Install 3 nodes. Each node specs:
Since our host acts as a router we have to make sure it’s kernel has all IP packet forwarding features activated. Take a look at ‘/etc/sysctl.conf’ and make sure that the following two lines aren’t commented out:
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
Lastly make sure your host won’t send ICPM “redirect” messages to guests, telling them to find the gateway by themselves. This won’t work with our particular network setup. Add the following to ‘/etc/sysctl.conf’:
net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects=0
Reboot
Networking for nodes Incomplete – this is not currently working):
Set up 3 NIC’s
ens192 – primary for Public IP. This is the public IP for the installation.
ens224 – proxmox VE Cluster Network
ens256 – Ceph Install
Once installed, edit /etc/network/interfaces on all 3 nodes. Change the IP addresses accordingly. Remeber to backup the files before editing.
Example /etc/network/interfaces for px1 node 1.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto ens192
iface ens192 inet static
address 216.55.xxx.xxx
netmask 255.255.255.0

Setting up the cluster
Hosts file edits. Backup hosts file and change to this on all nodes. This is not the hostname but an identifier.
# corosync network hosts 10.0.0.151 one-corosync.geekdecoder.com one-corosync 10.0.0.152 two-corosync.geekdecoder.com two-corosync 10.0.0.153 three-corosync.geekdecoder.com three-corosync
Adding Nodes With Separated Cluster Network
When adding a node to a cluster with a separated cluster network you need to use the ringX_addr parameters to set the nodes address on those networks:
pvecm add IP-ADDRESS-CLUSTER -ring0_addr IP-ADDRESS-RING0
If you want to use the Redundant Ring Protocol you will also want to pass the ring1_addr parameter.
Creating the cluster after network and host file setup. Log into node 1.
node1# pvecm create clustername -bindnet0_addr 10.0.0.151 -ring0_addr one-corosync
Output
Corosync Cluster Engine Authentication key generator. Gathering 1024 bits for key from /dev/urandom. Writing corosync key to /etc/corosync/authkey. Writing corosync config to /etc/pve/corosync.conf Restart corosync and cluster filesystem
Reboot
# reboot
Adding nodes.
From man corosync.conf
ringnumber – This specifies the ring number for the interface. When using the redundant ring protocol, each interface should specify separate ring numbers to uniquely identify to the membership protocol which interface to use for which redundant ring. The ringnumber must start at 0.
Adding nodes. Login to a node you want to add, node2, node3, node4, etc. In this example, login to node 2 (10.0.0.152)and the IP for node1 is 10.0.0.151.
Run the following where”
node2# pvecm add 10.0.0.151 -ring0_addr 10.0.0.152

Create initial Ceph configuration
node1# pveceph init --network 10.10.10.0/24
After that you can create the first Ceph monitor service using:
node1# pveceph createmon
Go to video or site to create other items.
Keyring
cd /etc/pve/priv mkdir ceph root@px1:/etc/pve/priv# cp /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring ceph/ceph-vm.keyring root@px1:/etc/pve/priv# cp /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring ceph/ceph-lxc.keyring
Now visable.

Add virtualization
Login to ESXi ssh.
go to your node vm directory with the .vmx file. In this case
/vmfs/volumes/5a70c7aa-560fd204-49b1-6805ca0a3085/px3
Add the following to the bottom of the file
# vhv.enable = "TRUE"
Restart the VM.
Log into the node 1 and run the following
#egrep -c '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo 1
1= ok
0 = no change
