Hi Christian,

        Thanks for your reply, our performance requirement will be like below. It will be very helpful is your provide the details for below scenario.

As of now 6 TB data usage, in feature size will be 10 TB.

Per ceph client read and write 

Read  :- kB/s  57726
Write  :- kB/s  100144

We will be user around 10 clients 

Read  :- kB/s  57726   x 10 clients
Write  :- kB/s  100144 x 10 clients

Regards
Prabu GJ

You will want to spend more time reading the documentation and hardware
guides, as well as finding similar threads in the ML archives.

With SCSI I suppose you mean HDDs?

And there is not good answer, it depends on your needs and use case.
For example if your main goal is space and not performance, fewer but
larger HDDs will be a better fit.

The first part makes no sense, I suppose you mean one or few OSD per
server?

And again, it all depends on your goals and budget.
Find and read the hardware guides, there are other considerations like
RAM and CPU.

Many OSDs per server can be complicated and challenging, unless you know
very well what you're doing.

The usual compromise between cost and density tend to be 2U servers with
12-14 drives.

If your OSDs are powerful enough (CPU/RAM/fast SSD for leveldb), not
necessarily.
You will want at least 3 MONs for production.

Again, it can be shared if you have enough resources on the OSDs.

What would be a safe recommendation is to have 1-2 dedicated MON and MDS
hosts and the rest of the MONs on OSDs.
These dedicated hosts need to have the lowest IPs in your cluster to become
MON leader.

The most important statement/question last.

You will want to build a test cluster and verify that your application(s)
are actually working well with CephFS, because if you read the ML there
are cases when this may not be true.
