There’s more to latency than just distance. What is the measured latency? A:B, B:C, C:A? > > If using a stretched pool across all 3 datacenters, what happens if one > datacenter fails ?

That sentence refers to a non-stretch cluster. Tell us why you’re spreading across three DCs, what you’re trying to accomplish, and what your performance requirements are. AIUI a stretch 3-site cluster requires all pools to be replicated, size=6. Explicit stretch mode treats the mon quorum in a different way. With two OSD sites you deploy a tiebreaker at a third site, which is possibly just a cloud VM. With three OSD sites, I might speculate that one would deploy 7 mons, 2 At each OSD site + tiebreaker. Operations on a stretch cluster can be slow. Sometimes separate clusters with asynchronous replication make more sense. > > > If i am on the wrong path, maybe someone has a link for me, where is can find > information on this setup ? > > Cheers > Soeren _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-le...@ceph.io
