Using Ceph with VME

dya — Sun, 16 Mar 2025 03:47:44 GMT

I want to try configuring HCI without using shared storage.

I think Ceph is supported, but I don't know how to do it.

Do I have to use commands to build a Ceph cluster on the host that will be part of the VME cluster, create an RBD, etc., just like when it's not related to VME?

I would like to know how to configure HCI using Ceph.

*Sorry if this is hard to understand, as it is machine translated.

Hello
Doc. https://hpevm-docs.morpheusdata.com/en/latest/infrastructure/clusters/mvm.html?highlight=raid
says
Do not raid disks on physical servers. Currently, only one data disk may be used, which is given in the DATA DEVICE configuration during cluster setup. In the very near future, an update will be provided to allow multiple data disks to be used. These will be added to the total Ceph storage in one large volume. Until that update, only one data disk may be given in the configuration.

Best Regards

It seems there are still limitations to using Ceph.
I'll wait.

Thank you.

HI,

I am using an HCI cluster of 3 servers and have configured Ceph when deploying the cluster. How can I extend Ceph by adding additional disks?
