Direct network between Servers.

[tomc]

Hi all
I have setup my first ZFS Proxmox install on 2 Test Servers.
A couple of old Dell beasts.
They each have 4 X 136Gb SAS Drives.
Only 6GB ram at the moment.
I have installed PM5.1 on both and that is where I am up to at the moment.
I have not installed any VM's yet and I have not formatted the 3 other drives in each system.
I have to read up on my ZFS for dummies.
The IP address for the Servers.
Srv01=10.0.0.19
Srv02=10.0.0.18
Both have internet access and I have run
apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade, on each.
I am wanting to direct connect the two via the second NIC on each Server.
What is the best settings to do this please?
And, I am assuming I then use the IP's I give these Nics when creating a Cluster.
Any assistance gratefully accepted...

ZFS will need minimum 4 GB( 8 GB are recommended) + 1GB for each used TB disk space.

Yes you can do this.
Just connect the two nodes and set up the second nic in the GUI on each node with a ip address.
