Dear Ceph users, I am currently constructing a small hyperconverged Proxmox cluster with ceph as storage. So far I always had 3 nodes, which I directly linked together via 2 bonded 10G network interfaces for the Ceph storage, so I never needed any switching devices. This new cluster has more nodes, so I am considering using a 10G switch for the storage network. As I have no experience with such a setup, I wonder if there are any specific issues that I should think of (latency...)? As the whole cluster should be not too expensive, I am currently thinking of the following solution: 2* CRS317-1G-16s+RM switches: https://mikrotik.com/product/crs317_1g_16s_rm#fndtn-testresults SFP+ Cables like these: https://www.fs.com/de/products/48883.html Some network interface for each node with two SFP+ ports, e.g.: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/de/de/ark/products/39776/intel-ethernet-c… Connect each port with each switch and configure master/slave configuration so that the switches are redundant. What do you think of this setup - or is there any information / recommendation for an optimized setup of a 10G storage network?
