Hello everyone!
I’m looking to set up Active Directory at home along with RHEL IDM, but I only have one available Dell R710 for this purpose. My plan is to install XCP-NG on the Dell R710, accompanied by a small VM running Xen Orchestra Community Edition for management. Additionally, I intend to create two main VMs: one with Windows Server for Active Directory and a second one with Linux running RHEL IDM.
My primary concern revolves around the CPU and whether it will be sufficient to run this setup. The Windows Server will also serve as the DHCP and DNS server for my network, which includes multiple VLANs.

I’m running proxmox on that same machine with a 9 node k8s cluster serving zabbix, zammad, coreDNS, three Grav sites and it’s also the SAN for my Longhorn implementation as It’s got a 10gig sfp+ card in it. Powerdraw sits at around 630 watts on average. It’s in a corosync cluster with an R720xd and my old gaming PC.
