I have little to no knowledge of hw networking (I understand, what is switch, read few articles on networking with DAC cables, FC cables etc).
I did prepare little diagram of what I come with.
Notes:
- Server 3 serves as staging storage
- Low power PC already has one integrated 1Gbs port
- servers are DL380p Gen8
- low power PC is some 4 core 25W TDP AMD
- every DS4243 nas IOM3 with 3Gbps interface
- data generation is very IO heavy on hdds that's why I need to quickly move them to staging storage (S3)
Workflow of this system (Server 1- S1, Server 2 - S2...):
1 - data (large files ~100 GB) are generated on S1, S2 (maybe S3 if there is enough headroom)
2 - I need to quickly (as fast as possible) store generated files (one/two at the time) from S1 and S2 to S3 (S3 has RAID 0) to leave all processing power for generating data
3 - transfer files from S3 to Low power PC to which are connected two drives on DS4243s by SFP+ to QSFP DAC cable
Will this configuration work? If so, is it very difficult to setup?
This solution without 10gbe switch will cost me ~120 euros so could be pretty cheap
I also attached diagram source file if necessary (.drawio file to use in www diagrameditor com )
Diagram:
Thanks a lot
