QuTS MEGA 1.0.0 and later
Details
You need a minimum of 3 nodes to form a QuTS MEGA cluster. Additionally, there are minimum node role requirements:
- Management (at least 3 nodes)
This role handles cluster control, monitoring, and deployment of core services. - Gateway (at least 1 node)
This role manages client connection and host services such as NFS, SMB, and object storage. - Storage (at least 3 nodes)
This role is responsible for data storage and processing I/O operations across the cluster.
Note
A single node can be assigned multiple roles.
However, to enhance data protection capabilities, we recommend at least 6 nodes in a cluster. This allows for better distribution of data across nodes, improving fault tolerance and performance in production environments.
