Hey Noob here just trying the figure out the best way to configure TrueNAS.
I have an old system:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G3420 @ 3.20GHz
8 GB of RAM
Highpoint RocketRaid 642L controller
8 X 4 GB 7200 RPM drives
1 X 1 GB onboard NIC
1 X 4 port 1 GB NIC (Jumbo Frames, 9000 MTU)
Looking for the best configuration ideas. My current thinking is to have the onboard NIC connected to my network and the 4 port NIC connected directly to my other system (Windows Server).
The 4 port NIC is split across 4 separate networks using iSCSI MPIO.
I'm noticing a lot of broadcast traffic when moving data to the NAS causing a slowdown on the Windows Server. I considered configuring 4 VLANs for the 4 port NIC to reduce broadcast zones, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to set this up.
This is only a temporary configuration so I can move about 15 TB of data to the TrueNAS storage, but I'm concerned that it starts at about 800 - 900 MB/s and drops down to KB/s. I figure this is due to broadcast and setting up VLANs on the TrueNAS would be a great way to eliminate the problem.
I'm going to give that configuration a try, but I would like to know the thoughts of some of the TrueNAS pros.
Thanks in Advance.
