Re: Dell Ceph Hardware recommendations

That PDF specifically calls for P3700 NVMe SSDs, not the consumer 750. You need high endurance drives usually.

I’m using 1x400GB Intel P3700 per 9 OSDs (so 4xP3700 per 36 disk chassis).

Hello Michael​,

I maintain a small Ceph cluster at the University of Bath, our cluster 
consists of:

Monitors:
3 x Dell PowerEdge R630

- 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 v3
- 64GB RAM
- 4x 300GB SAS (RAID 10)

OSD Nodes:
6 x Dell PowerEdge R730XD & MD1400 Shelves

- 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650
- 128GB RAM
- 2x 600GB SAS (OS - RAID1)
- 2x 200GB SSD (PERC H730)
- 14x 6TB NL-SAS (PERC H730)
- 12x 4TB NL-SAS (PERC H830 - MD1400)

Please let me know if you want any more info.

In my experience thus far, I've found this ratio is not useful for cache 
tiering etc - the SSDs are in a
separate pool.

If I could start over, I'd go for fewer OSDs / host - and no SSDs (or a 
much better ratio - like 4:1).

Kind Regards,
Alex.

I'm really glad you noted this, I was just following Redhat/SuperMicro 
deployment reference architecture 
(https://www.redhat.com/en/files/resources/en-rhst-cephstorage-supermicro-
INC0270868_v2_0715.pdf) page 11 noted 12 disks per 7xx intel ssd.  So I was 
debating if it might have been suitable.  I try and have only 4 spinning 
disks per SSD cache.

If I get 4TB NL-SAS drives, how big would the SSD need to be?
