Hi to all,
I'm new to Ceph and i want to create a Cluster for Production
with HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 servers, the idea is to use 4 of this
servers to use as OSD's, and then 3 x HP ProLiant DL320e Gen8 servers
for MON. The Data network would be on 10GbE switches and 1Gb the
management. Below is the description of each of the servers:
In this case I would run the monitors on the same machines, since a
DL320 is very overpowered for a monitor in this cluster set up.
*HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8*:
2 x Intel Xeon E5-2630v2 @2.6Ghz (6-cores)
2 x 64GB RAM
2 x 450GB SAS 15K in RAID-1 configuration for the OS
2 x 100GB SSD in RAID-1 configuration for the Journals
I wouldn't use RAID-1. Short version: SSDs rarely fail and if they fail
it is due to wearing out. If you use RAID-1 they'll fail at the same moment.
You better use one SSD per 4 OSDs, gives you better performance and
reliability.
8 x 4TB SATA 7.2K to use as 8 x OSD's (32TB raw)
1 x HP Ethernet 10GbE 2-port 530SFP+ Adapter
1 x HP Ethernet 1Gb 2-port 332T Adapter
*HP ProLiant DL320e Gen8*:
1 x Intel Xeon E3-1240v2 @3.4Ghz (4-cores)
1 x 32GB RAM
Way to much memory for a monitor. 4GB ~ 8GB is more then enough.
2 x 450GB SAS 15K in RAID-1 configuration for the OS
2 x 1.2TB SAS 10K for Logs
1 x HP Ethernet 10GbE 2-port 530SFP+ Adapter
10Gbit isn't required, but that's up to you.
1 x HP Ethernet 1Gb 2-port 332T Adapter
I want to know if someone more or less had a similar configuration and
to know what are the performance numbers (some benchmarks) for reads and
writes, maybe also some iozone or bonnie++ outputs, with several
processes (1..10), and different block sizes.
Also if anybody had some recommendations or tips regarding the
configuration for performance. The filesystem to be used is XFS.
I assume you are going for 3x replication, so with writes you'll have
about 1/3 of the I/O performance of all the disks.
A 7200RPM disk is capable of about 100 IOps, so that's the figure you
calculate with.
Ceph performance is very complex, so one bonnie++ or iozone benchmark
won't reflect the performance of a other Ceph setup.

I really appreciated the help.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
