[ovirt-users] Ovirt & Ceph

[Alessandro De Salvo]

Hi Rajat,
sorry but I do not really have a clear picture of your actual setup, can you please explain a bit more?
In particular:

1) what to you mean by using 4TB for ovirt? In which machines and how do you make it available to ovirt?

2) how do you plan to use ceph with ovirt?

I guess we can give more help if you clarify those points.
Thanks,

   Alessandro

Using docker is in fact the easiest solution, it really requires 10 minutes to make a cluster up. I've tried it both with jewel (official containers) and kraken (custom containers), and it works pretty well.
>> The real problem is not creating and configuring a ceph cluster, but using it from ovirt, as it requires cinder, i.e. a minimal setup of openstack. We have it and it's working pretty well, but it requires some work. For your reference we have cinder running on an ovirt VM using gluster.

For ovirt hyp we are using only one 500GB of one HDD rest we have kept for ceph, so we have 3 node as guest running on ovirt and for ceph. My question you all is what I am doing is right or wrong.
