Dear Proxmox forum,

I installed an educational Proxmox 3-node cluster environment for ca. 200 users.
Each user has 3 systems to administer.
I would like to use this environment during tests.


Question 1: Is it possible to give all 200 users simultaneously acces to the proxmox web-interface on port 8006 or is there some restriction on the number of accessed users? If there is a restriction is there a way to extend this limit?
Question 2: If all 200 users/students have acces to the proxmox web-interface would it be possible to have them, all 200, to open the consoles to their 3 systems without performance impact on the proxmox nodes?

Thanks for the response.

Few questions:

1. What kid of hardware are these nodes? 200 users w/ 3 VM's a piece could get..well, rough.
2. What kind of storage do you have backing these?
3. Is there a reason you can't simply give the users the IP addresses of their VM's, and have them access them through whatever is good for the os? RDP, VNC, NX, etc. Setting IP's or Hostnames could easily be done via Saltstack/ansible/kickstarts, etc
 
Few answers:
1. each server has 24 cores and 160GB of memory
2. DS2440 with 6TB as storage system
3. If "the students" need to change the IP address of their server during the exercises => Console is really necessary

I hope this can help?

kr,

Rudi
