Proxmox HA: Distributing Servers across Nodes

[Jörg Giencke]

Hi,
Let's say I have three technically identical nodes and want to run three Windows servers (dc-1, dc-2, dc-3) with high availability.
Is it a good idea to distribute these three servers across the three nodes? Apart from load balancing, in the event of a node failure, only one server needs to be migrated instead of three servers in the worst case.

As long as any one of these servers is capable of handling two VMs without performance degradation, sure, its worth it.
If your environment is able to operate with 2 DC instead of 3, it may even be ok to run without VM HA.
