I have got 5 nodes with 2 physical NICs connected on each. I have assigned each node (management) a public IP address on my network (10.140.79.X) using the default Proxmox setup and created a Cluster.
I plan to create a second bridge for private network for VMs. I also want to install CEPH to use pooled storage (OSDs) for VMs (hyperconverged): https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Deploy_Hyper-Converged_Ceph_Cluster
-- My question is which networks should use each of the 2 physical NICs and how should I define the network settings? Can I put everything on one NIC?
Also I have read in the above link:
"Public Network: You should setup a dedicated network for Ceph, this setting is required. Separating your Ceph traffic is highly recommended, because it could lead to troubles with other latency dependent services, e.g., cluster communication may decrease Ceph’s performance, if not done. "
-- But how do I do this in practice? How should I assigne IP addresses to CEPH on each node?
-- Is it easy to change all the CEPH network configuration if I decide to change at a later date?
Thanks
