Hi Owen, I never really liked ceph-create-keys either, but it simplified the deployment process. I have no problem with removing it as long as we make sure the deployment process doesn't too much harder for ceph-deploy users. Right now, you have to do something like ceph-deploy create MON1 MON2 MON3 ceph-deploy install MON1 MON2 MON3 then manually ceph-deploy create MON1 MON2 MON3 ceph-deploy gatherkeys MON1 or, using the simplified step that was added later, ceph-deploy mon create-initial How about we change the manual process to do ceph-deploy create MON1 MON2 MON3 ceph-deploy createkeys MON1 # ceph-deploy bootstrap-keys create HOST ? ceph-deploy gatherkeys MON1 # ceph-deploy bootstrap-keys gather HOST ? and the create-initial one to run ceph-create-keys manually? We'll need chef, ansible, puppet, and other recipes/playbooks/manifests to be updated as well... sage -- 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
