Hello,
I've tried searching for this and can't get a straight answer it seems but this is my build plans
(ALREADY OWN)
AMD A10 CPU
ASUS A88X-PRO MOBO
32GB DDR3-2400
VARIOUS SATA2 AND SATA3 HDDS
(GOING TO BUY)
LSI SAS 9261
SSD FOR L2 CACHE (IF NEEDED)
(2) HP 81E 8G FIBER
Matching HDDS for RAID CARD
Plans
Want a Storage system for an ESXI 6.7 FREE. So ISCSI to my knowledge is only option. Since I don't have a switch that supports the fiber and I only have 1 esxi server atm. I want to run the fiber between freenas and esxi without a router or switch in between/involved.
This is a home lab/home business set up with at Max 8hdds at this time.
I could use any suggestions and guides to maximize performance and set up ISCSI without a router/switch (direct connection) low budget is a thing but am also about doing it right and to allow growth. Want to stick with fiber if not too difficult.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
