We have 3 new HP Red Hat Servers we need to install with 13 already running. All of them have 8 drives and the new ones are 950G I believe. Any suggestions on the best configurations based on experience? I’m thinking for the overall hardware RAID, 4 drives backed up by the other 4. Now, for partitioning we have the following configuration on the other indexers;
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_splunkindexnn-lv_root
50G 2.0G 45G 5% /
tmpfs 16G 0 16G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 485M 62M 398M 14% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg_splunkindexnn-lv_home
468G 145G 300G 33% /home
/dev/mapper/vg_splunk_opt-splunk_opt
1.1T 758G 288G 73% /opt
/dev/mapper/vg_splunk_storage-splunk_storage
551G 218G 305G 42% /opt/storage
Comments?
I got with our Linux team and figured this one out.
