Hi, is the use of H700 as Raid controller mandatory ??? Using the H700 as HBA only and configure every disk as JBOD . You could save you Energy, Stress,... :
- Using ZFS Raidz (=Raid1) for Proxmox system disks may be worth it. Simple, integrated into Proxmox base system, .. A real pleasure, especially when a disk failure occurs and you have to rescue the array. You'll love ZFS (if you don't love it currently) - Use every other disk as OSD object storage for Ceph backend storage. A dozen nodes ceph cluster build over R715 could achieve pretty good perfs if network is decent. Best regards Le 25/05/2018 à 22:28, [email protected] a écrit : > Ah, neat.
