All Ceph clusters require at least one monitor, and at least as many OSDs as
copies of an object stored on the cluster. Bootstrapping the initial monitor(s)
is the first step in deploying a Ceph Storage Cluster. Monitor deployment also
sets important criteria for the entire cluster, such as the default number of
object replicas in a pool, the number of placement groups per OSD, the heart
beat intervals, whether authentication is required, etc. Ceph sets most of these
values by default, but it's useful to know about frequently overridden settings
when setting up your cluster for production.

- **Unique Identifier:** The ``fsid`` is a unique identifier for the cluster,

principally for the Ceph Filesystem. Ceph now supports native interfaces,

of a misnomer.

without spaces. The the default cluster name is ``ceph``, but you may specify
a different cluster name. Overriding the default cluster name is
especially useful when you are working with multiple clusters and you need to
clearly understand which cluster your are working with. For example, when you
run multiple clusters on the same hardware, or if you are running Ceph in
federated architectures, the cluster name defines which cluster you are
using (e.g., ``us-west``, ``us-east``).
clearly understand which cluster your are working with.
For example, when you run multiple clusters in a `federated architecture`_,
the cluster name (e.g., ``us-west``, ``us-east``) identifies the cluster for
the current session. **Note:** To identify the cluster name on the command
line interface, specify the a Ceph configuration file with the cluster name
(e.g., ``ceph.conf``, ``us-west.conf``, ``us-east.conf``, etc.).
- **Monitor Name:** Each monitor instance within a cluster has a unique name.
In common practice, the Ceph Monitor name is the host name (we recommend one
Ceph Monitor per host, and no commingling of Ceph OSD Daemons with
Ceph Monitors).

generate a cluster map. The cluster map requires the ``fsid``, the cluster
