Hi,

Novice question here:

The way I understand CEPH is that it distributes data in OSDs in a cluster. The 
reads and writes come across the ethernet as RBD requests and the actual data 
IO then also goes across the ethernet.

I have a CEPH environment being setup on a fiber channel disk array (via an 
openstack fuel deploy). The servers using the CEPH storage also have access to 
the same fiber channel disk array.

>From what I understand those servers would need to make the RDB requests and

Is there a way to access storage on a CEPH cluster when one has this "better" 
access to the disks in the cluster? (how about if it were to be only a single 
OSD with replication set to 1)

Sorry if this question is crazy...

thanks
