I’ll try to be as brief and clear as I can but please excuse my lack of the proper terminology for the components/protocols.
I got my hands on the subject-mentioned hardware and I have a gamer PC running TrueNAS,
My proxmox was on an old Asus laptop with ZFS over iSCSI (VM image storage on TreuNAS). I moved my 500GB HDD to the Dell Server and proxmox tarted and it’s working fine 'till now.
Today I plugged in the MD1000 via the HBA Card/Cable to the R710 and oh surprise! I have 12 1TB disks there all appeared to be OK, I created a RAID 5 VD there and I can see it on proxmox.
I want to know what would be best option:
- Tae the PERC 6E and plug in into the TrueNAS Box, and add the storage as a Zpoll and all that and then present it to proxmox as I already have a 2TB volume.
- Leave the PERC attached to the proxmox server (R710) and add as additional storage?
My TrueNAS srever is a Z77 Asus MoBo with 32GB RAM so pretty basic stuff, I want to build a small proxmox cluster so my bet is that installing teh PERC on the Truenas system and amke the MD1000 a SAN-like setup, unfortunately the MD1000 cards are not iSCSI enabled they use the thick external SAS Calble.
What would you suggest?
Thanks in advance.
