Hi
I have a ceph cluster, running luminous, composed of 5 OSD nodes, which is using filestore.
Each OSD node has 2 E5-2620 v4 processors, 64 GB of RAM, 10x6TB SATA disk + 2x200GB SSD disk (then I have 2 other disks in RAID for the OS), 10 Gbps. So each SSD disk is used for the journal for 5 OSDs. With this configuration everything is running smoothly ...
We are now buying some new storage nodes, and I am trying to buy something which is bluestore compliant. So the idea is to consider a configuration something like:
- 10 SATA disks (8TB / 10TB / 12TB each. TBD)
- 2 processor (~ 10 core each)
- 64 GB of RAM
- 2 SSD to be used for WAL+DB
- 10 Gbps
For what concerns the size of the SSD disks I read in this mailing list that it is suggested to have at least 10GB of SSD disk/10TB of SATA disk.
So, the questions:
1) Does this hardware configuration seem reasonable ?
2) Are there problems to live (forever, or until filestore deprecation) with some OSDs using filestore (the old ones) and some OSDs using bluestore (the old ones) ?
3) Would you suggest to update to bluestore also the old OSDs, even if the available SSDs are too small (they don't satisfy the "10GB of SSD disk/10TB of SATA disk" rule) ?
Thanks, Massimo
