Hardware
Minimum hardware for Each storage nodes :
General hardware recommendations Here are some general recommendations for your hardware, including nodes, servers, CPUs, memory, network, and disk drives. Number of nodes
- For a single cluster, have a minimum of three storage nodes.
- To scale performance and capacity, simply add nodes.
- It is best to add nodes in multiples of three, although they can be added in any quantity.
Type of servers
- The Hedvig standard is dual-socket x64 servers with onboard drives (SSDs and/or
HDDs).
- It is better to scale the cluster using a larger number of small capacity servers, as
opposed to using a smaller number of large capacity servers. Hedvig is optimized for scale-out. CPUs
- A multi-core Intel E5/E7 CPU, or equivalent, is best.
- In general, the latest CPU generations and models are best.
Memory
- The higher the memory capacity per node the better, because Hedvig utilizes memory
for internal processes and caching.
- The minimum memory configuration for each physical server for a Hedvig Cluster Node
(non-hyperconverged) is usually 48 GB. Typical deployments use servers with 128 to 256 GB. Network
- The Hedvig standard is a 10 GbE network, but 40 GbE is better.
- Gigabit is supported, but it is bandwidth limited.
Hedvig provide prebuild OVF templates / containers / ISO for deploy node and proxies node.
Storage node setup
- Install minimal Centos 6.7 on all storage nodes.
- All the drives should stay unformatted hedvig process take care of all formating and setup.
