Jjdancer replied to the thread ESXi → Proxmox migration: Host CPU vs x86-64-v4-AES performance & 10 Gbit VirtIO speeds.Per https://www.proxmox.com/en/services/training-courses/videos/proxmox-virtual-environment/whats-new-in-proxmox-ve-9-1 for Windows Server 2025 VMs, you'll want to enable the nested-virt flag under Extra CPU Flags options.

Jjdancer replied to the thread ddr4 intel optane.Since Proxmox is Debian with an Ubuntu LTS kernel, it should work. If it was me, I would just go straight to flash storage and skip it. I do, however use the Intel Optane P1600X as a ZFS RAID-0 OS drive for Proxmox without issues.

Jjdancer replied to the thread VMware user here.If you plan on using shared storage, your officially Proxmox supported options are Ceph & ZFS (they do NOT work with RAID controllers like the Dell PERC). Both require an IT/HBA-mode controller. I use a Dell HBA330 in production with no issues.

Jjdancer replied to the thread Dedicated Migration Network vs. High Speed Storage Network: Do I need two separate VLANs when Clustering?.Technically, you do not if this is a home lab, which I am guessing it is. Now, it is considered best production practice to separate the various network into their own VLANs especially with Corosync with it's own isolated network switches...

Jjdancer replied to the thread H330 sas controller failed after upgrading to Kernel 6.17.2-2-pve.Better off with a Dell HBA330. It's a LSI 3008 IT-mode controller chip anyhow. Just make sure to update the firmware to lastest version at dell.com/support

Jjdancer replied to the thread The SSD search continues ....As was mentioned, getting new drive is "nice" but not really required. With a reputable enterprise flash drive, getting it used is fine. I have used 5-year-old Intel enterprise SSDs and they still show 100% life. At home, I use Intel Optane...

Jjdancer replied to the thread The SSD search continues ....This thread at https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/enterprise-ssd-small-deals.48343 has a list of enterprise SSDs for sale. Another option is getting a server that supports U.2/U.3 flash drives. They can be surprisingly cheaper...

Jjdancer replied to the thread H740p mini and SAS Intel SSD PX05SMB040.As I mentioned before, so much drama with PERC controllers in HBA-mode. Just swap them out for a Dell HBA330 true IT-mode storage controller. Your future self will thank you. They are cheap to get.

Jjdancer replied to the thread [Help] Dell R740 + Broadcom BCM5720 NDC - Ports Active (Lights On) but Not Detected by Proxmox.I use Dell Intel X550 rNDC in production without issues. Both the 2x1GbE-2x10GbE and 4x10GbE versions. The 10GbE uses the ixgbe driver and the 1GbE uses the igb driver. Use 'dmesg -t' to confirm. Obviously flash the rNDC to the latest firmware...
