I am new to PVE and would like to install it on my barebone PC Shuttle DS10U. The device has two LAN ports and - as usual - with one MAC address each. But during the setup of Proxmox is always displayed only one MAC address. Even when the LAN cable is plugged into the port of the other. This is...

I have been looking at purchasing a HP Z800 workstation. The idea of have 12 cores/24 threads sounds like I can really be productive. I have yet to get the correct storage layout, but it would seem that the Z800 has only 4 drive bays and no real room to add for instance, a 1TB boot HD for...
