Hey everyone. So, I am attempting to find a way to achieve redundancy on the drive that the proxmox is installed on. The device that I want to do this with is HP's Z8 Fury G5 Workstation Desktop. My initial thought was that I could use the device's Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU capability to create a mirror hardware RAID using two of the workstation's NVMe drives, which, I thought, would create a single, redundant disk instance that would be visible to the operating system. However, if you look at the product page for Intel Virtual RAID on CPU (will be referred to as Intel VROC for short going forward) linked above, the technology only supports certain configurations, and certain operating systems. While Ubuntu is one of the supported operating systems, Debian is, unfortunately, not. Indeed, the proxmox installation media is not able to detect the drive that is created using Intel VROC. So, I reach out to you, the community, to see if any of you can help me find an answer. Again, the goal is a proxmox server that remains online and functional in the event that the disk it is installed on fails, which is typically what a RAID configuration is supposed to accomplish. Has anyone been able implement such a solution in their own proxmox server? Any information would be great.

During install one can choose a ZFS mirror for boot. (Don’t mix ZFS and RAID)
It's recommended to mix make/model of SSD, so they don't both fail around the same time with identical wear patterns.
