Description Avi Liani 2020-03-30 07:24:03 UTC
Description of problem (please be detailed as possible and provide log
snippests):

while installing with i3en.2xlarge instances, default installation is with 3 OSD's (one on each node) while the nodes have 2 NVMe devices, which is waist o storage that already paid.

Comment 2 Raz Tamir 2020-03-30 07:40:03 UTC
Hi Avi,

Is that a documentation gap?
I know we can use the 2 devices in deployment so where the gap is?

Comment 3 Avi Liani 2020-03-30 07:44:52 UTC
Hi Raz, 
It is a documentation gap, since the doc instruction is for using only one device.

Comment 4 Raz Tamir 2020-03-30 07:55:50 UTC
Thanks,

Moving accordingly

Comment 5 Eran Tamir 2020-03-30 16:39:58 UTC
@orit, can you please provide here the required information to doc team and QE? (here and in the Jira document - https://issues.redhat.com/browse/KNIP-1233)

Comment 6 Orit Wasserman 2020-03-31 15:48:02 UTC
In Section 1.2.4 "Creating OpenShift Container Storage cluster on Amazon EC2" the instructions and the examples are for a single OSD deployment.
we should change them to two OSDs for each i3en.2xl node.
The local-storage-block.yaml should have 6 devices listed and the outputs of the get pods, get pv should be updated.
In ocs-cluster-service.yaml you need to update the storageDeviceSets count to 2
We need to add a paragraph explaining that has the instance has two disk (that is included in it's cost) we are using both.

Hi,

Overall looks good. There are 2 changes need to be made:

1) In chapter 1.2.4. (Creating OpenShift Container Storage cluster on Amazon EC2), the instance type should be mentioned explicitly. 
So please change:
"1.2.4. Creating OpenShift Container Storage cluster on Amazon EC2"
To:
"1.2.4. Creating OpenShift Container Storage cluster on Amazon EC2 Storage Optimized - i3.2xlarge instance type"

2) I think the part of using 2 devices in each node is not highlighted enough. 
Please highlight it as explained by Orit in comment #6:

Suggestions from comment #10 have been added:

1.2.4. Creating OpenShift Container Storage cluster on Amazon EC2 storage optimized - i3en.2xlarge instance type

And

"The Amazon EC2 storage optimized - i3.2xlarge instance type includes two non-volatile memory express (NVMe) disks. The example in this procedure illustrates the use of both the disks that the instance type comes with."
