Hello,
I currently have the following setup:
MB - Supermirco X7DBE
CPU - 2 x Xeon L5420
RAM - 12 GB ECC
HD - 4 x WD Red 2TB
RAID - LSI 150 6 port raid (separate RAID card)
I would like to create a server and vm's that allow me to have an all in one solution for a print server, NAS box (using NASLite M2 x64), and possibly playing with various OS's to learn.
I tried ESXi... didn't like it, as well as Hyper-V Server 2012 R2, and have now settled on PROXMOX.
I was wondering if I need to setup the HD's on the separate RAID card as JBOD since they already have data on them from my previous NAS setup? I tried it in ESXi, but had an issue of not being able to write to the disks, only being able to read from them after creating disk images for ESXi to see them as RAW.
I was also thinking of playing with MS 2012 server to learn and for fun with Dynamics and Exchange to learn.
I do have experience with SBS2008 and AD.
Anyways, I enjoy looking forward to the dialogue my post will create and learning.
Thank you for any, and all help
