Hi,
I read the info on the page https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Cluster_Manager#_cluster_network, expecially the chapter Network Requirements:
For this reason I understand that it's better to create a separate network for the cluster communication, and this is completely reasonable.
What I want to better understand is the reason of this advise. If it's for bandwidth reason or something else?
I am asking this because my cluster nodes has 2 network interfaces which I am using as a bonding interface on LAG and 802.3ad LACP protocol. For this reason I cannot reserve dedicated interfaces and switches to the cluster network, but I could create a dedicated VLAN for the cluster communication. Is it enough or should I add some Quality of Service policy on the cluster VLAN to ensure it has sufficient bandwidth every time?
Thank you very much!
Bye

The network should not be used heavily by other members, ideally corosync runs on its own network. never share it with network where storage communicates too.
