OSDs communicate with monitors via the public network. Monitors and metadata servers operate exclusively on the public network. The only case where they'd need to be able to route to each other is if you have some OSDs with only one NIC that can only operate on the public network. I believe there is a note about it in the documentation. Generally, it's a good idea to keep them separate if you can since monitors and metadata servers don't use the cluster network. > _______________________________________________ > ceph-users mailing list > ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com -- John Wilkins Senior Technical Writer Intank john.wilkins@xxxxxxxxxxx (415) 425-9599 _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
