Basic client setup

As a storage administrator, you have to set up IBM Storage Ceph client machines with basic configuration to interact with the storage cluster.

Most client machines only need the ceph-common package and its dependencies installed. It will supply the basic ceph and rados commands, as well as other commands like mount.ceph and rbd.

Prerequisites

  • A running IBM Storage Ceph cluster.

  • Root-level access to all the nodes.

  • Hosts are added to the cluster.

  • All manager, monitor and OSD daemons are deployed.
