Hello,
A couple of things.
iSCSI Storage: Pool 1 with 8 x 4 TB drives configured as 2 mirrored drives in a vdev (4) with a separate SLOG and Cache drives in this pool.
I am planning to connect my Freenas to VCenter using iSCSI. I know that it is not recommended to do LACP/LAGG for iSCSI on Freenas or VCenter.
What would be the best practice for using 2 x 10GB SFP+ ports for iSCSI on Freenas connected to my Datacenter switch?
Here is my hardware setup for the network adapters:
Freenas 11.2
6 x 10GB SFP+ Ports, 4 x 1GB Copper ports.
VCenter Cluster
3 x ESXi Hosts each with 4 x 10GB SFP+ ports and 4 x 1GB Copper Ports
2 x 10GB SFP+ Ports from each host will be LACP connected to Datacenter switch for VM Traffic for VLAN's.
2 x 10GB SFP+ will be used for iSCSI to Freenas.
1 GB copper ports will be used for VMotion and ESXi Management.
SMB on Freenas: Pool 2 RAID 6 using 4 x 4TB drives for Files.
Is it recommend to use 2 x 10GB SFP+ ports for SMB file sharing on Freenas using LACP, if not, what would be the best practice to use the 10GB ports for file sharing?
Thanks,
