Setting Up Proxmox VE On Two Servers For Storage Replication
Open Source For You|April 2019

This article covers the installation and setting up of Proxmox VE 5 on two physical servers, with ZFS for storage replication – one for a Microsoft Windows VM and another for a Linux VM.

Setting Up Proxmox VE On Two Servers For Storage Replication

For this fast track setup, we will use two identical servers with the following hardware configuration.

CPU: 16 core Intel Xeon server 64-bit with VT enabled

RAM: 32GB OS HDD: 73GB 15k enterprise HDD

Data HDD: 600GB 15k enterprise HDD

LAN: 1Gbps Ethernet port

Quickly installing Proxmox VE on two servers

Installing Proxmox VE 5 is rather simple and straightforward compared to other OSs.

We first need to download the Proxmox installer ISO from the link https://www.proxmox.com/en/downloads/item/ proxmox-ve-5-3-iso-installer, and burn it on a CD.

Now follow the steps given below:

Boot the system with the newly created bootable CD.

At the welcome screen, choose Install Proxmox VE and hit Enter.

Click on I agree to continue.

At the next screen, use the automatic partition on the first

73GB HDD, and click on the Next button.

Set the time zone and location by entering ‘India’ . The time zone will auto update.

Provide a password for the root user, and enter a valid email address to get various updates and alerts about the server.

Enter the host name, IP address, netmask, gateway and DNS. Provide all valid network details of the LAN to access the Proxmox VE Web-management configuration interface after installation. Set up the network with the following settings for the LAN.

For the first server:

Host: pve01.technoinfotech.com

IP: 192.168.0.11

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.0.1

DNS: 192.168.0.1

For the second server:

Host: pve02.technoinfotech.com

IP: 192.168.0.12

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Analysing Linus Torvald's Critique of Docker

This article looks at Docker's security flaws, particularly its shared-kernel model, and contrasts it with traditional VMs for better isolation. It discusses Linus Torvalds' concerns, explores mitigation techniques, and proposes a roadmap for building a more secure containerisation platform using hardware-assisted virtualisation, true isolation, and a robust orchestration layer.
