Hi guys,
I have just detailed my latest builds based on two HP Microserver Gen8 chassis in this blog post:
http://blog.mrossi.com/2019/04/a-tale-of-two-zfs-servers-or-how-i.html

In short:

  • 1x HP Microserver Gen8
    • 16GB ECC RAM
    • Xeon E3-1265L V2@ 2.50Ghz
    • 1x LSI SAS 9212-4i4e Controller
    • 2x 60GB SSD (OS)
    • 2x480GB SSD (SSD POOL)
    • 1x120GB SSD (HD pool Cache)
    • 2x10TB WD Red HDDs (HD POOL in RAID1)
  • 1x HP Microserver Gen8
    • 16GB ECC RAM
    • Xeon E3-1265L V2@ 2.50Ghz
    • 1x 800GB Nytro WarpDrive BLP4-800
      • 1x OS drive
      • 2x SSD POOL
      • 1x HD Pool Cace
    • 3x6TB WD Red HDDs (HD Pool RAIDZ1)

Happy to report that everything works as expected, including a Docker VM (custom built, not RancherOs) and a PfSense VM pulling firewall duty and multiple jails going from a Plex server, to syncthing and syncovery (a cloud storage backup solution)

Regards,
Mattia
