I'm trying to wrap my head around storage setups that might work for virtualization and I wonder if people here have experience with creating a drbd setup for this purpose.<br>
<br>
What I am currently planning to implement is this:<br>
2 Storage 8-bay nodes with 8gb RAM and a dual-core Xeon processor.<br>
Each system with gets equipped with 8 1TB SATA drives in a raid-5 configuration.<br></blockquote></div></blockquote><div><br><br>I see that it's not on the top of your list but what are your IO requirements? 1 TB SATA will be either 7.2K or 10K RPM and a RAID 5 write penalty will seriously decrease your IOPS. Have you given a thought to it?<br>
