I have recently aquired the following hardware:
- 2x HP DL160 G6
- 1x HP Proliant DL120 G6
The DL120 has 3 disks of which two are in Raid 1, the other one functions as boot disk.
The DL160's both have 4x2TB disks.
I'm planning on running ESXI on all 3 nodes. The DL120 will have a management-role, might function as a firewall as well.
The DL160's will run "production" VM's.
I'm not sure how to manage the storage though. The disk bays are maxed out so I'm stuck with this setup hardware-wise.
My question is: How would you configure this setup?
Would it be advisable to just run ESXI and let the raid-card do it's work or should I pass the disks through to FreeNAS, GlusterFS or somethi
