Hi all, Hopefully I am asking this in the right place.
This will be my first ZFS configuration and am moving away from an Xpenology VM in Esxi. Thinking Truenas core?
My question is how best to configure my hardware that I have to work with. one system as primary and one as a backup, and this is for my work, backup, plex library, transcoding, many dockers/jails/VM's, the works.
1x Dell R630 w/ 2x Xeon E5-2670 v3 and 48gb ECC RAM.
1x Dell R630 w/ 2x Xeon E5-2670 v3 and 128gb ECC RAM.
1x Netapp DS4246 IOM6 with x12 Seagate 16tb sata 4kn 6Gbps EXOS Drives.
1x Netapp DS4246 IOM6 with x20 Seagate 6tb SAS 12Gbps 4kn USED enterprise drives.
5x 1tb sata 3 SSD
1x Nvidia Quadro p1000
so realize the 6tb drives are superior, but they are used from a friend who decommissions enterprise gear and I can pick up the drives on the cheap. The 16tb exos drives have been purchased in 2020, so they are not old and each have factory 5 year warranties on the drives.
what my current plan is:
Primary: Truenas Core
1x Dell R630 48gb ECC RAM.
1x Netapp DS4246 with x12 Seagate 16tb in 2-6 disk vdevs in a raid z2
1x 1tb SSD
will I need SSD caching, or a log drive, if so How big is necessary?
Backup: Unraid
1x Dell R630 w/ 2x Xeon E5-2670 v3 and 128gb ECC RAM.
1x Netapp DS4246 x20 Seagate 6tb SAS USED enterprise drives. (XFS)
1x Nvidia Quadro p1000 (Plex)
4x 1tb Sata SSDs raid 10 (BTRFS) (for dockers, VM's, Plex)
Is this a solid plan and are there any recommendations or gotchas?
Thanks!
