    [SOLVED] Install Proxmox to SSD and then add another SSD for RAID-1 later?

    I have a server I've installed Proxmox onto that has one SSD for the main system installation. I'd like to add an identical drive in a month to mirror my base install as a software RAID-1 (raidz maybe?) so I don't have any down time for when the primary SSD fails. Can this be done, and if so, how?

    Proxmox Install "breaks?" RAID1 install on Dell OptiPlex 9020. "Degraded" osmirror on fresh install.

    I configured 2 SSDs in RAID1 on my hardware controller. After Proxmox install, the RAID volume shows up as "degraded" (Fig. 1) on the controller. The SMART values (Fig. 2) reflect that one drive is being used but not the other. I had the RAID controller "repair" the degraded mirror, but that...

    ZFS Pool Handling

    I have a new HP-Server, with a "fake" Software-RAID-Controller. So I often read that the software-raid and Proxmox are not the best friends, so I decided to install Proxmox with ZFS-Storage-Pool. Everything alright so far, but I usually used to install Proxmox on a Hardware-Raid, so no idea...

    Hello, I'm deploying a new cluster with 3 machines, each one having 64GB RAM + 2x512GB NVMe SSD. The VMs that will run on the cluster will use about 70-80% of available RAM, so there will be little spare RAM left (4-8 GB). I would like to use ZFS, as it's supported by Proxmox, but I'm afraid...
