    NFS storage errors in logs (pvestatd: WARNING: storage is not online)

    Could it be that the NIC connections on your NFS shares are saturated and Proxmox cannot connect? I would have dedicated storage for only Proxmox if i was running VMs from them.

    Infrastructure for redundant NAS?

    Starting with Proxmox 2.2

    If you are looking to use this to test proxmox, the spec you ahve provided should be plenty... i have several nodes in my cluster with 16GB RAM, and even some with only 8GB RAM. Are you planning on using shared storage in the future? (needed for live migration/HA) The onboard LSI raid...

    One of our proxmox servers is dead and I can't access the gui on our other server

    What version of proxmox are you running? Whats happened to Server #1? Are Server #1 and Server #2 identical spec? Is there any chance of fixing Server #1 or putting the disks from server #1 into server #2?

Question 1: Nope. thats how my two clusters...
