Numbering Scheme

This is our way of numbering all the machines created within proxmox in our lab. This will prevent any machine from having the same number across the entire cluster of servers. It will also make it quick to determine what hypervisor it is running on and what type of machine it is.

Rack Node Container (0) or VM (1) or Clone (2) or terraform (3) Numbering Numbering
  • Rack: Relates to the physical server rack. A, B, or C
  • Node: Relates to the specific server within the rack it is running on.
  • Container (0) or VM (1) or Clone (2) or terraform (3): Relates to type of machine.
  • Numbering: Sequential numbering, +1 from last machine created on the node.
