[ovirt-users] Re: ovirt 4.3.7 + Gluster in hyperconverged (production design)

Hi, After playing a bit with oVirt and Gluster in our pre-production environment for the last year, we have decided to move forward with a our production design using ovirt 4.3.7 + Gluster in a hyperconverged setup. For this we are looking get answers to a few questions that will help out with our design and eventually lead to our production deployment phase: Current HW specs (total servers = 18): 1.- Server type: DL380 GEN 9 2.- Memory: 256GB 3.-Disk QTY per hypervisor: - 2x600GB SAS (RAID 0) for the OS - 9x1.2TB SSD (RAID[0, 6..]..? ) for GLUSTER. 4.-Network: - Bond1: 2x10Gbps - Bond2: 2x10Gbps (for migration and gluster) Our plan is to build 2x9 node clusters, however the following questions come up: 1.-Should we build 2 separate environments each with its own engine? or should we do 1 engine that will manage both clusters?

to RAID configuration: - JBOD or RAID6 or…?. - what is the benefit or downside of using JBOD vs RAID 6 for this particular scenario?

3.-Would you recommend Ansible-based deployment (if supported)? If yes where would I find the documentation for it? or should we just deploy using the UI?. - I have reviewed the following and in Chapter 5 it only mentions Web UI https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_hyperconverged_infr... - Also looked at https://github.com/gluster/gluster-ansible/tree/master/playbooks/hc-ansib... but could not get it to work properly.

4.-what is the recommended max server qty in a hyperconverged setup with gluster, 12, 15, 18...?
