Install ceph

wget -q -O- https://raw.github.com/ceph/ceph/master/keys/release.asc | apt-key add -
echo deb http://ceph.com/debian/ $(lsb_release -sc) main | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list
apt-get update && apt-get install ceph

Rebooting node stops everything / Set number of replicas across all nodes

Make sure that the min replica count is set to nodes-1. 

ceph osd pool set <poolname> min_size 1

Then the remaing node[s] will start up with just 1 node if everything else is down.

Keep in mind this can potentially make stuff ugly as there are no replicas now.

Adjust/create pools

Prepare the disk as usual (partition or entire disk) - format with filesystem of choosing. Add to fstab and mount. Add to /etc/ceph/ceph.conf and replicate the new conf to the other nodes.

Start the disk, I'm assuming we've added osd.12 here. 

## Auth stuff to make sure that the OSD is accepted into the cluser:
mkdir /srv/ceph/osd12
ceph-osd -i 12 --mkfs --mkkey
ceph auth add osd.12 osd 'allow *' mon 'allow rwx' -i /etc/ceph/keyring.osd.12

## Create disk and start it
ceph osd create osd.12
/etc/init.d/ceph start osd.12

## Add it to the cluster and allow replicated based on CRUSH map.
ceph osd crush set 12 osd.12 1.0 pool=default rack=unknownrack host=ceph1

Check that is in the right place with: 

ceph osd tree

More info here:

Delete pools/OSD

Make sure you have the right disk, run 

ceph osd tree

to get an overview.

Delete a OSD 

ceph osd crush remove osd.12

Replicating from OSD-based to replication across hosts in a ceph cluster

KVM - add disk

Pr host: 

    <disk type='network' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
      <source protocol="rbd" name="test/disk2-qemu-5g:rbd_cache=1">
        <host name='192.168.0.67' port='6789'/>
        <host name='192.168.0.68' port='6789'/>
      </source>
      <auth username='admin' type='ceph'>
        <secret type='ceph' uuid='7a91dc24-b072-43c4-98fb-4b2415322b0f'/>
      </auth>
      <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/>
    </disk>

Pr pool: 

<pool type='rbd'>
   <name>rbd</name>
