storage design

Please forgive me, as I'm a total beginner. I'm wondering best practices/feedback on using one disk as the storage for multiple VMs and CTs. Here's what I have right now: /dev/sdc is used for backups. /dev/sdd is used for security cam storage. Things get a bit funky with ZFS formatted disk...

Dear Proxmox community, After several searches in the forum, I couldn't find much information regarding ZFS storage and its performance tuning. Thus, I'd like to start this thread to share best practices, tests, and tunning tips on how you design your data storage. Recently, I built a home...

Hello folks, totally new to proxmox clustering and just recently got 2 mini pcs for a home lab. As I was setting up the ceph cluster installation when I got to creating the osd, i couldn't target any disks as the single 1TB SSD I have is in use by proxmox. I followed the default configs for...

I am on a path to migrate 15x ESXi servers (With vcenter / Distributed networking / cluster) and 200TB FC SSD SAN, with Proxmox virtualization. I am facing lots of challenges with the lack of a "good filesystem" like VMFS. I have my first 2 PVE servers up running with Multipath, and LVM in...

Hey everyone, after reading a lot and coming to the conclusion... Running a 2 node cluster productively with replicated storage (sync) is not feasible. I have the possibility to build a hardware setup with 3 nodes as follows, whereby these are really the *maximum* possible hardware capacities...

I added an NFS mount in the storage.cfg on proxmox7.4. This shared storage is now available to all hosts, as I wanted too. I can then bind mount it to the containers as I wished. After a while, that this NFS is already in use, I updated the options of the NFS in the storage.cfg, namely the...

We currently plan on implementing a new small-scale cluster for mixed VM workloads. The goal is to be able to add compute nodes as needed while maintaining a central ("shared") storage for all VM images. That being said, we want to build some sort if small VDI infrastructure with the ability to...
