Hello,
I recently purchased a 10TB iron wolf seagate drive that I am planning on installing in my Dell Box. My goal is to create a FreeNAS VM (I'm running customized dell version of ESXi 6.0) and use the 10TB drive for my pool.
I've read several articles calling to disable certain features, or to use ISCSI, etc. Any thoughts or considerations I should take into account when getting this up and running?
I've got a test version up and running, however, in ESXi VM settings for FreeNAS 9.1, when I set Seagate drive to be using "ISCSI", FreeNAS bombs with an error. When i set it to SATA it works just fine. I've also read several threads of related to esxi and FreeNAS, warning to be cautious of various settings, otherwise incorrect settings could lead to complete data loss related to ZFS pools.
your help is appreciated!
