Hi guys,
I am planning on building a Fileserver on my ESXi 5.1 and just want to make sure I am going the right route. Hope you can give me an advise here.
ESXi:
5.1 (Build 799733)
2x Intel Xeon E5606
Supermicro X8DT3 Board
48 GB RAM
QLogic QLE4062C
Virtual Machine:
Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
8 vCPU
4096 MB RAM
stored at DAS RAID6
The data (Office files, Adobe Photoshop, InDesign,etc) is located in an iSCSI SAN. There is one target connected to the ESXi host with 12 LUN (smallest 50 GB, biggest 650 GB). The volumes are attached to the VM as pRDM.
Is this a good way to do this? Or would you recommend me a different way?
If you need more information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
