Is it possible to manage non-proxmox hypers

[rong.zhao]

Hi,
I am really a newbie on proxmox, recently, I am evaluating virtualization management platform for my team.

We have about 1000 hypervisors, more than 10000 virtual machines. They are based on KVM, what I want to do is migrating them into a good virtualization platform, such as openstack, proxmox.

Openstack is doable, but it is too heavy to move, proxmox looks lightweight, and I downloaded proxmox5.4.1, and installed to try.

However, not sure if I have misunderstanding, I found only proxmox node can only join proxmox, I want to know if it is possible to manage other nodes without running proxmox on that hyper? Because I cannot re-install OS of all hypers..

I have read document, cannot find any clue.

Do you have any suggestion? Or correct me if I am not in right direction.

Thanks in advance.

sorry, it's not possible. you can only manage proxmox nodes in a proxmox cluster.

(proxmox don't even use libvirt, so you need to recreate config file, rename disks to proxmox format).


(maybe try opennebula, I think it's possible to only use it as a management tool)

Thank you very much for confirming.
