Chapter 4. Configuring a Proxmox VE Cluster

So far, we have learned all the background knowledge required to work on a Proxmox VE cluster. I think you should be very excited to play with it on your own. In this chapter, we are going to cover the following topics:

  • Configuring a network for a Proxmox VE cluster
  • Preparing storage for a Proxmox cluster
  • Configuring a Proxmox VE cluster
  • Network fencing using a Cisco switch via SNMP
  • Building a Gluster filesystem for a Proxmox cluster
  • Building a Ceph filesystem for a Proxmox cluster
