Hi Hans, Take a look at this : http://andysworld.org.uk/2011/08/25/skynet-ssdsupersan-hp-proliant-microserver-with-a-6-bay-hot-plug-sata-drive-bay/
Actually build this thing, running it as a backend storage at home for 2 ESX machine, with about 25 VM's running on it. Only difference I made was, fill the 6 extra bays with Samsung 840 pro's ( sliced) and fill the internal slots with 4 Tb disk in mirror. I add 8 Gb internal mem, a m1015 and an extra 2 Gb intel nic Will give a cool 8 Tb net., maxes the Gb's out fully and does a very nice job in general -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Hans J. Albertsson [mailto:[email protected]] Verzonden: vrijdag 7 februari 2014 17:50 Aan: Discussion list for OpenIndiana Onderwerp: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Low low end server I looked at a HP N54L today: Costs nothing, but actually handles ECC memory. Albeit very slow memory, and not very much. So, would it be reasonable to set this guy up with 4 2TB SATA disks, 8GB 800MHz ECC memory and run some Illumos based version with ZFS. I was thinking of putting two 2.5" small boot disks (300GB???) using some adapter in the optical drive slot, and 4 2TB disks in a raidz to provide 6TB of storage with medium availability performance. Would this work?? Would the performance be good enough to be a home cloud server for media and/or documents? Is Nexenta or OmniOS or SMARTOS better or easier to deply than OpenIndiana for this setup? _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
