[ovirt-users] planning ovirt for production

[Demeter Tibor]

Hi, 

We have a production environment with KVM+centos6 and we want to switch to ovirt. 
At this moment we have 12 VM on three independent server. 
This VMs uses the local disks of servers, we don't have a central storage. 

currently we have for ovirt 

- Two Dell R710 with 128 gigs of ram. 
- A third dell server for ovirt-engine. 
- four 1 gb/sec NICs/ server. 
- Smart GB switch 

we would like make an ovirt environment with 

- clusterized, redundant filesystem, data loss protection 
- If a host goes to down the VMs could made a restart on the remain host 
- LACP/bonding (mode 6) for fast I/O beetwen gluster hosts, we don't have 10Gbe nics 
- 8 TB of disk capacity for VMs 

we don't want: 

- using hw raid on servers, because we need free disk tray for more capacity 

My questions. 

- Which glusterfs method is the best for us for performance? 
- Can I make a real "performance" disk i/o by 4-4 NICs ? Or I need 10 Gbe nic for this? 
- How much disk need for good redundancy/performance? 4/server or 2/server ? 
- What will the weak point our project? 

Thanks in advance. 

Tibor
