Hello,
I plan to use Proxmox in a production environnement and I want to use the following configuration :
- 1 main serveur which will be a big serveur on which will run most of our critical VM.
- 1 backup server, a smaller machine, on which will run non critical VM and wich will be used temporarily if my main server goes down (long maintenance or crash).
I plan to use Proxmox cluster and DRBD but my problem is that Proxmox needs a complete harddrive during install. For DRBD I need an other drive.
This won't be a problem in my main server as it will be equiped with 2 disks in Raid1 for Proxmox and 4 disks in Raid10 for DRBD
But in my backup server, I will just have 2 disks in Raid 1.
Is there anyway on my backup server to tell Proxmox not to use the entire volume during install ?
Should I install a debian first, configuring my partitions as I want (ie one for Proxmox and one for DRBD) and then manually install Proxmox on it ?
Thanks for your help and advices,
Fred
