Hey there, I am new to harvester and try to setup a single node. As I can see in the docs it is somewhat supported but the documentation is quite short. I found the option

install.harvester.storage_class.replica_count

for the installer, but no option to allow replicas to be scheduled on the same node. Ideally I have 2 replicas so if one disk fails I don't have to restore from my backups. Has somebody here experience with single node operation? Thanks for your help Regards Philipp

Longhorn, Harverster’s storage layer, is designed to replicate across different nodes. I don’t think you can use different disks on the same node. In the event of a disk failure on the node, do you have a boot, and 2 data drives?

I have one boot drive and 4 data drives

Did you add the disks once harvester is up and running?

The installer prompts to add a data drive the other drives i added later

that looks good. You can check longhorn to see.

it says 7 replicas

ya.. not sure how to tell longhorn to use multiple disks on the node.

still thanks so far 🙂

A nice little hidden feature.
