One advantage of Ceph is its flexibility. The goal of my "FabU" was to mention some aspects and pitfalls. Not more.
That "38" is the sum of Ram of my example in the cluster. My point was that each and every daemon - be it OSD/MON/MGR or MDS -...
yeap great point the ceph "independent network"
regarding the ssd's I am working with the Kingston DC600M series
@UdoB yes I totally understand and the numbers are theoretical based on the setup. I am just using them as reference..
Carefully choose your SSDs. We had a case with non-enterprise SSDs which had to be replaced to guarantee a stable setup.
In addition: give ceph its own seperate network to avoid problems during backups oder other "high load"-cases.
So If I do understand correct, in overall and for my build, to keep safe all data and have a healthy system I need to:
- Build a cluster with at least (min) 4 servers
- Add them to cluster & Ceph of course
- Use the 10GB of network cards
- Have...
Ceph is great, but it needs some resources above the theoretical minimum to work reliably. My assumptions for the following text:
you want to use Ceph because... why not?
you want to use High Availability - which requires Shared Storage (note...
Good morning to all,
Thank you all for your posts.
Still I got this question..
How easy will it be in case I need to expand our storage using Ceph? Do I need to "build" another node with extra storage and add it to ceph?
I do understand and...
@bbgeek17 thanks for your answer as also @itNGO.
So in regards to the point where you mentioned , not to use raid with Ceph, what will do? Individual disks adding to system?
If I am right Ceph and OSD is like RAID but with servers instead of...
Good day to all,
I am setting up in my company a 3 nodes cluster server for HA and redudancy. My experience with Porxmox is quite ok but the major issue now is the storage type to use.
My thoughts are as simple as it gets, I need the storage to...
