FreeNAS-9.10.2-U6
My current chassis/MB is this: https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/4U/6047/SSG-6047R-E1CR36N.cfm
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9DRi-LN4F_.cfm
My RAM: http://www.compsource.com/pn/DTM64400B/Dataram-127/8gb--240pin-2rx4-Registered/
I have 12x8GB sticks of ECC Registered filled up for the CPU 1.
CPU 1 is for the front backplane.
CPU2 is not installed as it's only for the rear backplane. (24 HDDs in the front, 12 in the back)
I have 18 4TB HDDs (in 3x6HDD ZRAID6 config) installed and am in the planning phases of installing 6 more 4TB HDDs for another ZRAID6 dev.
Currently, I am using 96GB of RAM for the main pool. When that is filled, I want to fill the next CPU/RAM/12HDDs.
I have a few questions:
1) Because of how the MB is configured (12 RAM slots for CPU1, 12 for CPU2), do I have to use the same RAM for CPU2 or can I get away with a different manufacturer? (of course as long as its ECC Registered as the current stuff is)
2) My supplier only was able to locate 6 sticks which would put me at 48GB (for that CPU, 144GB total). Would that be enough for the rear drives (totaling 48TB of HDD space when filled)? I also have several jails with NZBGet, Emby, Sonarr, CouchPotato, Transmission running.
3) Is there any way to find out how much of the RAM is being utilized over a period of time? Maybe 96GB is overkill and I would be able to leverage some RAM from there if need be?
Thanks!
