There's been quite a few VMWare/Ceph threads on the mailing list in the past.
One setup I've been toying with is a linux guest running on the vmware host on local storage, with the guest mounting a ceph RBD with a filesystem on it, then exporting that via NFS to the VMWare host as a datastore. Exporting CephFS via NFS to Vmware is another option. I'm not sure how well shared storage will work with either of these configurations. but they work fairly well for single-host deployments. There are also quite a few products that do support iscsi on ceph. Suse Enterprise Storage is a commercial one, PetaSAN is an open-source option.
