Hi, Thanks for taking a look, any help you can give would be much appreciated. In the next few months or so I would like to implement Ceph for my small business because it sounds cool and I love tinkering. The requirements are simple, I only need a minimum of 2TB (useable) of (highly) redundant file storage for our Mac's, Ubuntu and VSphere to use, Ubuntu is usually my distro of choice. I already have the following spare hardware that I could use: 4 x Supermicro c2550 servers 4 x 24GB Intel SLC drives 6 x 200GB Intel DC S3700 2 x Intel 750 400GB PCIe NVMe 4 x 2TB 7200rpm drives 10GBe NICs I am a little confused on how I should set it up, I have 4 servers so it's going to look more like your example PoC environment, should I just use 3 of the 4 servers to save on energy costs (the 4th server could be a cold spare)? So I guess I will have my monitor nodes on my OSD nodes. Would I just have each of the physical nodes with just one 2TB disk, would I use BlueStore (it looks cool but I read it's not stable until later this year)? I have no idea on what I should do for RGW, RBD and CephFS, should I just have them all running on the 3 nodes? Thanks again!
