Wow! Just a day before I was thinking that will be quite useful if you guys do a device that works like NVME storage cluster. Seems the fortune hears my thoughts, even not so clearly 🙂 but still in the right direction! Some implementations are still unclear but its a development! Imagine if we have a high power eficent Mikrotik 1U module with 8x4TB storage that can be used for NAS/SAN with 10G or 100G!
@@MathiasWesterlund without hickups and downtimes when one mlag node goes down? which rOS version? according to forum posts MLAG is utterly useless at the moment - could be, everyone misconfiguring it?
@drumaddict89 latest rOS7 works pretty well for us. The CRS5xx series is made for more mlag stability as it has full support for it in HW chip. Main thing is treating an mlag enabled switch pair as a raw L2 device and not mix in L3. We use CRS518 and 520 for L2 density at 25/100GbE with MLAG pairs and then route in CCR2116 and CCR2216 Making sure we DO NOT mix in L3 on any mlag device and instead redundant pathing is done by BGP/ospf for L3 devices.
The only thing now is to create physical network drives and device where you can put it in. Then make it dedicated for NAS, network drive, etc via SMB, NAT, etc. :D
Could it be a nfs replacement? My imagination is degradated and I can't see utilisation. Could you inspire?! This exclusive access hide me everything. But it is nice that the Mikrotik improves own products. 😊
I expect this usage, but if you have one nvme drive in your router you can run only one vm this way, I mean it is 1 to 1 connection not: one vm to part of space of this nvme, next vm to next part of the space of the same nvme, ...
As a System admin and with only MTCNA, it's hard for me to figure out what is the use case for this. Can anyone give me some more use cases that will be useful for me in my practice?
Reminds me of iscsi
but without portals, targets, funky id's

please make a video on MLAG basic setup, configuration and MLAG LACP and failover when one of the MLAG peers goes down!
good question, Interesed too
That would be a cool video to watch.
While we use mlag in prod and know how to do it now. I agree on this. Because the documentation is very unclear and first time was very messy.

I don’t get it. What’s is this for again?

You could use it for mounting disks to virtual machines or any of the other tasks you would normally use other block storage protocols like iSCSI.

store logs on remote proper storage device? Maybe storage for docker container (adguard or file/media share).
maybe tcpdump an interface :)
Until they release some kind of NAS hardware I really don’t know
UDP
That’s pretty Cool! Wut..Winbox is so ugly now :S
