Hello,
I'm new to proxmox and I'm amazed by the product!
I'm planning to configure a small proxmox cluster composed of 2 nodes (HP) with internal storage only to provide some proximity services to users. Is there anything to take into account ? any advice?
I already did:
- the basic setup of the cluster (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cluster_Manager#_create_the_cluster)
- configure the watchdog (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/High_Availability_Cluster_4.x#HP_ILO_.28module_.22hpwdt.22_.29)
Stupid question first, what is actually doing the watchdog ? is it a kind of fencing service ?
I understood from other posts in the forum than a two node cluster (as available in plain corosync) is not supported, what would be your advice for that ? I may consider adding a third small node that I have in spare, but if there is a way to avoid it, I would like to try it first.
Kind regards
