If you have separate pools for each DC, you can construct custom CRUSH rules for each one that always picks one or two OSDs out of the "local" DC and then one or two out of the secondary. Of course if you lose the primary DC you might want to edit the CRUSH rules — things should keep working but I'd expect the CRUSH calculations to start taking longer as it repeatedly tries and fails to get the OSDs out of the first list. ;) But if you can get a <.1ms link I wouldn't expect you to need to worry about it. -Greg > > - ---------------- > Robert LeBlanc > PGP Fingerprint 79A2 9CA4 6CC4 45DD A904 C70E E654 3BB2 FA62 B9F1 > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: Mailvelope v1.1.0 > Comment: https://www.mailvelope.com > > wsFcBAEBCAAQBQJWAA80CRDmVDuy+mK58QAAK2UQAIadviUNo+hybghYO2de > 0Ayqy1SQ9hPjpwJUTWt0VKIgIoDMMbp1+LVd6EiPRNXPPwalDZen8z1ARW5F > o0g0nxMkJIJWxY2U3ch4s3oE85Hl5NqyPZIdaLfqQv7PXfFsRTM7rZDMRuLn > X9PWcxzZ3lvXj6WA/jiN42zXlhTlhLhtKV153poCtd/iCkytJUEPZF/c+Pr+ > /mIVVbbtzPDh5XC/Il/KEI1W+fZzPG27EL6N2YoskYWTEpUr0auBH7jTLm8B > kk4HKZToBsakP/j/LEhrh+MMW/ZNwuUaigWe351YQrkmlUBXxKVtnlgfJpDL > KIGvVDICRMwe6e3ubU7umsiFVchYPBlXFN3OoRmx3UfPp3WlfKong+PG9X8+ > JoukMyj630jmaDy7KPH5sKv+LUaLpWlWv6271bVUDlSMjPNHqVMlk/HsOGit > QYaWQQygQ+D/YedLP66xz+O6A8qfmrYfWBZZDdG9C49erw6Q6Ihzp6u+Hj1O > zt96JsmBjHcq27AfK1jSbZDGOHchL78/Ok3O4O01tC00HwRvQLy/ofppOzgn > KHnuLMs/9fZpSqh5sZ1BxWSgKBnYzc3npFloaOZLoVPT4Dv+hM8kL9lF0mHm > 3j1D4ZmysVaSU+zVw0WsWaNVQyrrPn+i9ivT6U/3VHiaS2Nz+BQTQeq0oMqQ > awOM > =sl/W > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list > ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
