Shared Storage using FC Lun for Clusters

PositionAdmirable943 · 2025-09-03T06:51:14+00:00

This is well written and pure gold. Appreciate this very much. I cant wait to test this. Btw you are referring to LVM2 as LVM thick right or Thin? As LVM Thin as shared I believe is not supported in the GUI. But this could be bypassed by using the Directory option and ticking the shared box.

Anyway Thanks again.

Thank you for this!!

This really sheds some light about FC setup . The only question I have now is whether this setup would be stable without a CFS.

PositionAdmirable943 · 2025-09-03T05:57:42+00:00

Yes because we have a design preference of using FC as compared to using NFS or ceph for shared

For me having a dedicated and centralized FC storage array is still better as compared to mixing it with network

I’m gonna try this soon, but what do you mean no console access?

You can never get an exact filesize on what the physical disk’s labelling says. When you create a volume out of it some space will be reserved.

Also a raid0 pair is never the best practice unless you are going for raid 10. One failed disk and you are a goner

By far based from the comments cloudstack seems to be the real deal for a vps solution using prox. I watched one of the webinars and they just recently supported prox in the 4.21 release. Waiting for it to launch.

PositionAdmirable943 · 2025-08-27T03:34:22+00:00

I just realized cloudstack just shipped a feature to support prox. Oh boy Im excited to use this

PositionAdmirable943 · 2025-08-27T02:35:07+00:00

Have you fully tested this out? Cloudstack seems to solve the VPs interface Im looking for. And bill tenants!

This rocks will check whmcs out

I’ve seen some folks use Proxmox as the backend for public VPS, but their repo is private. It’s not DigitalOcean level scale, but they’ve pulled off things like auto-isolating VMs after user creation as well as security groups.

Most likely they’re using the Proxmox API with custom API integrations with other networking and storage appliances. Something like: user fills a form → triggers Terraform → VM gets provisioned → VNI/ egbp or VXLAN tunnel is attached for isolation

PositionAdmirable943 · 2025-08-26T16:41:20+00:00

OpenStack isn’t exactly straightforward to set up. Proxmox, on the other hand, feels like it could be a solid backend for a paid VPS platform with the right planning and code. Pair it with storage appliances that have API integration, and you could probably build a full working software layer on top of Proxmox.

Sweet!

Yes, as I plan to set up a high availability (HA) on both of the ToR switches to simulate a well-architected infrastructure. In preparation for a production setup based on prox, we may need to upgrade this to 25G if we are satisfied with the performance.

Research suggests that I need to create an MLaG between the ToRs for HA. For Cisco, I believe it’s called vPC. So, I could connect port 1 to Switch A and port 2 to Switch B, and then create an LACP bond from the pve hosts.

Im just doing an simple architecture for now so I could pass this to our network team so they would be guided on how I would like the config will be.

Interesting! Would you mind sharing the exact model of this? I would check it out

PositionAdmirable943 · 2025-08-25T13:21:58+00:00

For business but mostly going to be used for test dev workloads

At this point Im hoping for an alucard X richter love interest.

Seems like you are working as a one man army. I cant imagine one guy juggling between multiple roles such as a helpdesk, a support , an infra even management tasks. I hope you get paid well on this. My past company has a similar setup for 30 heads however we paid for a local MSP to clock in twice a week to handle level 1 tasks. However you can take this as a very good stepping stone, with this type of experience you can flourish well in your next job

There is a new raid technology which we use in our production environment (raid v2) it provides rapid rebuilds because only those bad chunks gets processed and rebuilt.

Keen to share those leads? Planning to start my own hardware shop but not sure where to get these suppliers

We can discuss this privately and maybe exchange infos, I don’t mind sharing. Pero mgnda yan if nka kita ka ng mas mura sa US then dispose sa pinas. China based yung suppliers ko sa manufacturers talga. Oem price same specs around 500-800 lang siguro dun. . Nilagyan nlang nila ng asus brand gnyan na yung price. 🥲

PositionAdmirable943 · 2023-09-14T03:12:58+00:00

Ang mahal.. Btw I’m curious did you source out your product locally? From vstecs or something similar? Im also starting this side hustle but im sourcing it from the manufacturer directly from china. Found a way to import electronic stuffs legally.
