I am newbie to FreeNAS so don't beat me up too much for my questions. I am an Oracle DBA and want to do some testing on my home ESXi lab. It's not much just a Dell t3500. I want to run FreeNAS on a VM and create either an NFS or a ZFS mount to be able to create asm disks to share for oracle rac to run and do some testing. I have a 1TB internal drive that is not being used by the ESXi box to use for the storage. Can someone lead me down the right path? Am i crazy to try this? Can ZFS be set up with one direct attached drive? Is it better to just have FreeNAS use the one single drive as NFS? Thanks in advance.
