Hi,
Thanks, your answer about pacemaker raised another question, VM (instances) high availability is managed by peacemaker in TripleO, could this be a problem when using HCI deployment?
Yes, it's not a recommended combination for the same reasons. John

Hi,
Is it technically possible to install openstack tripleO on 3 nodes, such that all 3 nodes play the roles of controller compute and ceph storage (hci) at the same time, with replication and HA and all?
It's technically possible for a POC (just compose a role [1] accordingly) but it's not a recommended configuration because the controllers use pacemaker with power fencing which you don't want running on your OSD hosts. E.g. pacemaker could take out 1/3rd of your OSDs and make the cluster backfill. If you're short on nodes then one option is to use four. One as a basic KVM hypervisor to host VMs including a virtual undercloud and three virtual controllers. Then use three physical HCI nodes which host the VMs and OSDs.
