Thanks to Nikolov and Strahil for the valuable input! I was off for a few weeks, so I would like to apologize if I'm potentially reviving a zombie thread.

I am a bit confused about where to go with this environment after the discontinuation of the hyperconverged setup. What alternative options are there for us? Or do you think going the Gluster way would still be advisable, even though it seems as it is being discontinued over time?

Thanks for any input on this!

Best regards,
Jonas

Using the wizzard is utilizing the Gluster Andible roles.

I would highly recommend using it, unless you know what you are doing (for example storage alignment when using Hardware raid).

Keep in mind that the DHT xlator (the logic in distributed volumes) is shard aware, so your shards are spread between subvolumes and additional performance can be gained.So using replicated-distributed volumes have their benefits.

If you decide to avoid the software raid, use only replica3 volumes as with SSDs/NVMEs usually the failures are not physical, but logical (maximum writes reached -> predictive failure -> total failure).

Also, consider mounting via noatime/relatime and context="system_u:object_r:glusterd_brick_t:s0" for your gluster bricks.

Best Regards,

Strahil Nikolov
