Hey guys so recently I had a problem with a server crashing and since it was just a test server i'm going to go ahead and upgrade it to a new processor which comes with a few upgrades.
The server i'm looking at includes (2) 64GB SSD and i'm adding on (4) 1TB HDD with a hardware raid card setup in a RAID1+0 array.
My thought is to install the Proxmox ISO on to the SSD drive, then mount the RAID to use for the VM data (/var/lib/vz). I'm assuming I will have to first setup everything on the SSD, mount the RAID to something like /vztmp, move everything from /var/lib/vz, then modify fstab and set it up to mount as /var/lib/vz.
Does this sound correct and feasible? Is mounting /var/lib/vz the correct directory for all the VM data? Does anybody see any potential problems in doing this?
What about the SSD drives...technically the server comes with 2 of them so I was thinking to just use a software RAID1 for the SSD, but i'm curious to see what other peoples opinions are...Has anybody else setup something similar to this before?
Suggestions, comments, or constructive criticism is greatly appreciated!
