Automated Pure vVOLs Migration From vSphere to Proxmom
Ok. So last one on this for a while. Go read this one first if you haven’t: https://vskeeball.com/2026/01/23/pure-vvols-migrations-from-vsphere-to-proxmox/. I said at the end of the last post I said I had a tool for this. Well here you go: https://github.com/PureStorage-OpenConnect/proxmox-vvol-migrator This tool gets installed on a Linux machine and hosts a web interface to do…
Proxmox Multipathing Storage Plugins
For those of us who have been around long enough multipathing in VMware environments has just been a thing that has worked. FC or iSCSI you knew what you had to do. iSCSI needs port binding and multiple initiator IPs. FC needs multiple HBAs and paths. It just became a way of life to configure…
Pure vVOLs Migrations From vSphere To Proxmox
I told you there were a few more of these. I was talking to my new manager Paul about some of the things that need to be documented. One of the items was what can Pure do from a migration perspective that others can’t. He mentioned a tool we use to do migrations and that…
Proxmox Multipath Plugin
I know this is like the 5th post in a week about Proxmox. Sorry everyone. I’m almost done I promise. Since I’ve been setting up multipathing on Proxmox on a number of protocols over the last couple of weeks I wanted a quick way to see the status of the paths. You can of course…
QuickStart Guides
I’ve been working on some docs related things over the past week. QuickStart guides for a number of things came up. The first was nvme-tcp. Specifically, on Proxmox but a lot of the same things can be used for most other Linux systems. This content is on my GitHub at https://github.com/khensler/Quickstart-Guides. And specifically this file:…
Proxmox, iSCSI, and multipathd
I’m sure all the grey (or gray? I don’t know you pick one) beards out there know all about multipathd and it’s quirks and in and outs. Since a lot of people appear to be looking at other hypervisor solutions these days I decided to put my opinion out there too. You of course don’t…
Linux NVME-TCP shared targets with LVM
I’ve been working on Proxmox the last few months and ran into an issue when using nvme-tcp volumes. I connected multiple hosts to a number of shared volumes. I’ve done this before using a number of different methods such as iscsi or shared managed disks on Azure. All of these just worked. When connecting to…
GPU over IP in AVS
I was working on my VMware Explore 2024 session about networking and needed a demo. You should come and see me at explore at my session or the Hands On Labs. I went through the “normal” things and got one demo done. My session is about networking so a lot of the demos I can…
Start a VMware VM to Safe Mode With Networking Automatically
Been having some internal conversation about the CrowdStrike outages. We needed a way to quickly boot VMs that were affected and allow them to get on the network for easy file deletion and reboots. So some of my colleagues and myself got to work on it. First we needed a way to set the boot…
resxtop on a modern Linux version?
Does anyone still use resxtop? VMware/Broadcom must not think so. The instructions for installation don’t include all the steps necessary for sure. The instructions are located here: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.monitoring.doc/GUID-194D583E-EFDC-44DF-AF3C-625974815766.html This may change as Broadcom updates all the doc pages. But for now it’s correct. The instructions for installation on Ubuntu are: Installing RESXTOP on Linux systems…
