I started down that path and got so deep that I couldn't even find where I
went in. I couldn't make heads or tails out of what would or wouldn't work.
We didn't need multiple hosts accessing a single datastore, so on the
client side I just have a single VM guest running on each ESXi hosts, with

Thank you for the tips -- I certainly googled my eyes out for a good while
before asking -- maybe my google-fu wasn't too good last night.

Hi Daniel,
The flexibility of Ceph is that you can start with your current config,
scale out and upgrade (CPUs, journals etc...) as your performance
requirement increase.
6x1.7Ghz, are we speaking about the Xeon E5 2603L v4? Any chance to bump
that to 2620 v4 or 2630 v4?
Test how the 6x1.7Ghz

Hello,
lots of similar questions in the past, google is your friend.

I've built 'my-first-ceph-cluster' with two of the 4-node, 12 drive
Supermicro servers and dual 10Gb interfaces(one cluster, one public)
I now have 9x 36-drive supermicro StorageServers made available to me, each
with dual 10GB and a single Mellanox IB/40G nic. No 1G interfaces except
IPMI. 2x
