Hi all
disclaimer: I work for Fujitsu, this is a semi-official posting but I hope it is not considered as advertising.
I found a couple of discussions in this forum around recommended hardware and components for Primergy servers, so maybe this will be helpful for some of you.
Of course we see and hear from our sales partners that Proxmox runs on almost everything. But especially for customers with higher requirements we also got lots of questions around which hardware to choose. Therefore, we created a white paper. It covers tested server configurations with PVE, boot devices, network controllers, and options with or without SAS expanders. It also includes a lot more information.
Tested and working hardware in general:
- PRIMERGY RX2530 M7 (Intel Xeon 4th and 5th Gen)
- PRIMERGY RX2540 M7 (Intel Xeon 4th and 5th Gen)
- PRIMERGY RX2540 M2 (AMD Turin)
There is also a section in the white paper about the hardware monitoring using the Primergy inbuilt baseboard management controller "iRMC" and centralized hardware management via "ISM Infrastructure Manager" (which comes free btw).
The white paper can be downloaded here: https://docs.ts.fujitsu.com/dl.aspx?id=c1444f2e-0146-4463-9bfd-9ec6a540a57d
There are also a couple of sample configurations available, incl. block storage options (Eternus HB) via Fibrechannel / iSCSI, ZFS, Ceph and Veeam integrations.
https://docs.ts.fujitsu.com/dl.aspx?id=e31006b7-5fd5-4f91-81d2-67a8ea72584d (needs to be opened in Fujitsu WebArchitect configuration tool).
And in this presentation (PDF) contains a summary of most of the information: https://docs.ts.fujitsu.com/dl.aspx?id=161ea897-6070-41b3-a878-6855dff85a3f (DE)
If you got questions or feedback around the whitepaper or Fujitsus support for PVE, just let me know. I am not able to help with troubleshooting though.
Cheers,
Florian
PS: if you need to convince your customer, we already got some projects and official case studies (5 node CEPH NVMe cluster): https://docs.ts.fujitsu.com/dl.aspx?id=f0e7318b-b59d-4f80-a7d4-dc3942d7f8d7
