Hello,
I am setting up a Promox clustered environment for my company's website and am concerned about high availability storage. The company bought (before my time) a shiny new 12TB FreeNas unit to store the vm's and backups. The problem is that it's a single server attached to raided disks. If that server goes down, so does the entire proxmox cluster. I am trying to design a solution so that a storage node can fail and proxmox would continue to operate.
I am considering 3 options.
1) Buying another Freenas and attaching it the proxmox cluster as a secondary storage. Then replicating the vm's between the two units. I believe I can configure proxmox to start a vm if the other one fails...I think?
2) Using Ceph.
3) Using Gluster.
I am not sure which option would work best for us. Can you help?
