[PVE-User] how many nodes can there be in a proxmox cluster ?

>>When you say 20 nodes with unicast - you're saying they're across subnets? 

no , currently, same subnet, on same pair of switch (mlag).
It's a quite new mellanox switch s2100, with fast asics. (avg latency 0.015ms)


I have too much problem with multicast in my infra.

no special tuning.


i had a older cluster, where in past I had to tune

  token: 4000

in corosync config.


I'm planning to test it across differents datacenter soon (1ms latency), but I don't think it'll possible
with theses latencies

Hey Alexandre, 

When you say 20 nodes with unicast - you're saying they're across subnets? 

I ask because we've been looking at doing this, more for a vCenter-like 
single console to manage all VMs and hosts instead of HA, but I thought I 
read on the proxmox wiki that it wasn't recommended for larger clusters? 
Does it work well for you at 20 nodes or are there any config tweaks or 
gotchas that you've run into? 

Thanks, 

Josh
