This is not the ideal Ceph hardware. Ceph is designed to use disks
directly -- JBODs. All redundancy is handled at the RADOS level, so
you can happily save lots of cash on your servers. I suggest reading
through the various Ceph hardware recommendations that you can find
via Google.

I can't tell from here if this is the root cause of your performance
issue -- but you should plan future clusters to use JBODs instead of
expensive arrays.

You should have one ceph-osd process per disk (or per LUN in your
case). The clients connect to the ceph-osd processes directly.
