I have HPE ML310 Gen8 tower server with 4 non-hotplug 1TB HDD drives on HPE's B120i RAID controller (supports RAID 0,1 and 1+0). I would like to install on it: Nextcloud, Meshcentral, maybe Photoprism, maybe Kodi, some Docker apps... Proxmox's system requirements say: For local storage use a hardware RAID with battery backed write cache (BBU) or non-RAID for ZFS. Neither ZFS nor Ceph are compatible with a hardware RAID controller. Would you recommend that I setup disks as RAID10, or to use ZFS on non-RAID disks (or something else) for my non-production use? Edit: Size of storage is not so important now - 2TB in RAID10 is enough for now, I think J 3 Risposte Ultima Risposta 13 gen 2023, 23:27 Rispondi Cita 0 * J JaredBusch @Mario Jakovina ultima modifica di JaredBusch 13 gen 2023, 23:25 13 gen 2023, 23:22 @Mario-Jakovina said in Recommended storage setup for Proxmox VE homelab: > Neither ZFS nor Ceph are compatible with a hardware RAID controller. This is bullshit. Yes, a RAID controller defeats the purpose of most of the features of ZFS, but it works just fine. Proxmox requires ZFS if you are going to use the built in replication. So I simply setup ZFS on top of my RAID controller.

For home use, assuming you have your backups, and such as if real production, go ahead and use WTF ever you want. But this: @Mario-Jakovina said in Recommended storage setup for Proxmox VE homelab: > with 4 non-hotplug 1TB HDD drives on HPE's B120i RAID controller This means you need to just use the controller. Why waste it? I mean I am not as familiar with HP's lineup as I am with Dell, but as long as that is a real RAID controller, just use it.

Do you mean, it's OK to use RAID 0, so I have more space, and I can normally use ZFS on it?

From what I can gather B120i is not a real RAID controller. It just a SATA HBA with LSI chipset. It needs OS software drivers to do RAID. The lack of RAID5 and RAID6 kind of gives it away.

I mean it is home use and you have backups, so you decide what your risk level is and design appropriately. 1 Risposta Ultima Risposta Rispondi Cita 0 * J JaredBusch @Pete.S ultima modifica di 14 gen 2023, 00:22 @Pete-S said in Recommended storage setup for Proxmox VE homelab: > @JaredBusch said in Recommended storage setup for Proxmox VE homelab: > > > @Mario-Jakovina said in Recommended storage setup for Proxmox VE homelab: > > > > with 4 non-hotplug 1TB HDD drives on HPE's B120i RAID controller > > > > This means you need to just use the controller.

I have no issues with ZFS itself. I have issues with the Cult of ZFS asshats.

Some of the recommendations to avoid RAID controllers and use pure HBA with different forms of software RAID/RAIN stems from problems and overhead with pass-through on RAID controllers. VSAN for example wasn't certified with any Dell RAID controller, only HBA330 last time I looked. Since B120i is a LSI HBA it will probably work great with ZFS. 1 Risposta Ultima Risposta Rispondi Cita 0 * P Pete.S @JaredBusch ultima modifica di 14 gen 2023, 00:35 @JaredBusch said in Recommended storage setup for Proxmox VE homelab: > Proxmox requires ZFS if you are going to use the built in replication.

I created RAID0 array on B120i, and Proxmox installer still sees individual drives. It seems like you're right - it is not real RAID controller. Edit: After Proxmox install on it, system reports "unknown filesystem". I will try with "non-RAID" setup P 1 Risposta Ultima Risposta 14 gen 2023, 00:49 Rispondi Cita 0 * P Pete.S @Mario Jakovina ultima modifica di 14 gen 2023, 00:49 @Mario-Jakovina said in Recommended storage setup for Proxmox VE homelab: > @Pete-S said in Recommended storage setup for Proxmox VE homelab: > > > From what I can gather B120i is not a real RAID controller.

I have the specified setup at two clients. Dell hardware RAID with a ZFS RAID 0 on top of it to get replication working. 1 Risposta Ultima Risposta Rispondi Cita 0 * * * * * 1 / 1 * * 1 / 1 * Primo post Ultimo post Vai al mio prossimo post Sembra che la tua connessione a MangoLassi sia stata persa, per favore attendi mentre proviamo a riconnetterti.
