Afternoon, I converted my Red hat 10 desktop server/workstation to the XCP-ng, it had:
1x NVMe SSD 1TB (XCP-ng default install + VMs)
2x SSD 1TB (SR for VMs)
3x WD 2TB (It was used for storage via NFS)
I want to create a NSF VM to manage those WD 2TB HDs. I'm assuming it possible, any cons doing it this would be welcome, I can not find instructions how to attach a drive to a VM in the XCP-ng docs. I don't want to destroy the data on these drives until I get a storage device to transfer them too.
The need to do it this way for now is, I don't have the equipment to setup a full blown network infrastructure. So I want to simulate one until I do. The purpose is to learn and master XCP-ng and Networking. The VMs will be simulating servers, so when I get all the needed equipment, I would know how to setup my network infrastructure.
I have another Redhat 10 server/workstation setup similar and will convert this one a well. It has:
1x NVMe SSD 1TB (default install for XCP-ng + VMs)
2x SSD 500GB (for VMs)
2x ST 2TB (used for storage as well, currently uploading to cloud storage to use for VMs as well)
I will be managing both XCP-ng severs from another workstation (Windows 10 Pro).
Thanks for your feedback!
