I haven't found a lot of info on running a ZFS system in a VM. I wanted to do this so I don't have to build two physical systems.
I have enough hardware to run it without a performance hit:
C204 motherboard, Xeon E3 1270, 8 or 12gb DDR3, 6 sata ports.
I wanted to set up a 4 drive Raid Z using the onboard Sata 3 ports. Sata 6 isn't necessary as my network is only 1Gbps and that will be the bottleneck.
Does anyone have experience setting this up or a good walkthrough? I am new to Raid storage and I have limited experience with VMs in Server 2008 R2.
Any help is most appreciated.
