Hi, I have a 13-node PVE custer connected via FC to storage.
I'm going to add another 4 PVE nodes as Ceph cluster storage.
I would like to know whether it is better to have separate 4 node Cluster with Ceph connected to the existing cluster as separate storage,
or should I add those 4 nodes with Ceph to existing cluster to form bigger 18-node cluster.
I don't plan to use the Ceph nodes for running VM, but if the need ever arises in the future,
it would be nice to have the possibility to easily migrate VMs to those Ceph nodes.
Thank you beforehand for all your insight!
