Hi Jay,
The way I would doit until Ceph supports HA iSCSI (see blueprint) would be to configure a Ceph cluster as normal and then create RBD’s for your block storage. I would then map these RBD’s on some “proxy” servers, these would be running in an HA cluster with resource agents for RBD’s and LIO (or whatever your favoured iSCSI Target). This will give you a HA iSCSI target backed by Ceph which you can then mount on your HyperV servers. I’m not sure if HyperV Vm’s can run over samba, but that could be another option, although I have a sneaky suspicion it has to be SMB version 3. I am doing something very similar for VMware servers over the next couple of months, once complete I will hopefully write up some sort of guide, but for now if you have any questions I will do my best to answer them.

I want to present Ceph storage as storage backend for Hyper V guests. Is anyone running a setup similar to that? Is there any documentation, best practices guide that anyone can point me to? Appreciate any help! Thanks, -Jay
