Deploying with ``mkcephfs``
=============================
+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
::
- ssh myserver01 sudo tee /etc/ceph/ceph.conf <mycluster.conf
- ssh myserver02 sudo tee /etc/ceph/ceph.conf <mycluster.conf
- ssh myserver03 sudo tee /etc/ceph/ceph.conf <mycluster.conf
+ cd /etc/ceph
+ ssh myserver01 sudo tee /etc/ceph/ceph.conf <ceph.conf
+ ssh myserver02 sudo tee /etc/ceph/ceph.conf <ceph.conf
+ ssh myserver03 sudo tee /etc/ceph/ceph.conf <ceph.conf
Create the Default Directories
On ``myserver01``::
- sudo mkdir srv/osd.0
- sudo mkdir srv/mon.a
+ sudo mkdir /srv/osd.0
+ sudo mkdir /srv/mon.a
On ``myserver02``::
- sudo mkdir srv/osd.1
- sudo mkdir srv/mon.b
+ sudo mkdir /srv/osd.1
+ sudo mkdir /srv/mon.b
On ``myserver03``::
- sudo mkdir srv/osd.2
- sudo mkdir srv/mon.c
- sudo mkdir srv/mds.a
+ sudo mkdir /srv/osd.2
+ sudo mkdir /srv/mon.c
+ sudo mkdir /srv/mds.a
Run ``mkcephfs``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 `Start | Stop the Cluster`_ for details.
