antonmayGood day all10:05
Kiloshi antonmay 10:06
Kilosantonmay what10:06
Kilosantonmay or may not, all depends10:06
* Kilos hides10:07
antonmaylol10:07
antonmayja10:07
Kilosall good?10:07
antonmayNo not really, I need help, well somebody that can get me a DAS server that can take 10TB SATA drives10:08
theblazehenantonmay I assume you can't build it yourself?10:09
antonmayI need one with 12 bays I need 60TB10:10
antonmayI have a md3200 but can only go 8TB drives and SAS only10:11
theblazehenIs something like ceph not an option? Or glusterfs?10:11
theblazehenThen you can use say 2 nodes10:11
theblazehenSAS can take sata drives IIRC, but sata can't take sas10:11
antonmayI have glusterfs running, but this is to connect to one of our mysql servers10:11
ludoafternoon andrewlsd10:45
Kiloshi ludo 10:46
andrewlsd\o ludo10:46
ludoHi Kilos10:46
Kiloshi thatgraemeguy 10:46
Kilosand inetpro 10:46
ludoHi All!10:46
andrewlsdantonmay: 45Drives.com (basically supermicro devices) as designed/used by BackBlaze.com10:47
andrewlsdantonmay: I might have missed something, am I correct that this is not for glusterfs, but _is_ for storage for mysql servers. in which case, iops really matters.10:48
antonmayyes andrew10:53
antonmayi got the seagate 10TB ironwolf disks, but sata not sas10:54
andrewlsdie, you'll need lots of SATA backplanes.11:03
andrewlsdantonmay: but watch out. Several of the multi-SATA-port backplanes share a single SATA throughput channel, so if a 2-port, it effectively becomes 0.5 speed.11:04
andrewlsdsomething like these might be useful. I am not recommending them, just googled and this was first result https://www.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/HDD-Controllers/SATA-Cards/4-Port-PCI-Express-SATA-6Gbps-RAID-Controller-Card~PEXSAT34RH11:05
theblazehenIf it's a shared 6 gbit sata, then I'm guessing most HDDs can't even push 3 gbit11:05
theblazehen(Even my raid + ssd can't push more than 3.5 gbit total)11:05
andrewlsdso, PCIE SATA cards are probably fine, just be careful of "port multiplier" cards11:06
andrewlsdmultipliers also do speed negotiation apparently, port will function at speed of lowest SATA-version/speed drive attached  (much like USB hub)11:08
andrewlsdantonmay: remember if building raid arrays on these, to spread the raid members across multiple hardware controllers, otherwise a single hardware controller card failure would take out your whole drive array.  11:10
andrewlsdalthough, tbh, that's a bit like saying losing a single motherboard would take out your whole server.11:10
andrewlsdso suggest you disregard my previous "spread" comment.11:11
nsnzeroandrewlsd: hi 11:12
nsnzerodoesnt raid have a protocol for single hdd failure ?11:12
theblazehennsnzero RAID 5, yeah. RAID 6 is 2 disk11:14
nsnzerogood to know theblazehen 11:16
theblazehennsnzero and an arbitary number if you use erasure coding11:17
andrewlsd\o nsnzero11:23
andrewlsdnsnzero: single hdd failure. but not hdd controller (of several drives) failure. 11:24
andrewlsdmy point was to convey that using a RAID level that can tolerate drive failure might _not_ be enough if an add-on card fails.11:24
nsnzero100% correct andrewlsd 11:25
andrewlsdif creating multiple raid arrays, then the drives could be selected one from each controller. to minimize that risk.11:25
andrewlsdbut not if a single array is being created.11:26
nsnzerocard failures are much rarer than hdd failures though 11:26
* andrewlsd drinks yoghurt 11:26
andrewlsd^ random11:26
* andrewlsd woke up at 2am trying to figure out how to test hyper-converged oVirt configuration.11:27
andrewlsdtheblazehen: I need hardware too :-/11:27
andrewlsdsomething like 3 hosts with internal drives providing glusterfs shares.11:28
* andrewlsd does not want to do nested KVM to make that lab.11:28
nsnzeroorvirt is a vm - hyper-converged - no idea about that 11:28
theblazehenYeah. How does it handle a node going down (planned)? @andrewlsd 11:29
andrewlsdtheblazehen: glusterfs heals.11:29
andrewlsd(and/or re-balances)11:29
theblazehenandrewlsd But what if I don't want it to heal. I want it to wait for me to bring the node back up11:29
andrewlsdbut those are some of the questions I'm trying to get answers for.11:29
theblazehenIs that possible?11:29
andrewlsdI doesn't _node_ the answer ;-D11:30
theblazehenha ha11:30
* nsnzero knows what hyper-converged is now 11:30
andrewlsdhmm. virtual Datacentre should come with Oculus Rift interface.11:31
andrewlsdB: "I have a single-node hyperconverged platform"11:31
andrewlsdC: "Oh, you mean you have a server, with disks, memory and network cards"11:31
andrewlsdB:  ;-(11:32
* andrewlsd imagines that as an XKCD cartoon.11:32
theblazehenJavascript sucks. Well, nodejs. Spent around 3 hours so far trying to get gulp / babel to build things. Or whatever. 11:33
nsnzeroandrewlsd: lol11:40
nsnzeroits much more costly as you have to upgrade the hardware at once 11:40
nsnzeromy further venture in filesystems and disk hardware involves formating a hdd with luks and btrfs 11:48
theblazehenYou've got local backups then right? I use btrfs, but I don't trust it after last time11:53
nsnzerotheblazehen: just testing it out - first time i got luks to work properly11:57
* andrewlsd sings: You're up all night to get luk-key12:23
nsnzeroandrewlsd: thats funny -lol12:30
nsnzerohave a good afternoon everyone12:35
antonmayWhat is so difficult to understand the concept of sftp???? AAARRRGGGGG12:38
antonmayPS welcome back Kilos. All good?12:39
andrewlsdantonmay: because people think it is ftps.12:49
thatgraemeguygood morning13:01
thatgraemeguybetter late than never :)13:02
* andrewlsd disconnects13:06
Kilosyeah all ok but massive storm starting here. could be gone a while13:24
Kilos-storm has hit and power went. night all, sleep tight17:27
inetprosame here... good night kil... 17:27
nsnzerogood evening all17:34
