Is this worth setting up in a homelab context? I have two VE nodes and one Backup server and I kind of want to play around with this but I feel like it'll be way overkill lol

    One if the things I appreciated about proxmox is that each instance in a cluster provides an interface for all members of the cluster. Thus i would say this concept makes zero sense for a few systems in one place.

    Contrast with VMware where you got stuck with vcenter if you had more than a single hypervisor.

    vCenter itself wasn't really useful until version 4.x or so. It got a lot more modern at 5.5, the dawn of the recognizable vCenter, but up to that point people considered vCenter optional.

    In much the same fashion, this PDM is just a bolt-on addition right now, nearly useless.
    But its gonna become a locus for service management, and it will eventually be an integral piece of your cluster.

    I would like to see PDM bring new DR replication capabilities to us. Sorely needed.
