There are no limits on number of disks shared across these servers. If you need a multiple tenant setup, you can easily spin multiple Minio instances managed by orchestration tools like Kubernetes. +As with Minio in stand-alone mode, distributed Minio has a per tenant limit of minimum 2 and maximum 32 servers. There are no limits on number of disks shared across these servers. If you need a multiple tenant setup, you can easily spin up multiple Minio instances managed by orchestration tools like Kubernetes. Note that with distributed Minio you can play around with the number of nodes and drives as long as the limits are adhered to. For example, you can have 2 nodes with 4 drives each, 4 nodes with 4 drives each, 8 nodes with 2 drives each, 32 servers with 24 drives each and so on. @@ -57,7 +57,7 @@ Example 1: Start distributed Minio instance on 8 nodes with 1 disk each mounted ```sh export MINIO_ACCESS_KEY= export MINIO_SECRET_KEY= -minio server http://192.168.1.1{1...18}/export1 +minio server http://192.168.1.1{1...8}/export1 ``` #### Windows (experimental) @@ -65,7 +65,7 @@ minio server http://192.168.1.1{1...18}/export1 ```cmd set MINIO_ACCESS_KEY= set MINIO_SECRET_KEY= -minio.exe server http://192.168.1.1{1...18}/C:/data +minio.exe server http://192.168.1.1{1...8}/C:/data ``` @@ -76,7 +76,7 @@ Example 2: Start distributed Minio instance on 4 nodes with 4 disks (pictured be ```sh export MINIO_ACCESS_KEY= export MINIO_SECRET_KEY= -minio server http://192.168.1.1{1...14}/export{1...4} +minio server http://192.168.1.1{1...4}/export{1...4} ``` #### Windows (experimental)
