Network Requirements

Most deployments will work well enough with 1 Gigabit Ethernet as the throughout will scale as the number of servers increases.

As of RHSS 2.0 1 Gigabit Ethernet and 10Gigabit Ethernet are supported. Infiniband is in testing and it is recommended that 10 Gbe is used.


Storage Servers

The requirements for RHSS go beyond those of a basic GlusterFS system. The specs below are not the only working config, but this is a basic configuration comparison.

GlusterFS 3.3 RHSS 2.0
Architecture Intel/AMD x86 64-bit processor Intel/AMD x86 64-bit processor
Memory 1GB Minimum 16GB
System Disk 1 Disk 12 Disks RAID6
Netowork Gigabit or 10Gbe Ethernet Infiniband (OFED 1.5 or later) Gigabit or 10Gbe Ethernet
OS Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2+ Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 EUS
Installation ISO,DVD Satellite Server, ISO or DVD
Sub-System FS XFS Red Hat Scalable File System (XFS)

The system must be set up with two Volumes:

  • At least 2 disks totalling no less than 200GB, RAID 1: For the OS
  • At least 12 Disks, RAID6, XFS / LVMs: For the Data
