The procedures on this page cover deploying MinIO in a Multi-Node Multi-Drive (MNMD) or "Distributed" configuration.
|
|
|MNMD| deployments provide enterprise-grade performance, availability, and scalability and are the recommended topology for all production workloads.
|
|
|
|
|MNMD| deployments support :ref:`erasure coding <minio-ec-parity>` configurations which tolerate the loss of up to half the nodes or drives in the deployment while continuing to serve read operations.
|
|
Use the MinIO `Erasure Code Calculator <https://min.io/product/erasure-code-calculator?ref=docs>`__ when planning and designing your MinIO deployment to explore the effect of erasure code settings on your intended topology.

Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Networking and Firewalls
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Each node should have full bidirectional network access to every other node in
|
|
the deployment. For containerized or orchestrated infrastructures, this may
|
|
require specific configuration of networking and routing components such as
|
|
ingress or load balancers. Certain operating systems may also require setting
|
|
firewall rules. For example, the following command explicitly opens the default
|
|
MinIO server API port ``9000`` for servers running firewalld :
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
:class: copyable
|
|
|
|
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=9000/tcp
|
|
firewall-cmd --reload
|
|
|
|
All MinIO servers in the deployment *must* use the same listen port.
|
|
|
|
If you set a static :ref:`MinIO Console <minio-console>` port (e.g. ``:9001``)
|
|
you must *also* grant access to that port to ensure connectivity from external
|
|
clients.
|
|
|
|
MinIO **strongly recomends** using a load balancer to manage connectivity to the
|
|
cluster. The Load Balancer should use a "Least Connections" algorithm for
|
|
routing requests to the MinIO deployment, since any MinIO node in the deployment
|
|
can receive, route, or process client requests.
|
|
|
|
The following load balancers are known to work well with MinIO:
|
|
|
|
- `NGINX <https://www.nginx.com/products/nginx/load-balancing/>`__
|
|
- `HAProxy <https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/2.3/intro.html#3.3.5>`__
|
|
|
|
Configuring firewalls or load balancers to support MinIO is out of scope for
|
|
this procedure.
|
|
The :ref:`integrations-nginx-proxy` reference provides a baseline configuration for using NGINX as a reverse proxy with basic load balancing configured.
|
|
|
|
Sequential Hostnames
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
MinIO *requires* using expansion notation ``{x...y}`` to denote a sequential series of MinIO hosts when creating a server pool.
|
|
MinIO supports using either a sequential series of hostnames *or* IP addresses to represent each :mc:`minio server` process in the deployment.
|
|
|
|
This procedure assumes use of sequential hostnames due to the lower overhead of management, especially in larger distributed clusters.
|
|
|
|
Create the necessary DNS hostname mappings *prior* to starting this procedure.
|
|
For example, the following hostnames would support a 4-node distributed deployment:
|
|
|
|
- ``minio-01.example.com``
|
|
- ``minio-02.example.com``
|
|
- ``minio-03.example.com``
|
|
- ``minio-04.example.com``
|
|
|
|
You can specify the entire range of hostnames using the expansion notation ``minio-0{1...4}.example.com``.
|
|
|
|
.. dropdown:: Non-Sequential Hostnames or IP Addresses
|
|
|
|
MinIO does not support non-sequential hostnames or IP addresses for distributed deployments.
|
|
You can instead use ``/etc/hosts`` on each node to set a simple DNS scheme that supports expansion notation.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
# /etc/hosts
|
|
|
|
198.0.2.10 minio-01.example.net
|
|
198.51.100.3 minio-02.example.net
|
|
198.0.2.43 minio-03.example.net
|
|
198.51.100.12 minio-04.example.net
|
|
|
|
The above hosts configuration supports expansion notation of ``minio-0{1...4}.example.net``, mapping the sequential hostnames to the desired IP addresses.

