Proxmox 8 Cluster with Ceph Storage configuration

Love your video.

However, I'm a bit disappointed in you.
You made your nested Proxmox on a VMware ESXi setup.
That should've been Proxmox :P

Good job nonetheless.

Great video and thoroughly detailed. My only advice for properly monitoring a "migrating VM" would be to send a ping to the 'Migrating VM' from a different machine/VM. When doing anything from the VM being migrated, the process will pause in order to be transferred over to the new host (thus not showing any dropped packets "from" the VM's point of view).
Keep up the good work!

Which is better, VMware or Proxmox? I have 3 nodes with 4 SSDs each, and all three have 10GB NICs. But for a high-performance high-availability environment, which is the better option, especially when it comes to VM performance with Windows? In your experience, is Proxmox with Ceph better, or VMware with vSAN?

what happen if pmox1(admin cluster) has crash and can't up again? and what if i re install pmox1?

Great tutorial ! I'm planning to buy some old thinclient (ryzen A10) to test this proxmox 8 ceph config !

One question. Do we need to have the same shared storage space accros all nodes for ceph to work properly ?

You have got a new subscriber. Awesome tutorial.

Thats funny. I have always heard, you couldn't do live migrations on a nested hypervisor setup.

I am planning on deploying multiple Dell R730XD in homelab environment. Was looking for a storage solution / NAS. Would you recommend using TrueNAS or CEPH? Can we create SMB / iSCSI shares on a CEPH cluster? How to add users / permissions?

Great Video sir, I appreciate the work you put in. It is well explained. Thank you.

I don't have storage in the osd step how do I create?

Advice: in production environments use 10Gbps links on all servers, or else a "bottleneck" is generated if the disks are running at 6Gbps speed

That's how a tutorial should be done! Thoroughly explained and step-by-step detailed!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!

Can't wait when proxmox dev team decided to deploy fault tolerance functionality into their product. It would be cool.

Nice presentation and explanation of some key core steps of the procedure. Yet you omit to mention that
-nodes should be the same from a h/w perspective, specially when VMs running are Win Servers since you could easily loose your License just by transferring it to a different node with different h/w specs
-even if someone, might get it from just pausing the video and noticing that the 3 storages are the same on all the 3 nodes, a mention of that wouldn't t hurt.
-finally a video like this, could be a nice start for several other ones, about maintaining and troubleshooting a cluster with ceph since usual stuff like a node went down for good or went down for a long time since parts need to be ordered in order to be fixed, (this will have as a result several syslog messages flood the user and you might want to show how to stop them or suppress them until the node gets fixed again)....etc

Please have a look at Wazuh - Het Open Source Security Platform met Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)

Wow, this is an excellent tutorial. Thanks!

nice tutorial. thanks. Is it possible to attach an external Ceph pool to Proxmox cluster?

Nice work, CEPH is really good, although I moved a VM from a different disk to the Pool and did not migrate seamless, never less I like the idea, can you make a video to show how to use CEPH in HA, Thank you

We definitely love the content, we appreciate your attention to detail!!!

The best tutorial for clustering, 😊thank you sir....We will try it on three server devices, to be applied to the Republic of Indonesia radio data center...

what happens if one of the server fails in the cluster ? The virtual machine keeps running on another server (fault tolerance) or there is failover ?

Great content, shoutoutz from Brazil...

Awesome! How about proxmox plus SAN storage?

good

So Ceph is "just" HA? Meaning, all nodes in the cluster basically see the same filesystem?

I’ve been planning to move from VMware & VSAN to “Pmox” :) & ceph for a while now. I just need the time to set everything up and test. I love that you virtualized this first! My used storage is about 90% testing vm’s like these. 🤷‍♂️

please make ceph cluster tutorial on non-proxmox distribution

Ceph is incredible nice distributed object storage solution which is open source. I need to check it out myself

Your videos are great help. PS. I THINK light mode for tutorials would be better seeing details.

Wonderful Video! Thanks for your time and detailed explanations. I just found your YT channel and I am loving it so far.

Very good tutorial.. But I have a question.. What kind of bandwidth you should have to use ceph.. I mean to ask is a gigabit is enough or one should use 10gig?

The best Proxmox & Ceph tutorial, thank you.

3. Can we upgrade the size of the Ceph disk, eg: from a 50GB to a 1TB, if the 50GB is about to get full?
3a. How does one know the free space on ech host if the HDD is in a Ceph pool?

2. why u did not show total storage of pool? can we add more storage later? how to set that up?

1. what about host with more than 1 hdd/ssd? what should they do in the OSD part?

Good video sir, i played with this with a few Lenovo Mini machines and loved it !!
