Hello,

 

I need some advices for a new setup with VSA and Proxmox.

 

The setup :

1 cluster with 2 Proxmox node with 1 volume for the OS and 1 volume for the storage of the VM

The storage is done with Datacore Sansymphony (HCI solution). 

1 VSA + 2 worker + 1 VIA repository for backup + 1 Synology NAS NFS for backup copy 

 

I read Veeam documentation and limitation and I have 2 mainly questions :

  1. The Snapshot storage must be file level storage. In my scenario, that mean I need to use the volume available on the same disk as the OS right ? Because the storage used for the VM will be block storage … 

 

  1. For the worker, same issue if I understand it correctly, it must be file-level storage that supports snapshots. That mean I also need to use the same volume right ?

How do you usually manage it ? 

 

Finally, for the File system of it, do you use ZFS or XFS or EXT4 ? 

 

Thanks for your answer

As I’m looking a bit into Proxmox lately, I wanna see if anyone chimes in on this ​@damien commenge . I hadn’t gotten that far into the weeds so to speak of implmenting PVE. I’ve only done intial configs, etc. I’m curious about this since we are considering moving to PVE from VMW.
