looking at switching my storage servers over to iscsi.
Storage Server:
Freenas 11.2-u8
192gb ecc-ram
13 mirror vdevs - Sata 4tb 7200 Barracuda Pro Drives
Intel P3700 2TB for L2Arc
2 mirrors 800gb P3700 OP to 100GB for SLOG
Chelsios 40GB Ethernet
Dual E5-2697V2 Cpus
LSI 12gb SAS/SAta Adapter
Tunables:
ESXI:
Using the software iscsi adapter
Disabled Delayed ACK
HP/Broadcom 10gb adapter.
Storage/VM traffic on seperate links/switches
384gb ram
Dual E2697 vs cpus.
Looking to see what others are doing for high performing servers.
