Thank you all My goal is to have an SSD based Ceph ( NVME + SSD) cluster so I need to consider performance as well as reliability ( although I do realize that a performant cluster that breaks my VMware is not ideal ;-)) It appears that NFS is the safe way to do it but will it be the bottleneck

Hi, we use PetaSAN for our VMWare-Cluster. It provides an webinterface for management and does clustered active-active ISCSI. For us the easy management was the point to choose this, so we need not to think about how to configure ISCSI... Regards, Dennis Am 28.05.2018 um 21:42 schrieb

We are using the iSCSI gateway in ceph-12.2 with vsphere-6.5 as the client. It's an active/passive setup, per. LUN. We choose this solution because that's what we could get RH support for and it sticks to the "no SPOF" philosophy. Performance is ~25-30% slower then krbd mounting the same rbd

Hi, I need to design and build a storage platform that will be "consumed" mainly by VMWare CEPH is my first choice As far as I can see, there are 3 ways CEPH storage can be made available to VMWare 1. iSCSI 2. NFS-Ganesha 3. mounted rbd to a lInux NFS server Any suggestions / advice as to

You might look into open vstorage as a gateway into ceph. On Mon, May 28, 2018, 2:42 PM Steven Vacaroaia wrote: > Hi, > > I need to design and build a storage platform that will be "consumed" > mainly by VMWare > > CEPH is my first choice > > As far as I can see, there are 3 ways CEPH storage
