Hi Chris,
[root@ock tmp]# rbd list bash: rbd: command not found... Do I also need to install the Ceph packages to use rbd ?
Yes, you will need Ceph installed to be able to use user-space commands like the "rbd" tool.
Also how does the client know how to connect to the cluster ? Should /etc/ceph/ceph.conf be copied over to the client ?
Yes, you can do that. If you haven't got ceph.conf on the client, you'll need to give the "-m" parameter to rbd in order to specify the IP-address of a monitor node to connect to.
If you use cephx authentication, the client will also need a file containing the secret or a keyring.
