8.8. Ceph Client

Following the setup from the previous sections, you can configure Proxmox VE to use such pools to store VM and Container images. Simply use the GUI to add a new RBD storage (see section Ceph RADOS Block Devices (RBD) Section 7.15, “Ceph RADOS Block Devices (RBD)”).

You also need to copy the keyring to a predefined location for an external Ceph cluster. If Ceph is installed on the Proxmox nodes itself, then this will be done automatically.

Note

The filename needs to be <storage_id> + `.keyring, where <storage_id> is the expression after rbd: in /etc/pve/storage.cfg. In the following example, my-ceph-storage is the <storage_id>:

mkdir /etc/pve/priv/ceph
cp /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring /etc/pve/priv/ceph/my-ceph-storage.keyring
