Hi,
Looking for a little advise with people who has used Ceph a little more than myself!
I have just purchased the following equipment
2 x Dell C6100
4 Blades in each consisting of
2 x L5640
96GB RAM
2 x 10Gb NIC Mez Cards (Waiting to be delivered)
The model has 12 x 3.5" drives.
I am looking to build a hyperconverged model using ceph as the underlying storage platform (running bluestore possibly) deployed using ansible-ceph.
For the portal / automation / orchestration layers I will be using Ocata openstack deployed via ansible-openstack running KVM for the hypervisor.
I will divide the servers; 2 for management, 2 for a NFV environment and 4 for Tenant (Guest) workloads.
Getting to the question I suppose.... I was looking at buying 24 x 1TB drives to provide a usable storage of about 8TB for the ceph cluster, however I am unsure on how the performance will be over those 24 drives. I was either going for the 1TB Seagate Barracuda's or the 1TB WD Golds.
Any assistance would be good before I splash out over 1K on HDDs.
