Hi guys,
After happily running freenas on an ibm x3400 for some time, i really needed to get a machine that could do more than just freenas, i needed to host invoicing software etc, and not to mention playing with servers is fun, well, most of the times.
I thought i would start setting up a vmware server running freenas and windows for all other stuff.
So basically , i have a new to me Dell R710 running an h700 for 2x hdds bays raid1 running vmware and datastores, and passthrough flashed m1015 running 4x freenas storage bays (as im still testing i havent transferred storage disks from the x3400 yet)
Btw the noise levels and power consumption have dropped so much its not even funny
The r710 specs are pretty cool compared to the x3400, with 64gb and 2x x5660 (6cores each)
Quick question after all the talking, whats the easiest way to stress test this thing?
M1015 sitting nicely on top of the H700
