>This can be modified as: >z<ZONE ID>-<IP>:<PORT>/<DEVICE>[:<MIRROR COUNT>] The etherpad proposal has been modified to detail how Ring building would need to be modified, reflecting the above strategy. When assigning devices to satisfy a replica count requirement two rules would be followed: * One device can never provide enough replicas by itself. * Devices with mirrors are only credited to the minimum number of mirrors of the devices assigned. So if 7 Replicas are called for and three devices have been assigned with 3, 2 and 2 mirrors another device is still needed. Three * the minimum (2) is only 6. In realistic number this means that three replicas cannot be Satisfied with two devices only one of which has mirroring, because loss of the mirrored device would Instantly degrade to only having a single physical replica on the network. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
