<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">
<div class="PlainText">Never deployed these before, well slight lie did deploy a GUI server
<br>
back in the 3.x days but it didn't do anything useful. I am now looking <br>
to deploy a pair of GUI servers for the ReST API support so we can run <br>
Kubernetes workloads.<br>
<br>
The CPU and RAM requirements seem to be quite low. I have a some old <br>
spare servers that can be pressed into service for now that more than <br>
meet the these requirements with 8 cores and 144GB of RAM.<br>
<br>
However it just vaguely says "local PV for DB". At the moment the two <br>
servers have a RAID6 array of 300GB 10k disks giving ~1TB of usable.<br>
<br>
Is that sufficient space and will it be performant enough? Should I look <br>
to swap them for a RAID 1 of SSD's and what sort of capacity is needed <br>
for this local DB?<br>
