I need some help to understand. I want to setup a test ceph server using the proxmox ve servers. I noticed that they want 3 nodes for a minimum test. I want to create a demo proxmox ve server and create 3 vm with proxmox ve on the demo server to have 3 ceph nodes. Is this possible? I know performance will be bad, it is just for testing. Thanks for any input on this. Robert

I have just finished ceph test installation.
With the wiki and the video, it's simple to configure.
My cluster :
3 Ceph / Proxmox nodes :
Prox 1 :
4 HD 1 To sata
1 ceph bond 4x 1Gb eth
Prox 2
4 Hd 1 To sata
1 ceph bond 4x 1Gb eth
Prox 3
3 Hd 1 To sata
1 ceph bond 4x 1Gb eth

You said this on thread start, while it seems you ended up with 4 physical servers.
maybe @rkennedy is asking because of this...
