When will PetaSAN move to CEPH Mimic or Nautilus?

Hi admin, how are you?

Do you know when PetaSAN will start to use the newer CEPH versions like Mimic or Nautilus? Are you planning some new release with that?

 

Yes we are working on an interim release 2.3.1 : it will have some minor features but mostly is for Mimic support  13.2.5/6 + Ubuntu 18.04 + Consul.  We expect this in approx 6 weeks. Note most supported Ceph vendors such as Red Hat are still using Luminous, it is sometimes better to not be bleeding edge and opt for more mature.

Version 2.4 will include backup (local/sftp/cloud/Amazon), it is a lot of work so it was better to have the Mimic upgrade earlier in 2.3.1

Awesome man! You guys are doing a really good job with PetaSAN. Even the communication with your users is fast and friendly, as always.

Thanks for you answer.

Will the 2.3 be upgradable to 2.3.1 even changing the base OS from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04? What about the custom Suse kernel with patches that you are using? Will keep the same one or are you planning also to upgrade it to 4.19 series?

Yes the upgrade process will take care of everything. As always we use Ubuntu for user space but rely on SUSE kernels.

Got it. Ok, I'm anxious for this great update.

Great work, great job. Thanks for turn it available for all of us for free.
