VLAN across cluster networking question

[yatesco]

Hi,

I currently have 4 physical machines served off a SAN configured in XenServer.

I am considering moving back to proxmox as XenServer is just a little bit too restrictive - love Xen, just not XenServer.

Each host has 4 1GB NICs - two which are bonded to the external network, and 2 which are bonded
to the SAN. I also have a single VM which runs vyatta which servers as the firewall and gateway.

This cluster actually runs 6 different VLANs (i.e. a testing environment, a production environment etc.) and these VLANs are spread out across the hosts, so nodes on different hosts can communicate with each other.

The VLANs are also interconnected, so I have one 'infrastructure' VLAN which all the other VLANs are connected to.

My question is, is this possible using proxmox, and can it be done through the GUI - i.e. how hard is it? I don't mind if I could only use KVM and kernel X.

Many thanks,

Col

Yes, you can perfectly do that with proxmox. We are doing the same.
Regarding GUI, yes, I think you can define this network infrastructure using the GUI.
We dont use the GUI for interface configuration since every interface change through the GUI requires a proxmox reboot which is a no go for us.
But /etc/network/interfaces is all that we edit manually from time to time while using proxmox and we can live with this.
