Hi,
I have the following setup:
1 x Dell C6320 ( 4 nodes, each with 2 x Xeon E5-2690 & 256GB RAM DDR4, 2 SFP+ ports & 2 Gbit RJ45 ports ) whereon I want to setup a HA Cluster with Proxmox
( no raid controller, I won't use any storage on C6320, except for the hypervisor)
1 x HP DL 385p ( 2 x Opteron 6376, 8 x 8GB RAM, HP P420i RAID controller with 2GB mem & BBU, 2 SFP+ ports ( HP 530FLR-SFP+ ) + 2 SFP+ ports ( Intel X520-DA2 )
19 x 900GB HDD 6G SAS HGST
6 x 1TB SSD SATA Samsung
to be used with FreeNAS as storage for the HA Cluster
1 x Fujitsu RX300 S6 ( 2 x E5630, 16GB RAM, LSI SAS 6Gb/s PCIe 512MB RAID controller, 4 SAS 3G 15k 146GB & 2x 4TB WD RED SATA ) as a storage for backups
1 x HP MicroServer Gen10 Plus ( Xeon E2224 & 16GB RAM, HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10) with 4 x 8TB WD RED SATA for offsite backups.
I've read that FreeNAS is not working very well with P420i controller used in HBA mode.
What you recommend ?
Using the controller in RAID mode would offer a better performance (with HP SSD Smart Path) in terms of IOPS etc ?
Thank you for your support!
