I'm trying to wrap my head around storage setups that might work for
virtualization and I wonder if people here have experience with creating a
drbd setup for this purpose.
What I am currently planning to implement is this:
2 Storage 8-bay nodes with 8gb RAM and a dual-core Xeon processor.
Each system with gets equipped with 8 1TB SATA drives in a raid-5
configuration.
Networking will either be two dual-port cards or two quad-core cards which
I plan to setup as bonded interfaces (balance-xor).
I'm particularly worried about the networking side being a bottleneck for
the setup. I was looking into 10gbit and infiniband equipment but they
drive the cost up quite a bit and I'm not sure if they are necessary if I
can bond several 1gbit interfaces.
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Dennis
