Slot to add disk over

[Rodrigo Salustiano]

My server had 6 slto sata, now i need more space. With Freenas is possible add disk another pool disk hardware ( another server ) and see only one volume group ?

 

[nojohnny101]

so your motherboard has 6 sata slots and they are all filled? what is your motherboard?

if I am understanding you correctly, then you probably should use a HBA.

Do you mean like connecting a JBOD?

my growth limit is i don´t have space to add more disk in my motherboard. but i have another hardware. how can i create cluster com freenas ?

FreeNAS doesn't support clustering. If your enclosure has room for more disks, add an HBA to connect them and go to town. If not, add an HBA and an external JBOD shelf, or move your pool to hardware that has room for more disks.

 

[Rodrigo Salustiano]

Yes, but with server separeted. EX :

Server A 6TB + ServerB 6TB = Pool 12TB

OK ?

 

[Ericloewe]

No, that is not possible.

 

[depasseg]

OK ?

No. It's not OK.

You can have Server A + JBOD Enclosure (connected via SAS cable). You cannot have 2 separate servers.

 

[nojohnny101]

Server A 6TB + ServerB 6TB = Pool 12TB

Server A 6TB + Server B 6TB = Pool A 6TB + Pool B 6TB

Fixed that for you!
