Recommended way of leveraging multiple disks by Ceph

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

 

I’d like to run Ceph on a few machines, each of which has multiple disks. The disks are heterogeneous: some are rotational disks of larger capacities while others are smaller solid state disks. What are the recommended ways of running ceph osd-es on them?

 

Two of the approaches can be:

1)      Deploy an osd instance on each hard disk. For instance, if a machine has six hard disks, there will be six osd instances running on it. In this case, does Ceph’s replication algorithm recognize that these osd-es are on the same machine therefore try to avoid placing replicas on disks/osd-es of a same machine?

2)      Create a logical volume spanning multiple hard disks of a machine and run a single copy of osd per machine.

 

If you have previous experiences, benchmarking results, or know a pointer to the corresponding documentation, please share with me and other users. Thanks a lot.

 

Cheers,

 

Fangzhe
