Hello everyone,
I am hoping someone here can point me to a forum somewhere where I can discuss / get some help on more advanced SS configuration. Maybe that is this forum and I can ask away, or maybe there is a better / more specific place for that.
- I am looking to build a new server, looking at the specific hardware to buy
- I want to use mirror-accelerated dual-parity, ReFS with integrity streams, possibly de-duplication
- So far thinking a Skylake SP system with at least 32GB RAM (registered ECC)
- LSI HBA for disk connectivity (in IT / HBA-only mode)
- 7 10TB spinning disks for data drives (minimum number for dual-parity)
- A pair of 1.6TB NVMe eSSDs with PLP and high write endurance for the mirror acceleration
Near as I can tell, I am going to need Server 2019 data center edition, and a bunch of power-shell commands as it appears that this specific configuration can't be completely achieved via the GUI.
The more I read, the more little gotchas I am seeing, so I kind of want to have this all laid out before I start to build it. I could even test it first using a VM to validate the config.
Please advise
Thank you
