Hi Patrick, we are currently trying to get ceph running with it for a customer. ( Means our stuff = cephfs, customer stuff = vmware on ONE ceph cluster ). Unluckily iscsi sucks ( ohne OSD fails = iscsi lock -> need restart iscsi daemon on ceph servers ). NFS sucks ( no natural HA ) So if you can get it run with a vmware plugin ( just like for example ScaleIO ) there are some people out there who might want to marry you :-) ------ To your questions: 1) See below 2) 10 TB for vmware 3) 10 TB each year, impossible to give here clear numbers, since there is currently no clean way for vmware + ceph. If it would work ( reliable ), numbers would explode for sure. 4) native = perfect, iscsi = OK -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Best regards Oliver Dzombic IP-Interactive mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Anschrift: IP Interactive UG ( haftungsbeschraenkt ) Zum Sonnenberg 1-3 63571 Gelnhausen HRB 93402 beim Amtsgericht Hanau Geschäftsführung: Oliver Dzombic Steuer Nr.: 35 236 3622 1 UST ID: DE274086107 Am 05.10.2016 um 20:32 schrieb Patrick McGarry: > Hey guys, > > Starting to buckle down a bit in looking at how we can better set up > Ceph for VMWare integration, but I need a little info/help from you > folks. > > If you currently are using Ceph+VMWare, or are exploring the option, > I'd like some simple info from you: > > 1) Company > 2) Current deployment size > 3) Expected deployment growth > 4) Integration method (or desired method) ex: iscsi, native, etc > > Just casting the net so we know who is interested and might want to > help us shape and/or test things in the future if we can make it > better.
