Scenario #2 – multitier storage cluster using Proxmox cluster

The following are the key requirements for this scenario:

Separate storage clusters for SSD, hybrid HDD, and HDD
Storage clusters should be on separate subnets
Storage should be distributed with High Availability and high scalability

For this scenario, each Proxmox node must have at least four network interface cards: three to connect three storage cluster subnets, and one to connect to Proxmox virtual environment. This example is for six virtual machines to have access to three different performing storages. The following table shows three Ceph clusters and their performance categories:

Subnet	Description
192.168.10.0:6789	This is for Ceph cluster #1 with SSDs for all OSDs. This subnet is connected with Proxmox nodes through eth1. This storage is used by VM6.
192.168.20.0:6790	This is for Ceph cluster #2 with hybrid HDDs for all OSDs. This subnet is connected with Proxmox nodes through eth2. This storage is used by VM5.
