So my next attempt to find a suitable storage for my ESX boxes, this time a large single SSD filer (with a secondary hdd/optane box + smaller slower vsan robo cluster for mixed mode high resilience).
So I restarted my old napp-it installation (Feb '18), ran update (none avail) and the started blasting away at my pool.
1. CPU is a 2667 ES2 (2.6Ghz), 4 cores allocated to the VM on a X10SRA (x16/x8/x8/x8)
2. 16 GB Ram allocated
3. Drives are S3700 400Gb - i have a large number in this system but it didn't look good so I went back to a small pool to check.
4. Disks are in a Supermicro 846 with -A Backplane and attached to a 9305-16i (x8) and a 9305-8i (in x8)
5. All tests local , tried e1000 and vmxnet3 network card even if it should not matter, still old hardware version from ova, ESX is some 6.5 variant
I ran 4,6,8 drives in mirrors - most values are kind of identical and I have no clue why that would be?
Will recheck Bios settings in the morning just to be sure.
