Hi Folks, We have a project coming on line that will require ~ 140Tb of disk space. My Chassis build will basically be two of the following, connected via SAS expander (or I may build out rather than up???). If the pilot proves successful, we could endup setting up serveral (6+) of these.
Motherboard: SuperMicro X9DRI-F Socket LGA2011
CPU: Intel Xeon Quad Core E5-2609V2 2.5 GHz Processor
RAM: 32GB DDR3-1333 PC3-10600 CL9 ECC Registered DDR3 RAM (4x8GB)
NIC: 4 x Intel® i350 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Controller: LSI 9211 (Host) Controller in JBOD mode
Case: Supermicro CSE-846BE16-R920B
PwrSupply: 920 Watts Redundant Power Supply
HDD: 4TB X 24 Seagate Constellation ES.3 7200 RPM
I plan on creating 1 ZPOOL by combining 4 vdevs at 12 drives each running RAIDZ2. I considered RAIDZ3 but the capacity requirements nessitate that I stop at RAIDZ2
The plan is to attach to a windows server via iSCSI (1Gb) for now, possilby bonding in the future. We'll be storing security footage (H264 = Compressed). Everyday we'll be adding roughly 1Tb of HD (5 Mpixel) video with a retention of just under 140 days.
If you have any critques please lay them on me. I've spent the last two weeks studing and devouring anything I can get on ZFS. I'm hoping more eyes will shed light on weak spots. Over the past two years, I've ran smaller (much smaller) implementations with only 1 vdev/zpool in the past that I can't even compare to this. I'm wondering if someone could tell me if I'm thinking correctly on my zpool setup or do I need to break the vdevs into smaller units for performance ?
Thank you for your time!
