Following up, I kept the default "ceph" name of the cluster, and didn't muck with any defaults in the ceph.conf file (for auth settings).
Using ceph-deploy to prepare an OSD resulted in the following error. It created a 1G journal file on the mount I had specified, and I do see a new partition being created on the server machine on the /dev/sda disk (ceph-1) (of type GPT). Is there a size limitation to the disk? And shouldn't the journal (see warning below) ideally be on a different device so that errors are locally recoverable?
Thanks,
Hari
