Hi Steven,

You mentioned that machines see a QEMU IDE/SCSI disk, they don't know

But what if I want to CEPH cluster to serve a whole range of clients
in the data center, ranging from ESXi, Microsoft Hypervisors, Solaris
(unvirtualized), AIX (unvirtualized) etc ...
Sorry, my mistake, I thought the message was on Proxmox VE list. :-)
In particular, I'm being asked to create a NAS and iSCSI Block storage
farm with an ability to serve not just Linux but a range of operating
system(s), some virtualized, some not . ...
I love the distributive nature of CEPH but using Proxy nodes (or
heads) sort of goes against the distributive concept...
For virtualized VMs, using a virtualization platform that supports
Ceph/RBD will make the trick.
I'm afraid you'll need proxy nodes for the rest, as pointed by Nick with
his setup for VMware.
Cheers
Eneko
