Preparation
-----------
-#. Get the ``cephadm`` command line tool on each host in the existing
- cluster. See :ref:`get-cephadm`.
+#. Make sure that the ``cephadm`` command line tool is available on each host
+ in the existing cluster. See :ref:`get-cephadm` to learn how.
-#. Prepare each host for use by ``cephadm``:
+#. Prepare each host for use by ``cephadm`` by running this command:
.. prompt:: bash #
cephadm prepare-host
-#. Determine which Ceph version you will use. You can use any Octopus (15.2.z)
- release or later. For example, ``docker.io/ceph/ceph:v15.2.0``. The default
- will be the latest stable release, but if you are upgrading from an earlier
- release at the same time be sure to refer to the upgrade notes for any
- special steps to take while upgrading.
+#. Choose a version of Ceph to use for the conversion. This procedure will work
+ with any release of Ceph that is Octopus (15.2.z) or later, inclusive. The
+ latest stable release of Ceph is the default. You might be upgrading from an
+ earlier Ceph release at the same time that you're performing this
+ conversion; if you are upgrading from an earlier release, make sure to
+ follow any upgrade-releated instructions for that release.
- The image is passed to cephadm with:
+ Pass the image to cephadm with the following command:
.. prompt:: bash #
cephadm --image $IMAGE <rest of command goes here>
-#. Cephadm can provide a list of all Ceph daemons on the current host:
+ The conversion begins.
+
+#. Confirm that the conversion is underway by running ``cephadm ls`` and
+ making sure that the style of the daemons is changed:
.. prompt:: bash #
cephadm ls
- Before starting, you should see that all existing daemons have a
- style of ``legacy`` in the resulting output. As the adoption
- process progresses, adopted daemons will appear as style
- ``cephadm:v1``.
+ Before starting the converstion process, ``cephadm ls`` shows all existing
+ daemons to have a style of ``legacy``. As the adoption process progresses,
+ adopted daemons will appear with a style of ``cephadm:v1``.
