 2.x
- Niemand

the last time I tried to run anything alongside of Proxmox it was a disaster.
I wouldn't want to deal with all the complexity of it.
it's KISS for me -
I agree. OMV runs very well in a VM on proxmox. I currently have six OMV VMs running on my Proxmox server.
-
For what do you need 6 OMV VMs?

Can I Passtrough the hdds without IOMMU?why do you think you do not have IOMMU on this CPU?
how did you test it ?

One is my main file server. One is for plugin development. One is an OMV 2.x VM for testing plugins. One is my master OMV 3.x VM that I make clones from. The other two are VMs that I am testing OMV and plugins. I clone the master anytime I want a fresh VM to test things in.
I also have Ubuntu 16 and Windows VMs

Got it. I only looked at the CPU, and it has the support

I have some problems shutting down VMs over Proxmox GUI. Any idea?
and how can I read SMART?
I made a mergerfs-Pool in OMV-VM with direct passthroughed HDDs and writeback-cache. here i got read performance of 105 mb/s but only 60 mb/s by writing...with aufs 117/105 mb/s... -
No. What OS? You have to have to vm tools installed on the guest to shut it down from the web interface.
No idea about smart.
Of course aufs is faster. It is a native kernel filesystem instead of a fuse filesystem like mergerfs. I never use the writeback cache either.
-
and how can I read SMART?
if you are passing HDD through to OMV vm than use SMART option on OMV webUI.
if other OS you need to research SMART tools for the OS in useFYI: once you do pass-through on any hardware, Proxmox will not be able to access said hardware until it is released. so if in your case you pass hdd to VM
only that VM will be able to read SMART or other info on the drive. for all important use and porpouses the device is not installed on the host OS. -
and how can I read SMART?
Mount the disk as virtio devices and you should get the SMART info in OMV.

he is using pass-through HDD into OMV VM.
can you still mount them as virtio device? -
"Mounting" - bad choice of words on my part.
When defining the passthrough a "type" is defined - if not set as virtio device no SMART info will get to the guest (OMV).
-
ah okay, so i have to mount it as virtio? But with this I dont have full access on the disk, only on something like a VDisk which only can be read in a Proxmox-VM and not Baremetal?
-
Exactly - when you passthrough a device it wont be available to the host anymore, just the guest VM.
-
and that's what I want. The HDDs should only be for the OMV-Guest and not for the host. But with this SMART isn't working?
-
I was monitoring the smart information in OMV (version 3) when it was running as a KVM guest on Proxmox 4 - so it should be possible.
-
KVM? This is just the "create VM"-Button thing, right?
in OMV I dont have any smart Informations
-
Yes "Create VM" is for KVM virtualization.
Why it isnt working for you - i do not know why and cannot help you. Sorry!
