ceph-disk -- Ceph disk preparation and activation utility for OSD
===================================================================
.. program:: ceph-disk
Synopsis
========
| **ceph-disk** **prepare** [--cluster *clustername*] [--cluster-uuid *uuid*]
[--fs-type *xfs|ext4|btrfs*] [*data-path*] [*journal-path*]
| **ceph-disk** **activate** [*data-path*] [--activate-key *path*]
Description
===========
**ceph-disk** is a utility that can prepare and activate a disk, partition or
directory as a ceph OSD. It is run directly or triggered by **ceph-deploy**
or udev.
It actually automates the multiple steps involved in manual creation and start
of an OSD into 2 steps of preparing and activating the OSD by using the
subcommands **prepare** and **activate**.
Subcommands
============
**prepare**: Prepare a directory, disk or drive for a ceph OSD. It creates a GPT
partition, marks the partition with ceph type uuid, creates a file system, marks
the file system as ready for ceph consumption, uses entire partition and adds a
new partition to the journal disk. It is run directly or triggered by
**ceph-deploy**.
Usage: ceph-disk prepare --cluster [cluster-name] --cluster-uuid [uuid] --fs-type
[ext4|xfs|btrfs] [data-path] [journal-path]
**activate**: Activate the ceph OSD. It mounts the volume in a temporary location,
allocates an OSD id (if needed), remounts in the correct location /var/lib/ceph/
osd/$cluster-$id and starts ceph-osd. It is triggered by udev when it sees the OSD
GPT partition type or on ceph service start with 'ceph disk activate-all'. It is
also run directly or triggered by **ceph-deploy**.
Usage: ceph-disk activate [data-path]
An additional option [--activate-key PATH] has to be used with this subcommand
when a copy of /var/lib/ceph/bootstrap-osd/{cluster}.keyring isn't present in the
OSD node.
Usage: ceph-disk activate [data-path] [--activate-key PATH]
**activate-journal**: Activate an OSD via it's journal device. udev triggers
'ceph-disk activate-journal <dev>' based on the partition type.
Usage: ceph-disk activate-journal [DEV]
Here, [DEV] is the path to journal block device.
Others options can also be used with this subcommand like --activate-key and
--mark-init.
Usage: ceph-disk activate-journal [--activate-key PATH] [--mark-init INITSYSTEM]
[DEV]
**activate-all**: Activate all tagged OSD partitions. activate-all relies on
/dev/disk/by-parttype-uuid/$typeuuid.$uuid to find all partitions. Special udev
rules is installed to create these links. It is triggered on ceph service start
up or run directly.
Usage: ceph-disk activate-all
**list**: List disk partitions and ceph OSDs. It is run directly or triggered
by **ceph-deploy**.
Usage: ceph-disk list
**suppress-activate**: Suppress activate on a device (prefix).
Usage: ceph-disk suppress-activate [PATH]
Here, [PATH] is path to block device or directory.
**unsuppress-activate**: Stop suppressing activate on a device (prefix).
Usage: ceph-disk unsuppress-activate [PATH]
Here, [PATH] is path to block device or directory.
**zap**: Zap/erase/destroy a device's partition table and contents. It is
also run directly or triggered by **ceph-deploy**.
Usage: ceph-disk zap [DEV]
Here, [DEV] is path to block device.
Options
=======
.. option:: --prepend-to-path PATH
Prepend PATH to $PATH for backward compatibility (default /usr/bin)
.. option:: --statedir PATH
Directory in which ceph configuration is preserved (default /usr/lib/ceph)
.. option:: --sysconfdir PATH
Directory in which ceph configuration files are found (default /etc/ceph)
.. option:: --cluster
Provide name of the ceph cluster in which the OSD is being prepared.
.. option:: --cluster-uuid
Provide uuid of the ceph cluster in which the OSD is being prepared.
.. option:: --fs-type
Provide the filesytem type for the OSD. e.g. 'xfs/ext4/btrfs'.
.. option:: --activate-key
Use when a copy of /var/lib/ceph/bootstrap-osd/{cluster}.keyring isn't
present in the OSD node. Suffix the option by the path to the keyring.
.. option:: --mark-init
Provide init system to manage the OSD directory.
Availability
============
**ceph-disk** is a part of the Ceph distributed storage system. Please refer to
