I moved from 16Gb FC to to 40Gb, and I ended up just deleting my NappIT VM and figured I would start from scratch. I started with a new OVA deployment of NappIT, then passed through my HBA, Optane 900P 280GB and ConnectX-4. I had problems with the ConnectX-4, so I left it added to vSphere, and gave the VM two additional vmxnet3 adapters.
However, when I configured the pool, I am getting about half of the performance I used to get. I think I configured it the same as before. I have six 4TB HGST drives, and the Optane 900p. I configred three mirrors, and then added 32GB of the Optane is split into a 32GB write-log and the rest as read-cache. I get roughly the same speed on the pool that I get across the wire.
One other change...I upgraded from a single Xeon E5-26xxv2 (I dont remember which one) on an X9SRL-F, to an Epyc 7251 on an H11SSL-NC.
So, my question is, is this the optimal config with the hardware I have? I need about 8TB of usable space, and speed and resilliancy is what I really care about.
Thanks.
