What's the best method to store/share Hyper V VM's on FreeNAS?
Background:
How would you recommend accessing FreeNAS for Hyper V VM's?
Thanks in advance for your help!
- I'm seeing ISCSI and SMB as potential options.
- ISCSI seems to not be ideal for the fact that it's a whole additional filesystem on top of ZFS
- SMB - Having permission issues with Hyper V (Which seems to be a common Hyper V thing)
- Does having a Windows domain solve this issue?
- Is SMB/ISCSI better from a power loss/data loss perspective?
Background:
- Hardware - (i5, 8GB, 3x Seagate Ironwolf Pro 12TB, 2x 128 Samsung 850 Pro SSD, Intel quad port NIC)
- Hoping to aggregate the links either through SMB or LACP
- Currently just a proof of concept. Will upgrade hardware once this works.
- Lab environment (eg basic hardware, gigabit network, not production etc)
- Standalone Freenas setup (no AD integration etc)
- Two Standalone HyperV hosts (not domain joined)
- No domain network
- 10 VM's, mostly Windows Server 2019
