Ceph and using it for disk images

[damo2929]

Hi Guys

I have built a ceph cluster using the instruction and it's created a storage entry that's not usable for disk images and disk images doesn't appear on the menu in the GUI, how can I enable the cluster for disk of the VM's ?

What did you create exactly? After you installed Ceph on the nodes, you set up more Monitor and Managers? Then created OSDs and then at least one pool?

For that pool, you should have an entry in the Proxmox VE storage config (Datacenter -> Storage). There the content types should be disk images and containers.

Do not mix CephFS with RBD (rados block device) pools which are used to store guest disk images

HI have created as follows via the gui wizard and steps in https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Deploy_Hyper-Converged_Ceph_Cluster

Yeah, the CephFS is not intended to be used to store guest disk images.
There is the "pool" pool. Was the "Add Storage" checkbox not active when it was created? Try to create a new storage of the type "RBD" under Datacenter -> Storage and select the pool "pool".
