I'm using built-in software RAID. When using the passthrogh NIC's I had a bit of better throughput on the VM side, so it would be nice to be able to use it. I've logged a case with support, thanks for your help so far. Thank you for your udpate. You can use VirtIO, it will cut some of the network pe...

The NICs are Intel X710 for 10GbE SFP+, connected with DAC cables to a Nexus switch. The storage is Dell 0GYGVV, SATA SSD 1.92TB where the appliance sees the disks directly, RAID 50 with 2 spares, 24 disks in the storage pool. No replication, just a simple volume. 17.46 TB raw capacity on the pool 1...

OK, so it's working, but I'm not happy with running an abstraction layer on the iscsi nets (for the same reasons it's not recommended for production use). Also, it takes a bit of throughput from the performance when I put a VM on it, compared to the passthrough solution. So, If virtualized nics are ...

After a bit of fiddling with the NIC's I think I got it working. First I added both iscis interfaces, but the mgmt GUI wouldn't start. The interfaces are now virtualized with a bridge in proxmox. Then I removed one of them, and created a netplan entry for the remaining one, enabled the interface by ...

When I remove all adapters except for the management adapter, it works fine (but then I'm not able to use iscsi because I lack the NICs for it obviously). When I add two more virtualized adapters, there is only a blank screen on the webgui telling me: "Management service is starting. Please wai...

Hi.
Yes, that will work, but then I'll only haveone network adapter.
I could include the nics in the virtualization layer and add two more virtual adapters and try.

I'll be back with results.
Thanks.

Hi. I have a virtual appliance for proxmox running vsan free - just starting out. I have3 NIC's on the VM - one virtual NIC from proxmox and 2 pci passthrough interfaces, and I plan to use the passthrough NICs for iscsi (two vlans for multipathing). I set everything up, just fine, assigns the interf...
