The cluster itself ran decently well, but the load differences was drastic between the 2 types of nodes. It required me to run the cluster with 2 separate config files for each type of node and was an utter PITA when troubleshooting bottlenecks. Ultimately I moved around hardware and created a legacy cluster on the old hardware and created a new cluster using the newer configuration. In general it was very hard to diagnose certain bottlenecks due to everything just looking so different. The primary one I encountered was snap trimming due to deleted thousands of snapshots/day. If you aren't pushing any limits of Ceph, you will probably be fine. But if you have a really large cluster, use a lot of snapshots, or are pushing your cluster harder than the average user... Then I'd avoid mixing server configurations in a cluster.

If so does that change any performance dynamics ? or is it not advisable . -- Deepak ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential information.
