Storage Best Practice
Posted: Mon Jun 11, 2018 11:23 pm
Hi all,
Fisrt of all I'm totally noob in storage, so sorry for all bull... I could write.
we recently own a TS-EC2480U.
We have a on it 12 x 5To hdd. We dedicated 2 disks for hot spare.
We created on all left hdds a Raid6 Volume.
The purpose of this NAS is to store disk dumps that are accessed from client machines. about 250 PCs can access these files at the same time.
To manage these dumps we use a windows 2k12 which access the storage via iSCSI (mutlipath) .
What is the best way to proceed ?:
-Create a big LUN (At least 45 To here) then access it through iSCSI.
Or
-Create Relatively "small" LUNS (Between 2 and 4To), access it via iSCSI and aggregate them in a single volume in Windows Disk Management.
Thanks by advance for your help.
