[ovirt-users] Re: Managed Block Storage and more

Hi Strahil, Thanks for your reply, I have 16 nodes for now but more on the way. The reason why Ceph appeals me over Gluster because of the following reasons. 1. I have more experience with Ceph than Gluster. 2. I heard in Managed Block Storage presentation that it leverages storage software to offload storage related tasks. 3. Adding Gluster storage limits to 3 hosts at a time. 4. I read that there is a limit of maximum 12 hosts in Gluster setup. No such limitation if I go via Ceph. In my initial testing I was able to enable Centos repositories in Node Ng but if I remember correctly, there were some librbd versions present in Node Ng which clashed with the version I was trying to install. Does Ceph hyperconverge still make sense? Regards Shantur
