[QUOTE="booo, post: 1791973, member: 18666"] Here is my 2cents. 2 pcs with all the cpu horse power to run the vms. 3rd pc with normal configuration but a lot of HDD spcace and at least 4 1gig nic ports. Install hypervisor (free [URL="http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/virtualization/oraclevm/overview/index.html?origref=http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/virtualization/overview/index.html"]linux ovm[/URL]) on the 2 pcs and iscsi-scst driver on 3rd and then create balance-alb bond with all the nics (4x1Gb=4Gbps) and install the ovm suite to manage the hypervisor pool using this box. setup home iscsi san with this configuration and you wont need more than 60GB ssds on the hypervisors. create a seperate lan for iscsi and put 2port nics on each of the hypervisors. you can manage the hypervisors by either creating bonds or individually in ovm. My point is to seperate the storage from processing power so that they can be managed independently. at the same time you can provision storage to independent vms using iscsi san. if iscsi-san doesnt work out, you can switch to direct attached storage any time.
