Hi all and merry X-mas.
Successfully got my N40L running on ESXI 6.5 upgraded to DSM 6.2.3 with this tutorial, disks using RDM. Thanks a lot!
But even after reading tons of posts, I am unclear about what are the best, most performant settings in regards to the RDM disks and the controllers and settings to be used?
1. loader synoboot disk is on SATA 0:0 with disk mode "dependent" -> could this also be "independent non-persistent" to avoid overwrites?
2. data storage disks are on SCSI 0:0 to 0:2 as LSI Logic SAS controller, no BUS sharing. Disk as "independent-persistent" and disk compatibility "physical"
-> is the SCSI "VM Paravirtual" controller having any advantages?
-> any advantages/disadvantages using a SATA instead of the SCSI controller for the RDM disks?
Wondering if any of the options/combinations gives the best disk performance? Is there an easy answer?
Thanks for your support!
