[ceph-users] Bluestore disk colocation using NVRAM, SSD and SATA

2017-09-20 Thread Maximiliano Venesio
Hi guys i'm reading different documents about bluestore, and it never
recommends to use NVRAM to store the bluefs db, nevertheless the official
documentation says that, is better to use the faster device to put the
block.db in.

In my cluster i have NVRAM devices of 400GB, SSDs disks for high
performance and SATA disks for cold storage.

So how do i have to deploy using bluestore, regarding where i should put
block.wal and block.db ?
Do i have to use the NVRAM just for the block.wal and put the the block.db
in the same SATA and SSD disks as the DATA ? or should i have to use NVRAM
for both block.wal and block.db ?

Any idea if exists some special constraint about putting block.db into
NVRAM, even when the backend disk is an SSD ?



Thanks in Advanced.

[ceph-users] Changing replica size of a running pool

2017-05-03 Thread Maximiliano Venesio
Guys hi.

I have a Jewel Cluster composed by two storage servers which are configured on
the crush map as different buckets to store data.

I've to configure two new pools on this cluster with the certainty
that i'll have to add more servers in a short term.

Taking into account that the recommended replication size for every
pool is 3, i'm thinking in two possible scenarios.

1) Set the replica size in 2 now, and in the future change the replica
size to 3 on a running pool.
Is that possible? Can i have serious issues with the rebalance of the
pgs, changing the pool size on the fly ?

2) Set the replica size to 3, and change the ruleset to replicate by
OSD instead of HOST now, and in the future change this rule in the
ruleset to replicate again by host in a running pool.
Is that possible? Can i have serious issues with the rebalance of the
pgs, changing the ruleset in a running pool ?

Which do you think is the best option ?


Thanks in advanced.
