  • Install Proxmox for Chia plotter T620
  • Single 40GbE NIC can handle 2 plotters well, 3 plotters we start to bottleneck
  • VM storage setup (ZFS for VM store)
  • Passthrough GPUs
    • All Features and Rom bar. Not primary GPU.
  • Mount remote file stores via NFS
  • Benchmark your write speed to ensure 700 MB/s per plotter can be hit (a good idea to do if following and on 40Gbe)
  • Download plotting software
  • Choose your level of compression and K size (K32 is gonna be okay I think)
  • Start your plotting!
