So I want to throw up a SOFS at home using a 24 bay c6100 with 2 nodes being Hyper-V hosts and the other 2 SOFS.
My equipment at the moment consists of:
C6100 24 bay with IB daughter cards
2x nodes - Hyper-V hosts with 1 local drive [5 bays free per node]
2x nodes - each node has the file server role and a local RAID10 (4x256GB Samsung Pro SSDs) attached to 9211-8i [1 bay free per node]
24 Port IB switch
9260-8i
Intel SR1680MV 2 node but no IB
I'd like optimize my storage and possibly build a shared JBOD to use as a target for the SOFS. I'm uncertain on what type of controller I'd need to use in order to make that happen. The local storage options on the C6100 are nice but I can't think of a way to present those to the 2 SOFS nodes as 1 array instead of 2 like it's setup now.
The 24 bay SuperMicro cases look appealing as I could throw in my 4TB backup drives into it and also the SSDs but I'm not sure that's the most efficient route to take.
Any advice is appreciated.
