About this course

Module 2 takes you from a single host to a resilient cluster. You build a real three-node environment during the course and make it survive controlled failures — node reboots, storage loss and network splits — while your guests keep running.

The training is weighted toward high availability and shared storage, giving you the confidence to run business-critical workloads on Proxmox VE.

Agenda

  • Architecture and components of a Proxmox VE cluster: Requirements, best practices.
  • Exploring the Proxmox Cluster File System (pmxcfs) and Corosync.
  • Cluster networking and redundancy, software-defined networking (SDN) and VLANs.
  • Storage management with shared storage options.
  • Deploying Ceph: Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), Ceph RBD for guest virtual disk storage, CephFS for clustered file storage, maintenance tasks, and best practices.
  • Migration of guests between nodes.
  • ZFS for asynchronous guest disk replication in a cluster.
  • High availability (HA) for VMs and containers.
  • Failure scenarios with exercises for HA and Ceph.
  • Considerations for a minimal 2 node setup with an external tiebreaker (QDevice).
  • Automate tasks using the Proxmox REST API or CLI tools.
  • Troubleshooting common issues
