Is this a good machine for a home lab? Just want to run a few low load rocky linux 9/10 VMs. I figured install proxmox on the m.2 ssd with ZFS and use it for VMs. Like compression that ZFS offers. Add a 2.5 sata drive for backups. The one I ordered has an intel i5 8th generation. Also has 16gb...

Will a "HP ProDesk 600 G1 DM Desktop Mini i5-4590T" run Proxmox and support KVM?

Looking to purchase a refurbished economical desktop to run Proxmox at home for testing. Was looking on amazon. Anyone have suggestions?

Say I have 3 drive slots. For random I/O would I be better off with ZFS RAID1 over 2 drives or ZFS RAID5 over 3 drives? Last time I tried to setup RAID1 over 3 drives on Proxmox it would not work.

Each server has 4 sata drives in simple ZFS RAID 6 style array. I do have 1gbps connectivity on both of them.

I need to move a large VM from one server to a newer one in different location. Is there a way to stop the VM and move it to new server and restart on new server? The backup process seems to take a very long time so I was looking for a faster method.

I installed Proxmox 6.0-1 on an older Supermicro server using ISO image. Used ZFS and several drives in ZFS raid array configured from the proxmox install GUI. On boot I get this every time. Command: /sbin/zpool import -N 'rpool' Message: cannot import 'rpool' : no such pool available Error...

I have Proxmox 5.3 installed on 4 drives configured in a raid6 like array. Say one drive is throwing errors. How do I remove and replace just that single drive? When I installed proxmox were all drives in array configured to be bootable? How can I insure the replacement is also?

Any updates to this procedure for latest version of proxmox? Would be nice if this was in the wiki.

I have an OVA image file. How do I go about loading that into Proxmox?

Looking here: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ZFS_on_Linux Assuming the ssd drive is sdc. # parted /dev/sdc (parted) rm 1 # removed all partitions from ssd one by one if any (parted) mktable gpt (parted) mkpart logical File system type? [ext2]? Start? 0% End? 16G (parted) quit # ls -la...

I have a simple install of Proxmox on four SATA drives in a raid z2 array. As I understand adding an SSD based ZIL device will greatly improve write speeds? How do I add the device? Is this correct assuming default ZFS setup was used when installed? zpool add rpool log /dev/sde If I...

Smart Values: UDMA_CRC_Error_Count = 555 Shows 555 errors for this drive. This will be the 3rd drive that has failed in this machine over last 3+ years though. Its Supermicro case, power supply and motherboard. The power supply was bundled with case.
