looking to completly rebuild unraid onto esxi but have a few questions


Recommended Posts

sometime in the next 2 years I would like to have unraid on a virtual machine. I also plan on putting more on this machine as well. Here is what I want to do

1. Primary unraid

2. secondary unraid, still looking if it is worth it or a complete separate machine.

3. virtual machine to only run downloads. Sab,sick,couch,torrent ect

4. Plex media server, May be on the machine above. Probably

5. General pc

 

now this is still in the planning stage but nothing will happen till I at least get fiber to my place.

Regarding the virtual machines, I don't have any laptops but I do have tablets. Android at the moment, is there an app that I can view the machines? Like #5.

Why have 2 unraids on one machine?

To get the drive count per parity disk down would be one reason.  If I had a Lian Li D8000 or 343B where I could get more than unRAIDs 24 drive limit with no case mods I might consider 2 unRAID arrays in one box.  Rather than how I currently have it arranged with one unRAID and a Windows VM in each of my ESXi servers.
