Hello Anthony, The hardware is second hand built and does not have U.2 slots. U.2 servers cost 3x-4x more.I mean PCI-E "MZ-PLK3T20". I have to buy SFP cards and 25G is only +30$ more than 10G so why not. Yes I'm thinking pinned as (clients > rack MDS) I don't have problems with building and I don't use PG autoscaler.
Hello David. My system is all internal and I only use one /20 subnet at layer2 level Yes , I'm thinking of distributing the meta pool on racks 1,2,4,5 because my clients use search a lot and I just want to shorten the metadata needs. I have redundant rack PDU's so I don't have any problem with power and I only have a VPC (2x n9k switch) on the main rack 3. That's why I keep data and management related everything on rack3 as usual. Normally I always use WAL+DB on NVME with Sata OSD. The only thing I wonder is having a separate metadata pool on NVME located on the client racks is gonna give some benefit or not. Regards.
