How to deploy /dev/sdb ,/dev/sdc only use /dev/nvme0n1 as db device ?

Description of Issue/Question

How to deploy /dev/sdb ,/dev/sdc only use /dev/nvme0n1 as db device ? or I just want to use a single NVME device as the db device

In addition, drive groups always look for system disks /dev/sda. Can you design to ignore a particular disk?

@akumacxd You might try the limit key like you did in the last example.

drive_group_hdd_nvme:
  target: 'I@roles:storage'
  data_devices:
    rotational: 1
  db_devices:
    rotational: 0
    limit: 1
block_db_size: '2G'

But like ceph-volume complains, please remove any GTP headers from the disks.

ceph-volume lvm batch: error: GPT headers found, they must be removed on: /dev/sda

Those probably need to be removed form sda/b and all the nvme devices.

[akumacxd]

At present, all my nodes have three NVME devices, the same model and size. I want to specify nvme0n1 as db device, nvme0n2 as RGW index, and the last nvme0n3 as LVM Cache. How to configure drive group?

[akumacxd]

The following way to create OSD manually step by step to create, drive group through this way to create OSD ?
