Ceph iSCSI gateway

[stevehughes]

Hi,

Newbie here.

Worse ... a Windows newbie lol.

I've run up a three-node PVE cluster with Ceph, and so far all good.

One thing I'd love is to be able to present Ceph storage to my existing vSphere infrastructure as iSCSI. It appears that the HA iSCSI gateway is included in Ceph as per this article: https://docs.ceph.com/docs/mimic/rbd/iscsi-overview/, but this refers to RHEL, not Debian.

My understanding (from one who knows *nix far better than I) is that the Ceph iSCSI gateway isn't included in the PVE distribution, and isn't officially released for Debian Buster either. But apparently it is included in Debian Sid for testing and apparently has also been back-ported to Buster.

Could this be made to work in PVE?

Thanks,
Steve

Hi,

Proxmox VE is no Storage distribution.
So if you like to do this you can install the iSCSI gateway in a Container or VM on the Proxmox VE nodes.
There you can install any OS you like.
