How to create a Proxmox cluster
Prerequisite:
You need to know how to SSH.
and/or
Need to know how to work in the Linux terminal.
Basic Linux knowledge.
A minimum of 2 servers (virtual or physical)
The servers must be connected to the same network.
NOTE: If you want to use High Availability, you need 3 servers.
This can be done from the terminal or the WebUI. I’ll be using the terminal.
Proxmox has a tool for doing this called PVECM (Proxmox Virtual Environment Cluster Manager).
First, you need to SSH to one of your servers, or use the terminal from the WebUI.
- To create the cluster, type:
pvecm create VECluster01
You can replace the VECluster01 with the name you want for your cluster. - From the other server, you need to type:
pvecm add pve1
instead of pve1 write the hostname, or the IP address of your other server that is already in the cluster.
You can check the cluster by typing:pvecm status
