================================
Deploying Ceph with ``mkcephfs``
================================
Once you have copied your Ceph Configuration to the OSD Cluster hosts, 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, you will deploy Ceph using Chef cookbooks (coming soon!).
To run ``mkcephfs``, execute the following::
$ mkcephfs -a -c <path>/ceph.conf -k mycluster.keyring
The script adds an admin key to the ``mycluster.keyring``, which is analogous to a root password. Ceph should begin operating.
You can check on the health of your Ceph cluster with the following::
ceph -k mycluster.keyring -c mycluster.conf health
