The admin node could be a Ceph monitor, so with 2 servers you can have
something like :

- node1 : MON + 6 OSD
- node2 : 6 OSD

Ceph monitors number need to be an odd number in order to satisfy the
quorum needs, thus if you don't want to have a SPOF with only one mon
(although its fine for testing purpose), you should add a third server
(could be less powerfull if it only act as a mon). As of my
comprehension, the best way to start a Ceph cluster is to have at least
3 nodes.

Cheers
