Need help configuring FreeNAS 8.0 for a "lab rat" SQL Server cluster for home use

  • Perry,

    I made through the attachment, and my disks are configured as follows (to match the attachment):

    Target Extent

    ------ ------

    disk0 SQLDat1

    disk1 SQLDat2

    disk2 SQLLog1

    disk3 SQLLog2

    disk4 SQLBak1

    disk5 SQLBak2

    disk6 DTC

    disk7 Quorum

    disk0a SQLDatCL2

    Thanks for the help!

    By the way, I configured all of this for volume 1 (40 GB) and initiator 1. Not sure why the attachment had some volume 2 (20 GB) and initiator 2 stuff in it. Did I miss something?

    No, vol2 is an extra volume I am using

  • I think NAS is okay. I installed Windows 2008 Server EE on DC, NODE1, and NODE2, but I haven't had a chance to get the "SAN" storage assigned to the VMs yet. I'll hold off on declaring victory until the whole "orchestra" is playing in the same key. LOL

    Thanks again for your help. And, thanks for your note (I think it was your post) about NAS being similar to NetApp. That will be an additional win for this configuration since we use NetApp at work.
