I have setup a 'reef' Ceph Cluster using Cephadm and Ansible in a VMware ESXi 7 / Ubuntu 22.04 lab environment per the how-to guide provided here: https://computingforgeeks.com/install-ceph-storage-cluster-on-ubuntu-linux-s.... The installation steps were fairly easy and I was able to get the environment up and running in about 15 minutes under VMware ESXi 7. I have buckets and pools already setup. However, the ceph.io site is confusing on how to setup the Rados Gateway (radosgw) with Multi-site -- https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/radosgw/multisite/. Is a copy of HAProxy also needed for handling the front-end load balancing or is it implied that Ceph sets it up? Command-line scripting I was planning on using for setting up the RGW: ``` radosgw-admin realm create --rgw-realm=sandbox --default radosgw-admin zonegroup create --rgw-zonegroup=sandbox --master --default radosgw-admin zone create --rgw-zonegroup=sandbox --rgw-zone=sandbox --master --default radosgw-admin period update --rgw-realm=sandbox --commit ceph orch apply rgw sandbox --realm=sandbox --zone=sandbox --placement="2 ceph-mon1 ceph-mon2" --port=8000 ``` What other steps are needed to get the RGW up and running so that it can be presented to something like Veeam for doing performance and I/O testing concepts? -- Michael This message and its attachments are from Data Dimensions and are intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
