I've been playing with proxmox and absolutely love it.
If we goto production with it I am curious how others are setting up their storage. I started out creating seperate iSCSI disks on my nas, Prod, Test, Report and attaching those to proxmox. There were each designated for individual vm's. That worked ok and was extremely fast. Then read through the forums that some of my misgivings about this setup would be resolved by creating LVM's over top of the iscsi targets. Then reading the forums again i found i could easily resize my lvms using pvresize.
How are others utilizing this? Is there a problem with multiple iscsi connections to a pm ve server? The disadvantage I didn't like about multiple iscsi disks was the chance of high network usage causing latency from what could be 4 open connections to the nas. Oh yeah, I'm new to iSCSI so i'm still learning about that as well. NFS failed quite a bit so I didn't try to use it all as iSCSI worked great from the get go.
Just looking to get a feel for how others setup storage and what they like and dislike. Thanks.
