Hello,
Currently in the midst of setting up a new Freenas system with some old and some new parts. I'm particularly interested in 10g connectivity options. Here's my proposed setup.
Gigabyte Motherboard MB10-DS1 Xeon D-1521
32 gig ECC Ram
5 - 4TB drives - Raid Z2
Chelsio S310E-CR 10
NAS will be directly connected to a Windows 2016 Server via a second Chelsio S310E-CR 10. I would like to use iscsi and have the vm's live on Freenas. Any gotcha's with this set up? Some research suggests that 10g and iscsi is very cpu intensive and the Xeon D-1521 may not be up to the task.
Thanks.
