- pat yourself on the back for choosing ceph, there are a lot of experts(not including me :)) here willing to help(during office hours) - decide what you like to use ceph for, and how much storage you need. - Running just an osd on a server has not that many implications so you could rethink your test environment - Read here about when you need high frequency cpu's, cores, how much GB's of ram per osd/TB, - Don't think having a few 1Gbit can replace a >10Gbit. Ceph doesn't use such bonds optimal. I already asked about this years ago. Having a 10Gbe might make a SBC solution more costly than estimated. - I would use rhel7/centos7 as your base os. -----Original Message----- To: ceph-users@xxxxxxx Subject: Setting up a small experimental CEPH network People, I am interested in experimenting with CEPH on say 4 or 8 small form factor computers (SBCs?) - any suggestions about how to get started? I haven't bought anything yet - I have some working Fedora Workstations and Servers and a laptop but I don't want to experiment on them . .
