Guide Summary/shortcuts
This multipart guide will walk through the process to deploy 2x hyperconverged Proxmox VE nodes utilizing SvSAN virtualized block storage and a lightweight witness node, such as a Raspberry Pi, or our debian Witness service running in a NAS device.
Hardware Utilized
HPE Edgeline el4000
Cartridge 1 iLO = 10.10.194.1/24
Cartridge 2 iLO = 10.10.194.2/24
HPE M510 Cartridge
Intel Xeon CPU D-1548 8C@2.00GHz
64GB RAM, 2x 32GB DIMMS
1x120GB SATA SSD as boot disk
2x 4TB (3840GiB) NVMe SSDs
- Samsung MZ1LB3T8HMLA-00007
This example runbook enables the deployment of 2x servers running Proxmox on separate boot storage, and 2x SvSAN VSAs enabling shared storage with software RAID1 over 2x 3.84TB NVMe m.2 adapters similar to the below diagram:
