I configured this VM using this tutorial mostly: This VM barely consumes 30mhz and 100mb of RAM. I'm running CyberPower PowerPanel Business Edition Virtual Machine (CentOS 6) to safely shut down the system. UPS-VM has 1 socket with 1 core and 512MB of RAM. I tried to move most of the Plex cache to FreeNAS shares as well via symlinks. This VM basically mounts FreeNAS shares via NFS. I wanted Plex in it's own virtual machine (CentOS 7) because more features are available to Plex when it is on Linux and not FreeBSD. Plex has 2 socket with 2 cores (4 vCPUs), and 2GB of RAM. I dropped that virtual network switch and now Plex runs perfectly. I configured this VM using this tutorial mostly: I originally tried to implement the Storage network as described in the tutorial but found Plex was much slower than running on hardware. This VM is very much geared towards RAM to support the ARC. I flashed the LSI 2308 to IT mode using the information on ASRock's website. It is directly accessing all six drives that are connected via the LSI 2308 passed through via VT-d. PfSense has 1 socket with 2 cores, and 4GB of RAM becaused I wanted the flexibility to run Snort and an OpenVPN client.įreeNAS has 1 socket with 2 cores, and 24GB of RAM. I also have an Ubiquiti WAP on the Switch to support my wireless devices (phones, printer, desktops, laptops).

One network port is tied to pfSense as the WAN port, the other is tied to the Switch to support the LAN and all the virtual machines. Software​The server is running ESXi 6.0 as a host.
