    Ok, that did not directly come to mind to be honest, but it is very understandable at the moment. Our customers when migrating away from Hyper-V or VMware environments usually do this when they need to replace their hardware after 5-8 years. In...

    I am a little confused by your response so just checking if we are on the same level here... You can set up like for example: PVE01 > Hypervisor, packages for qnetdevice, LINBIT packages, ... PVE02 > Hypervisor, packages for qnetdevice, LINBIT...

    Why don't you look into LINBIT / Linstor (DRBD)? > https://linbit.com/blog/linstor-setup-proxmox-ve-volumes/ It's pretty easy to setup if you need a 2 cluster setup and have small device for quorum, we combine this quorum with Proxmox Backup Server.

    Select disk 0 and 1 and click on Create Virtual Disk, and again for disk 2 and 3 (based on slot numbering) You could have 2x RAID 1 (don't mix them). If you have an option somewhere to select where to boot from it will probably be listed as VD0...

    Well it depends on the exact storage config, I am getting a little confused about your setup because earlier your said you have your disk passthrough directly (i'll read entire post again if i have some more time :)). Example: RAID Controller...

    I did not yet know about this issue, also did not come across any problems yet, need to check which VirtIO version it is running at customers (they have MS SQL but I think not yet fully updated.) Thanks!

    To "squeeze" it out as much as possible: Change SCSI to VirtIO. Seperate your SQL data on separated virtual disks (OS, Data, Log, TempDB) with alignement for SQL Server (8KB pages) And please put your disks in a mirror before going into a...

    Ok, but cache=writeback is something you need to be very carefull with. You have your disks passed through directly to ZFS without HBA or RAID controllers which is considered best practice but: In a classic setup with a RAID controller some of...

    I am not really sure what you mean by this... If you currently have 2x 1.8TB disks (SSD?) and they are already in a zpool (raid1 / mirror) then you do not need to delete everything and start over, what I did was creating a block device (zvol) on...

    Steven-b replied to the thread Windows Server 2025 → considering a migration to Proxmox VE.
    You could do a replication setup, minimal replication time could be 1 minute and if you could add a quorum (qnet-device, i do this with Proxmox Backup Server) than in case of a node failure your VM's will automatically start up on your other...
