@Pete-S said in PFsense hardware ?:

Yes, it makes sense. Ubiquity and pfsense are not really the same thing though. Ubiquity is a router like any consumer Asus or whatever but with a much better OS. Pfsense is a freebsd computer with a web gui. They are good for slightly different things.

You could say the same thing about Cisco or whatever. All router hardware below five figures is kind of the same. Ubiquiti is definitely built better than any consumer gear I've seen, but the basics are the same. I've seen pfSense on the same kind of hardware.

EdgeOS is Vyatta based, though. Purpose built to be a router. pfSense is putting a router on top of something desired for general use. I've never seen a pfSense setup that I'd consider ready for production use. Most I've seen are worse than consumer gear because it's either unsupported consumer gear rebranded, or just old PCs without maintenance.

@jaredbusch Right. The datastores are at the hypervisor level. The vmdks would be on respective datastores and then in the VM, they would be also be shown as separate disks.

Thanks @Dashrender, that will help a lot. I hope to start this later today.
