Hello All,
I am planing building new storage based on OMV , the storage will be dedicated for MS SQL ISCSI based.
Now since i am limited with budget and requested of building at least 24TB and to serve dozens of db's, i have two parts question one is on idea i have if its feasible and good one with OMV for achieving as much as possible IOPS to compensate of current "poor" HW
second if current suggested hardware will be enough to cope with IOPS.
First question
I would like to use SSD for caching my plan is to use 4x 480GB Sandisk extreme Pro ,2 mirrored for read + 2 mirrored for write/back (We have UPS) using EnhanceIO technology ,my question is it feasible with OMV ?
can i use it combined with ZFS as it used its ARC(MAIN MEMORY) mechanism for fisrt cache level without using the L2ARC +ZIL , would i gain something is it a good choice or if there is better filesystem to use with EnhanceIO if it operational off-course with OMV ?
Second question
if first one its ok obsessively, my hardware suggested is
storage will be based on Intel SR2600URB with 48GB memory ecc
I plan to use 6x Seagate STBD6000100 as the storage disks mounted on 2x LSI MegaRAID 9261-8i controller (one for disks second for SSD's)
dual 10g Intel e10g42bfsr type .
Please advice
Thanks
