Hi,

as I am planning to set up a ceph cluster with 6 OSD nodes with 10 harddisks in each node, could you please give me some advice about hardware selection? CPU? RAM?
I am planning a 10 GBit/s public and a separate 10 GBit/s private network.

For a smaller test cluster with 5 OSD nodes and 4 harddisks each, 2 GBit/s public and 4 GBit/s private network, I already tested this using core i5 boxes 16GB RAM installed. In most of my test scenarios including load, node failure, backfilling, etc. the CPU usage was not at all the bottleneck with a maximum of about 25% load per core. The private network was also far from being fully loaded.

It would be really great to get some advice about hardware choices for my newly planned setup.

Thanks very much and regards,

Mike
