I've moved my Supermicro 846EL1-900B chassis from a APC SmartUPS 1500 to a SmartUPS 6000 on 240V/30A circuit. Since then, during weekly scrubs the ESXi NICs drop and the Management Network and the VMs are not pingable. The VMs are still running, but I can't bring them back until I force shutdown the VMs (bad!) and reboot the host. This has happened every week since I moved from 120V to 240V for the server. I'm thinking that with this issue, along with one of the slots in the backplane being funky, and being nearly out of space, that it's time to move to a different storage JBOD. I think I could completely unplug the backplane from power/SAS and that would free up some power and I wouldn't drop NICs.
So I'd like to look at a JBOD that's 48 disks or maybe 60! Does anyone have any suggestions? I've got an LSI 9201-16e that I bought from eBay already flashed to IT mode, so I'm good. Would love some opinions!
