Hardware Recommendations
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Ceph runs on commodity hardware and a Linux operating system over a TCP/IP
|
|
network. The hardware recommendations for different processes/daemons differ
|
|
considerably.
|
|
|
|
* **OSDs:** OSD hosts should have ample data storage in the form of a hard drive
|
|
or a RAID. Ceph OSDs run the RADOS service, calculate data placement with
|
|
CRUSH, and maintain their own copy of the cluster map. Therefore, OSDs
|
|
should have a reasonable amount of processing power.
|
|
|
|
* **Monitors:** Ceph monitor hosts require enough disk space for the cluster map,
|
|
but usually do not encounter heavy loads. Monitor hosts do not need to be
|
|
very powerful.
|
|
|
|
* **Metadata Servers:** Ceph metadata servers distribute their load. However,
|
|
metadata servers must be capable of serving their data quickly. Metadata
|
|
servers should have strong processing capability and plenty of RAM.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: If you are not using the Ceph File System, you do not need a meta data server.
|
|
|
|
Minimum Hardware Recommendations
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
Ceph can run on inexpensive commodity hardware. Small production clusters
|
|
and development clusters can run successfully with modest hardware.

|
|
|
|
.. important: If you are running an OSD with a single disk, create a
|
|
partition for your volume storage that is separate from the partition
|
|
containing the OS. Generally, we recommend separate disks for the
|
|
OS and the volume storage.
|
|
|
|
Production Cluster Example
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Production clusters for petabyte scale data storage may also use commodity
|
|
hardware, but should have considerably more memory, processing power and data
|
|
storage to account for heavy traffic loads.
|
|
|
|
A recent (2012) Ceph cluster project is using two fairly robust hardware
|
|
configurations for Ceph OSDs, and a lighter configuration for monitors.
