Hi, I'm very new to Proxmox, I have just set up an Asus NUC to run my smart home in a VM, a Windows DC in a VM and Pi-Hole in a container. I like it and am now thinking of reconfiguring my Windows server to be another Proxmox node.
I currently have
Windows Server 2019 (Physical box)
  • SSD (OS Disk)
  • Adaptec 6405
    • Raid 10 array - Pictures, documents etc (NTFS)
    • Raid 10 array - VMs (NTFS)
  • Hyper-V
    • One VM Windows Server 2019 Domain Controller
  • Shared Folders (Shared from the host)
I am thinking of redoing the setup so it looks like this
Proxmox (Physical Box)
  • SSD (Proxmox)
  • Adaptec 6405
    • Raid 10 array - Pictures, documents etc (NTFS) - Keep(don't want to move the files and reformat)
    • Raid 10 array - VMs (NTFS) - I can move the Hyper-V VM and reformat the volume, then move the VM back if needed.
  • Shared Folders (Shared from the VM Windows server DC)
What I'm not sure of is, if I install Proxmox to my SSD and import my existing Windows VM into Proxmox, how do I re-attach the existing RAID 10 array with my pictures etc to the VM to share some folders from the volume?
Thanks for reading.
 
I've just got round to rebuilding this server of mine, the vm is running okay and now I am struggling to add the existing drive as a pass through disk. When I followed the guide and attached and looked in disk manager in windows a volume appear with a number of partitions when I was expecting one partition and I'm not sure what I did wrong, if anyone has any suggestions thanks.

Just a reminder it is a RAID 10 disk with my adaptec raid card.

I'm trying to add sdb2 in below (RAID10Data was the label I was expecting) and the second partition

In here I figured it was the marked entry

So I ran
qm set 100 -scsi2 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-2aa99944b00d00000-part2

I only have 1 VM with id 100.
 
Ah course, yes, thank you for replying. I have passed the disk instead of the partition and it looks fine now. Thanks again.
