Howdy,
I have been searching around here and there and can not seam to find a good answer to my question. Currently I have a freenas setup. 10 x 3tb wd red drives. I allocated all the drives to one setup. What I would like to do is add some iscsi shares or storage and use it with my vmware esxi 6.0 server. From what I am seeing I need to have an extra disk to setup iscsi. Is this the only way. Am I not able to use some of my free space from y current storage setup.
I am not sure I am using the correct terminology as FreeNAS is still new to me when it comes to configuring for performance and administration. I recently moved to a 10gb network and am building a new vmware server. I would like to best utilize this new bandwidth and abilities to maximize the benefits. Will this be possible with out loosing the 14tb I have on the setup?
Any advice or suggestions are welcome. If you need more info please let me know and Ill be happy to provide it.
