Ensure Connectivity
===================
-Ensure that your Admin node has connectivity to the network and to your Server
+Ensure that your admin node has connectivity to the network and to your Server
node (e.g., ensure ``iptables``, ``ufw`` or other tools that may prevent
connections, traffic forwarding, etc. to allow what you need).
Once you have completed this pre-flight checklist, you are ready to begin using
``ceph-deploy``.
+
+Hostname Resolution
+===================
+
+Ensure that your admin node can resolve the server node's hostname. ::
+
+ ping {server-node}
+
+If you execute ``ceph-deploy`` against the localhost, ``ceph-deploy``
+must be able to resolve its IP address. Consider adding the IP address
+to your ``/etc/hosts`` file such that it resolves to the hostname. ::
+
+ hostname
+ host -4 {hostname}
+ sudo vim /etc/hosts
+
+ {ip-address} {hostname}
+
+ ceph-deploy {command} {hostname}
+
+.. tip:: The ``ceph-deploy`` tool will not resolve to ``localhost``. Use
+ the hostname.
+
Summary
=======
Once you have passwordless ``ssh`` connectivity, passwordless ``sudo``,
installed ``ceph-deploy``, and you have ensured appropriate connectivity,
-proceed to the `Object Store Quick Start`_.
+proceed to the `Storage Cluster Quick Start`_.
.. tip:: The ``ceph-deploy`` utility can install Ceph packages on remote
machines from the admin node!
