Hello,
I have an HP microserver with 16GB of server memory and 6x4TB raid 5 (one is kept for a hotspare).
I plan to run virtual machines from this setup but I'm unsure of the performance of running VMs on the raid. For those that have tried or are doing it, I would appreciate your input. I plan to run PFSense and maybe one other lightweight virtual machine.
- Would you recommend it?
- Was the performance of the VM(s) satisfactory?
- What VMs were you running? This is important as some systems are resource hogs compared to others.
