<p>Hmm. That is an odd one from a quick thought...</p>
<p>However, IF you are planning on growing and adding OSSes/OSTs, this is not a bad way to get started and used to how everything works. It is basically a single stripe storage.</p>
<p>If you are not planning on growing, I would lean towards gluster on 2 boxes. I do that often, actually. A single MDS/OSS has zero redundancy, unless something is being done at harware level and that would help in availability.<br>
NFS is quite viable too, but you would be splitting the available storage on 2 boxes.</p>

<div>We are in process in procuring one small Lustre filesystem giving us 120 TB of storage using Lustre 2.X.</div>
<div>The vendor has proposed only 1 MDS and 1 OSS as a solution.</div>
<div>The query we have is that is this configuration enough , or we need more OSS?</div>
<div>The MDS and OSS server are identical with regards to RAM (64 GB) and HDD (300GB)</div>
