Subject: [PVE-User] 10G mesh to 40G DAC
Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2022 13:03:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <639da1da-5e4c-7c13-03cb-ce716cd07954@merit.unu.edu> (raw)
Hi,
I just wanted to share my experience of upgrading our cluster from 10G
mesh networking
(https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Full_Mesh_Network_for_Ceph_Server) to
arista 40G MLAG over DAC cables.
I expected DAC over switches to have a slightly increased latency over
direct (meshed) UTP RJ45 connections. Throughput would of course be much
higher in the new config. Ceph (on SSDs) is used mainly for VM images, RBD.
So, after having completed the migration yesterday, I can say that the
VMs feel much quicker. Specially the VMs using databases (LAMP servers
and a couple of management systems) are much more responsive now than
they were before.
Over all, we're very happy now. For the record, we're using dual arista
DCS-7050QX-32S MLAG now. Purchased refurb for around 1000 euro each,
including three years warranty.
Just thought I'd share. :-)
MJ
