Proxmox newbie - create zfs array and offer to vm

[knigget]

Hi all and happy new year!

I'm totally new to Proxmox and linux. My setup (please forgive my terminology but I hope it makes sense):

Proxmox installed on 2x SSD (ZFS mirrored array)
Zentyal installed on above array
2 x 500gb disk available

I wish to make the 2x 500gb disks into a ZFS mirrored array and offer that to Zentyal so it is available as a shared network drive to Windoze users.

My intention is then to fire up a Win7 VM (already up and working). From that Win7 vm, I'll use replicati (or similar) to back up to the cloud.

Question(s):
1. How to make the 2x 500gb disks ZFS mirrored arrayed?
2. How to make Zentyal see this array?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

1. How to make the 2x 500gb disks ZFS mirrored arrayed?

At the installer in the options, you can select it.
At the GUI on node level in section Disk, you can create a ZFS mirror.
Or if the ZFS still exists, you must use the command line.

How to make Zentyal see this array?

With LXC, you can use bind mounts.
With KVM, you can not use the ZFS directly.
