Wow. What a "welcome" to a first post here. Thank you for all the information and you taking the time to write them. I'll write a better answer when I get a bit more time. Just wanted to say thank you.

@john-c yes, I guess I should clarify that I meant "the same pool".

Thanks. Not going to prioritise getting a new server, so I guess the recommended way on this hardware is to not use a pool? Keep them separated (used to standalone ESXi anyways, even if a pool seems cool).

Yes, running TrueNAS Scale now. Coming from Napp-IT on OmniOS. Ran that for years, and like it a lot, but the the UX is not up to par (understandably, since it's a one man team afaik behind Napp-IT). All pools imported fine. Having some weird permission issues on NFS, but that's a problem for another day.

Hi all, new to XCP-ng as a lot of others. Previously experienced with ESXi and pretty well versed with Linux (mostly Debian, but used a lot of different distros).

I'm moving houses and took that as an opportunity to jump ships from VMware after the whole Broadcom clusterf*ck, and reconfigure my homelab. I also got a new server – so going from one to two.

I've set them up in a pool, but I'm not sure if that is the best way – since they differ a bit i.e on network, and CPU/RAM generation.

Specs:

Dell Poweredge T420 (as NAS and some VMs):

• 2 x CPU Intel Xeon E5-2470 v2 @ 2.40GHz
• 96 GB RAM (12 x 8 GB, DDR3, 1333 MHz, ECC)
• 2 x EVO SSDs (for OS)
• 3 x Intel Enterprise SSDs (Fast storage, ZFS)
• 8 x Spinning rust for storage (Slow storage, ZFS)
• Dual 10Gbit nic
• Dual 1gbit nic

HP DL360 G10 (for VMs):

• 2 x CPU Intel Xeon Gold 6122 CPU @ 1.80GHz
• 64 GB (4 x 16 GB, DDR4, 2666 MHz, ECC)
• 2 x Intel Enterprise SSDs for OS / VM
• 8 x 1gbit (two 1gbit x 4 nics)
• Dual 10Gbit nic

Any advice?
