    Ceph: Increasing pg/pgp_num from 1024->2048

    Hello, I recently passed 41 OSDs on our cluster, and the PG calc suggests we should be at 2048 pgs now. Also, I'm going to be adding 5 OSDs soon too. I've read some people saying that it's best to increase pg_num in increments of 256. Has anyone got experience in increasing from 1024 to 2048...

Stacked switches is the way to go IMO, whether you go for things like StackWise or MC-LAG (I...

    Expanding a Proxmox/Ceph cluster. More nodes, more networking.

    Thanks for the answer. So you think this has to be done first? Thing is, since the cluster is in production, I think I should add the 960s to the 3 nodes, take it to 3/1 first and after replication is complete, set it to 3/2, so I don't interrupt any services, correct? Edit: When do you think...

    Expanding a Proxmox/Ceph cluster. More nodes, more networking.

    Hello everyone, I've recently came to manage a Proxmox/Ceph cluster built a year ago and I've been assigned the task of expanding it. Currently, the cluster is made up of 3 nodes with 2/1 replication, each running with 4 480GB SSD OSDs (for a total of 12) Bluestore. They have 10+1G networking...
