Shared storage iscsi

[Smn]

Hello,

We have clustered 7 Dell servers (Dell-R750) and we would like to see their storage as shared storage. I found out that this can be achieved using Ceph. We tried this and the problem is that we lose to much storage when using this approach.

I was thinking of trying (https://reintech.io/blog/setting-up-iscsi-target-debian-12) for each server? Does any1 has experience with this in production or is this a bad approach?

Each Server Storage (hardware raidcontroller):
2 x 1Tb (Raid 1) = Proxmox
12 x 8TB (Raid6) = Data


Thanks.

U can can create a ceph pool with only 2copies or u can create a ERASURE CODE ceph pool.

To clarify, you want to setup 7 individual iSCSI target? I cant think of any single benefit that could come out of this.

We thought of this approach to get the storage visible on datacenter level instead of node level. But this idea could be wrong ofc

U can can create a ceph pool with only 2copies or u can create a ERASURE CODE ceph pool.

Thank you. Thats an option we can try.
