I have set up two nodes with a third PC providing shared iSCSI using OpenFiler.
Generally I am very impressed with Proxmox, having looked at Virtualbox, Xen, Xenserver, Oracle VM, "raw" KVM. It very nearly provides exactly what I want in a very neat package.
I would like HA, but understand that is on its way.
Just a couple of questions:
I'm finding that migrating a VM to the other node is slow. I didn't do any timings, but it didn't seem much faster with shared storage than with VM hosted on local node.
Also, I tried pulling the network on a node and then migrating a VM from that node to the remaining "live" node; my thinking being that if the VM is hosted on shared storage then that should work. But it failed because the original host node was unavailable.
I would be interested to know if these observations are as expected because I assumed the cluster would provide a benifit in each case...
Many thanks,
