To: <ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
G’Day All,
I have two old Promise Vtrak E310s JBOBs (still with support) each with 4 600GB Seagate SAS HDD and 8 2TB SATA HDD and two old HP DL360.
While I am seeing so many ceph-deploy this and ceph-deploy that, I have not found any help that starts with the hardware.
There seem to be lots of assumption about the hardware.
Can anyone provide some directional oversight on getting the hardware going so as to accept ceph in a HA setting?
For example, how should all these drives be provisioned on each VTrak example and served up to the HP DL360, RAID or no Raid?
I plan to use CentOS
Once ceph is installed and has control of the storage from the VTraks I plan to install VirtualBox or Oracle VM or VMware or anything else that I can use at zero or minimum cost.
I am not adverse to paying for some instructional help in this regard.
Please advise
Ferguson,
