I think the subject says it all. I'm looking for a guide that shows a step by step on how to create an NVMEoF pool with a Ceph cluster managed by Proxmox VE.

I tried following the guide at:

https://docs.ceph.com

But I didn't get far because it says right in the requirements that the Ceph cluster must be provisioned with cephadm. Being the adventurous type, I tried following along anyway. I got as far as:

* ceph osd pool create nvmeof-pool
* rbd pool init nvmeof-pool
* ceph orch apply nvmeof nvmeof-pool --placement="node-02,node-05,node-07"

which of course fails because a Proxmox Ceph cluster doesn't have (and can't use) Ceph Orchestrator

Has anyone been able to enable this functionality? Would you mind sharing which guide you followed?

Thanks!
 
Well, I guess if there's no documentation on how to enable NVMEoF, I'll have to rebuild my Ceph cluster and deploy with cephadm instead.

I was REALLY trying to avoid doing that, since having a Proxmox deployed Ceph is way more convenient.

I was hoping that someone had figured this out or stumbled across it, or someone from Proxmox staff would comment. No such luck I guess.
