Personally, I have seen a different rule for the RAM: "1GB for each 1TB of OSD daemons". This is I understand in this doc: http://ceph.com/docs/master/start/hardware-recommendations/#minimum-hardware-recommendations So, for instance, with (it's just a stupid example): - 4 OSD daemons of 6TB and - 5 OSD daemons of 1TB The needed RAM would be: 1GB x (4 x 6) + 1GB x (5 x 1) = 29GB for the RAM Is it correct? Because if I follow the "2GB RAM per OSD" rule, I just need: 2GB x 9 = 18GB. Which rule is correct? > 1GHz or so for per pure HDD based OSD, at least 2GHz for HDD OSDs with SSD > journals, as much as you can afford for entirely SSD based OSDs. Are there links about the "at least 2Ghz per OSD with SSD journal", because I have never seen that except in this mailing list. For instance in the "HARDWARE CONFIGURATION GUIDE" of Inktank, it is just indicated: "one GHz per OSD" (https://ceph.com/category/resources/). Why should SSD journals increase the needed CPU? -- François Lafont _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
