Advice regard using Ceph or GlusterFS

[Gilberto Ferreira]

Hello guys
I deployed 2 proxmox + 1 IBM Storwize Storage with iSCSI and I need some advice in use Ceph or GlusterFS on this system, in order to make Cluster and HA!
What's more reliable and easier to make work and maintain: Ceph or GlusterFS?
Thank you.

Hi,
ceph or glusterfs are not related to proxmox cluster and HA ....

(and you have an iscsi shared storage, so why do you need ceph or glusterfs?)

Well... I intend to not use LUN directly, in order to have Snapshot over web interface...
So, I think I can use the disk mapped from Storage, over iSCSI protocol, to create a GlusterFS or Ceph System...

Why not simply use NFS and Qcow2 (snapshot and clone supported out of the box)?

Storwize does active-active cluster internally so no need for a cluster solution like Ceph.

+1 for nfs.
Keep it simple.

you'll have problems with Ceph and Gluster on top of iscsi.

And what if I use indirectly LUNs and configure LVM with those LUNs? Is it give me Snapshot through web interface?
