I guess I need to install rdb and kvm to achieve the same. > Please correct me if I am wrong. First off, you need to decide whether you want "just virtualization" or a "private cloud". For the former, you're looking at something like just libvirt and kvm; for the latter, OpenStack builds on top of libvirt and provides a lot of extra functionality (at the cost of significant complexity). You should probably study libvirt and/or OpenStack first, independently of Ceph. Once you are familiar with running virtual machines on local disks, switching from that to RBD isn't all that difficult. That said, I am not aware of us having any real documentation on how to do it, currently :( A guide is being written as we speak, so hopefully it'll be ready Real Soon Now(tm). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
