Is my understanding correct? And if so, should I use an array of SAS drives in my R710 hotswap bays for my hypervisor and VM installation disk, and then, say, a NAS RAID array for storage of my security camera footage? To rephrase: if the XenServer Hardware Compatibility List says both SATA and SAS are compatible with XenServer for a given RAID controller, then either type of HDD may be used for the XenServer installation volume, but if only SAS is compatible for a particular RAID controller, then XenServer must be installed on an array of only SAS drives?

SAS compatibility with storage controllers in XenServer.this applies only to the disk where you install the hypervisor, correct? but XenServer would still be compatible with, for instance, reading data from an array of SATA drives on a NAS?

I'm building a homelab PoE security camera server / general virtualization server, and I have the following hardware:

Am I to understand that SATA HDDs are not compatible with XenServer using Dell's H700 or H200 RAID controllers? I need to know if SATA HDDs are compatible with XenServer 7.6CR when running in RAID on an H700 or H200 controller in a Dell R710 server.Īccording to XenServer's Hardware Compatibility List, the H700 and H200 only support SAS, not SATA. Homelab noob here, thanks in advance for your help!
