Hello
I use Proxmox since version 4, I have always used an installation with a hardware controller with Raid10, and the installation with local (dir), and local LVM-Thin.
I have a new server and I want to use ZFS now :
( OVH USA Dedicate Server Service)
2x Intel E5-2650v2 - 16C/32T - 2.6GHz/3.4GHz - RAM 256GB - 2x 240GB SSD + 4x 2TB HDD SATA
I recently installed (from scratch) proxmox 6.0-1 (and updated to 6.0-5)
I have installed the system on 2 x 240 GB datacenter-grade ssd drives in ZFS mirror, using the installer's default values
I also have 4x 2TB HDD SATA disks, with which I have created (using the proxmox GUI) a zfs pool in raid10
It automatically created proxmox storage type ZFS, with the same name of the zfs pool
Any other work with ZFS (with commands from console) is necessary? If yes, I thank you for indicating the "what" and the "how"
It is recommended to create some other type of Storage to store the images of my CT, VM, or backup, or host some type of templates, in this last pool zfs that I created?
i read here ----> https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage:_ZFS
I appreciate your recommendations, I want to start migrating VM and CT from my local servers, to my new dedicated server (the one that detailed the previous installation) in OVH USA
Thank you!

Code:
It is recommended to create an extra ZFS file system to store your VM images:
# zfs create tank/vmdata
To enable compression on that newly allocated file system:
# zfs set compression=on tank/vmdata
You can get a list of available ZFS filesystems with:
# pvesm zfsscan

Thank you!
