In the final episode of LearnLinuxTV’s Proxmox VE tutorial series, we explore the concept of high availability. This will ensure that our most important virtual machines are always running, even if one of the nodes in our cluster stops responding.
Virtualization
Proxmox VE Full Course: Class 15 – Clustering
Setting up a Proxmox VE cluster enables you to benefit from multiple servers to share load between, and also gives you access to live migration. In this video, we’ll create our very own cluster and add two additional Proxmox VE servers.
Proxmox VE Full Course: Class 14 – Shared Storage
Shared storage enables you to set up a single storage repository, and provide access to that repository from multiple servers. If you eventually set up a Proxmox cluster, then shared storage gives you even more flexibility. In this video, you’ll see the process of setting up NFS shares in a NAS (TrueNAS used as an example) and then adding those shares to Proxmox VE.
Proxmox VE Full Course: Class 13 – Networking
Setting up a separate network for your virtual machines is a great idea, especially since that allows you to segregate your management network. In class 13 of LearnLinuxTV’s Proxmox series, we’ll set up a new network and you’ll see how to set up your virtual machines to use it.
Launching a Windows VM in Proxmox
The process of launching a Windows virtual machine on Proxmox is a bit more involved when compared to launching a Linux VM, but in this video, I’ll go over the entire process to make it easy. Follow along with me, and you’ll have your own Windows VM running on Proxmox. This method covers both Windows 10 and Windows Server.
