Ceph Deployment
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
The ``ceph-deploy`` tool is a way to deploy Ceph relying only upon SSH access to
|
|
the servers, ``sudo``, and some Python. It runs on your workstation, and does
|
|
not require servers, databases, or anything any other tools. If you set up and
|
|
tear down Ceph clusters a lot, and want minimal extra bureaucracy,
|
|
``ceph-deploy`` is an ideal tool. The ``ceph-deploy`` tool is not a generic
|
|
deployment system. It was designed exclusivly for Ceph users who want to get
|
|
Ceph up and running quickly with sensible initial configuration settings without
|
|
the overhead of installing Chef, Puppet or Juju. Users who want fine-control
|
|
over security settings, partitions or directory locations should use a tool
|
|
such as Juju, Puppet, `Chef`_ or Crowbar.

|
|
With ``ceph-deploy``, you can install Ceph packages on remote hosts, create a
|
|
cluster, add monitors, gather (or forget) keys, add metadata servers and OSDs,
|
|
configure admin hosts, and tear down the clusters. With a single tool, you can
|
|
develop scripts to create, deploy and tear down clusters quickly and easily.

|
The ``mkcephfs`` utility generates an ``fsid`` and keys for your cluster, as
|
|
defined by the Ceph configuration file. It does not create directories for you
|
|
and relies on use of the ``root`` password. As of Ceph v0.60, it is deprecated
|
|
in favor of ``ceph-deploy``.
