I need an experienced Proxmox engineer to stand up a 3-to-4-node cluster and tune it for true high availability and fast replication. All hosts will run Proxmox VE on hardware RAID 10 arrays (we are intentionally staying away from ZFS for now). The cluster must serve both Linux and Windows virtual machines and allow live migration without interruption. Each node has two network interfaces: • the primary 1 Gb/2.5 Gb port that will remain on the main LAN for user traffic • a dedicated 10 Gb card reserved exclusively for inter-node traffic and for talking to a Synology NAS. That 10 Gb backplane needs to be the path for corosync traffic, VM replication and storage I/O so bandwidth is never a bottleneck. Your work will cover the clean installation of Proxmox VE, creation of the cluster, configuration of HA groups, tuning of corosync for the separate 10 Gb network, and seamless integration of the Synology (NFS or iSCSI—whichever you judge most reliable for HA on hardware RAID). Once finished, I expect to be able to pull the power on any single node and watch all running guests automatically restart elsewhere. Acceptance is straightforward: 1. The cluster shows healthy quorum with all nodes online. 2. Live migration succeeds for both a Linux VM and a Windows VM. 3. A simulated node failure triggers automatic fail-over within the default timeout. 4. Replication traffic and storage I/O stay on the 10 Gb interface, while management remains on the primary NIC. If you have recent experience delivering similar Proxmox HA setups, let’s get this done.

** HUMAN PROPOSAL - NO BOT TEXT *** Hello, I can architect and deploy your Proxmox HA cluster immediately. Since you are utilizing hardware RAID 10 and a dedicated 10Gb backplane for inter-node communication, the most critical challenge is ensuring Corosync and storage traffic are properly isolated on the 10Gb network to prevent latency spikes from causing a cluster split-brain during heavy VM replication or backups. I will perform a clean installation of Proxmox VE 8.x on all nodes and configure the 10Gb interfaces with a dedicated MTU 9000 (Jumbo Frames) to maximize throughput to your Synology NAS. I will integrate the Synology via iSCSI for the VM disks to ensure the best performance for your Windows and Linux guests, while keeping management and user traffic strictly on your primary LAN. I will tune the Corosync priority settings to prefer the 10Gb link and set up HA groups with specific failover policies. Finally, I will conduct a live migration and a power-loss simulation to prove that your virtual machines restart automatically on remaining nodes within your required timeout. I guarantee I will support you until the cluster survives a physical node failure test and all guests migrate without a single dropped packet. Best, Ahmad

Hi, there, I'm an experienced Proxmox engineer with a strong background in virtualization, network administration, and system administration. I have successfully set up HA clusters and tuned them for high availability and fast replication. ✅ I will begin by performing a clean installation of Proxmox VE on the 3-to-4-node cluster. Following this, I will configure HA groups to ensure the cluster operates seamlessly. ✅ Subsequently, I will focus on tuning corosync for the dedicated 10 Gb network to eliminate bandwidth bottlenecks. This step will include integrating the Synology NAS for reliable HA on hardware RAID. ✅ Next, I will conduct tests to ensure the cluster shows a healthy quorum with all nodes online. Live migration for both Linux and Windows VMs will be performed successfully. ✅ In case of a simulated node failure, automatic fail-over within the default timeout will be triggered, guaranteeing uninterrupted service. Replication traffic and storage I/O will be directed through the 10 Gb interface. ✅ Finally, I will validate that management remains on the primary NIC, ensuring seamless operation of the cluster. I look forward to working with you. Best Regards.

I design resilient Proxmox clusters built for real HA, not “lab-grade” setups. I’ll deploy your 3–4 node VE cluster on RAID10, isolate corosync + replication over the 10 Gb backplane, integrate Synology (NFS/iSCSI tuned for HA), and configure HA groups for automatic failover. You’ll get tested live migration (Linux/Windows), verified quorum, controlled node-failure simulation, and clean documentation. Production-ready, not experimental.
