I just built a 'custom' NAS using RHEL8 in a CSE-216 chassis. Hardware is:
2x2630L v2
96GB PC3-10600R
Supermicro X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD
8x1TB BX500 (Raid5) **Will be scaled to 2x24TB**
3x480GB SM953 (Raid5) ** Currently adding 3 more once they arrive**
NFS and SMB are working great but I am curious if I should change the CPU. I cant find any documentation on the way VDO operates and I dont know where my bottleneck is. I get about 24Gbps with compression and dedupe enabled, and I can saturate the 40Gb link with them disabled. With compression/dedupe my CPU usage is only about 15% with 24Gbps throughput. My question is should I look into a faster lower core count CPU? Any thoughts on diagnosing?
