How to install SUSE Enterprise Storage Base - Priority Subscription
Setting up SUSE Enterprise Storage Base on your 4 OSD node cluster begins with careful planning and provisioning. Start by confirming hardware readiness and network prerequisites for a four-node Ceph deployment, with 1-2 sockets per node as per the license. Obtain electronic license activation keys as part of electronic delivery. Once licensing is in place, you will proceed with preparing each node, configuring the network fabric for Ceph, and provisioning storage devices across the four OSDs. Follow the on-premises deployment guidelines to align the cluster with your Linux-based SUSE environment, apply necessary updates, and initialize the Ceph monitor and object storage services. After the cluster initializes, enable multi-protocol access, configure data replication policies, and verify operational health. Regularly monitor the deployment to ensure performance targets are met and that updates and security patches are applied promptly, maintaining resilience and data integrity across all OSD nodes.
Operational readiness also entails establishing administrative roles, setting up backup and recovery procedures, and integrating monitoring and alerting to detect and respond to hardware or software issues quickly. As with any enterprise storage solution, plan capacity growth in advance and design your expansion path to scale capacity and throughput without service disruption. With SUSE Enterprise Storage Base, you gain a robust, scalable storage platform that stays current through continuous updates and priority support, helping you meet service-level objectives and protect critical data over the 5-year license term.
