Looking to test oVirt on real hardware (aka no nesting)<br>

Scenario # 1:<br>
1x Supermicro 2027TR-HTRF 2U 4 node server<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Is that a hyper-converged setup of both oVirt and Gluster? </div><div>We usually do it in batches of 3 nodes.</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
I will install the o/s for each node on a SATADOM.<br>
Since each node will have 6x SSD for gluster storage.<br>
Should this be software RAID, hardware RAID or no RAID?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'd reckon that you should prefer HW RAID on software RAID, and some RAID on no RAID at all, but it really depends on your budget, performance, and your availability requirements.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
Scenario # 2:<br>
3x SuperMicro SC216E16-R1200LPB 2U server<br>
Each server has 24x 2.5" bays (front) + 2x 2.5" bays (rear)<br>
I will install the o/s on the drives using the rear bays (maybe RAID 1?)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Makes sense (I could not see the rear bays - might have missed them).</div><div>Will you be able to put some SSDs there for caching?</div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
For Gluster, we will use the 24 front bays.<br>
