Hello everyone,
I currently have a Dell R320 that was given to me at work.
CPU: E5-2430
RAM: 24GB ECC RAM
Storage: 1 x 8GB USB for ESXi, 1 x 500GB 850 EVO SSD for VMs, 7 x 4TB Seagate HDDS (not yet added)
Controller: PERC H710; RAID or HBA mode
Aside from adding the drives via PCI passthrough using the PERC as an HBA card, are there any other settings that need to be adjusted in order to ensure that FreeNAS has direct access to the drives. I will be using the FreeNAS VM to host Plex media files which will be sent to another VM on ESXi.
I will also have a dedicated NIC for FreeNAS and one for Plex.
Looking forward to being a part of this community!
