    Full mesh as failover cluster network

    Hi there, I'm building a new 3 node PVE cluster. I already have a full mesh prepared for live migrations, Is it possible to use this full mesh as a failover network for the cluster itself? In the WebUI at "Create Cluster" it doesn't seem to be possible to add both mesh links. Thanks and greets!

    [SOLVED] ZFS raidz1: Expanding not possible?

    Hi there, a few months ago we built up a new PBS with a bunch of U.2 NVMe. I naively thought ZFS must be the way to go creating the storage for the datastore. So I created this storage: # zpool status nvme-pool pool: nvme-pool state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired 0B in 04:34:39 with 0...

    dedicated network for backup

    Hi there, is there a way to put the proxmox backup on a seperate network (interface)? At the moment it seems that it's going through the same network as the management GUi - and in our case this is just 1GBit/s, while there are 10 GBit/s possibilities waiting for work. :) Thanks and greets Stephan
