Hi Alan, We use containers deployed by the orchestrator and cephadm on a bare-metal nodes, but this is not important for PetaSAN since it doesn't manage our external cluster. I synthesized my notes here [1] this week. If you follow the guide, please share your experience and feel free to open an issue if you see any points that could be improved. Best regards, Frédéric.

Hi Frederic,
We've been successfully using PetaSAN [1] iSCSI gateways with an external Ceph cluster (not the one deployed by PetaSAN itself) on VMware hypervisors (135 VMs, 75TB) for a year and a half.
I am interested in this.
We are currently using a TrueNAS VM on our Proxmox cluster that is exporting its vDisk via iSCSI, which is less than ideal, after find extremely poor performance with the iSCSI in Ceph Currently just using that iSCSI solution for a backup repository for Veeam, but we would like to use iSCSI with our Ceph cluster to move some of our VMs on VMware (that we haven't been able to migrate to the Proxmox cluster yet) to it so we can clear off one or two of our traditional SANs and connect them to our Proxmox cluster as additional storage in addition to our Ceph cluster.
Is your Ceph cluster on bare metal or deployed using cephadm? Is there a document or guide you followed to install PeteSAN with using an external Ceph cluster? All I can seem to find at the moment are for deploying PetaSAN using its own Ceph implementation. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@ceph.io
