Hi I have the following hardware
1 synology nas with some TBs storage
1 Hp Proliant DL160 G5
1 hp Proliant DL380p g8 with 128 gb ram 20 cores

OS

1 pfsense fw on 380p
1 win10 client
1 win srv 2016

This is allready install on the server but the vm's live on an 120gb ssd with proxmox on it too.
I will move the vms to the nas on monday.

For rdp to windows from outside of proxmox can i use spice with the stock mstsc on windows 10?

Can i give the vms access to the network outside pmox?

But windows 10 isnt booting from the w19 install iso x64 i tried virtio scsi sata....

I want to take snapshots so i need iscsi on zfs on the nas

I d like to do a HA Cluster but saw its difficult with 2 nodes?

I want to enable ssl as i did on proxmox at home but maybe i could provide a certificate for all devices on the network e.g. switches
 
Hi,

For both you will need VirtIO drivers installed in the guest, see:

Can i give the vms access to the network outside pmox?

Yes, but you should tell more about your network topology and the actual connectivity problem so that we're able to help better with that.

I want to take snapshots so i need iscsi on zfs on the nas

You could also use .qcow2 disks on an arbitrary file storage, nowadays little performance is lost by using qcow2 vs raw.

I d like to do a HA Cluster but saw its difficult with 2 nodes?

You would need to give one node two votes (i.e., pre chose one as the known good node), or setup the NAS as a qdevice (not easy, especially if your new to PVE and have no experience with corosync).
Else only manual fail over can be done, by moving configurations manually through SSH/Shell and starting VM/CTs again.

I want to enable ssl as i did on proxmox at home but maybe i could provide a certificate for all devices on the network e.g. switches

Could you elaborate? Where exactly do you want to add SSL certificates (everything which isn't PVE must be done at it's level or thorugh a reverse proxy (NGINX, for example)).
