    Thanks much for sharing the screenshot @Orphée. I’ve never been able to see these logs yet. I always look at the Console tab appearing just above the Hardware menu item on the left menu bar, which is the novnc console.

    The Console button on the right as you pointed out on the screenshot seems to be the serial port output then?

    Did you enable serial on the Proxmox VM ?

    
    qm set vm_id -serial0 socket

     

    (vm_id is the VM's number, eg : 101)

     

    Then just near "start" button, you should have "console" button. Open it just after the VM starts, and leave it open until the VM crash.

    The console windows should catch latest lines before crash.

    @Orphée I’ve set up the serial socket but the console only shows till “Booting into Linux” and nothing further when the DSM VM boots.

    Are you referring to something else or this vnc console?

    DSM is starting fine but crashes spontaneously after running for some time, which ranges from 4 mins to 9 hours. Sometimes I see the confounded e1000e hardware hang messages on proxmox syslog, sometimes not.
    But the DSM crash happens inevitably and all I get is an email from DSM (which I’ve configured) warning about an “improper shutdown”. 

    The crash is so frequent sometimes that DSM automatically goes to data scrubbing mode to check data integrity, and the crash happens yet again after sometime.

    As of now I’ve shut everything down to prevent potential data loss.

    Any pointers are wholeheartedly welcome!!

    @Orphée keen to hear if you’ve any tips?

    sure, its a config for proxmox, you can add the serial com port to your proxmox vm as in the link and thats it, ready to use

    dsm is meant to be used as a headless system, all important output is sent to the serial console when booting

    Awesome man. Will give it a try when I’m back into the arena!

    on all my computers if UEFI only is set without CSM active, no boot with the Tinycore loader works. Have Tinycore separately downloaded is on the image. Tinycore gives the larger image here, UEFI is properly supported. Once the image is compiled, the UEFI boot works.

    UEFI boot worked perfectly with v0.4.5 image on my Intel NUC, I had to turn off secure boot though.

    What do you mean by improper shutdown ? while DSM starting ? after couple of minutes ? when shutting it down ?

    I started with Proxmox 7.1-0 I think and kept them updated and am now on the latest 7.1-8. I do not have a subscription for any of my 3 nodes.  Two nodes use a Xeon E1275v5 and 32gb ram, the third uses a Intel i5-9500T and 32gb ram. All nodes use a Melanox 10gbps nic. I can't say that I experience any issues at all.  One of the 1275v2 Nodes has my main DSM VM with a passthough LSI adapter.   Before Proxmox, the nodes were operated as vSphere Cluster with a generated serial number - while this didn't bother me in the beginning it did after a while and I was looking for an open source solution. PVE uses KVM under the hood. May cloud solutions (AWS, every OpenStack Cloud) use it to provision and run their compute instances , so it can't be that bad.. can it?

     

    Thus said, what details are you exactly looking for?

     

     

    Thanks for responding @haydibe. I’m running into the Intel Nuc e1000e hardware hang issue which has started to affect the stability of the whole PVE environment all of a sudden. I was using kernel 5.13.9-4. Rolled back to 5.13.9-3 and -2 as well without respite. Seems like I need to reinstall proxmox 7 from the downloaded iso if the this helps. Else I need to turn off the checksum offloading as explained in some workarounds.

    max. 8 threads for 918+ but when using a hypervisor you can still use the other cores for whatever you have on that hypervisor (homeautomation, ...)

    maybe esxi is more in your direction, running in a lot of commercial environments and its not so likely to be derailed by updates

    @IG-88 what happens if the motherboard has more resources than supported by ds918+? Should be a common scenario for bare metal installations.

    If I boot up the ssh connection to the TC RP through the MacOS terminal and try the second time, as shown below,
    I always meet the "Host key verification failed" message.
    Each time, the file is erased with "sudorm ~/.ssh/known_hosts" and the tc account is accessed again.
    Is there a way to solve this annoying process?

    IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!

    Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!

    It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.

    The fingerprint for the ECDSA key sent by the remote host is

    SHA256:aJjrEGc32kaag1Hpy2C9Rz7A4NrXKo+w7Vu9Vgi5cUU.

    Please contact your system administrator.

    Add correct host key in /Users/yousuk/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.

    ECDSA host key for 192.168.35.53 has changed and you have requested strict checking.

    @Peter Suh You need to delete the previously stored key from your authorized_hosts file in the $HOME/.sshd dir. This generally appears as a line starting with the IP address of the node your trying to ssh to. Deleting this line should fix your problem as this will be updated the next time you login successfully with the new key.

     

    Having said that, the tinycore boot process regenerates the PKI key pair every time it boots which I think shouldn’t be the case. Perhaps @pocopico has other reasons of making it this way?

    Yeah VMware is an option indeed but then have to figure out a lot of things like pci passthrough etc. Also the free version has limitations

    What’s the max RAM that ds918+ can work with? After crashing 12 times in as many hours I’ve given up on Proxmox and want to go bare metal on my Intel Nuc 10, which has 32GB RAM.

    @haydibe you had inspired me to take the proxmox path 😀 and after a short lived bliss the environment has unfortunately become unusable.

    Curious about your proxmox environment. Which version are you using? Can you please share the details?

     

    Also do you know how much hardware the ds918+ can cope up with? I plan to throw Intel i7 12 cores and 32 GB RAM at it if I’m forced to take the bare metal route.

    Why don't you update to the final version of 0.4.5.1?
    Please proceed when asking for an online update to 0.4.5.1 in version 0.4.5 distribution.
    Is it only using built-in SATA without HBA?

    Thanks much for responding @Peter Suh

    I’ve passed the entire HBA PCI controller to the VM which has been working perfectly so far.

    Regarding the upgrade to 0.4.5.1, I need to download the new image right? Or the existing 0.4.4 image can be upgraded using rploader update (after clean)?

  13. After running the ds918+ off the 0.4.4 image on Proxmox 7 for flawlessly for about a month now, the DSM VM spontaneously started to crash numerous times, over the last 12 hours.

    I see improper shutdown messages on the DSM log. On the host nothing unusual on the syslog or dmesg.

    I can’t remember to have done anything to the environment and am absolutely clueless about where to start troubleshooting. 
     

    Please help 🙏

    Can I to ask about UPS connection via usb? I have APC CS-500 that normally worked on my N54L Jun 1.0.3 loader DSM-3615 6.2.3 , but after migration to 7.0.1 redpill loader UPS isn't connect watching into DSM. Have anybody the same problem, and any ideas how to fix?

    No issues here with APC UPS: DSM 7/ds918+

    But lower bandwidth from PVE -> DSM and retries seems to be consistent with your findings.

     

    @haydibeDo you get the link speed displayed on DSM?

    Thanks for checking @dodo-dk

     

    Perhaps we're using different parameters as in my case transfer is more and bitrate is less:

    I used on DSM: 

    iperf3 -s -f G

    onn PVE host:

    iperf3 -c 192.168.1.xxx -f G

     

    Mine is different and also getting lot or retries;

    [ ID] Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Retr
    [  5]   0.00-10.00  sec  54.3 GBytes  5.43 GBytes/sec  1477             sender
    [  5]   0.00-10.00  sec  54.3 GBytes  5.43 GBytes/sec                  receiver

    both for PVE Host <-> DSM7 VM and inter VM (Ubuntu VM <-> DSM)

    Thoughts? Maybe master @haydibe has an idea?

     

    On the cosmetic side, link speed isn't showing up anymore in Control Panel -> Network -> Network Interface (used to show 100Mbps here when I was using RTL8139)
