Mastering Proxmox - Third Edition

Preparing a Proxmox node for Ceph

Since we are installing Ceph on the same Proxmox node, we will set up the network interfaces for a separate network for Ceph traffic only. We will set up three of our example Proxmox nodes—pmx-01, pmx-02, and pmx-03—with Ceph. On all of the three nodes, we will add the following interfaces section to /etc/network/interfaces. You can use any IP address that suits your network environment. We are going to run the following command from the Proxmox node pmx-01:

# nano /etc/network/interfaces

Configure all network interfaces according to IP addresses based on your environment. The following is the content of the network configuration for our example cluster after Proxmox and the Ceph network have been configured: ...
