You don't need to virtualize anything — I'd recommend running Ubuntu 12.04 on it (you don't need to, but a lot of things will be more performant), building from source, and then setting up the daemons so everybody gets a separate disk. Check out http://ceph.com/docs/master/source/ and the other docs and let us know if you have any questions. :) On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 10:47 AM, Terrance Hutchinson <terrance.hutchinson@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have an HP ProLiant ML350 G5 server that is currently sitting idle > at the moment.
