I've currently got a server running Ubuntu 14.04 with a single boot/system SSD and a 15 drive fully-committed zfs pool. I'd like to virtualise the machine without losing anything at all. Could a more experienced (with proxmox) eye look over the following plan and tell me where it's all going to go wrong?
I know that proxmox can use the zfs pool to storage images, but the thing I'm still a little hazy on is whether it can also expose the pool (or filesystems on it) to guests, and moreso, to multiple guests at the same time. My plan is to: * Buy a 2nd SSD, install proxmox on it * Create a blank VM * Use rsync to copy everything from my current drive to the VM * (If it all works, I can then use both SSDs are a mirrored RAID, if not, I can just put the original SSD in and be back at square one) * Start splitting services off the original machine to other VMs/containers. These will all need access to the main zfs data storage * ... * profit! What am I missing? Thanks in advance... _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list [email protected] http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
