I was not able to deploy Ceph on multiple hosts, AND assuming that I don't know some small "know hows" decided to minimize the risk of unknowns and deploy on a single box, using these 5-min steps - http://ceph.com/docs/bobtail/start/quick-start/ Everything looks very straightforward and simple. Here is my ceph.conf file: [osd] osd journal size = 1000 filestore xattr use omap = true [mon.a] host = ip-10-212-117-78 mon addr=10-212-117-78:6969 [osd.0] host = ip-10-212-117-78 [osd.1] host = ip-10-212-117-78 [mds.a] host = ip-10-212-117-78 (I tried changing the porting assuming that it may not be open on my Ubuntu instance). However, when I run sudo mkcephfs -a -c /etc/ceph/ceph.conf -k ceph.keyring I get error: ubuntu@ip-10-212-117-78:/etc/ceph$ sudo mkcephfs -a -c /etc/ceph/ceph.conf -k ceph.keyring temp dir is /tmp/mkcephfs.9uVn8o1L8c preparing monmap in /tmp/mkcephfs.9uVn8o1L8c/monmap /usr/bin/monmaptool --create --clobber --add a 10-212-117-78:6969 --print /tmp/mkcephfs.9uVn8o1L8c/monmap /usr/bin/monmaptool: invalid ip:port '10-212-117-78:6969' WARNING: mkcephfs is now deprecated in favour of ceph-deploy. Please see: http://github.com/ceph/ceph-deploy What does it mean and how to work around this?
