Host System Administration
|
||
==========================
|
||
include::attributes.txt[]
|
||
|
||
{pve} is based on the famous https://www.debian.org/[Debian] Linux
|
||
distribution. That means that you have access to the whole world of
|
||
Debian packages, and the base system is well documented. The
|
||
https://debian-handbook.info/download/stable/debian-handbook.pdf[Debian
|
||
Administrator\'s Handbook] is available online, and provides a
|
||
comprehensive introduction to the Debian operating system (see
|
||
xref:Hertzog13[]).
|
||
|
||
A standard {pve} installation uses the default repositories from
|
||
Debian, so you get bug fixes and security updates through that
|
||
channel. In addition, we provide our own package repository to roll
|
||
out all {pve} related packages. This includes updates to some
|
||
Debian packages when necessary.
|
||
|
||
We also deliver a specially optimized Linux kernel, where we enable all
|
||
required virtualization and container features. That kernel includes
|
||
drivers for http://zfsonlinux.org/[ZFS], and several hardware drivers.
|
||
For example, we ship Intel network card drivers to support their
|
||
newest hardware.
|
||
|
||
The following sections will concentrate on virtualization related
|
||
topics. They either explains things which are different on {pve}, or
|
||
tasks which are commonly used on {pve}. For other topics, please refer
|
||
to the standard Debian documentation.
|
||
|
||
System requirements
|
||
-------------------
|
||
|
||
For production servers, high quality server equipment is needed. Keep
|
||
in mind, if you run 10 Virtual Servers on one machine and you then
|
||
experience a hardware failure, 10 services are lost. {pve}
|
||
supports clustering, this means that multiple {pve} installations
|
||
can be centrally managed thanks to the included cluster functionality.
|
||
|
||
{pve} can use local storage (DAS), SAN, NAS and also distributed
|
||
storage (Ceph RBD). For details see xref:chapter-storage[chapter storage].
