how to access a ceph pool from none ceph node

[Ting]

Hi,

I have a 7 nodes pve-cluster on a 1g network with following setup:

1. 7 nodes pve-cluster on a 1g cluster network.
2. node #1 and #2 are older machine, does not have ceph installed
3. node #3-#7 are newer, and have ceph installed, ceph is on a 10g network.
4. I created a pool (I called it "ssd-vm" on ceph, so node #3-#7 have access to this pool

but, my question is how my node #1 and #2 can access this pool "ssd-vm"? it shows up in GUI menu, but I can not use it. I know if I install ceph on node #1-#2, then I can use it, but my issue is node #1-#2 does NOT have 10g network.

any thoughts? many thanks in advance.

Hi,

what does it say when you are trying to use the pool on node #1 & #2? Are all nodes on the same version?

on node #1 and #2, this "ssd-vm" drive show gray color, and when I click on it, it show not available. Here is little more detail about my networks:

1. all 7 nodes are on a 1g network for proxmox admin, and all on a separate 1 g network for pve cluster.
2. node #3-#7 are on a 10g network for ceph, and this 10g network for both ceph public and private.
3. this "ssd-vm" is a RBD drive pool created on ceph.
