Scaling up the lab! I just pushed the Proxmox cluster from 5 to 7 nodes to see what we can do with 56 cores and 224GB of RAM. If you're into virtualization and hardware optimization, check out the new video. 💻

Initial support for ACPI in OpenBSD vmd (virtual machine daemon / hypervisor), adds the required tables for most modern OSes - Code by Mike Larkin mlarkin@ #OpenBSD #Virtualization https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/c542173c8471e204b823acbb005697ed37e746a1

Proxmox proves you do not need expensive licensing for enterprise virtualization. Open-source hypervisors offer better flexibility and transparency than proprietary stacks. It is the smartest way to maximize hardware efficiency without vendor lock-in.

proxmox Virtualization efficiency and the benefits of open-source hypervisors

Stop over-provisioning your VMs just because you have the RAM. Most home lab users waste resources by assigning max specs to idle services. Use thin provisioning and ballooning to keep your hardware efficient. Your cluster will run cooler and faster.

Looking for anyone who has successfully installed Proxmox on an HP ProLiant DL380 G6 with a Smart Array P411 controller. I have tried Proxmox 7, 8, and 9. Most attempts end in a black screen or kernel panic. Debian itself also fails to detect the RAID 0 logical drive. I have tried both the older CCISS driver and the modern HPSA driver with no luck. Ubuntu installs without issues and sees the array fine, but I do not want Ubuntu running bare metal. I chose Proxmox because the original ESXi install is full of security vulnerabilities and ongoing problems, and I need something better supported. Has anyone got Proxmox working on this exact hardware, or found a reliable way to make the P411 visible during install?

PS. unfortunately I cannot update the firmware right now and since it is not mine and it is for the place that are work in, this is the test hardware that they gave me to try proxmox and see if it's better than EXSI or not.
