[PVE-User] Multi Proxmox Cluster with common Ceph cluster

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

>>will wait jewel, it leaves me time to negociate a third DC ;-)

Note, that with jewell, you don't need a third DC.

you can build 2 ceph cluster, 1 on each dc,  then do async mirror between them.
(each ceph cluster is the backup of the other one)





>>Will it be possible to manage a multi dc's ceph cluster with Proxmox ?

Yes it's possible, if you have multicast (laybe2) working between them.

Simply do 1 ceph cluster/ 1 proxmox cluster.
But you need 3 DC to be sure to always have quorum (for proxmox and ceph monitor)

Thank you very much Alexandre. 

I will wait jewel, it leaves me time to negociate a third DC ;-) 

Will it be possible to manage a multi dc's ceph cluster with Proxmox ?

Hi, 

you can have 1 ceph cluster, with 2 pools, 1 pool for each proxmox cluster. 


But with only 2 DC, It's not possible to always have quorum if you loose 1 DC. 

(you need quorum for ceph monitors). 

So, for real multi datacenter ceph cluster, you need 3dc, with 1 mon on each DC . 

Also note that ceph replication is syncronous, so you need to have good latencies between your DC. 



Next ceph release (jewel), will have rbd mirroring (asyncronous mirroring of pool or rbd volume), to remote ceph 
cluster, for disaster recovery.

Hello, 

Is it posssible to create a multi Proxmox cluster with 1 Ceph cluster ? 

Explanation : 

2 Datacenter 

D1 : 192.168.0.0/24 
D2 : 192.168.1.0/24 

1 D1 Proxmox cluster 
1 D2 Proxmox cluster 

1 common Ceph cluster ( with a little crushmap to replicate D1 to D2 and D2 to D1) in the 2 Proxmox cluster 


Thanks
