=============================
Deploying with ``mkcephfs``
=============================
To deploy a test or development cluster, you can use the ``mkcephfs`` tool.
We do not recommend using this tool for production environments.
Enable Login to Cluster Hosts as ``root``
=========================================
To deploy with ``mkcephfs``, you will need to be able to login as ``root``
on each host without a password. For each host, perform the following::
sudo passwd root
Enter a password for the root user.
On the admin host, generate an ``ssh`` key without specifying a passphrase
and use the default locations. ::
ssh-keygen
Generating public/private key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/ceph-admin/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /ceph-admin/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /ceph-admin/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
You may use RSA or DSA keys. Once you generate your keys, copy them to each
OSD host. For example::
ssh-copy-id root@myserver01
ssh-copy-id root@myserver02
Modify your ``~/.ssh/config`` file to login as ``root``, as follows::
Host myserver01
Hostname myserver01.fully-qualified-domain.com
User root
Host myserver02
Hostname myserver02.fully-qualified-domain.com
User root
Copy Configuration File to All Hosts
====================================
Ceph's ``mkcephfs`` deployment script does not copy the configuration file you
created from the Administration host to the OSD Cluster hosts. Copy the
configuration file you created (*i.e.,* ``mycluster.conf`` in the example below)
from the Administration host to ``etc/ceph/ceph.conf`` on each OSD Cluster host
if you are using ``mkcephfs`` to deploy Ceph.
::
ssh myserver01 sudo tee /etc/ceph/ceph.conf < /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
ssh myserver02 sudo tee /etc/ceph/ceph.conf < /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
ssh myserver03 sudo tee /etc/ceph/ceph.conf < /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
Create the Default Directories
==============================
The ``mkcephfs`` deployment script does not create the default server
directories. Create server directories for each instance of a Ceph daemon (if
you haven't done so already). The ``host`` variables in the ``ceph.conf`` file
determine which host runs each instance of a Ceph daemon. Using the exemplary
``ceph.conf`` file, you would perform the following:
On ``myserver01``::
sudo mkdir /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0
sudo mkdir /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-a
On ``myserver02``::
sudo mkdir /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-1
sudo mkdir /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-b
On ``myserver03``::
sudo mkdir /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-2
sudo mkdir /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-c
sudo mkdir /var/lib/ceph/mds/ceph-a
Mount Disks to the Data Directories
===================================
If you are running multiple OSDs per host and one hard disk per OSD, you should
mount the disk under the OSD data directory (if you haven't done so already).
Run ``mkcephfs``
================
Once you have copied your Ceph Configuration to the OSD Cluster hosts
and created the default directories, you may deploy Ceph with the
``mkcephfs`` script.
.. note:: ``mkcephfs`` is a quick bootstrapping tool. It does not handle more
complex operations, such as upgrades.
For production environments, deploy Ceph using Chef cookbooks. To run
``mkcephfs``, execute the following::
cd /etc/ceph
sudo mkcephfs -a -c /etc/ceph/ceph.conf -k ceph.keyring
The script adds an admin key to the ``ceph.keyring``, which is analogous to a
root password. See `Authentication`_ when running with ``cephx`` enabled.
When you start or stop your cluster, you will not have to use ``sudo`` or
provide passwords. For example::
service ceph -a start
See `Operating a Cluster`_ for details.
