Add an external ceph pool with cephx

[amir.ibrm]

Hi,

I'm new to Proxmox, trying to use an external Ceph cluster for my Proxmox VM storage.

Here my storage.cfg regarding the storage :
rbd: ssd-pool-ext
content images
krbd 0
monhost 172.30.97.157 172.30.97.158 172.30.97.159
pool pool_ssd_test
username admin

I copied the client.admin keyring from my Ceph cluster to the Proxmox master node. I'm using cephx for authentication on the cluster so I put and rename the key here :

# ls /etc/pve/priv/ceph/
ssd-pool-ext.keyring

And when I'm in the Proxmox administration web page => Storage => ssd-pool-ext => Summary, everything looks fine. I get all the informations :
- Enable : Yes
- Active : Yes (sometimes says "no" but return to "yes" quickly)
- Graphs looks good.

But when I try to go to the "VM Disks" tab, "Loading..." stay a lot, and after that give me errors such as "Connection timed out (596)", "communication failure (0)", and few others.
Obviously, when I try to create a VM using this storage as hard drive, I get the same error : "error during cfs-locked 'storage-ssd-pool-ext' operation: rbd error: got lock timeout - aborting command"

Regards,
Amir

Edit : network issue between the two clusters... This problem is solved
