1.5 Setting up and using a Ceph Block Device

To set up a Ceph Block Device, you must first install a Ceph Client on the system where you intend to use the block device. This is usually done from the administration and deployment nodes of your Ceph Storage Cluster.

1.5.1 Installing the Ceph Client

In this example, ceph-client is the hostname of the client system that is configured to access the Storage Cluster.

  1. On the administration node of the Storage Cluster, copy the SSH key to the Ceph Client system, for example:

    # ssh-copy-id root@ceph-client
    Note

    This example assumes that you have configured entries for the Ceph Client system in DNS and/or in /etc/hosts.

  2. On the deployment node (which is usually the same as the administration node), use ceph-deploy to install Ceph on the Ceph Client system, for example:

    # ceph-deploy install ceph-client
  3. On the administration node, copy the Ceph configuration file and the Ceph keyring to the Ceph Client system, for example:

    # ceph-deploy admin ceph-client
