Proxmox Virtual Environment

K-Space Hyper Converged CEPH setup

Configure a mesh network

ansible-playbook proxmox/ceph.yaml

This will configure the 40Gbit interfaces and FRR daemon with OpenFabric routing. Our CEPH setup uses a private IPv6 subnet for inner cluster communication.

fdcc:a182:4fed::/64

You can check Mesh network status by launching FRR shell vtysh and then typing show openfabric topology

root@pve91:~# vtysh
pve91# show openfabric topology
IS-IS paths to level-2 routers that speak IPv6

Setup CEPH packages on all nodes

pveceph install --repository no-subscription --version squid

CEPH init

pveceph init --network fdcc:a182:4fed::/64

Create CEPH monitors on each node
```
pveceph mon create
```
Also create CEPH managers on each node
```
pveceph mgr create
```

Create OSD daemons for each disk on all nodes

NVMe drives will get 2 OSD daemons per disk for better IOPS

pveceph osd create /dev/nvme0n1 --crush-device-class nvme --osds-per-device 2

HDD-s will get just 1

pveceph osd create /dev/sdX --crush-device-class hdd

Create CRUSH Maps

We want to separate out HDD and NVMe storage into different storage buckets.

Default replicated_rule would put datablock on all of the available disks
```
# ceph osd crush rule create-replicated <rule-name> <root> <failure-domain> <class>
ceph osd crush rule create-replicated replicated_nvme default host nvme
ceph osd crush rule create-replicated replicated_hdd default host hdd
```
NB: Using default replicated_rule for ANY CEPH Pool will result in Placement Group (PG) Autoscaler not working as it cant properly calculate how much space is available in CEPH due to different device classes we are using
Create CEPH Pools for VM disk images

This is done in individual node Ceph -> Pools configuration

NB: Under advanced, select correct Crush Rule (nvme or hdd)
Create CephFS Storage pool for ISO images

First create metadata server on each node
```
pveceph mds create
```
Then on one of the individual nodes create a CephFS.

After that is done you can modify under Pools change the cephfs_data and cephfs_metadata Crush rules to use NVMe drives.
