Hello All, I'm an IT professional (Oracle Database Systems Engineer) and I'm new to FreeNas. I'm eager to learn how to use this wonderful Tool and incorporate it for private use and also for training/testing purposes. I'd like to use FreeNas in conjunction with Xen Virtualization software to carve out VMs (linux, windows OS). So far I have 3 Dell R710 servers (64GB of RAM installed in the first 2 of them, 96GB of RAM in the third one - This one also comes with Integrated H700 RAID Controller) I'm going to use my initial setup.

Additional Parts I have:
4 x 4TB WB Red Pro HDDs
Cisco Switch
LSI 9211-8i HBA card
Mini SAS to 4-SATA SFF-8087 breakout wire
Many Cat5e patch wires

I have lots of questions regarding FreeNas and configuring/setting up one of the Dell R700 servers as a NAS server. I'm looking forward to experimenting and getting assistance in getting done. Any feedback and sharing of knowledge to get me to my goal will be appreciated. Thank you.

Regards,

NeoStorm
