Hello all,
i am looking for some advice and hoping some guys can help me / hint me in the right direction.
I got these parts:
Running in a HP ML10 v2 including:
Intel Xeon 1230v3
4x 8GB DDR3
2012 R2 Datacenter - Hyper-V enabled
I'm passing through the disks into a VM (8 Cores, 4GB RAM, sep. 64GB VHDx for OS, 2012R2) and configured a storage space:
Get-PhysicalDisk -CanPool $True | ft FriendlyName,OperationalStatus,Size,MediaType
$pd = (Get-PhysicalDisk -CanPool $True | Where MediaType -NE UnSpecified)
New-StoragePool -PhysicalDisks $pd –StorageSubSystemFriendlyName “Storage Spaces*” -FriendlyName “Pool” -LogicalSectorSizeDefault 4096
Get-StoragePool -FriendlyName "Pool" | Get-PhysicalDisk | Select FriendlyName, MediaType
#Set 2 SSDs as Journal
Set-PhysicalDisk –Usage Journal –FriendlyName PhysicalDisk8
Set-PhysicalDisk –Usage Journal –FriendlyName PhysicalDisk9
#Create two tiers in the Storage Pool created. One for SSD disks and one for HDD disks
$ssd_Tier = New-StorageTier -StoragePoolFriendlyName "Pool" -FriendlyName SSD_Tier -MediaType SSD
$hdd_Tier = New-StorageTier -StoragePoolFriendlyName "Pool" -FriendlyName HDD_Tier -MediaType HDD
$vd1 = New-VirtualDisk -StoragePoolFriendlyName "Pool" -FriendlyName SRV_DB -StorageTiers @($ssd_tier, $hdd_tier) -StorageTierSizes @(230GB, 7450GB) -ResiliencySettingName Mirror -WriteCacheSize 100GB
Am i doing some major mistakes to this point?
I tried to match my config with this guide:
and added a few details (4K sector size, journaling and wbc).
I also tried to configure my Storage Space with parity instead of mirror but the performance has been... well.. there was nothing that could be called performance :/
My major goal is to create an affordable and fairly fast storage. As Im running out of space soon in mirrored mode i'd prefer to switch to parity AND still retain the neccessary speed to satisfy 1GBit/s networks properly (2-4 users) There is NO NEED to backup the data which is stored on it but i'd like to have a small level of failure safety.
Thanks so far and greetings from germany.
P.S.:
As some maybe noticed i'm not a native speaking. If i seem impolite sometimes... that's definitely NOT my intention. Please forgive