|
Memory Requirements
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: RELEASE.2024-01-28T22-35-53Z
|
|
|
|
MinIO pre-allocates 2GiB of system memory at startup.
|
|
|
|
MinIO recommends a *minimum* of 32GiB of memory per host.
|
|
See :ref:`minio-hardware-checklist-memory` for more guidance on memory allocation in MinIO.
|
|
|
|
Time Synchronization
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Multi-node systems must maintain synchronized time and date to maintain stable internode operations and interactions.
|
|
Make sure all nodes sync to the same time server regularly.
|
|
Operating systems vary for methods used to synchronize time and date, such as with ``ntp``, ``timedatectl``, or ``timesyncd``.
|
|
|
|
Check the documentation for your operating system for how to set up and maintain accurate and identical system clock times across nodes.
|
|
|
|
Considerations
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Erasure Coding Parity
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
MinIO :ref:`erasure coding <minio-erasure-coding>` is a data redundancy and availability feature that allows MinIO deployments to automatically reconstruct objects on-the-fly despite the loss of multiple drives or nodes in the cluster.
|
|
|
|
MinIO defaults to ``EC:4``, or 4 parity blocks per :ref:`erasure set <minio-ec-erasure-set>`.
|
|
You can set a custom parity level by setting the appropriate :ref:`MinIO Storage Class environment variable <minio-server-envvar-storage-class>`.
|
|
Consider using the MinIO `Erasure Code Calculator <https://min.io/product/erasure-code-calculator>`__ for guidance in selecting the appropriate erasure code parity level for your cluster.
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
|
|
While you can change erasure parity settings at any time, objects written with a given parity do **not** update to the new parity settings.
|
|
MinIO only applies the changed parity to newly written objects.
|
|
Existing objects retain the parity value in place at the time of their creation.
|
|
|
|
Capacity-Based Planning
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
MinIO recommends planning storage capacity sufficient to store **at least** 2 years of data before reaching 70% usage.
|
|
Performing :ref:`server pool expansion <expand-minio-distributed>` more frequently or on a "just-in-time" basis generally indicates an architecture or planning issue.
|
|
|
|
For example, consider an application suite expected to produce at least 100 TiB of data per year and a 3 year target before expansion.
|
|
By ensuring the deployment has ~500TiB of usable storage up front, the cluster can safely meet the 70% threshold with additional buffer for growth in data storage output per year.
|
|
|
|
Since MinIO :ref:`erasure coding <minio-erasure-coding>` requires some storage for parity, the total **raw** storage must exceed the planned **usable** capacity.
|
|
Consider using the MinIO `Erasure Code Calculator <https://min.io/product/erasure-code-calculator>`__ for guidance in planning capacity around specific erasure code settings.
|
|
|
|
Recommended Operating Systems
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. cond:: linux
|
|
|
|
This tutorial assumes all hosts running MinIO use a
|
|
:ref:`recommended Linux operating system <minio-installation-platform-support>`
|
|
such as RHEL8+ or Ubuntu 18.04+.
|
|
|
|
.. cond:: macos
|
|
|
|
This tutorial assumes all hosts running MinIO use a non-EOL macOS version (10.14+).
|
|
|
|
.. cond:: Windows
|
|
|
|
This tutorial assumes all hosts running MinIO use a non-EOL Windows distribution.
|
|
|
|
Support for running distributed MinIO deployments on Windows is *experimental*.
|
|
|
|
Pre-Existing Data
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
When starting a new MinIO server in a distributed environment, the storage devices must not have existing data.
|
|
|
|
Once you start the MinIO server, all interactions with the data must be done through the S3 API.
|
|
Use the :ref:`MinIO Client <minio-client>`, the :ref:`MinIO Console <minio-console>`, or one of the MinIO :ref:`Software Development Kits <minio-drivers>` to work with the buckets and objects.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
Modifying files on the backend drives can result in data corruption or data loss.

