The Hardware Specification is as follows:
DELL PowerEdge R730xd - 24 x 2.5" Bay Chassis with Optional 2 x Rear 2.5" Bays.
3 x DELL PowerEdge 12Gbps SAS Host Bus Adapter - External Dual Port PCI-e
1 x DELL PowerEdge 12Gbps SAS Host Bus Adapter - Internal Mini Mono
1 x DELL PowerEdge Broadcom 57840S 10GbE Quad Port SFP+ Network Daughter Card
1 x DELL PowerEdge QLogic QLE2694-SR Quad Port 16Gbps FC Host Bus Adapter
1 x DELL PowerEdge iDRAC Enterprise Module with 16GB vFlash Card
1 x DELL PowerEdge Dual SD Card Module with 2 x 16GB SanDisk Extreme Plus SD Card ( for running TrueNAS CORE on )
1 x DELL PowerEdge PCIe NVMe Adapter Card
2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2683 v4 - 16 Hypter Threaded Cores @ 2.10GHz CPUs ( Willing to Replace if there is a better option e.g. less cores and higher speed )
16 x Micron 32GB 2Rx4 PC4-2400T DDR4 PC4-19200 ECC Server Memory MTA36ASF4G72PZ-2G3B1 = 512GB
Information
I have built a High End TrueNAS CORE system to serve an extensive home lab used by several VMware IT Consultants who all work from home.
The storage solution will only be used as a storage solution for iSCSI, Fibre Channel, SMB/CIFS and NFS.
I am planning to enable deduplication on the 4 x 7.86TB NVMe SSDs For Virtual Machines
I am planning to enable deduplication on the 22 x 480GB SATA SSDs For Virtual Machines
I am planning to enable deduplication on the 24 x 1TB SATA SSDs For Virtual Machines
Storage Installed
DELL PowerEdge R730xd - 4 x 7.86TB NVMe SSDs For Virtual Machines
DELL PowerEdge R730xd - 22 x 480GB SATA SSDs For Virtual Machines
DELL PowerVault MD 1420 - 24 x 1TB SATA SSDs For Virtual Machines
DELL PowerVault MD 1420 - 24 x 5TB SATA HDDs For SMB/CIFS or NFS File Sharing
DELL PowerVault MD 1400 - 12 x 16TB SATA HDDs For Veeam Backups
Here are the questions:
1. Should I swap the CPUs for different ones?
2. Are there any Tunables that I should configure to improve the performance.
