raid

Good day! I need a compact and roomy server at the same time. I plan to transfer Proxmox to a Mini pc (it is possible to install only NVME & 1x 2.5 SDD/HDD), but for VM NAS Xpenology I need several HDDs in RAID. And so the idea came up to connect a Type-C or USB 4 docking station with RAID...

Hi, I finally got a brand new hardware with an hardware raid controller PERC H355. I read you should not use hardware raid with PVE. Can you advise me about using (or not) this PERC H355 ? Will it be more reliable to use it in some way (ie, RAID0 instead of RAID1) ? Totally remove it ? And...

Introduction Hello all, first time poster. I'll do my best to explain myself and ask the right questions, but I apologize in advance if I end up all over the place! History For probably 5 years I've just had a 4u rack-mount server running some older hardware with 4x 3tb drives shared on my...

Hi Guys, Soon I want to build a Low-Power Server with one of those Erying Motherboards. Since I live in Germany and Energy is expensive here, I'm kind of compromised in the Storage Setup. This Setup is only used for an SMB Share that's connected via a 10Gig SFP+ Card. I will add a list at the...

Hello team! I have an HP server, we installed proxmox on 2 1tb disks that have a RAID1 created in the server bios. Eventually, we put in one more disk to have more virtual machines. But this disk was connected without doing Raid or anything and everything worked. But yesterday, they added 2 new...

Dear Community, I want to set up a new PVE environment and I´m not sure about the correct caching configuration. I´m using the Adaptec ASR-71605 hardware RAID controller (RAID 1 and 2x SSD) with an integrated BBU and 1 GB of Cache. What is the best configuration in my case? If I understand...

Hello, I have a server running Proxmox with two VMs (Ubuntu& Homeassistant) for home use. Currently all VMs and PVE are running on a single SSD. I am considering to install a RAID array of HDDs on the server to have the server also function as a NAS - though still have a question about this and...

Erstmal ein freundliches Hallo an alle. Habe mich gerade neu hier angemeldet in der Hoffnung dass ich nicht falsch bin und mir hier mit etwas Inspiration bzw. Orientierung gedient werden kann. Folgendes: Ich habe mit ein neues System gebaut auf dem ich Proxmox installieren will. Intel i5-7600K...

My build started off a as an Unraid server but I'm now reconsidering going back to an earlier idea of running Promox as my hyper visor. Right now I have the CPU/MOBO/RAM and 4x NVME drives. In the coming weeks I plan on purchasing the HBA controller along with 8-12 SAS drives. I'm looking for...

Hi All, I would like to know your recommendations for the installation of Proxmox inside a DL380 G10 Server. All drives are SSD. (Raid 10 could be my best path, as for the implementation of the disks?) Which raid is recommended to use, both windows servers (and BBDD) and Linux servers will be...

I have a very specific and strange problem and ita kinda urgent to solve it in a timely manner. Yesterday I encountered a kernel panic on my proxmox server looking at server management logs apparently there was a power outage and ups was out of service for maintenance booting to the default...

Hello! I'm considering picking up an Asus Barebone PN52 for a low power homelab (I have an enormous homelab, but electricity prices has gone up, so I can't keep it up at the moment). It can fit an NVME drive as well as a 2.5" drive. I am considering getting a 1TB SATA SSD (Samsung 870 EVO...

Hi all, I've been searching for a solution for the past week and I'm still running around circles. I'm running ProxMox 7.2-11 on a Dell T710. The server used to have 8 1GB drives in RAID5 (total space 7TB). When installing ProxMox I've created a 7TB LVM, which I then split into smaller...

Hi everyone! I just bought a server and installed Proxmox VE on a ssd device. Now I want to run only one VM with Windows Server 2022. The VM should be stored on my Microchip Adaptec SmartRAID 3101E-4i Controller with 4 SATA SSD devices, which I turned into a RAID10. That worked very easy. The...

Hi, I'm a new user to Proxmox, I haven't installed yet, just currently building the server it will sit on. Given Proxmox supports ZFS, should I use a RAID enabled controller, and let that deal with RAIDing the drives? Or should I use a RAID card flashed to IT mode, and allow ZFS to handle the...
