Hi,
I have the following setup and I want to create a HA Cluster for some VMs.
1 x Dell C6320 ( 4 nodes, each with 2 x Xeon E5-2690 & 256GB RAM DDR4, 2 SFP+ ports & 2 Gbit RJ45 ports ) whereon I want to setup a HA Cluster with Proxmox
( no raid controller, I won't use any storage on C6320, except for the hypervisor)
1 x HP DL 385p ( 2 x Opteron 6376, 8 x 8GB RAM, HP P420i RAID controller with 2GB mem & BBU, 2 SFP+ ports ( HP 530FLR-SFP+ ) + 2 SFP+ ports ( Intel X520-DA2 )
19 x 900GB HDD 6G SAS HGST
6 x 1TB SSD SATA Samsung
to be used with FreeNAS as storage for the HA Cluster
1 x Fujitsu RX300 S6 ( 2 x E5630, 16GB RAM, LSI SAS 6Gb/s PCIe 512MB RAID controller, 4 SAS 3G 15k 146GB & 2x 4TB WD RED SATA ) as a storage for backups
1 x HP MicroServer Gen10 Plus ( Xeon E2224 & 16GB RAM, HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10) with 4 x 8TB WD RED SATA for offsite backups.
I've read that FreeNAS is not working very well with P420i controller used in HBA mode.
Using the controller in RAID mode would offer a better performance (with HP SSD Smart Path) in terms of IOPS etc ?
What you recommend ?
Ditch Proxmox & FreeNas and use other solutions?
Thank you for your support!
