Hello,
I've been using Proxmox off and on for the past few months to host some of my development VMs. Everything looks good so far.
It's mostly got all the bells and whistles in that I've got ECC RAM, IPMI, a Xeon, etc. My VM storage is running off a couple of Samsung 983 DCT with PLP.
The only exception is that I've got the Proxmox host running off of a couple of consumer grade SSDs that I had laying around configured in a ZFS mirror.
It's gotten to the point where I want to move this into production, but I have a couple questions:
Do most people (or is it suggested) run the Proxmox host off the same ZFS pool their VMs are running off of? Or do they split the VM storage and local Proxmox host onto different pools?
Is it recommended to run the Proxmox host on a ZFS pool or a single drive with LVM?
Based on the answers to the above I will either buy some PLP enterprise SSDs to run the Proxmox host off of, or I will run both the host and the VMs off the 983's I already have.
Thanks for your help!
