I got pissed/bummed at the price to create a small cluster
Just took delivery of 5x :
for a Proxmox cluster:
Missing from the pic:
-Fifth tiny thinkstation with Proxmox Backup Server installed
-2nd 8port Mokerlink, both are connected by DAC @10g to a Fortiswitch 1024D
-Qnap NAS (16TB usable RAID10 pool) with a 2 port 2.5g NIC for iSCSI host storage but intended for ZFS backup storage
This cluster has Coffee Lake i7's 6C/12T for 48 cores, high endurance NVMe SSD's (2 per node) and 64GB RAM in each node. It should be fully operational next week.
