    nka got a reaction from leadeater in Looking for good SAS RAID controller for use in ESXi 6.7   
    @benny_r_t_2 As @scottyseng said, ESXi is working fine, but I'm just unable to see the drive status in ESXi... Look like Broadcom didnt release the "working" SMI-S" for ESXi 6.7 yey.
     
    @scottyseng It's most likely what I will do so I can manage it, but it's not detected, even by StoreCLI (work fine on Linux). I'm ordering 9361-8i, VMWare said it should work fine with lsi_mr3 divers. Let's see !

    wow that was hard to read. Please use formating next time (space, dot, line return) !
     
    For FreeNAS, you don't want a RAID card, you will want an HBA (a card in "IT Mode" - Like the cheap LSI 9211 or M1015 or Perc H310 flashed).
     
    The connector you show on the picture look like from a Dell Server. What do you have on the other end ? Might be easier to get a card and new cables (like SFF-8087 to 4 x SATA)

    MPLS won't help. With MPLS, you will get the same bandwitdth, just remove the VPN part (network will be routed directly on L2 between sites).
     
    What you could do is using SD-WAN Accelerator. Those will compress data end to end and help with bandwidth.
     
    Another thing to look, is the CPU of the Firewall giving the VPN. Is he able to provide 100% of the bandwith trought the VPN pipe ? Maybe he's lagging around.

    You can then use the "Task Scheduler", schedule a reboot and place a .bat (or whatever you want) to start the programs you want at boot time.

    I hope you don't care about power usage, as those systems will suck a lot of power.
     
    How about running proxmox on both of the servers. You can run plex in a vm, and cluster them so its easier to manage. Then you can host storage on the host with samba or nfs.

    You won't do 100-0% every day. You will do about 100-30%. You could even program it to do a shutdown at 80% is you wish too... It's not "bad" for the battery. It will still last 3-4 years as it should.

    You can use a cronjob to do a "powerdown" command.
     
    But I agree with the Above, UPS with automated shutdown would be the best and will add protection to the server. You should already have one !

    @leadeater Any experience with this? To me I would think that ESXi wouldn't be able to know the health status of the arrays on the RAID card since that's usually kept hidden to only the RAID card. I guess you would have to get MegaRAID storage manager to see the health from the RAID card?
