Proxmox VE Clustering & Shared Storage

Delivered by Linux Belgium, the first Proxmox Authorized Training Partner in Belgium. This course extends the Proxmox VE - Deployment & Management training with the design and operation of multi-node Proxmox VE clusters. Participants learn how to build resilient virtualisation platforms with shared storage, high availability, hyper-converged Ceph and automated workflows. Lab time is spent on a real cluster running on dedicated hardware.

Prerequisites: Hands-on Proxmox VE experience equivalent to the Proxmox VE - Deployment & Management course, or a working production deployment under your belt. Comfortable with the Linux command line, networking and storage fundamentals.

Cluster Architecture & Deployment

• Proxmox VE cluster architecture, design considerations and quorum
• Cluster deployment, node addition and removal
• Cluster networking and Software-Defined Network (SDN) at scale

Backup & Disaster Recovery

• Proxmox Backup Server: deployment, retention, encryption and verification
• Restore strategies and disaster recovery

Storage: Ceph & ZFS Replication

• Hyper-converged Ceph storage with Proxmox VE
• Pools, CRUSH map basics, monitoring and troubleshooting
• ZFS replication for two-node and edge scenarios

High Availability & Automation

• High Availability (HA) groups, fencing and failover behaviour
• Operational practices for HA workloads
• REST API and CLI automation
• Automation patterns for repeatable cluster operations

Troubleshooting

• Cluster troubleshooting: split-brain, storage, networking and HA scenarios

Content is complementary to the Proxmox VE - Deployment & Management course. To take both in one go at a discounted rate, see the Proxmox VE Bundle.

Target audience: System administrators, DevOps and infrastructure engineers responsible for multi-node Proxmox VE deployments, high availability and shared storage in production environments.
