Question about adding SSDs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello ceph community,

We have a ceph cluster (Proxmox based) with is HDD-based.  We’ve had some performance and “slow MDS” issues while doing VM/CT backups from the Proxmox cluster, especially when rebalancing is going on at the same time.

My thought is that one of following is going to improve performance / response:
1. Add an M.2 drive for DB store on each node
2. Migrate the cephfs metadata pool to SSDs

We have ~25 nodes with ~3 OSDs per node.

(1) is a lot of work and will cost more.
(2) seems more risky (to me) since the metadata pool would have to be migrated (potential loss in transit?)

Which one of the 2 solutions above will give us more bang for the buck, or just plain better performance?  I would hate to implement (1) to find out that another solution would’ve been better.

Any other solutions that I haven’t thought of?

Thank you!

George
