Hello All,
I have the Intel Modular Server with the following storage configuration:
2 Storage Controllers (SMC 1 and SMC 2)
14 HDD 837GB each
3 Compute Modules (Servers)
Shared LUN option (To create a shared storage for VMs)
What I need to do is to create VMs servers of: Active Directory, File Server, Database Server, CCTV IP Cameras Recording Server...
- Keeping in mind that I should have 1 Hotspare HDD, What is the best recommended scenario regarding the storage configuration?
- Basically I will create a seperate Virtual Drive for each compute module to install ESX on it, but what is the recommended space for each VD to install ESX on?
- What RAID level should I use? I don't have a heavy Database usage, just a small database for 5 Users in accounting department.
Thanks!
