Hello fellow ceph user, right now we are researching ceph for our storage.
We have a cluster of 3 OSD nodes (and 5 MON) for our RBD disk which for now we are using the NFS proxy setup. On each OSD node we have 4x 1G Intel copper NIC (not sure about the model number though but I'll look it up in case anyone asking). Up until now we are testing on one nic as we dont have (yet) a network switch with la/teaming support.
I suppose since its Intel we should try to get jumbo frames working too, so I hope someone would recommend a good switch that is known to work with most Intel's.
We are looking for recommendation on what kind of network switch, network layout, brand, model, whatever.. as we are (kind of) new to building our own storage and has no experience in ceph.
We are also looking for feasibility of using fibre-channel instead of copper but we dont know if it would help much, in terms of speed-improvements/$ ratio since we already have 4 NICs on each OSD. Should we go for it?
