After you have understood the supported cluster configurations and have analyzed your business requirements, you can start to plan your deployment details. Write down the configuration, including your OneFS cluster settings and AWS infrastructure information. The following table contains an example used in this guide for each item. For this example, we will deploy a 4-node SSD cluster using the m5dn.12xlarge instance type.
Configuration items | Example used in this guide | Note |
Cluster name | vonefs-cfv |
|
EC2 instance type | m5dn.12xlarge |
|
EBS type | gp3 |
|
Cluster size | 4 | If you are deploying a 4-node or 5-node cluster, and you need to expand the cluster size in the future, you must ensure that you are using a correct combination of volume count per node and single volume size, which allows you to expand to a maximum of 6 nodes. See supported cluster configuration details for all supported combinations. |
EBS volume counts per node | 6 | |
Single EBS volume sizes | 1TiB | |
Cluster raw capacity | 24TiB | Ensure that your cluster raw capacity is within the supported range. See Supported cluster configuration for the capacity limitation. |
