Proxmox VE as High Availability solution for HomeSeer

[John245]

I don't remember if replication works with lvm (faster than ext) - I see some technical difficulty but the pmox people aren't stupid.



I'd go for lvm and use virt-io virtual NICs and scsi controllers if possible.

It will not work and no plans to support. See:

Mo idea if that is possible? What will be the advatage?

Everything but compatibility - speed, size, etc.

Disadvantage will be security.

I might just end up buying this: Supermicro SuperServer 5018D-FN4T

Why this version and not a server build using this board? https://www.supermicro.com/en/produc...1SDV-8C+-TLN2F

Also a great idea.
I like to keep things in my rack - the purpose of true servers would be ipmi and some sort of standardisation.

I think complete it will cost around Euro 2500,-

I also like to keep things in my rack. Still investigating all the options.

Which one would you prefer?

1. X10SDV-TLN4F
2. X10SDV-8C-TLN4F

And why?

I actually forgot I had a small cluster running in an 'odd' location.
As far as i can see - you don't need extra disks for ZFS - the hosts here have a single (very small) nvme-drive. It is only used for 'compute' hence, it has 2288G Xeons.

The first one - because of the IPMI.
I only had a very brief look.

[lurendrejer]

They both seem to have a dedicated IPMI-NIC - I guess they are identical besides active/passive cooling.
I'd go for the one that fits whatever cooling you have in the case.
Rack-cases often don't need fans on their headsinks - since they have VERY overactive cooling built into the cases.

You did partitioning of your NVMe?

Why? I'm not an expert on LXC but I would think that the container is running isolated from the hostOS.

Looks that way - I build so much **** that I can't even remember what it did yesterday :'D

[lurendrejer]

Oh.. looking at the screenshots, it does have two disks - sorry!
And they are SATA disks - I wonder why I ended up there.

It is an option. But mirroring to the same SSD does not make much sense in respect to remove points of failure.

Although an option will be 1 OS SSD and one portioned fort the ZFS
