Lets say that you had roughly 60 OSDs that you wanted to use to provide storage for VMware, through RBDs served through iscsi. Target VM types are completely mixed. Web front ends, app tier.. a few databases.. and the kitchen sink. Estimated number of VMs: 50-200 b How would people recommend the storage be divided up? The big questions are: * 1 pool, or multiple,and why * many RBDs, few RBDs, or single RBD per pool? why? -- Philip Brown| Sr. Linux System Administrator | Medata, Inc. 5 Peters Canyon Rd Suite 250 Irvine CA 92606 Office 714.918.1310| Fax 714.918.1325 pbrown@xxxxxxxxxx| www.medata.com _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
