XenServer has everything I want from a technical perspective, but administration is a pain in the neck - Citrix's XenClient management program is lacking, to say the least. You can't even configure a multicore vCPU without diving into the CLI :mad:
So as a result, I'm thinking of moving to Proxmox VE, but I figure that I should first make sure that Proxmox will support something along the lines of my current setup:
So as a result, I'm thinking of moving to Proxmox VE, but I figure that I should first make sure that Proxmox will support something along the lines of my current setup:
- XenServer is installed to and boots off of a 32 GB USB stick
- The first guest, a Ubuntu Server VM running NFS (and Samba), is also stored on the USB stick
- The onboard SATA controller (Intel ICH10) is passed through to the Ubuntu Server VM using VT-d
- XenServer then mounts the NFS share as remote storage
- All other guest are created and stored on the NFS share
