I'm currently using VMWare with shared storage but am looking to using Proxmox with ceph. I want to utilize my existing hardware so can someone tell me if this is feasible please.
Initially I would be using the following:
2 x Dell R210 II with E3-1245v2, 32GB RAM and a three intel SSD 1 x 40Gb 2X160GB
2 x Homebuild with E3-1245v2 1x40GB Intel SSD and 8x1TB WD Blue
The homebuild servers have 4 gigabit network ports in them so I figure if I stick an extra dual port card in I can use the 4 gigabit ports for replication.
The two Dells have 10Gb netwok cards in plus 2 gigabit ethernet.
Thes are all plugged into a dell 5524 switch that has two 10Gb SPF+ ports
I'm hoping you will tell me that I can make a four node proxmox cluster with this. I will bond the 4 ports in each homebrew for ceph and use the 10GB in each dell
From the small amount of reading I have done I think that by editing the crushmap I can make the SSDs one bucket I think it is, and the HDDs another. Then make a pool for SSD storage and a pool for HDD storage.
Is this the case?
TIA
