Greetings all,
I am building a high-capacity chassis for our datacenter to become our new Xen spin-up vm's and part of it as cifs nas . The storage hw is as follows:
Chassis: Supermicro 4U Storage Server Up 60 H.D. & 6 NVME SSG6048RE1CR60L Integrated HBA LSI 3008
CPU: 2x E5-2620V4
Memory: 512G RAM
Disks: 36x Seagate 3.5”, 10TB, SAS12Gb/s,7.2K RPM, 256M, 512E,Performance (TATSU)Helium ,4x Intel P3600 800GB, NVMe PCIe 3.0,HET MLC 2.5" 20nm 3DWPD
Network: SIOM 4 x port 10G SFP+,Intel XL710 AOC MTG I4S-O, 2x port GbE Intel i350
I have done many of research with regards to the RAID strategy for the drives, however, it seems there is no optimum configuration for 36-disk chassis. Evidently,18x 2-RAIDZ2 vdevs are not good, nor is a single 36+1 RAIDZ2 or RAIDZ3 vdev.
Can someone please shed some light on the optimum RAID config for a 36-disk chassis trade of optimum performance/space/fault tolerance that will be used as virtual spin-up and cifs servers? I thought about creating a zpool with different RAIDZ vdevs like 3 x12 z2 vdev or 6x 6 z2 , but I am not sure if that is best practice.
Thanks.
