Hello Guys, Here at University of Palermo (Italy) we are planning to switch from vmware to ovirt using the hyperconverged solution. Our design is a 6 nodes cluster, each node with this configuration: - 1x Dell PowerEdge R7425 server; - 2x AMD EPYC 7301 Processor; - 512GB of RAM (8x 64GB LRDIMM, 2666MT/s, Quad Rank); - 2x Broadcom 57412 Dual Port 10Gb SFP+ ethernet card; - 3x 600GB 10K RPM SAS for the OS (Raid1 + hotspare); - 5x 1.2TB 10K RPM SAS for the hosted storage domain (Raid5 + hotspare); - 11x 2.4TB 10KRPM SAS for the vm data domain (Raid6 + hotspare); - 4x 960GB SSD SAS for an additional SSD storage domain (Raid5 + hotspare); Is this configuration supported or I have to change something? Thank you and Best Regards. -- Benedetto Vassallo Responsabile U.O.

Hi Benedetto, we have a running cluster with the same machine and a similar configuration, currently we haven't encounter any issue. We're running ovirt 4.3.7.   Greeting,     Paolo Il 22/01/20 17:46, Benedetto Vassallo ha scritto: >

Yes, I know this, but there is a way from the UI to create the storage domain using more then one disk?

Thank you, I'm waiting for your news. Best Regards -- -- Benedetto Vassallo Responsabile U.O.
