Prices seem to be dropping online at NewEgg etc and going from 2 nodes to 3 nodes for a quorum implies a lot more traffic than would be comfortable with 1G. Any NIC/Switch recommendations for RH/Cent 7.x and Ubuntu 16? -wk

[Gluster-users] So what are people using for 10G nics
Servers now also come with the copper 10Gbit network adapters built in the motherboard (Dell R730, supermicro, etc). But for those that do not, I have used the Intel X540-T2 adapters with Centos 7 and RHEL7. As for switches, our infrastructure uses expensive Cisco 9XXX series and FEX expanders, so cannot really say much about "inexpensive" ones.

Switch wise, have a look at the HP FlexFabric 5700-32XGT-8XG-2QSFP+ & Cisco SG550XG-24T. For what it's worth, you can minimise your bandwidth whilst maintaining quorum if you use arbiters. https://gluster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/arbiter-volumes-and-quorum/ On 26 August 2016 at 16:04, WK <wkmail at bneit.com> wrote:> Prices seem to be dropping online at NewEgg etc and going from 2 nodes to > 3 nodes for a quorum implies a lot more traffic than would be comfortable > with 1G. > > Any NIC/Switch recommendations for RH/Cent 7.x and Ubuntu 16? > > > -wk > > _______________________________________________ > Gluster-users mailing list > Gluster-users at gluster.org > http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users >-- Doug -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
