Hello.
I am planning to deploy a 2-node cluster, hyperconverged scenario. It will run banch of virtual machines.
If i not misunderstanding, for maximum i/o localization, i must have a two HA-device.
Should I place this image files on different physical luns? Or i can use one lun/volume on each server, containing two thick-provisioned image?
Assume, each of my servers have 8 HDDs, 2 independent RAID controllers. Options:
a) I create 2 RADI10 from 4 HDDS on each server, and place a ha-image on each own lun
b) I create a RAID10 from 8 HDDS, formatting it in one big volume, place on that two HA-image.
c) I create a RAID10 from 8 HDDS, splitting it in two volumes, place a ha-image on each own volume
What option will be the best from the point of perfomance?
What option will be the best from the point of resyncing HA-images after disaster?
And, i doubt about redundancy. Actually, with RAID10, we have a double overhead in capacity (ok), and then we add a mirror by ha-device. From 8 disks, we getting only 2-disk capacity. Is there any good options to reduce it?
