I have the same issue, is there any resolution to this?

This exactly what I needed thank you for the help!

Hey all, hopefully a quick answer. I am looking to get 3 SSD's into raidz0, this will be a vm pool to reduce the ridiculous io delay I have now. I do have a solid redundancy strategy and backup system already in place. Would someone be able to point me to the cli commands or gui setup to make...

So I was thinking something like this https://www.fsplifestyle.com/en/product/TwinsPRO500W.html.

So, Ive been thinking about this too. The one solution I found was https://www.fsplifestyle.com/en/product/TwinsPRO500W.html . The reality is that this is the most redundancy that I need. If Anything else goes it can be replaced more economically than keeping more machines going.

Maybe it would clarify if I explained what I’m working with now to give a scaling idea I have 2 4u rosewill cases. System 1 is a Xeon server with a disk array. System 2 is a ryzen server with a 3080. System 1 handles all website, application and service needs and system two is the rdp and...

By small low-power boxes do you mean within existing server additions or another u unit?

Great reference! Potential wake on pci could enable the cu (potentially). Is there any reason nuc’s couldn’t be used as “prod” server or proxmox backup server?

isn’t 5v need for x16 or is that a signal line?

Oh I see what you mean, from a functionally point though if I’m adding just one node I have 5v and 3.3v on an empty slot might worth doing that over creating and replacing an entire server

So we are sorta back to burning pci ports for power, which I mean if you need multiple nodes that works. I wonder if a board could be created specific to this idea where you could isolate pci ports to compute nodes and have graphics cards or whatever linked

But how would that work communication with pci? Could you mix nics, gpu and cu? Not to split but dedicate between different cu?

Do you think there is a better way to do something similar? The idea is to save rack space, increase density and keep costs down

Funny you say that, I found this video -https://youtu.be/pB-zBSExMS4 which shows taping off some pins to be able to work in a pci slot. Though throwing away a slot essentially but it increases the amount of computer possible within the chassis itself

Hey all, so I recent became aware of the pci compute element intel nuc. If these function like i hope this would add a lot of compute density to my 4u server. Everything I’m thinking is in proxmox but I do not want to have to virtualize this within a copy of proxmox but instead act as if it were...
