Address review comments from previous patch. Also implemented abbreviations as substitutions in docs/doc/source/shared/strings.txt. NB: This doc still to be reconciled against existing install/deploy content. Restored fault/index version of FM toctree in top-level index. Removed Fault Management from top-level index. Initial review submission. Signed-off-by: Stone <ronald.stone@windriver.com> Change-Id: I76c2e99bd96bb1d58d6daf67ac46e6e48e4396d7 Signed-off-by: Stone <ronald.stone@windriver.com>

Standard Configuration with Dedicated Storage
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
Deployment of |prod| with dedicated storage nodes provides the highest capacity
|
|
\(single region\), performance, and scalability.

.. note::
|
|
Physical L2 switches are not shown in the deployment diagram in subsequent
|
|
chapters. Only the L2 networks they realize are shown.
|
|
|
|
See :ref:`Common Components <common-components>` for a description of common
|
|
components of this deployment configuration.
|
|
|
|
The differentiating physical feature of this model is that the controller,
|
|
storage, and worker functionalities are deployed on separate physical hosts
|
|
allowing controller nodes, storage nodes, and worker nodes to scale
|
|
independently from each other.
|
|
|
|
The controller nodes provide the master function for the system. Two controller
|
|
nodes are required to provide redundancy. The controller nodes' server and
|
|
peripheral resources such as CPU cores/speed, memory, storage, and network
|
|
interfaces can be scaled to meet requirements.
|
|
|
|
Storage nodes provide a large scale Ceph cluster for the storage backend for
|
|
Kubernetes |PVCs|. They are deployed in replication groups of either two or
|
|
three for redundancy. For a system configured to use two storage hosts per
|
|
replication group, a maximum of eight storage hosts \(four replication groups\)
|
|
are supported. For a system with three storage hosts per replication group, up
|
|
to nine storage hosts \(three replication groups\) are supported. The system
|
|
provides redundancy and scalability through the number of Ceph |OSDs| installed
|
|
in a storage node group, with more |OSDs| providing more capacity and better
|
|
storage performance. The scalability and performance of the storage function is
|
|
affected by the |OSD| size and speed, optional |SSD| or |NVMe| Ceph journals,
|
|
CPU cores and speeds, memory, disk controllers, and networking. |OSDs| can be
|
|
grouped into storage tiers according to their performance characteristics.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
A storage backend is not configured by default. You can use either
|
|
internal Ceph or an external Netapp Trident backend.

|
|
|
|
On worker nodes, the primary disk is used for system requirements and for
|
|
container local ephemeral storage.
