Proxmox Host Password Configuration

Date: 2025-01-20
Status: ✅ Configured and Verified

Password Configuration

Correct Hostname	Current Hostname	IP Address	Password	FQDN	Status
ml110	ml110	192.168.11.10	L@kers2010	ml110.sankofa.nexus	✅ Verified
r630-01	pve ⚠️	192.168.11.11	password	r630-01.sankofa.nexus	✅ Verified
r630-02	pve2 ⚠️	192.168.11.12	password	r630-02.sankofa.nexus	✅ Verified
r630-03	r630-03	192.168.11.13	L@kers2010	r630-03.sankofa.nexus	✅ Verified
r630-04	r630-04	192.168.11.14	L@kers2010	r630-04.sankofa.nexus	✅ Verified

Note: ⚠️ indicates hostname mismatch. r630-01 currently uses hostname pve and r630-02 uses pve2, but should be r630-01 and r630-02 respectively.

Configuration Files Updated

1. proxmox-hosts.conf

Location: smom-dbis-138-proxmox/config/proxmox-hosts.conf

Updated with password configuration:

PROXMOX_HOST_ml110_PASS="L@kers2010"
PROXMOX_HOST_pve_PASS="password"
PROXMOX_HOST_pve2_PASS="password"

2. Migration Scripts

• scripts/migrate-containers-to-pve2.sh - Uses ml110 password (migrations run from ml110)
• Migration commands (pct migrate) run from ml110 and handle node-to-node communication internally

Verification

All hosts have been verified with connectivity tests:

# Test all hosts
./scripts/test-all-hosts-password.sh

# Or use updated test script
./scripts/test-proxmox-hosts-updated.sh

Test Results: ✅ All hosts pass all connectivity tests (SSH, API, Proxmox tools)

Usage

Direct SSH Access

# Connect to ml110 (Management Node)
ssh root@192.168.11.10
# or: ssh root@ml110.sankofa.nexus
# Password: L@kers2010

# Connect to r630-01 (currently hostname: pve)
ssh root@192.168.11.11
# or: ssh root@r630-01.sankofa.nexus
# Password: password

# Connect to r630-02 (currently hostname: pve2)
ssh root@192.168.11.12
# or: ssh root@r630-02.sankofa.nexus
# Password: password

# Connect to r630-03
ssh root@192.168.11.13
# or: ssh root@r630-03.sankofa.nexus
# Password: L@kers2010

# Connect to r630-04
ssh root@192.168.11.14
# or: ssh root@r630-04.sankofa.nexus
# Password: L@kers2010

Using Scripts with Different Hosts

Most scripts use ml110 by default (PROXMOX_HOST=192.168.11.10), but you can override:

# Use specific host
PROXMOX_HOST=192.168.11.11 ./scripts/your-script.sh  # Use pve
PROXMOX_HOST=192.168.11.12 ./scripts/your-script.sh  # Use pve2

Migration Scripts

Migration scripts connect to ml110 (cluster coordinator) and use ml110's password. The pct migrate command handles node-to-node migrations internally, so no direct password access to target nodes is needed.

# Migration runs from ml110, uses ml110 password
./scripts/migrate-containers-to-pve2.sh

Security Notes

⚠️ Important:

• Passwords are stored in configuration files
• Consider using SSH keys for better security
• For production, use Proxmox API tokens instead of passwords
• Keep configuration files secure and out of version control if possible

Next Steps

1. ✅ Passwords configured and verified
2. ✅ All hosts accessible
3. ✅ Migration scripts ready
4. ⏳ Proceed with container migrations when ready
