Dear unRAID-Community/
I am looking to split my computer into multiple virtual ones in order to seperate a hosting OS for a gameserver and 1, later possibly 2, gaming VMs.
(for better performance allocation and security)
My current setup:
Ryzen 7 3800x 8C 16T cpu --> Has all virtualization support that is required, however no integrated graphics
RX 580 8GB graphics card
1 2TB NVMe SSD
also: I have a phone connected to the same network in order to remote control/ setup over network (http://tower ? ) if thats doable so i dont need more than one graphics card
My questions:
Is it possible to virtually split my SSD into multiple virtual storage devices in unRAID in order to not have to buy another one? I am not worried about redundancy or any parity drives, its a new drive and the data is not particularly important.
(I understand that for a 2nd gaming setup I would definitely require a second graphics card, but) Is it possible to run the system with that hardware, possibly by setting up a second OS without a UI/without a display output by remote controlling it or just controlling it via the network (FTP/shell/better soloutions I dont know about, like allocating the graphics card to different VMs at different bootups?) ?
TL:DR: Can you split an SSD virtually? Could my setup function like this? Is there a smart way to controll 2 OS' simultaneously, with just one graphics card? (one would need the graphics card one, the other for the rest of the time)
Thank you for replying!
