I'm looking for some advice on what to do about drives of different
sizes in the same cluster.
We have so far kept the drive sizes consistent on our main ceph
cluster (using 8TB drives). We're getting some new hardware with
larger, 12TB drives next, and I'm pondering on how best to configure
them. If I just simply add them, they will have 1.5x the data (which
is less of a problem), but will also get 1.5x the iops - so I presume
it will slow the whole cluster down as a result (these drives will be
busy, and the rest will not be as much). I'm wondering how people
generally handle this.
I'm more concerned about these larger drives being busier than the
rest - so I'd like to be able to put for example 1/3 drive of less
accessed data on them in addition to the usual data - to use the extra
capacity but not increase the load on them. Is there an easy way to
accomplish this? One possibility is to run two OSDs on the drive (in
two crush hierarchies), which isn't ideal. Can I just run one OSD
somehow and put it into two crush roots, or something similar?
You should adjust the weight of the new 12TB disk OSDs, to match the
weight of the current 8TB OSDs.
That will make the new disks the same as the old disks to Ceph :-) But
you'll lost the extra 4TB space, until you remove the 8TB disks from the
cluster...
Cheers
Eneko
