A background. I currently have a one NAS/SAN that is running Omnios with Napp-It exporting storage on NFS and iSCSI to a 3 node VMware cluster. Something is up with the storage box and I have given up with trying to figure it out. It doesn't like to connect and I can't get above 1GB but it works great as a NAS so I'm not worrying about it and plan to move the VM storage to the hyper converged setup.
The current VMware setup is 3 Dell R410 with 6x 1GB NICs. I'm trying to bring down my yearly subscriptions in my lab and would like to move away from VMware to Proxmox. I have currently have 4x 1TB WD RE4 drives, 4x 300GB SAS drives, and a few random 500GB drives I'm sure I can fill the rest of the bays if I need to.
I'm trying to figure out how best or if it's possible to setup a Proxmox with Ceph cluster that I can get at least 1GB storage speed or preferably higher with this setup. I am willing to spend up to $150 per host in networking or SSDs if I need to to make this work well.
I'm not sure how best to setup the storage or the networking in this setup. I'm looking for your guys suggestions before I commit to switching and if I need to invest in addition equipment.
