    My new OSNexus QuantaStor HA SAN

    Yes, Steve upped it for QS6, was hoping for 80-100T but 60T for a lab is still a good bit for an all-flash array. There is tail that as long as you are doing cool stuff at home you can get your license bumped to what you need, just no support outside of the forum. I just made a HA QS6 array at...

    QS6 is now out and the community edition got a bump in space. “Community Edition (60TB raw capacity limit per server, time-limited 2-year license, 4x servers max per storage grid)”

    Sync always is a bit rough, but better than NFS. As far as optane goes I only use it in my TrueNAS pools, I don't have any that do u.2 2x2 atm, so thats a nogo for HA atm. Yes SLOG/ZIL has to be shared.

    Well, multipathing figured out, but sad showing.

    It's the same pool if thats what you mean. I will have to play with NFSv4 then if it will do multi-path in ESXi/QS

    If you can make NFS do multipath to really take advantage of a single client, I only get this on NFS.

    Size is the only limit, in QS6 we are getting multitenancy, and a bigger community licence. In theory, anything that presents in storage direct mode should work? "by the end of the year" so around then. I personally use optain and it works great. Though if you just want NFS to be fast, just...

    Here is a 512byte IO test for iops. ~30-45K per node, think that has more to do with the ESXi NICs though, not all copy pasta HW.

    I was more or less told that "it's just ubuntu" aka don't touch our stuff, but the OS is kinda fair game, though this was in response to me wanting to put the Splunk forwarder on it to get logs off of it. This is the set of version locked packages that you really really should not touch.

    I would assume async but I also have delayed ack turned off in iscsi.

    My new OSNexus QuantaStor HA SAN

    So talking with Steven Umbehocker his view of the community edition is that you should be able to take 5-6 of the largest drives at the time and make a pool, so expect that change to come with QS6 and be something like 100TiB, but when talking about SSD storage it starts to get cost prohibitive...

    My new OSNexus QuantaStor HA SAN

    I have done a lot of proformance tuning, but it's not much more than I have had to do for a Pure or even PowerMax array, there are some things like messing with cstates and the cpu governor that I can do on here that I can't on a "real" array. Some of the big stuff is replacing the inbox NIC...

    My new OSNexus QuantaStor HA SAN

    So I have always wanted a ZFS HA SAN for the house, and a project at work introduced me to OSNexus QuantaStor, as well as their amazing CEO/CTO Steven Umbehocker who ended up handling my sales call during December a year or so ago while his sales staff was I guess doing holiday stuff. After...
