I have a current server that runs very well. However my power meter is spinning out of control so it is time to step down from that and move to a reasonable power and noise level device.
I am running 3 guest total on the existing and occasionally spin 1 up for testing, etc. So not much in use on this thing.
My current server is a 1U HP server. Xeon E5-2699 v4@2.2G, 2 sockets, 120GB ram, and 8TB or so hd.
I found a device on line and thought it would fit well.
AMD Ryzen5 4500. 48GB ram, and I added 2 internal TN320 NVMe drives (for Os, Images) and 2 SATA Toshiba N300 8TB drives for guests.
I created the Mirror 1 boot drive not from the bios but using ProxMox ZFS. Same with the 2 8TB drives, using ZFS.
My initial test was to create a new Ubuntu server on each. 1 processos, 4gb ram, 32g drive.
I booted both from ISO image at the same time and loading the initial files was somewhat close. But when the initial screen came up on my Xeon computer the other was still loading. 5-10 minutes later it came up t the initial install screen.
I tried a similar test by loading Windows 10. That was just as painful.
Am i missing something on drive settings, or something? Or is this machine not made for this? I did set the bios setting for the Processor for virtualization as well. (SVM mode).
Any input is appreciated!
