Re: Cookbook for Clustered NAS

[Thing <thing.thing@xxxxxxxxx>]

Write disk i/o seems very poor with Gluster so you maybe disappointed with trying to run multiple VMs on the same disks all doing i/o.

Hi All,

I am planning to build highly available Clustered NAS using GlusterFS, which will be accessed by windows and linux clients on VMware or Hyper-V hypervisor.

I am looking for a cook book of sorts to achieve this, since this is new implementation  I want to do it right from the begining

Hardware : 2x 4 U servers with 36 X 4 TB drives (I understand minimum 3 nodes are required for reliable cluster, but lack of space on the rack means we have to start with 2 and add additional nodes later

Workload: Store VMware VM files and store backup data

Compatibility : VMware Hypervisor 

This is going to be production system, so should I use RAID or EC is ready for production?

High Availability is the key

Any guidance will be much appreciated.

Cheers

Dev
