Install PVE on a internal USB memory key

[decibel83]

Hi.
The server I'm installing PVE on has an internal USB memory.
Is it reasonable to install PVE on it instead on the RAID1 hard drives array?

Thank you very much!
Bye.

not supported and as OpenVZ needs the local storage its not a good idea to use the usb memory. but if you know what you are doing I assume you can adapt the system to get it working. start here: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Install_Proxmox_VE_on_Debian_Lenny

I will have a local storage based on a RAID1 array of 2 SAS 15k RPM hard drives for data.
My question was about performance and convenience.

and the answer is not supported, this include that we do not do this and therefore I cannot say anything detailed about performance. in any case, you should not run OpenVZ on USB storage (you need to manually mount /var/lib/vz to the SAS drives).
