[PVE-User] PRoxmox and ceph with just 3 server.

[Ronny Aasen]

if HA is important, you should consider having a 4th ceph osd server 
(does not have to also be proxmox)

with ceph's default of 3 replicas, that you will want to use in  a 
production setup, you do not have any failure domain.
IOW the loss of any one node = a degraded ceph cluster.  if you have an 
additional node, ceph will rebalance and return to HEALTH_OK on the 
failure of a node.

with vm's iops are important so you must keep latency to a minimum.

both of these are explained a bit more in detail in the link he posted.


kind regards
Ronny Aasen
