Exporting RBD without iscsi

Is it possible to export the RBD over the same network where the iscsi has been configured and make a kernel mount. We are using a KVM hypervisor.
Host can directly talk over the backend network. But would want it to have on an isolated network for certain security reason.

Where should the changes be done to made it to achieve this ?
Looking forward to your response.
Thanks in advance.

sure Linux hosts can directly access rbd images.

Use the rbd map command

Can I change the public network, which has been configured to backend, to a different network which is using the iscsi itself ?

Is there any implication ?

 

mon_host = 10.150.2.152,10.150.2.150,10.150.2.151

public_network = 10.150.2.0/24  (also used to backend)

backend network is where ceph communicates: monitors, osds

To access rbd images directly from Linux client, client has to have access to this network. client needs direct access to mons and osds.
