I would like to know if Proxmox has a documentation for the list of supported hardware platforms to check if my server and storage is supported to run Proxmox VE.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hey,
PVE is debian based, so it'll run wherever linux runs, and that's also what is supported. So basically everywhere. We have some basic system requirements[1] in our docs, but other than that there is no such thing as a compatibility matrix or the like.

Thanks Hannes, to follow up I would also like to know if below diagram is a supported config by Proxmox
yes sure, you need to expose a big lun on both side, configure multipath, and add a lvm shared storage on top.
(No snapshot && no thin provisioning yet, it should be available in pve9)
Just be carefull, you need a third node to keep quorum (proxmox cluster is 3 nodes minimum), don' t need to be attached to your storage.

Thank you for the response.
But two nodes will work right when connected to a shared storage? 3 nodes are needed if I will configure them as HyperConverged/Ceph?

no, you need to have at least three nodes if you want to be able to tolerate one node going down.
You can check the ubuntu certified hardware list. because the default pve kernel (6.8) is based on ubuntu lts kernel this should at least give you a hint.

Note that there might be more pitfalls than you have on your agenda. From my (non-user of Ceph now) point of view Ceph needs more than the absolute minimum of three nodes, at least on the long run: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/fabu-can-i-use-ceph-in-a-_very_-small-cluster.159671/
