Thank you very much,  very usefull information.
I will proceed with different scenarios, depending on client's environment.
Have a nice day,

Leo

Hello everyone,
I have two things that i really need to understand regarding storage scaling using gluster.

Basically, I am trying to figure out a way to go from 1 single instance to multiple nodes cluster.

1. Single node SelfHosted Engine HyperConverged setup - scale instance up to 3 nodes:
- the gluster volumes are created as distributed type.
- is there a procedure to migate this single-host scenario to multiple nodes, considering that the 3 nodes setup is using replica 3 gluster volumes ?

Sahina, a quick check on the oVirt website didn't help me finding the documentation for Leo.
Can you please assist?

To move from a single host to multiple host, you can add additional hosts to your cluster via Ovirt. Distribute volume can be changed to a replica 3 volume - but ensure there's no ongoing I/O. The easier process is to add new replica 3 volumes and move your VM disks to it - for the VMs that require HA.


 

2. 3 Nodes SelfHosted Engine - add more storage nodes
- how should I increase the size of the already present replica 3 volumes ?
- should the volumes be as distribute-replicated in an environment larger than 3 nodes ?

Sahina, can you help preparing some documentation for ovirt.org as well?

Sure, contributions are welcome though - Leo, if you feel like pitching in

 

3. Is there a limit as a maximum number of compute nodes per cluster ?

I'm not aware of limits but according to above document I won't go over the 9 nodes in this configuration.



 

Thank you very much !

Leo