Deploy Distributed MinIO
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
The following procedure creates a new distributed MinIO deployment consisting
|
|
of a single :ref:`Server Pool <minio-intro-server-pool>`.
|
|
|
|
All commands provided below use example values. Replace these values with
|
|
those appropriate for your deployment.
|
|
|
|
Review the :ref:`deploy-minio-distributed-prereqs` before starting this
|
|
procedure.
|
|
|
|
1) Install the MinIO Binary on Each Node
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. cond:: linux
|
|
|
|
.. include:: /includes/linux/common-installation.rst
|
|
:start-after: start-install-minio-binary-desc
|
|
:end-before: end-install-minio-binary-desc
|
|
|
|
.. cond:: macos
|
|
|
|
.. include:: /includes/macos/common-installation.rst
|
|
:start-after: start-install-minio-binary-desc
|
|
:end-before: end-install-minio-binary-desc
|
|
|
|
2) Create the ``systemd`` Service File
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. include:: /includes/linux/common-installation.rst
|
|
:start-after: start-install-minio-systemd-desc
|
|
:end-before: end-install-minio-systemd-desc
|
|
|
|
3) Create the Service Environment File
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Create an environment file at ``/etc/default/minio``. The MinIO
|
|
service uses this file as the source of all
|
|
:ref:`environment variables <minio-server-environment-variables>` used by
|
|
MinIO *and* the ``minio.service`` file.
|
|
|
|
The following examples assumes that:
|
|
|
|
- The deployment has a single server pool consisting of four MinIO server hosts
|
|
with sequential hostnames.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
minio1.example.com minio3.example.com
|
|
minio2.example.com minio4.example.com
|
|
|
|
- All hosts have four locally-attached drives with sequential mount-points:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
/mnt/disk1/minio /mnt/disk3/minio
|
|
/mnt/disk2/minio /mnt/disk4/minio
|
|
|
|
- The deployment has a load balancer running at ``https://minio.example.net``
|
|
that manages connections across all four MinIO hosts.
|
|
|
|
Modify the example to reflect your deployment topology:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
:class: copyable
|
|
|
|
# Set the hosts and volumes MinIO uses at startup
|
|
# The command uses MinIO expansion notation {x...y} to denote a
|
|
# sequential series.
|
|
#
|
|
# The following example covers four MinIO hosts
|
|
# with 4 drives each at the specified hostname and drive locations.
|
|
# The command includes the port that each MinIO server listens on
|
|
# (default 9000)
|
|
|
|
MINIO_VOLUMES="https://minio{1...4}.example.net:9000/mnt/disk{1...4}/minio"
|
|
|
|
# Set all MinIO server options
|
|
#
|
|
# The following explicitly sets the MinIO Console listen address to
|
|
# port 9001 on all network interfaces. The default behavior is dynamic
|
|
# port selection.
|
|
|
|
MINIO_OPTS="--console-address :9001"
|
|
|
|
# Set the root username. This user has unrestricted permissions to
|
|
# perform S3 and administrative API operations on any resource in the
|
|
# deployment.
|
|
#
|
|
# Defer to your organizations requirements for superadmin user name.
|
|
|
|
MINIO_ROOT_USER=minioadmin
|
|
|
|
# Set the root password
|
|
#
|
|
# Use a long, random, unique string that meets your organizations
|
|
# requirements for passwords.
|
|
|
|
MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=minio-secret-key-CHANGE-ME
|
|
|
|
You may specify other :ref:`environment variables
|
|
<minio-server-environment-variables>` or server commandline options as required
|
|
by your deployment. All MinIO nodes in the deployment should include the same
|
|
environment variables with the same values for each variable.
|
|
|
|
4) Add TLS/SSL Certificates
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. include:: /includes/common-installation.rst
|
|
:start-after: start-install-minio-tls-desc
|
|
:end-before: end-install-minio-tls-desc
|
|
|
|
5) Run the MinIO Server Process
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Issue the following commands on each node in the deployment to start the
|
|
MinIO service:
|
|
|
|
.. include:: /includes/linux/common-installation.rst
|
|
:start-after: start-install-minio-start-service-desc
|
|
:end-before: end-install-minio-start-service-desc
|
|
|
|
6) Open the MinIO Console
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. include:: /includes/common-installation.rst
|
|
:start-after: start-install-minio-console-desc
|
|
:end-before: end-install-minio-console-desc
|
|
|
|
7) Next Steps
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
- Create an :ref:`alias <minio-mc-alias>` for accessing the deployment using
|
|
:mc:`mc`.
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`Create users and policies to control access to the deployment
|
|
<minio-authentication-and-identity-management>`.
|
