Quick question. I have a HPE DL350p server that has 3 drive cages with a total of 22 drive bays all connecting to 3 HBA cards. I have ProxMox 8.1 installed on a 256GB SD flash card mounted to the motherboard. Currently I have all 1TB SATA standard consumer drives in those bays, but I eventually would go to 2-4TB drives.

Is it possible to use that server as both a node AND a SAN type setup with it's storage? If so, how is that possible in ProxMox?

Thanks!
