The process is similar to :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-create`, and will do the
preparation and activation at once, following the same workflow for each OSD.
+However, If the ``--prepare`` flag is passed then only the prepare step is taken
+and the OSDs are not activated.
All the features that ``ceph-volume lvm create`` supports, like ``dmcrypt``,
avoiding ``systemd`` units from starting, defining bluestore or filestore,
supported, for example: specifying where journals should be placed.
