Hi,
I need a new NAS and have a DL180 Gen9 ready to buy, but I'm unable to find if the HD controller (HP Smart Array H240 Zero Cache) will work with FreeNAS (FreeBSD) at all. Anyone have tried? BSD compatibility list said nothing and HP less.
The idea is use this server just to store 8/10 VMs (don't know if will use Proxmox or VMWare) with not so much load, mostly LAMP's and 1 or 2 W2003 with little load to, BUT searching for this topic I see some recommendations that are killing my plans before I started... they said that this is gonna be slow as f***k, at the point of unusable systems..
Server is (as said) a "HP ProLiant DL180 Gen9" with:
- Intel® Xeon® E5-2609v3 (1.9GHz/6-core/15MB/85W)
- 32GB RAM ( Single Rank x4 DDR4-2133 CAS-15-15-15 Registered Memory )
- 6 x 2TB SATA HD's (ZFS RAID 1+0)
TL;DR
- Will it boot?
- Will it be able to serve the vm's?
- Will it blend?
