=============================
Before you can add a block device to a node, you must create an image for it in
-the :term:`Ceph Storage Cluster` first. To create a block device image, execute
-the following::
+the :term:`Ceph Storage Cluster`. To create a block device image, run a command of this form:
- rbd create --size {megabytes} {pool-name}/{image-name}
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd create --size {megabytes} {pool-name}/{image-name}
For example, to create a 1GB image named ``bar`` that stores information in a
-pool named ``swimmingpool``, execute the following::
+pool named ``swimmingpool``, run this command:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd create --size 1024 swimmingpool/bar
- rbd create --size 1024 swimmingpool/bar
+If you don't specify a pool when you create an image, then the image will be
+stored in the default pool ``rbd``. For example, if you ran this command, you
+wuold create a 1GB image named ``foo`` that is stored in the default pool
+``rbd``:
-If you don't specify pool when creating an image, it will be stored in the
-default pool ``rbd``. For example, to create a 1GB image named ``foo`` stored in
-the default pool ``rbd``, execute the following::
+.. prompt:: bash $
- rbd create --size 1024 foo
+ rbd create --size 1024 foo
-.. note:: You must create a pool first before you can specify it as a
- source. See `Storage Pools`_ for details.
