Your question is difficult to parse. Typically RAID and JBOD are mutually exclusive. By "flash-backed", do you mean a battery backup unit (BBU) on your RAID controller?

Hi, Trying to make the most of a limited budget. I need fast I/O for operations under 4MB, and high availability of VMs in an Ovirt cluster. I Have 3 nodes running Ovirt and want to rebuild them with hardware for converging storage. Should I use 2 960GB SSDs in RAID1 in each node, replica 3? Or can I get away with 1 larger SSD per node, JBOD, replica 3? Is a flash-backed Raid required for

Based on your message, it sounds like your total usable capacity requirement is around <1TB. With a modern SSD, you'll get something like 40k theoretical IOPs for 4k I/O size. You don't mention budget. What is your budget? You mention "4MB operations", where is that requirement coming from? On Wed, Apr 4, 2018 at 12:41 PM, Vincent Royer <vincent at epicenergy.ca>

It worries me how many threads talk about low performance. I'm about to build out a replica 3 setup and run Ovirt with a bunch of Windows VMs. Are the issues Tony is experiencing "normal" for Gluster? Does anyone here have a system with windows VMs and have good performance? *Vincent Royer* *778-825-1057* <http://www.epicenergy.ca/> *SUSTAINABLE MOBILE ENERGY SOLUTIONS*

Yes the flash-backed RAID cards use a super-capacitor to backup the flash cache. You have a choice of flash module sizes to include on the card. The card supports RAID modes as well as JBOD. I do not know if Gluster can make use of battery-backed flash-based Cache when the disks are presented by the RAID card in JBOD. The Hardware vendor asked "Do you know if Gluster makes use of

Tony?s performance sounds significantly sub par from my experience. I did some testing with gluster 3.12 and Ovirt 3.9, on my running production cluster when I enabled the glfsapi, even my pre numbers are significantly better than what Tony is reporting: ??????????????????? Before using gfapi: ]# dd if=/dev/urandom of=test.file bs=1M count=1024 1024+0 records in 1024+0 records out 1073741824

Thanks, The 3 servers are new Lenovo units with redundant PS backed by two huge UPS units (on for each bank of power supplies). I think the chances of losing two nodes is incredibly slim, and in that case a Disaster Recovery from offsite backups would be reasonable. My requirements are about 2TB, highly available (so that I can reboot one of the 3 servers without taking down services). Beyond

Thanks, I suppose what I'm trying to gain is some clarity on what choice is best for a given application. How do I know if it's better for me to use a raid card or not, to include flash-cache on it or not, to use ZFS or not, when combined with a small number of SSDs in Replica 3.
