Harddisk options

[rajasekhar]

Hi Team,
I am installing Proxmox VE 6.3 on baremetal HP proliant DL380p Gen8 Server with 9.6 TB storage. I have configured RAID level 1+0 so the final output of the Diskvolume size is 4.7 TB. I have choosen the Filesystem "xfs" and Proxmox installer automatically grab the "hdsize=4470GB". The server has RAM 384 GB. I haven't configure the Swapsize so Proxmox has empty value in the column "Swapsize".

How can I configure the Swapsize during the installing of Proxmox VE 6.3?

Put simply the requested swapsize into the respective field in the "Target Harddisk"'s "options" menu.

Hi Richard,
Thank you for your reply.

I am not sure what is requested swapsize.

Hi Richard,
Thank you for your reply.

Depends on your needs - if you have suffient RAM and you do not plan to hibernate or sleep your server (usually not the case) best is to not specify swap at all ( size = 0).
