Re: Red Hat clients

If you were to run your Red Hat based client in a vm you could run run unmodified an unmodified kernel.  if you are using rhel 6.4 then you get the extra goodies in the virtio-scsi qemu driver.

Now that my ceph cluster seems to be happy and stable, I have been looking at different ways of using it.   Object, block and file.

 

Object is relatively easy and I will use different ones to test with Ceph.

 

When I look at block, I’m getting the impression from a lot of Googling that deploying clients on Red Hat to connect to a Ceph cluster can be complex.   As I understand it, the rbd module is not currently in the Red Hat kernel (and I am not allowed to make changes to our standard kernel as is suggested in places as a possible solution).  Does this mean I can’t connect a Red Hat machine to Ceph as a block client?
