Are you aware that you can already implement kind of immutability with an offsite PBS and pull-syncs? For this to work you don't even need to open any ports on the offsite PBS firewall as long as it can reach the port 8007 on your local PBS...
Best practice is to wipe the node, remove it from the cluster, install a fresh Proxmox with a new name and IP address and add it to the cluster as a new node. This procedure is the same regardless of which hardware parts are reused.
This does not match my own observations. (With a small sample size and w/o an explicit test. I just see cheap devices dying with a much higher frequency rate than expensive ones, specifically with PLP - and specifically in the PVE context.)

is over WAN ?
PBS must be fast, because changed data in VM is blocked because need to be written to first to PBS.
There is "Fleecing" option on the PVE side to mitigate this.
The greatest mistake one can make is to try and forklift VMware into a Proxmox environment.
You will forever be chasing your tail trying to get Proxmox to 'work' the same as VMWare.
Start the process with a clean Proxmox install and then look...
I cannot answer that as "it depends", sorry.
On all of my PVEs the host handles (local) storage, exclusively. In my Homelab the largest storage (in the cluster) is served by an LXC container (not: VM) to some clients. The host owns the storage...
Okay, hab meinen Fehler gefunden.
Es gab ein LXC auf einer anderen physischen Proxmox-Maschine mit derselben IP-Adresse wie mein PBS, allerdings lauschte dieses LXC an einem anderen Port. Ich habe das korrigiert und nun läuft das BPS-GUI und...
Correct. That's another thing I would never do or recommend :-)
(( With one single exception from my personal point of view: teaching/learning/testing/debugging. I have a virtual cluster with six "hosts" = zfs-on-zfs. It works surprisingly...
Well, your signature and our previous conversations suggest something different.
It's rather irrelevant anyway.
But we do agree that a ZFS running on a ZFS base isn't exactly a performance marvel, right? Even though ZFS offers many undeniable...
You should always pass-through a controller, never disks.

Hi, @skraw
I wonder if you really mean atime... Though you wrote "atime" both in the subject and inside the post.
But by default, rsync's decision whether to copy a file or not, doesn't depend on atime. It depends on mtime (and the size).

"nic0" is DOWN - usually this means that it has to connection to a switch. Check that cable; look for LEDs showing "Link" established - on both ends. Use another cable if that fails. ... ...
