@Pete-S said in How Many HCI Nodes for the SMB: But if you run a generic benchmark that is not designed to give inflated numbers, the situation is different. I don't run generic benchmarks in production for a living thankfully The reality is most CPU intensive stuff takes advantage of at least some of the new offload extensions and libraries. Also memory throughput is often the limiting factor for databases and other intensive IO applications.

Can you reassign disks between VMs yet? The hot add disks was a huge pain before. I couldn't believe I wasn't able to do that.

@scottalanmiller said in New Infrastructure to Replace Scale Cluster: So if a VM dies, oVirt will provide non-FT failover, yes. And by having failover you might achieve HA. And oVirt is a critical part of making that possible. But it itself isn't HA, nor does it guarantee HA. It's just a failover component that you can use to "do" HA. It's a component you buy (well, this one is opensource, but still), part of a solution that would cover other potential failure points. The solution in general is also something you can buy, in order to achieve a certain level of HA for those VMs

Way to go guys!
