I recently built a 3 node Proxmox cluster for my office. I'd like to get HA setup, and the Proxmox book recommends Ceph. I've been reading the documentation and watching videos, and I think I have a grasp on the basics, but I don't need anywhere near a petabyte of storage.
I'm considering servers w/ 12 drive bays, 2 SDD mirrored for the OS, 2 SDDs for journals and the other 8 for OSDs. I was going to purchase 3 identical servers, and use my 3 Proxmox servers as the monitors, with of course GB networking in between. Obviously this is very vague, but I'm just getting started on the research. My concern is that I won't have enough physical disks, and therefore I'll end up with performance issues. I've seen many petabyte+ builds discussed, but not much on the smaller side. Does anyone have any guides or reference material I may have missed? Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend.
