    openmediavault is the next generation network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian Linux. Thanks to the modular design of the framework it can be enhanced via plugins. openmediavault is primarily designed to be used in home environments or small home offices.

  • You can use separate drives with individual datastores. ESXi has no software RAID but if you want to combine the drives in RAID, you could setup a small openmediavault or Starwinds SAN and NAS VM, RDM the drives to it: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1017530, configure RAID inside that VM and share back over iSCSI or NFS to ESXi.

  • WorkOS
