Good day all-

I have a standalone node that uses storage on an external proxmox/ceph cluster. it works just fine, but I am unable to run any rbd commands from the guest- I get the following error:

Code:
[root@dev1 pve]$ rbd -p rbd-dev ls
unable to get monitor info from DNS SRV with service name: ceph-mon
rbd: couldn't connect to the cluster!
rbd: listing images failed: (2) No such file or directory
2023-09-22T07:43:38.761-0700 7f48b5c66500 -1 failed for service _ceph-mon._tcp
2023-09-22T07:43:38.761-0700 7f48b5c66500 -1 monclient: get_monmap_and_config cannot identify monitors to contact

now obviously pveproxy is able to issue rbd command so I know I'm missing some context or switch, but I cant figure it out (or havent so far.) what am I missing?
