The minimum from a practical perspective should be 4 nodes.The Samsung Pro is also not supported. It doesnt have the usual features youd see on a RAID card (battery backup unit, onboard caching, RAID5/6 support). The long answer: The H200 is the old SAS 6iR with SATA 6Gb/s support. I have a similar system, but it uses Intel DC S3100 SATA drives. With 3 nodes, when you reboot a host you are putting your vSAN cluster in a degraded state. The short answer is yes, thats the level of performance you should expect to see from the H200. The minimum from a practical perspective should be 4 nodes. Dell R710 w/ 2x Xeon 5680 CPUs, 128GB ECC RAM (16x8GB), H200 RAID Controller, 6x 3.5' hotswap bays 3x WD 300GB 2.5' SATA HDD (old, questionable reliability, but free) 3x WD Purple 3TB 3. With 3 nodes, when you reboot a host you are putting your vSAN cluster in a degraded state. 1 Hi all, Ive this Dell PERC H200 card on a server and was thinking to use it on Freenas, It seems that the I/O controller on this card. Thread starter crisman Start date Status Not open for further replies. VSAN is going to consume some CPU resources, so make sure 12 cores per host is enough if vSAN is chewing up 10% Dell PERC H200 Internal 6Gb/s 8-Port SAS / SATA RAID Card. With 3 hosts you're going to want 10GbE switching Get an Intel NIC like i350 if you need 1GbE or X540 or X550 for 10GbE.

You probably want SAS SSD for your cache tier instead of SATA SSD.īroadcom sucks. 850 Pro is listed as 150TB write endurance, while most vSAN cache drives are going to have many PB of endurance.

But I doubt it, as it has much lower write endurance than typical drives used with vSAN. Samsung Pro doesn't look like it's supported at all (unless it's under some other part number I can't find). Pretty sure I recall StorageNinja say this as well.

I don't see any SATA drives supported since ESXi 5.5 with vSAN. PERC H200 (last supported in ESXi 5.5) - Link Not unless you plan on running ESXi 5.5 forever.
