Hi Felix, I have experience from running Ceph on SATADOM on R630. And it is kind of bad cause we got bad SATADOM's from Dell. If you are going to use SATADOM make sure to buy directly from a Innodisk reseller and not from Dell. We bought our SATADOM from Dell and they degraded in 5-6 months. And

Thanks everybody for the answers, it really helped me a lot. So, to sum up, this is the options that I have: - OS in a RAID1. - PROS: the cluster is protected against OS failures. If one of this disks fail, it could be easily replaced because it is hot-swappable. - CONS: we

Hello, I shall top-quote, summarize here. Firstly we have to consider that Ceph is deployed by people with a wide variety of needs, budgets and most of all cluster sizes. Wido has the pleasure (or is that nightmare? ^o^) to deal with a really huge cluster, thousands of OSDs and an according

Nothing actually happens to your osds if your OS drive fails. To prevent the unnecessary backfilling off of the server with the dead OS drive, you would set NOOUT in the cluster, reinstall the OS on a good drive, install ceph on it, and then restart the server. The OSDs have all of the

Hello Felix, When you put your OS on a single drive and that drive fails, you will loose all the OSDs on that machine, because the entier machine goes down. The PGs that now miss a partner are going to be replicated again. So, in your case, the PGs that are on those 11 OSDs. This rebuilding

Hi Felix If you have R730XD then you should have 2 x 2.5" slots on the back. You can stick in SSDs in RAID1 for your OS here. On Fri, Aug 12, 2016 at 12:41 PM, Félix Barbeira wrote: > Hi, > > I'm planning to make a ceph cluster but I have a serious doubt. At this > moment
