Erasire coding is highly cpu intensive and usually it's not recommended for VMs.<div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1643737430787"><br></div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1643737431022">You can create your own gluster volume [1] and then test your workload.</div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1643737572982"><br></div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1643737573165">[1] <a id="linkextractor__1643737581754" data-yahoo-extracted-link="true" href="https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.5/html/administration_guide/chap-red_hat_storage_volumes-creating_dispersed_volumes_1">https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.5/html/administration_guide/chap-red_hat_storage_volumes-creating_dispersed_volumes_1</a></div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1643737581811"><br></div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1643737581957">Best Regards,</div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1643737587746">Strahil Nikolov<br> <br> <blockquote style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;"> <div style="font-family:Roboto, sans-serif; color:#6D00F6;"> <div>On Tue, Feb 1, 2022 at 11:33, alishirv--- via Users</div><div>&lt;users@ovirt.org&gt; wrote:</div> </div> <div style="padding: 10px 0 0 20px; margin: 10px 0 0 0; border-left: 1px solid #6D00F6;"> <div dir="ltr">Hello everyone, <br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I'm new to oVirt. I want to set up a cost-efficient and fault-tolerant virtualization environment. Our VMs have low to medium IOPS, 70% of VMs have low IOPS and about 30% of them require about 5K IOPS. All the disks are NVMe. I found that the most cost-efficient storage plan in the current oVirt is a two-way replica with an arbiter and its storage overhead is more than 100%. As far as I know, we can use erasure coding with less storage overhead. Is there any plan to support erasure coding in oVirt? Would you even recommend erasure coding for VM workloads?<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Best regards,<br></div><div dir="ltr">Ali<br></div><div dir="ltr">_______________________________________________<br></div><div dir="ltr">Users mailing list -- <a ymailto="mailto:users@ovirt.org" href="mailto:users@ovirt.org">users@ovirt.org</a><br></div><div dir="ltr">To unsubscribe send an email to <a ymailto="mailto:users-leave@ovirt.org" href="mailto:users-leave@ovirt.org">users-leave@ovirt.org</a><br></div><div dir="ltr">Privacy Statement: <a href="https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html" target="_blank">https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html</a><br></div><div dir="ltr">oVirt Code of Conduct: <a href="https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/" target="_blank">https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/</a><br></div><div dir="ltr">List Archives: <a href="https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/5HACZHHGJS7BL253PEA65FYAK7S4SDQL/" target="_blank">https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/5HACZHHGJS7BL253PEA65FYAK7S4SDQL/</a><br></div> </div> </blockquote></div>
