Administering CephFS

Common CephFS administrative tasks are:

• Monitoring CephFS metrics in real time
• Mapping a directory to a particular MDS rank
• Disassociating a directory from an MDS rank
• Adding a new data pool
• Working with files and directory layouts
• Removing a Ceph File System
• Client features
• Using the ceph mds fail command

Before performing administrative tasks on Ceph File Systems, be sure that you have the following:

• A running, and healthy IBM Storage Ceph cluster.
• Ceph Metadata Server daemons (ceph-mds) installed and configured.
• A Ceph File System that is created and mounted.
