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?

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.

They are brand new enterprise disks. # zpool status -v pool: rpool state: ONLINE status: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error. An attempt was made to correct the error. Applications are unaffected. action: Determine if the device needs to be replaced, and...

Installed proxmox on four new enterprise sata drives in ZFS raid 10 like array using the proxmox-ve_5.3-1.iso installer. I updated to latest version using apt-get and rebooted. Then I added a few test VMs to it. It ran for a week perfectly. Rebooted it yesterday then received this error and...

I tried two different iso releases. I also tried different hardware. It’s like it does not like a raid6 like zfs Install.
