identify a disk or zap it prior to preparing it for use as an OSD,
see `List Disks`_ and `Zap Disks`_. ::
- ceph-deploy osd prepare {node-name}:{disk}[:{path/to/journal}]
- ceph-deploy osd prepare osdserver1:sdb:/dev/ssd1

The ``prepare`` command only prepares the OSD. It does not activate it. To
activate a prepared OSD, use the ``activate`` command. See `Activate OSDs`_
a separate drive to maximize throughput. You may dedicate a single drive
for the journal too (which may be expensive) or place the journal on the
same disk as the OSD (not recommended as it impairs performance). In the
-foregoing example we store the journal on a partioned solid state drive.

.. note:: When running multiple Ceph OSD daemons on a single node, and
sharing a partioned journal with each OSD daemon, you should consider
Once you prepare an OSD you may activate it with the following command. ::
- ceph-deploy osd activate {node-name}:{path/to/disk}[:{path/to/journal}]
+ ceph-deploy osd activate {node-name}:{data-disk-partition}[:{journal-disk-partition}]
ceph-deploy osd activate osdserver1:/dev/sdb1:/dev/ssd1
+ ceph-deploy osd activate osdserver1:/dev/sdc1:/dev/ssd2
The ``activate`` command will cause your OSD to come ``up`` and be placed
``in`` the cluster. The ``activate`` command uses the path to the partition
