Hello,

I have 2 drives on my proxmox.One SSD NVME 1TB and 2TB Normal SSD.

I want to reconfigure the storage to be as like this:
1TB to be for Proxmox/ISO Image/VMs
2TB for "extended" storage for example NAS,Torrents/sync files.

Right now I've installed the Proxmox on the 1TB drive

How do I do it?
 
Hello all

I'm new to proxmox. I am happy and very proud of myself because i manange to install Ve 7.2 create and run 2 vm (opnsense and home assistant os).

Because of this success, I pland to add truenas as a vm to this mix.

Proxmox and the vm are running on a dell R710 on 2 drives in a stripe configuration. Thios server has 2 5620 cpu each havong 16gb ecc ram

In order to get to this point, as a first step, I will need to move the current proxmox installation from the 2 X 1tb HD to a new 1tb ssd next monday

Next replace then perc6 with a flashed in IT mode h200 0r h310 and set this as a passthrough to truenas and add 6 X 4TB drives (dedicated to truenas

This will also cause me to increase the ram to 32 per cpu

Is there a way to "clone" the current set up or because it si so small am i better to just install the whole thing a new?

These are my readings

Am i Reading this correctly that of the 936 gb hd i only have 16 gb free?
my 2 current vms are 40 and 32 gb

or is it just saying that it is reserving 794gb in pve data pool as additional space?

Thank you
