The official documentation also says: --- For an initial deployment of a multi-node Ceph cluster, it is advisable to deploy three monitors, increasing the number two at a time if a valid need for more than three exists. --- If you're fine with being able to just loose one MON at any given time, 3 is fine. I try to deploy 5 monitors in production, so that I can do maintenance on one machine and still have another crash during that time w/o impacting the cluster. There is no real correlation between OSDs (or even storage nodes) to MONs. People with VERY large deployments may have more than 5 monitors, there is a point of diminishing return, so more is not better. When deploying MONs you should of course make sure that you distribute them correctly across your failure domains, not all on the same switch, in the same rack, etc. Christian -- Christian Balzer Network/Systems Engineer chibi@xxxxxxx Global OnLine Japan/Rakuten Communications http://www.gol.com/ _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
