Proxmox HA virtualization cluster

Abstract

The objective of the thesis was to create a test virtualization cluster with minimum costs and the best possible quality. The main goal was to create a working system with an opportunity to start a virtual machine on it. The questions of stability, accessibility and downtime were the most important. In case of a site being down, another site is searched by people, in case of a database down, money loss is possible for the employer. For achieving the result, information on clusters, virtualization and storages was studied. In parallel with gathering information for the theory part, the practical part was completed with an installation and configuration of a Proxmox hypervisor and two storage software: Ceph and FreeNAS. Small basic tests were also made in the practical part of this thesis. Possible further development was described and included moving to the newer devices and software versions. As a result of the work, a working cluster was configured, but wasn’t tested in the main company’s network. During the study, it was also found that every software developed faster than it could be described properly. It wasn’t possible to get all the information on the newest software versions that became older during the thesis writing process
