I've installed PVE 6.3 in a Dell R620 with this disk config.
- 2TB SATA 7k OS Disk as Ext4 with LVM, with 0 GB Swap (we have 256 GB RAM) and 0 GB VMs
- 2TB SATA 7k disk unused and formatted with LSI Utility and "sgdisk -Z"
- 4 x 2 TB SSD Enterprise disk (new disks not ever used)
Once installed and updated packages, I've created a ZFS Pool before add to our cluster.
From the GUI created a ZFS RAID 10 using the four SSD disks, compression on, named "rpool" and no add to storage.
From console:
And added to the cluster. All our LXC/VM are on rpool/data and we can do migrations to our new server. Fine!
When server reboots/starts we can see "Failed to start Import ZFS pool rpool" but zfs rpool imports correctly.
The result of running systemctl tests

LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
1 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
