SUSE Enterprise Storage powered by Ceph: технические характеристики и документация

SUSE Enterprise Storage powered by Ceph

SUSE Enterprise Storage (SES) with Hewlett Packard Enterprise enables an intelligent software-defined storage management solution, powered by Ceph technology, that enables organizations to deliver a unified, highly scalable, resilient and enterprise-grade storage infrastructure that is able to seamlessly adapt to changing business and data demands.

SUSE Enterprise Storage is scalable, software-defined storage system that handles block, object and file in one cluster-based system. You can define one cluster to handle all three interfaces (block, object and file) and size the cluster based on customer data requirements. As data use grows, you can easily add expansion nodes to scale into the petabyte and even exabyte range. 

SUSE Enterprise Storage is built on the open-source Ceph technology, and is designed to be:

• Scalable: a distributed storage cluster provides unlimited scalability from hundreds of terabytes to petabytes and beyond.
• Easy to manage: Self-healing and self-managed, that optimizes performance. Unified storage solution: Supports object, block and file storage within a single cluster.
• Enterprise-grade: Highly redundant and designed so there are no single points of failure, maximizing system resiliency and availability and seamless migration from SUSE Enterprise Storage 5.5 to 6
• A complete system: SUSE Enterprise Linux Server is integrated as part of each storage node.
• Other features:

- Enhanced manageability with the Ceph dashboard, event notification including SNMP traps and storage enclosure integration.

- Expanded availability and interoperability with CephFS snapshots, sync to external cloud using S3 interface and Elasticsearch sync module for RADOS gateway objects. Improved IT efficiency with QOS for RADOS block device clients and background operation QOS

What's New

• SUSE Enterprise Storage is based on Ceph Nautilus.
• New Ceph Dashboard.  The Ceph Dashboard replaces openATTIC for managing and monitoring Ceph through a web interface. Inspired by and derived from openATTIC, it provides the same functionality, plus more.
• Built on the latest SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
• iSCSI Target Management.  The ceph-iscsi framework replaces lrbd for managing iSCSI targets.

Key New Features

• DeepSea - Simplified configuration management via Salt.
• iSCSI Gateway - Distributed, highly-available block storage from any server capable of the iSCSI protocol.
• NFS-Ganesha - User-space NFS server access to your data.
• Monitoring - Real-time and scale-out monitoring to measure your storage cluster.
• Ceph Dashboard - Simple, web-based administration of the management components of your cluster.
• Samba Gateway - Improvements to connect Samba to CephFS mount points

At a Glance

Highly Scalable And Resilient

• SUSE Enterprise Storage delivers a single unified software-defined storage cluster that provides applications with object, block and file system storage.
• Ideal solution for scalable-storage use cases, and it provides all the services expected of an enterprise-grade storage solution.

Ready For Your It Infrastructure

• SUSE Enterprise Storage is  available on HPE ProLiant and Apollo

Hewlett Packard Enterprise branded SUSE licenses:

• Are identical to SUSE native software
• Are available in physical and electronic delivery forms
• Are transferable to other supported HPE Server as needed
• Should be sold with HPE hardware at time of purchase or within 30 days of the initial sale

SUSE Enterprise Storage ("SES")

SUSE Enterprise Storage is deployed in a cluster of nodes. Multiple SES storage clusters can be deployed in an organization. All nodes of a SES cluster come with both storage software and SUSE Enterprise Linux Server. No extra operating system order is needed.

SUSE Enterprise Storage Base ("SES Base") Configuration

To receive Subscription Offering benefits for SES Base, a Current SES Base Subscription Offering is required. A SES Base consists of SES OSD Nodes and SES Infrastructure Nodes.

The Unit of Measure for SES OSD Nodes is 1-2 Sockets per Physical Server. Subscription Offerings are Stackable. For example, a Physical Server with 4 Sockets needs 2 Subscription Offerings for 1-2 Sockets.

The Unit of Measure for SES Infrastructure Nodes is one (1) Instance of a SES Infrastructure Node running on a Physical Server or Virtual Machine.

A SUSE Enterprise Storage Subscription Offering is required for each SES Node deployed on a Physical Server or Virtual Machine as part of the SES Storage Cluster. You can use Physical Servers or Virtual Machines running SES OSD Nodes and SES Infrastructure Nodes with one SES Base Subscription Offering but shall under no circumstances exceed:

1. Up to four (4) Instances of 1-2 Socket Physical Servers for SES OSD Nodes and

2. Up to six (6) Instances for SES Infrastructure Nodes running on Physical Servers or Virtual Machines.

A SES Storage Cluster built with a SES Base Subscription Offering may only be expanded by adding one or more SES Expansion Subscription Offerings. Only one (1) SES Base Subscription Offering can be used in a SES Storage Cluster.

SUSE Enterprise Storage Expansion ("SES Expansion") Node

To receive Subscription Offering benefits for SES Expansion, a Current SES Expansion Subscription Offering is required. A SES Expansion consists of one (1) SES OSD Node and one (1) SES Infrastructure Node.

The Unit of Measure for a SES Expansion OSD Node is 1-2 Sockets per Physical Server. Subscription Offerings are Stackable. For example, a Physical Server with 4 Sockets needs two (2) Subscription Offerings for 1-2 Sockets.

The Unit of Measure for SES Expansion Infrastructure Nodes is one (1) Instance of a SES Infrastructure Node running on a Physical Server or Virtual Machine. If this Instance is deployed as a SES NFS Gateway Node or SES CIFS/Samba Gateway Node, such SES NFS Gateway Node or SES CIFS/Samba Gateway Node includes one (1) Subscription Offering for SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension for the sole purpose of deploying such SES NFS Gateway Node or SES CIFS/Samba Gateway Node within the SES Storage Cluster.

Minimum hardware requirements

Notes:

- Validate that HPE Server is certified with SUSE Linux Enterprise as is needed to run SUSE Enterprise Storage
https://techlibrary.hpe.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/supportmatrix/suse_linux.aspx

Minimal recommendations per storage node:

• Total RAM required = OSD count times (1 GB + OSD memory target [default 4 GB]) + 16 GB
• CPU recommendations

- 1x2 GHz CPU Thread per spinning disk

- 2x2 GHz CPU Thread per SSD

- 4x2 GHz CPU Thread per NVMe

• Separate 10 GbE networks (public/ client and backend)

- Required 4x10 GbE, recommended 2x25 GbE

• OSD disks should be exclusively used by SUSE Enterprise Storage
• Dedicated disk/SSD for the operating system, preferably in a RAID 1 configuration
• Additional 4 GB of RAM if cache tiering is used

Minimal recommendations for monitor nodes:

• Three SUSE Enterprise Storage monitor nodes are required
• Two GB of RAM per monitor node, add 2 GB for a manager node running Ceph Dashboard

- Recommended 8 GB RAM per monitor with manger + OS

• SSD in a RAID 1 configuration
• Monitor nodes should be bare metal, not virtualized, for performance reasons
• Mixing OSDs or monitor nodes with the other workload is not supported
• Configurations may vary from and frequently exceed, these recommendations depending on individual sizing and performance needs
• Bonded network interfaces for redundancy
