Adding hosts in disconnected deployments

If you are running a storage cluster on a private network, such as an air-gapped environment, and your host domain name server (DNS) cannot be reached through private IP, you must include both the host name and the IP address for each host you want to add to the storage cluster.

Before you begin

Before you begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites in place:
  • A running IBM Storage Ceph cluster.
  • Root-level access to all hosts in the storage cluster.

Procedure

  1. Log into the cephadm shell.
    cephadm shell
  2. Add the host.
    ceph orch host add HOST_NAME HOST_ADDRESS
    For example,
    [ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph orch host add host03 10.10.128.70
