I had a bit of time on friday, tested sata, scsi, and virtio config for the vm, speeds were all relatively close the sata average lower, scsi and virtio similar. Hoping I have time to install the new drives, install and configure Harvester, and maybe test tomorrow. Going to be LH v1 on the OS disk (sata interface) and LH v2 on the nvme. I think network speed is going to be my next limitation, only have 10gbe right now, might need to aggregate both connections for management/storage, or buy cards that support 25gbe and connect to the three ports I have on another switch in the system. It’s nice to know where the limitations are before designing a system.
Also hoping the LH v2 kind work in kind of a round robin way. Host one sends the data to local disk and to host 2, host 2 then forwards the data to host 3. Not entirely real time like LH v1 uses by sending the data local and to both hosts directly, but uses half the bandwidth or provides more bandwidth for the single handoff to keep things flowing faster. Guess I’ll find out soon enough.
