One PVE node (no cluster) with Nimble over FC

[ocampofer]

Good morning.
I have a DL360G11 server with FC boards
I also have a Nimble with FC and 2 controllers.
I'm not going to form a cluster in Proxmox, I'm just going to use a node called SRVPVE01.
Can I present the LUN to the SRVPVE01 node, configure the multipath, and on that LUN, create a LVM-Thin, and use the disks of the VMs and Containers in RAW format to have snapshots and make better use of the space?
Is this recommended or is there a better way?
I can only do it through FC.
I already have this hardware, and I want to do the best I can with it.
Greetings and thanks!

Hi @ocampofer , welcome to the forum.

Yes, you can do what you have described as long you only have one server connected to the LUN. And, yes, its a good strategy.

Good luck

Using 2 lun's, one from each controller and 2 times that multipathings, would give you more I/O oompf if you have enough disk for.
If 1 controller fail both lun's are still served be the remaining.
What are your FC connections, 4x FC32 ? What are your disks and setup ?
