I know there is already a few threads about 2x replication but I wanted to start one dedicated to discussion on NVMe. There are some older threads, but nothing recent that addresses how the vendors are now pushing the idea of 2x. We are in the process of considering Ceph to replace our Nimble setup. We will have two completely separate clusters at two different sites that we are using rbd-mirror snapshot replication. The plan would be to run 2x replication on each cluster. 3x is still an option, but for obvious reasons 2x is enticing. Both clusters will be spot on to the super micro example in the white paper below. It seems all the big vendors feel 2x is safe with NVMe but I get the feeling this community feels otherwise. Trying to wrap my head around were the disconnect is between the big players and the community. I could be missing something, but even our Supermicro contact that we worked the config out with was in agreement with 2x on NVMe. Appreciate the input!
