High-Availability Proxmox VE Cluster & SAN Storage Topology

Enterprise hypervisor virtualization with live VM migration, TrueNAS ZFS storage arrays over iSCSI, automated PBS snapshots, and hardened Debian nodes.

01. The Problem & Inefficiencies

The Core Friction

Single-node hardware crashes caused catastrophic multi-hour application outages.

02. Research, Benchmarking & Discovery

Architectural Investigation

Sized computing nodes, segmented dedicated 10GbE SAN storage networks, and configured automated ZFS snapshot schedules.

03. Implemented Architecture

Engineered Solution

Deployed a 3-node Proxmox HA cluster connected to a redundant TrueNAS ZFS storage pool over multipath iSCSI.
