I have an oVirt cluster with a significantly oversized SAN for storage (iSCSI, have 30TB storage but am only using about 2.5TB). I'm looking for a more appropriately-sized setup. Any suggestions? This is currently a Dell EqualLogic array - it doesn't look like they really even have a smallish VM-storage (at least that isn't VMware) product these days. Looking at our stats, we're doing more write than read ops (outside of when backups run), typically under 150 write ops per second. I'm not looking at replacing servers right now, so not looking at hyperconverged. Just interested in what hardware people are using these days for a setup this size. Thanks. -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>

For a small setup I've used Dell MD3000i (well, 3200i and higher) arrays. Very small and basic but they do the job just fine On Wed, Feb 17, 2021 at 1:27 PM Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net> wrote:

Hi, You can try either ESOS (https://www.esos-project.com/) Or You can use Open-e 4TB free edition, even though it is not Open Source, 4TB usage is free for life time Rgds On Wed, 17 Feb 2021, 23:57 Chris Adams, <cma@cmadams.net> wrote:
