Could someone make a quick clarification on the quick start guide for me? On this page: http://ceph.com/docs/next/start/quick-ceph-deploy/. After I do "ceph-deploy new" to a system is that system then a monitor from that point forward? Or do I then have to do "ceph-deploy mon create" to that same system before it is really a monitor? Regardless of the combinations of systems I try I seem to get a failure at the add a monitor step. Should this be a correct sequence? ceph@cephtest01:~$ ceph-deploy new cephtest02 ceph@cephtest01:~$ ceph-deploy install --no-adjust-repos cephtest02 cephtest03 cephtest04 ceph@cephtest01:~$ ceph-deploy mon create cephtest02 Here is the failure I get: ceph@cephtest01:~$ ceph-deploy mon create cephtest02 [ceph_deploy.mon][DEBUG ] Deploying mon, cluster ceph hosts cephtest02 [ceph_deploy.mon][DEBUG ] detecting platform for host cephtest02 ...
