PLEASE NOTE, CLIENTS IN ONE SITE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO > COMMUNICATE TO OSDs/CLIENTS ON OTHER SITES. This won't work. The clients need to communicate with the primary OSD for the pg not just any OSD so will need access to all OSDs. A configuration like this is a stretched cluster and the links between the DCs will kill performance once you load them up or once recovery is occurring. Do the links between your Dcs meet the stated requirements here? http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/start/hardware-recommendations/#networks > > Hoping that my requirement is clear.

What is your requirement, it's not clearly stated.
