Did you prep the VM before migration? See my reply at https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/debian-11-not-booting-with-virtio-scsi-single-but-works-with-vmware-pvscsi.144806/#post-652170

It does work. Have it running in production in a couple of Dell R530s running PBS. Make sure it's running the latest firmware, delete any virtual disks, and switch it to HBA-mode. It uses the megaraid SAS driver. A better option is a Dell HBA330 which is a pure HBA controller. I use this on...

I use Intel NICs in production except for the 700-series on Dell servers without issues. I do have Dell servers with Broadcom 1GbE which work fine but don't have having any 10/25GbE Broadcoms in production. May want to ask your question on Reddit.

At work, migrated from VMware to Proxmox. The question was which filesystem provides native snapshots? For standalone servers, it was ZFS. For clusters, it was Ceph. I think of Ceph as an open-source version of vSAN. Researched Ceph and find out it wants homogeneous hardware. So made sure the...

May also want to ask your question on Reddit's r/ceph

Took a look at the SCv3020 manual and it seems this storage unit supports direct connection to SAS. Proxmox should be able to see each individual drive. I use ZFS in production on standalone servers for its data/metadata error checking, compression, and snapshots. For max IOPS, I use ZFS...

At work, I'm involved with migrating Dells from VMware to Proxmox. I just make sure all hardware and firmware is the same (CPU, NIC, Storage, RAM, etc). I do swap out the PERC for Dell HBA330. I use two small drives and use ZFS RAID-1 for Proxmox. Rest of drives are for VMs/data. ZFS provides...

I use Supermicros at work and at home without issues. Also use Dells at work without issues. Supermicro configurator at wiredzone.com

Should just work since the 9300 uses the LSI 3008 chipset which works with mpt2sas driver. I use the Dell HBA330 in production which has the same chipset and runs without issues.

I stood up a 3-node full-mesh broadcast Ceph Squid test cluster using these instructions https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Full_Mesh_Network_for_Ceph_Server#Broadcast_Setup Zero issues. I did use a 169.254.3.0/24 network for Ceph public, private, & Corosync traffic since 169.254.0.0/16 is a IPv4...

ZFS provides bit-rot protection, snapshots, and compression. I use a H200 (flashed to IT-mode) in a Dell R200 as a bare-metal Proxmox Backup Server using ZFS RAID-1. No issues.

Another option is ZFS replication at intervals. It won't be real-time replication like Ceph though. I've ran Ceph using 1GbE full-mesh broadcast network on 14-year old servers and it worked surprisingly well. I don't recommend it for production though.

It is but I do have experience managing proprietary hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) platforms at work like VMware vSAN and Nutanix AHV. I'm also involved with another project at work in which they are migrating to Hyper-V HCI. Can't beat Proxmox & Ceph as a HCI platform.

Reason I brought up Supermicro at all was that they offer a range of motherboards from mini-ITX to ATX form factors. You can optionally get 10GbE networking (both wired & optic), SAS controller (for more drives), and either an embedded or socketed CPU. I use a Supermicro 5019S-M-G1585L as a...

I run Proxmox on 12th, 13th, & 14th-gen Dells at work. Can't beat used 13th-gen Dells for the value. For example, the R730xd. Can use the rear drives for mirroring Proxmox and front drives for data/VMs. Can replace the PERC with HBA330 for true IT-mode storage controller. Can optionally get...
