Re: [Gluster-users] Advice for setup: SW RAID 6 vs JBOD

2019-06-06 Thread Vincent Royer
What if you have two fast 2TB SSDs per server in hardware RAID 1, 3 hosts in replica 3. Dual 10gb enterprise nics. This would end up being a single 2TB volume, correct? Seems like that would offer great speed and have pretty decent survivability. On Wed, Jun 5, 2019 at 11:54 PM Hu Bert wrote:

I do what you're trying to do, with bonds going to two independent switches (not stacked) from each host. Works fine for the engine, vms network, migration, etc, but I don't use Gluster. Either cable can be pulled or either switch rebooted without disturbing Ovirt. Switches are connected to

It worries me how many threads talk about low performance. I'm about to build out a replica 3 setup and run Ovirt with a bunch of Windows VMs. Are the issues Tony is experiencing "normal" for Gluster? Does anyone here have a system with windows VMs and have good performance? *Vin

e the idea of forgoing the RAID cards as they are quite expensive, especially the capacitor backed ones. The onboard controller can handle JBOD just fine, if Gluster is OK with it! *Vincent Royer* *778-825-1057* <http://www.epicenergy.ca/> *SUSTAINABLE MOBILE ENERGY SOLUTIONS* On Mon, A

by the RAID card in JBOD. The Hardware vendor asked "Do you know if Gluster makes use of flash-cache in JBOD?" If it does, I'm not certain how the size of this flash cache affects the operation. *Vincent Royer* *778-825-1057* <http://www.epicenergy.ca/> *SUSTAINABLE MOBILE

Hi, Trying to make the most of a limited budget. I need fast I/O for operations under 4MB, and high availability of VMs in an Ovirt cluster. I Have 3 nodes running Ovirt and want to rebuild them with hardware for converging storage. Should I use 2 960GB SSDs in RAID1 in each node, replica 3?
