Whether you want to provide RESTful object services and/or block devices to a
|
|
cloud solution, deploy a CephFS filesystem or use Ceph for another purpose, all
|
|
Ceph clusters begin with setting up your host computers, network and the Ceph
|
|
Object Store. A Ceph object store cluster has three essential daemons:
|
|
|
|
.. ditaa:: +---------------+ +---------------+ +---------------+
|
|
| OSDs | | Monitor | | MDS |
|
|
+---------------+ +---------------+ +---------------+
|
|
|
|
- **OSDs**: Object Storage Daemons (OSDs) store data, handle data replication,
|
|
recovery, backfilling, rebalancing, and provide some monitoring information
|
|
to Ceph monitors by checking other OSDs for a heartbeat. A cluster requires
|
|
at least two OSDs to achieve an ``active + clean`` state.
|
|
|
|
- **Monitors**: Ceph monitors maintain maps of the cluster state, including
|
|
the monitor map, the OSD map, the Placement Group (PG) map, and the CRUSH
|
|
map. Ceph maintains a history (called an "epoch") of each state change in
|
|
the monitors, OSDs, and PGs.
|
|
|
|
- **MDSs**: Metadata Servers (MDSs) store metadata on behalf of the CephFS
|
|
filesystem (i.e., Ceph block devices and Ceph gateways do not use MDS).
|
|
Ceph MDS servers make it feasible for POSIX file system users to execute
|
|
basic commands like ``ls``, ``find``, etc. without placing an enormous
|
|
burden on the object store.

|
|
|
|
Client and server machines may require some basic configuration work prior to
|
|
deploying a Ceph cluster. You can also avail yourself of help from the Ceph
|
|
community by getting involved.

Once you've completed your preflight checklist, you should be able to begin
|
|
deploying a Ceph cluster.

</td><td><h3>Step 3: Ceph Client(s)</h3>
|
|
|
|
Most Ceph users don't store objects directly. They typically use at least one of
|
|
Ceph block devices, the CephFS filesystem, and the RESTful gateway.

For releases prior to Cuttlefish, see the `5-minute Quick Start`_ for deploying
|

with `mkcephfs`_. To transition a cluster deployed with ``mkcephfs`` for use
|

with ``ceph-deploy``, see `Transitioning to ceph-deploy`_.
