Ceph:Install Clients

Install Ceph

Check that you have a correct version of Linux installed

ceph-deploy install ceph-client
ceph-deploy admin ceph-client

Configure a Block Device

On the client node:

rbd create foo --size 4096 [-m {mon-IP}] [-k /path/to/ceph.client.admin.keyring]
sudo modprobe rbd
sudo rbd map foo --pool rbd --name client.admin [-m {mon-IP}] [-k /path/to/ceph.client.admin.keyring]

Create a file system and mount the Ceph FS

sudo mkfs.ext4 -m0 /dev/rbd/rbd/foo

sudo mkdir /mnt/ceph-block-device
sudo mount /dev/rbd/rbd/foo /mnt/ceph-block-device
cd /mnt/ceph-block-device
