Hi John,
That makes sense it affects the ceph cluster map, but it actually does a little more like partitioning drives and setting up other parameters and even starts the service. So the part I see is a little confusing is that I have to configure the ceph.conf file on top of using ceph-deploy so it starts to feel like double work and potential for error if you get mixed up or you were expecting one thing and ceph-deploy does another.
I think I can figure out a best practice, but I think it is worth noting that just running the commands will get it up and running but it is probably best to edit the config file as well. I like the new ceph-deploy commands definitely makes things more manageable.
A single page example for install and setup would be highly appreciated, especially for new users.
I must have skimmed that section in the runtime-changes thanks for pointing me to the page.
Thanks for responding,
Scottix

ceph-deploy adds the OSDs to the cluster map. You can add the OSDs to
the ceph.conf manually.
In the ceph.conf file, the settings don't require underscores. If you
modify your configuration at runtime, you need to add the underscores
on the command line.

Underscores and dashes work with the config settings.
