Re: [ceph-users] ssd requirements for wal/db

2019-10-04 Thread Stijn De Weirdt
hi all,

maybe to clarify a bit, e.g.
https://indico.cern.ch/event/755842/contributions/3243386/attachments/1784159/2904041/2019-jcollet-openlab.pdf
clearly shows that the db+wal disks are not saturated,
but we are wondering what is really needed/acceptable wrt throughput and
latency (eg is a 6gbps sata enough or is 12gbps sas needed); we are
thinking combining 4 or 5 7.2k rpms disks with one ssd.

similar question with the read-intensive: how much is actually written
to the db+wal compared to the data disk? is that 1-to-1?
do people see eg 1 DWPD on their db+wal devices? (i guess it depends;)
if so, what kind of workload daily averages are this in terms of volume?

thanks for pointing out the capacitor isue, something to defintely
double check for the (cheaper) read intensive ssd.

WAL/DB isn't "read intensive". It's more "write intensive" :) use server  
SSDs with capacitors to get adequate write performance.



Hi all,

We are thinking about putting our wal/db of hdds/ on ssds. If we would
put the wal&db of 4 HDDS on 1 SSD as recommended, what type of SSD would
suffice?
We were thinking of using SATA Read Intensive 6Gbps 1DWPD SSDs.

Does someone has some experience with this configuration? Would we need
SAS ssds instead of SATA? And Mixed Use 3WPD instead of Read intensive?

[ceph-users] ssd requirements for wal/db

2019-10-04 Thread Kenneth Waegeman

Hi all,

We are thinking about putting our wal/db of hdds/ on ssds. If we would 
put the wal&db of 4 HDDS on 1 SSD as recommended, what type of SSD would 
suffice?

We were thinking of using SATA Read Intensive 6Gbps 1DWPD SSDs.

Does someone has some experience with this configuration? Would we need 
SAS ssds instead of SATA? And Mixed Use 3WPD instead of Read intensive?



Thank you very much!


Kenneth
