+
+Converting an existing cluster to cephadm
+=========================================
+
+Cephadm allows you to (pretty) easily convert an existing Ceph cluster that
+has been deployed with ceph-deploy, ceph-ansible, DeepSea, or similar tools.
+
+Limitations
+-----------
+
+* Cephadm only works with BlueStore OSDs.  If there are FileStore OSDs
+  in your cluster you cannot manage them.
+
+Adoption Process
+----------------
+
+#. Get the ``cephadm`` command line too on each host.  You can do this with curl or by installing the package.  The simplest approach is::
+
+     [each host] # curl --silent --remote-name --location https://github.com/ceph/ceph/raw/master/src/cephadm/cephadm
+     [each host] # chmod +x cephadm
+
+#. Prepare each host for use by ``cephadm``::
+
+     [each host] # ./cephadm prepare-host
+
+#. List all Ceph daemons on the current host::
+
+     # ./cephadm ls
+
+   You should see that all existing daemons have a type of ``legacy``
+   in the resulting output.
+
+#. Determine which Ceph version you will use.  You can use any Octopus
+   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.
+
+   The image is passed to cephadm with::
+
+     # ./cephadm --image $IMAGE <rest of command goes here>
+
+#. Adopt each monitor::
+
+     # ./cephadm adopt --style legacy --name mon.<hostname>
+
+#. Adopt each manager::
+
+     # ./cephadm adopt --style legacy --name mgr.<hostname>
+
+#. Enable cephadm::
+
+     # ceph mgr module enable cephadm
+     # ceph orch set backend cephadm
+
+#. Generate an SSH key::
+
+     # ceph cephadm generate-key
+     # ceph cephadm get-pub-key
+
+#. Install the SSH key on each host to be managed::
+
+     # echo <ssh key here> | sudo tee /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
+
+   Note that ``/root/.ssh/authorized_keys`` should have mode ``0600`` and
+   ``/root/.ssh`` should have mode ``0700``.
+
+#. Tell cephadm which hosts to manage::
+
+     # ceph orch host add <hostname> [ip-address]
+
+   This will perform a ``cephadm check-host`` on each host before
+   adding it to ensure it is working.  The IP address argument is only
+   required if DNS doesn't allow you to connect to each host by it's
+   short name.
+
+#. Verify that the monitor and manager daemons are visible::
+
+     # ceph orch ps
+
+#. Adopt all remainingg daemons::
+
+      # ./cephadm adopt --style legacy --name <osd.0>
+      # ./cephadm adopt --style legacy --name <osd.1>
+      # ./cephadm adopt --style legacy --name <mds.foo>
+
+   Repeat for each host and daemon.
+
+#. Check the ``ceph health detail`` output for cephadm warnings about
+   stray cluster daemons or hosts that are not yet managed.
