Installing Ceph using an OS


As of Proxmox 3.2, a Ceph server can directly run on the Proxmox node. We can also manage the Ceph cluster from the Proxmox GUI. Ceph can function just the same whether it is installed as an additional service on Proxmox node or separately on a different node using another Debian-based operating system. In this chapter, we are going to look at both installation processes.

We will try our best to look into all aspects of the Ceph installation in this chapter. However, if we have missed out on something, Ceph's official documentation may be a good start for additional information.

Note

For the official Ceph documentation, visit http://www.ceph.com/docs/master/start/intro.

For the official Proxmox documentation to install Ceph on the same Proxmox node, visit http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Ceph_Server.

The installation process of Ceph in the documentation may be a little overwhelming at first, but repeated study will allow for a better understanding of this great technology...
