Hello List, I'm going to build a build a rbd cluster this year, with 5 nodes I would like to have this kind of configuration for each node: - 2U - 2,5inch drives os : 2 disk sas drive journal : 2 x ssd intel dc s3700 100GB osd : 10 or 12 x sas Seagate Savvio 10K.6 900GB I see on the mailing that intank use dell r515. I currently own a lot of dell servers and I have good prices. But I have also see on the mailing that dell perc H700 can have some performance problem, and also it's not easy to flash the firmware for jbod mode. http://www.spinics.net/lists/ceph-devel/msg16661.html I don't known if theses performance problem has finally been solved ? Another option could be to use supermicro server, they have some 2U - 16 disks chassis + one or two lsi jbod controller. But, I have had in past really bad experience with supermicro motherboard. (Mainly firmware bug, ipmi card bug,.....) Does someone have experience with supermicro, and give me advise for a good motherboard model?
