      If you want to use replication, you are required to setup the system with ZFS based storage, not LVM-thin (the default).

        Nice to see the SSD wearout info handily though.

          So I wiped and reinstalled as ZFS.

          Replication going.

          VM 100 is not running yet, because I am still importing the VM disks.

            @JaredBusch what is the storage system like that you're using? BYOD without an raid card or are you bypassing it?

              This is a test system until the servers arrive in a couple weeks.
              Old desktop with 2 SSD and old laptop with an SSD.

              Chose ZFS RAID0 during setup as I will use that on the live system. Because the live system will be hardware RAID.

                Just a heads up you can't use Hardware RAID and ZFS pools, I attempted this and the entire system baulked.

                  What you would need to do would be a small Raid 1 and use the remaining drives for the ZFS pool.

                  If you wanted any redundancy at the hypervisor.

                    I don't want ZFS at all. But PM requires it for replication.

                      That's fine

                      PM doesn't support replication with hardware raid backed arrays. You'd have to install outside of the primary intended storage and then create your ZFS pool using the unused drives.
