Hey Guys,
I have acquired said server and have both storage enclosures, MD1000 is Direct Attached Storage, requiring a perc5/6 which I have.. MD3000 has raid cards onboard and I would need an HBA.
Not sure which one I will use but my question is will Freenas see my array?
I'd like to install Freenas onto the 2950, direct attach w/ perc5/6 to Array. But the RAID is done on the Perc5 card.. I've heard that you can RAID0 all your disks on the Perc and then use ZFS once you install Freenas as a work around.
Is this a good idea? are there any caveats?
Thanks!
