I second all of @pilow points. We have been running a lot of Dell R630's with Intel CPU, Intel NIC, PERC H730i raid-cards and it has been flawless. Now we're using Dell R660's, but with newer spec's. Tried Broadcom NIC's once, it worked, but had some weird performance issues from time to time. Go with shared storage, NFS if possible (thin provisioning) and avoid XOSAN/XOSTOR, I don't think its battle-tested quite yet.

@Pilow we are still working on it, but for now we didn't find a solution

@jqueiroz said in Second IP for Hosts Interface: I have a situation where I would like to add a second IPv4 address to the management interface of a host. I am installing a host that will be used in another location and I would like to add the address of that location to the management interface before shipping the machine there. Is it possible to do this, or should I continue using the current procedure (making the necessary configurations and change the address shortly before shutting down the machine and packing it for transport)? there is a nuance between secondary IP and secondary MANAGEMENT IP if you have multiple NICS, you could add & configure the destination site IP on it, but it is not flagged management yet. once the server gets on the new site, you could access web ui by this IP address (or SSH) and then either go to web console/xs server or SSH and do the necessary to change management to the good PIF/IP ?

Give me a couple of days to try. It is (obviously) down to the combination of devices passed through, as I reported this earlier: said in TrueNAS VM failing to start: Re-boot XCP and start the TrueNAS VM with NO passthrough devices. As expected, that started up fine. Cheers.
