I recently got a cisco UCS C220 M3 and I would like to install proxmox on it. It has a UCSC RAID SAS 2008M-8i with RAID 0/1/10 (SLOT-MEZZ) and an Onboard SCU Storage( it has 2 modes: LSI SW RAID and Intel RSTe). I also have 6x900GB SAS drives. I plan on running some form of NAS on it. My plan is to install proxmox on one of these drives and then use the rest for the NAS. What would be the best way to configure the RAID conntrolers to deal with this.
 
Install Proxmox on 2 of the disks in a RAID1. Configure the other 4 disks in a ZFS storage config. Install Open Media Vault in a VM, mount that storage into it to make the NAS.
