The current plan to integrate ceph is via cinderlib integration[1] (currently in tech preview mode) because we still have no packaging ready, there are some manual installation steps required, but there is no need to install and configure openstack/cinder
1. Does this require you to install OpenStack, or will a vanilla Ceph installation work? a vanilla installation will work with cinderlib
2. Is it possible to deploy Ceph on the same nodes that run oVirt? (i.e. is a 3-node oVirt + Ceph cluster possible?) I haven't tried it, but should be possible
3. Is there any monitoring/management of Ceph from within oVirt? (Guessing no?) No, cinderlib is storage agnostic
4. Are all the normal VM features working yet, or is this planned? Most features (starting/stopping/snapshots/live migration) are working, but not all are fully tested (specifically snapshots)
5. Is making Ceph a first-class citizen (like Gluster) on oVirt on the roadmap? Not at the moment, maybe once cinderlib integration matures and we have more feedback and users for the feature

Hi,
I currently have a 3-node HA cluster running Proxmox (with integrated Ceph). oVirt looks pretty neat, however, and I'm excited to check it out.
One of the things I love about Proxmox is the integrated Ceph support.
I saw on the mailing lists that there is some talk of Ceph support earlier, but it was via OpenStack/Cinder. What exactly does this mean?
