I am interested in this.

We are currently using a TrueNAS VM on our Proxmox cluster that is exporting 
its vDisk via iSCSI, which is less than ideal, after find extremely poor 
performance with the iSCSI in Ceph Currently just using that iSCSI solution for 
a backup repository for Veeam, but we would like to use iSCSI with our Ceph 
cluster to move some of our VMs on VMware (that we haven't been able to migrate 
to the Proxmox cluster yet) to it so we can clear off one or two of our 
traditional SANs and connect them to our Proxmox cluster as additional storage 
in addition to our Ceph cluster.

Is your Ceph cluster on bare metal or deployed using cephadm?  Is there a 
document or guide you followed to install PeteSAN with using an external Ceph 
cluster?  All I can seem to find at the moment are for deploying PetaSAN using 
its own Ceph implementation.
