Need help to design architecture

[still_at_work]

Hello everyone,

I am going to build my first infrastructure on Proxmox after several years on VMware.

I need your help on the design of this new infrastructure.

I have three sites:

- Site A: main site, a cluster of 4 PVE servers with a PBS.
- Site B: backup site, a cluster of 2 PVE servers for disaster recovery.
- Site C: a PBS server for off-site backups.

How can I replicate my VMs between site A and site B?

I saw that ZFS allows you to do this, but I would like to have shared storage on each of my clusters.

What is your point of view ? What are your suggestions?

I can't wait to read your answers!

THANKS !

Hi,

You could use pve-zsync(you need to install this tool with apt).

Good luck / Bafta!

Hi guletz,

pve-zsync only work with ZFS ? If yes, I can't because I need a shared storage on my cluster.

Yes, it work only with zfs. Without zfs you can not have replication. Any other kind of tools, are not fast as pve-zsync(who is using incremental transfer from src to dst).

Using a shared storage, you can have only file transfer ... witch will take more time to finish.

Good luck / Bafta!

Thank you for your answer! How can I set up ZFS with a cluster of 4 servers? What are the best practices ?
