Hi, Thanks I am trying to find out what is the best way to synchronize VMS between two HCI Proxmox clusters. Each cluster will contain 3 compute/storage nodes and each node will contain 4 nvme osd disks. There will be a 10gbs link between the two platforms. The idea is to be able to sync VMS between the two platforms in case of disaster bring the synced VMS up. Would you recommend to create a dedicated pool in each platform to synchronization? Regards.
