pve-sync

Can pve-zsync work on hosts that are not in the same cluster?

Thats how I interpret the wiki page:

Characteristic	PVE Storage Replication	PVE-zsync
Replication	Cluster Wide	to every Node which meets the requirements

So storage replication only works between nodes of a cluster, zsync between any hosts as long as the requirements are met (so it doesn't even have to be PVE node):

System requirements​

• Both, target and source server must support ZFS (best practice: use Proxmox VE hosts).
• SSH must be installed and configured
• to receive email-notifications, a working mail server is required (e.g. postfix).
• cstream
• perl
• scp
• JASON.pm (libjson-perl this is the Debian package name, e.g. needed on Wheezy)

Yes, you can even use it with non-Proxmox hosts

how do you prevent vmid clashes on the src and dest when running on non-clustered hosts?

how do you prevent vmid clashes on the src and dest when running on non-clustered hosts?

You define different VMID ranges for each cluster which is possible since PVE7.2.
VMID 1000-1999 cluster 1, VMID 2000-2999 cluster 2 and so on.

it it possible to explicitly give a destination vmid when running pve-sync?
