Hi Guys!
I'm in the middle of planning zfs based storage for my esxi cluster.
The storage hardware is this:
Supermicro X10dru-i+
2x Intel Xeon e5-2430L v3
32GB memory 2133Mhz running on 1866Mhz
4x10G NIC
2x Samsung PM1725a 800GB U.2 (plan to buy 2 more)
1x Samsung PM1735 6.4TB pcie 4.0
7x6TB SAS Seagate HDD's -> these are currently in a truenas box in raidz2
1x4TB for NVR
The software i would like to use is Osnexus quantastor 6.
My original plan is to give NFS to my hosts via 1x40G/host connection to the server, but i think i'll able to use NVMeOF as well.
Now for the test purposes i can have a 2x10G connection to the hosts.
I would like to use the ssd parts for virtualization with a mix usage of web servers, database servers, simple VMs and files as well.
The hdd part will be used for file storing and some backup of the VMs and yes the little 4TB one is just for only NVR purposes.
What are your recommendations for this usecase? I mean configurations, zpool settings etc etc for speed and reliablility maybe some hardware more ram etc...
Thank you!
