Hi all,
I am wondering if there is any issues with running proxmox as a VM in truenas scale?
I have a Supermicro X9DR3-LN4F+ with 64 GB RAM and 2 Xeon processors
I am running Proxmox on an old HP SSF with a 6th gen core i5 with an Ubuntu server mainly for plex and HW transcoding but also quite a few docker containers. I dont want to move it to new server as I dont have a GPU to put in to passthrough. I like the backup and migration of VMs in proxmox, but i want to use this new server mainly as a NAS, with the ability to move VMs from the existing proxmox install into the new one if required.
Because the intended purpose of the supermicro is as a NAS i want to have it as best a NAS as possible. I dont have a HBA card to passthrough from proxmox so was going to just passrthrough disks connected to the 6 sata ports by UUID and the use the SAS ports controlled by C606 to connect 8 more drives, to a truenas scale VM, but i have read that that is less than ideal for ZFS and doesnt allow SMART stats etc.
Insted i thought it might be better to just run Scale on the bare metal and have a proxmox VM for further linux (and possibly windows?) VMs to use the backup and snapshot, and just work in a more familar space with great tutorials and support etc.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Also, is there a way to migrate a VM from proxmox to Truenas Scale?
