Hello everybody,

[FONT=comic sans ms, sans-serif]this is the first time that I will use Proxmox for a server virtualization project.[/FONT]


I would like to use two identical servers with ​a​
NAS to manage VMs​.




I want to use this type of server:




​HP ProLiant ML350p Gen8 Intel Xeon E5-2609v2 4-Core (2.50GHz 10MB)

48GB PC3L-12800R DDR3

1 x HP 300GB SSD

Smart Array P420i/ZM

​1 x ​HP Ethernet 10Gb 2P 530T Adapter


and a NAS :


[FONT=comic sans ms, sans-serif]Network Storage Server QNAP Turbo NAS TS-879U-RP - 1 x Intel Core i3 i3-2120 3,30 GHz - 4 GB RAM


[FONT=comic sans ms, sans-serif]8 x [/FONT]HDD RE 2TB 3.5 SATA RPM 6Gbs 64MB
[/FONT]
1 x HP Ethernet 10Gb 2P 530T Adapter


[FONT=comic sans ms, sans-serif]I would like to be sure before buying the products, that everything is fully compatible with Proxmox.

Is there anyone who could give me an opinion on the configuration?[/FONT]
 
Hi,
can't say much about your servers. Only that hp-servers sometimes has strange effects. I have one which are not able to boot several OS - years ago, tried nexenta, debian and so on - pve works...

And with hp you get only bios-updates with an valid support-contract.
