Hey there
I'm about to build a NFS storage for two ESXi hosts
The Box will based on an Intel Server Chassis
Hardware
2x Intel Xeon 5620 2,4GHz
48GB DDR3 ECC Ram
12x WD 1TB RE4
2x Intel 320 SSD 120GB (on internal SATA)
LSI SAS 9211-8i IT Firmware
Intel 10Gbe CX4 Dual Port
8GB SATA DOM (FreeNas boot)
This box will be connected via a HP 2910al with 4 10Gbe CX4 Uplinks
In the first instance i will just use on port of the card to connect the storage
Each ESXi will have a 10Gbe link to the same switch as well
I hope to get dencent speed out of this box
Does anybody tryied an aggregated link with two 10Gbe interfaces on Freenas ?
Since i have two ESXi should I split my storage in two seperat datasets for each ESXi to share ? will this help on I/O
Which RaidZ Level ?
I'm primary using NFS, so what would be the best to use the 2 SSD's for
LOG or Cache on ZFS ?
