Hello Community, I'm making some changes and I would like to hear? your opinion on the topic. First, let me share my setup. I have 3 systems with in a replica 3 arbiter 1 hyperconverged setup (oVirt) which use 1 gbit networks for any connectivity. I have added 4 dual-port 1 gbit NICs ( 8 ports per machine in total) and connected them directly between ovirt1 and ovirt2 /data nodes/ with LACP aggregation (layer3+layer4 hashing). As ovirt1 & ovirt2 are directly connected /trying to reduce costs by avoiding the switch/ I have setup /etc/hosts for the arbiter /ovirt3/ to point tothe old IPs . So they look like: ovirt1 & ovirt2 /data nodes/ /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 192.168.1.90 ovirt1.localdomain ovirt1 192.168.1.64 ovirt2.localdomain ovirt2 192.168.1.41 ovirt3.localdomain ovirt3 10.10.10.1 gluster1.localdomain gluster1 10.10.10.2 gluster2.localdomain gluster2 ovirt3 /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 #As gluster1 & gluster2 are directly connected , we cannot reach them. 192.168.1.90 ovirt1.localdomain ovirt1 gluster1 192.168.1.64 ovirt2.localdomain ovirt2 gluster2 192.168.1.41 ovirt3.localdomain ovirt3 Do you see any obstacles to 'peer probe' and then 'replace brick' the 2 data nodes. Downtime is not an issue, but I preffer not to wipe the setup. Thanks for reading this long post and don't hesitate to recommend any tunings. I am still considering what values to put for the client/server thread count. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
