Hi there,
I've been gifted an old DL380 G9 by my employer. It was previously part of a storage setup but they migrated to a flash-based IBM setup last year which meant this was surplus to requirements.
It's a pretty powerful box with a couple of quad-core Xeon CPU's installed, 128GB of RAM and 24 SAS drives (4 SSD's if I remember rightly, and the rest are spinning disks). It's also got a Smart Array controller fitted.
So, my question is - will this work with Proxmox and if so is there a 'best' way to configure it?
Do I need to actually define arrays in the SA controller or is it possible to map the physical disks directly to VM's defined in Proxmox?
Grateful for any pointers people can give. Proxmox is totally new to me so i'm very keen to learn more about it.
Thanks
Pete
