Hi Austin et al. Any thoughts about this? Cheers On Tue, May 19, 2020 at 11:26 AM Alfredo De Luca <alfredo.deluca@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks Austin.

does it mean that it will never be possible or it's in a roadmap? Also is it possible to force/customise at your own responsibility? Cheers

Hi Alfredo:

I think you are using version later than 3.0 .

The answer should be no, the compute nodes don’t have storage personality , so ceph osds are not enabled in compute nodes.

Thanks.

Hi all.

Just a quick question.

For testing purpose, we deployed a *Distributed Cloud 3.0* with 2 controller. Than we deployed the sub-cloud with the option *Bare metal Standard with Controller Storage Installation*

Now in the future we will deploy *Bare metal Standard with Dedicated Storage Installation*

and I wonder if we can actually use the storage on the compute nodes rather than having dedicate storage.

Would it be possible?

Cheers

Hi Alfredo:

In latest master, the ceph is not mandatory , and stx is enabling others storages solution .

For example [1] , netapp can be used as k8s PV and storage backend

Rook [2] is integrating into starlingx too , which can support K8S and Openstack .

User/customer can integrated other storage type as k8s application .

By this, you don’t need dedicate storage nodes.

Hope this can help you .
