Hello All,
I have read through several threads and articles but many have mixed information because of different versions and such.
I'm looking to utilize FreeNAS as an iscsi device for several vm's.
I'm setting up HPDL180 w/HP410 using Raid 5 (maybe 6) to utilize all the drives and then make it available to vmware. I will be putting a separate drive to run FreeNAS.
In respect to connectivity I will use several ethernet ports built into the server and later look at getting a 10gb ethernet card or infiniband to improve performance between the array and the servers.
I used FreeNAS one time in a test environment many years ago, so I don't have recent version experience and looking for guidance here since I have a short timeline to install and setup.
Any suggestions, reference material and such is appreciated!
thank you!
