.. _ceph-volume:
ceph-volume
===========
Deploy OSDs with different device technologies like lvm or physical disks using
pluggable tools (:doc:`lvm/index` itself is treated like a plugin) and trying to
follow a predictable, and robust way of preparing, activating, and starting OSDs.
:ref:`Overview <ceph-volume-overview>` |
:ref:`Plugin Guide <ceph-volume-plugins>` |
**Command Line Subcommands**
There is currently support for ``lvm``, and plain disks (with GPT partitions)
that may have been deployed with ``ceph-disk``.
* :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm`
* :ref:`ceph-volume-simple`
Migrating
---------
Starting on Ceph version 12.2.2, ``ceph-disk`` is deprecated. Deprecation
warnings will show up that will link to this page. It is strongly suggested
that users start consuming ``ceph-volume``.
New deployments
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For new deployments, :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm` is recommended, it can use any
logical volume as input for data OSDs, or it can setup a minimal/naive logical
volume from a device.
Existing OSDs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If the cluster has OSDs that were provisioned with ``ceph-disk``, then
``ceph-volume`` can take over the management of these with
:ref:`ceph-volume-simple`. A scan is done on the data device or OSD directory,
and ``ceph-disk`` is fully disabled.
Encrypted OSDs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If using encryption with OSDs, there is currently no support in ``ceph-volume``
for this scenario (although support for this is coming soon). In this case, it
is OK to continue to use ``ceph-disk`` until ``ceph-volume`` fully supports it.
This page will be updated when that happens.
