Hello all,
I've been reading about running a production OI/Napp-it setup, and it seems that things should be ok aside from no paid support(like Nexenta). I've setup a basic SAN at home presenting iSCSI to my 2008 R2 server and it has been working great with no issue for the past 6+ months.
Regarding Napp-it, I can't believe how such a great package is free - what an easy to use interface.
Plan on doing the same thing for a Hyper-V server using iSCSI for storage.
SETUP:
SM CSE-847A-R1400LPB
SM X8DAH+-f / 72GB RAM / 1 x X5675
24 x 3TB SATA Hitachi drives (debating between striping mirrors, or using triple mirrors for safety - capacity isn't as much of an issue with 3tb drives)
2 x ZeusRAM for ZIL (hopefully!)
LSI HBA (9211-8i / 9207-8i)
X520-DA2
Any best practices for iSCSI with Hyper-V, block size / etc? Anyone currently using async replication to another device, or any other add-ons that Napp-it has?
Anyone know of any companies offering support for OI/Napp-it in case of any issue in the future?
Thanks in advance,
