[ceph-users] Ceph - SSD cluster

2017-11-19 Thread M Ranga Swami Reddy
Hello,
We plan to use the ceph cluster with all SSDs. Do we have any
recommendations for Ceph cluster with Full SSD disks.

Thanks
Swami

This topic has been discussed in detail multiple times and from various
angles. Your key points are going to be CPU limits iops, dwpd, iops vs
bandwidth, and SSD clusters/pools in general. You should be able to find
everything you need in the archives.

Hi *,

just on note because we hit it, take a look on your discard options
make sure it not run on all OSD at the same time.

Any SSD that actually _requires_ the use of TRIM/DISCARD to maintain
either speed or endurance I'd consider unfit for Ceph to boot.

hello

is there some sort of hardware compatibillity list for this part ?
perhaps community maintained on the wiki or similar.

there are some older blog posts covering some devices, but hard to find 
ceph related for current devices.


kind regards

Hi,
not a real HAL, but keeping this list [1] in mind is mandatory.

According to me, use roughly any kind of Intel SSD :3750 in SATA or best
3700 in MVNE.
Avoid any Samsung pro or EVO  of nearly any kind.(Haven't found a link,
sorry)

My 2 cents

Current devices tend to follow in the footsteps of older ones.

Thus Intel DC S ones tend to be suitable, however their endurance and
performance vary and need to match the expected load.
The 37xx ones can deal with anything you throw at them, the x6xx ones with
3DWPD endurance will do the job for many people, the 35xx ones are
certainly fast enough for many use cases but should only be deployed by
people who know exactly what they're doing and for read-mostly use cases. 

The same is true in principal for the Samsung DC level SSDs (SM863a these
days), they certainly perform well enough, sometimes even better than the
Intel DC S36xx to which they are mostly equivalent. 
Samsung has a history of "firmware (and bug) of the week" issues, so
diligent testing and a good return/fix/replace policy from your vendor is
always something to make sure off.
