While it's certainly not ideal, of the available options I prefer cephfs. You get full functionality unlike going through cinder and I wouldn't trust the new iscsi gateway functionality for any kind of redundant gateway usage yet. Direct native rbd access would certainly be preferred but unfortunately I just don't see it coming. Once upon a time there was hope but then the cinder bandaid arrived and that pretty much killed it.

No,

The only way you have is to configure cinder to manage ceph pool or in alternative you have to deploy an iscsi gateway, no other ways are available at the moment.

So you can't use rbd directly.

    Thank you Luca,
    At the moment i would try the cinder storage provider, since we
    already have a proxmox cluster directly connecting to ceph. The
    problem is that I just could not find a straight way to do this.
    ie: Specify the ceph monitors and ceph pool to connect to. Can oVirt
    directly connect to ceph monitors ? How the configuration should be
    done if so ?
    Thank you very much !

        Hello,

        Yes, using cinder or through iscsi gateway.

        For a simpler setup i suggest the second option.

            Hello everyone,
            I am new to ovirt and very impressed of its features. I
            would like to levereage on our existing ceph cluster to
            provide rbd images for vm hdds, is this possible to achieve ?
            Thank you very much !
            Regards,
