Hi,
I'm using a Virtualized FreeNAS VM to serve up NFS for our vSphere 6.5 environment. The VM is built on top of a Dell R730 with 12 x 1.4Tb SSD's and 2 x 800Gb write intensive SSD's. I've sized the VM with 4 vCPU's, 200GB RAM and used 12 separate 1.5Tb VMDK's to create a RAID 10 8Tb volume. Performance appears excellent.
Is there any benefit to configuring a SLOG or ZIL with a configuration entirely based on enterprise SSD's with 200GB of Physical RAM? (I have 512Gb available but wanted...
ZIL / SLOG necessary
