Hi, I have 3 PowerEdge R730 XL, 4 PowerEdge R740 XL and a PowerEdge R740XD (block storage) that I would like to use to setup a Proxmox cluster.
I am investigating the possibility of setting up the 7 server within the same cluster (even though the hardware specs differ between models) and use the storage node as single Ceph storage node.
I know that having one single storage node is not ideal, but this is not really meant for a mission critical environment, so having redundancy between OSDs with the same storage node should be sufficient.
Fact is that I can't find any reference to this kind of setup, all I find is Proxmox + Ceph integrations within the same hardware nodes and not towards an external Ceph node.
I would assume it is feasible, but I would appreciate a lot some guidance on how to achieve this from someone that has more hands-on experience on this kind of architecture.
Thank you very much!
