My nodes will be 8 dell M620s with 96GB ram and dual 10core intel processor= s. As they are in M1000 chassis, I will be using fabric A for ovirtmgmt ne= twork and the fabA interfaces will be a bond mode1. Fabric A is a pair of = cisco 3130s, and the stacking cables were not used by previous admin and ar= e long lost (thus, the mode1 for ovirtmgmt). The fabric B will be dual por= t broadcom mezzanine cards into powerconnect 6348s that will be stacked. M= y fabB will be used for iscsi traffic that will be on a equalogic iscsi SAN= , and node interfaces will be a mode4. Regular network traffic for both nodes and Vm's will go thru ovirtmgmt, and= iscsi traffic will be isolated on the dedicated 6348 switches. Some Vms w= ill have interfaces for iscsi, as they will have their own dedicated luns o= n the EQ SAN for their own data. Am in on a valid track here?

Try organizing your setup based on the following areas; 1. Network design - What connect where, which networks will you have? - Capacity planning - Special considerations (VLANs, etc). 2. Storage design - What connect where, and how: iscsi, nfs, FC, etc. - Capacity planning 3. Management server - Fedora? - CPU - RAM - Networking - Will it include other Apps? 4. Hosts - Fedora or ovirt-nodes? - CPU - RAM - Networking - Capacity plan - Fencing? Based on the above it'll be easier to see if we can expect issues. Well, one of my questions is: do I want my iscsi connections coming in over= ovirtmgmt or over an isolated non-routable network/interfaces? My first i= nclination is isolated non-routable. Yay nay? ________________________________ This is a PRIVATE message.
