Unfortunately, we didn't start building packages for RHEL6 until
recently, and we would (historically) point CentOS and RHEL (and
Scientific Linux too)
to the `el6` repo.
There is nothing regardless of what the admin host has in its repo files.
The way around this problem is to specify directly what repo url
should ceph-deploy use. It looks like you are using the most current
ceph-deploy version (1.5.2)
available, so this would mean that you could use the `--repo-url` flag like:
ceph-deploy install --repo-url http://ceph.com/rpm-firefly/rhel6/
ceph-mir-dmz-3-backup.TLD ceph-mir-dmz-1-backup.TLD
On my test host called node2 the output will mention that a custom
repo url is being used and will construct the repo file correctly:
ceph-deploy install --repo-url http://ceph.com/rpm-firefly/rhel6/ node2

I have created an issue on the tracker to make sure this is fixed and
no workaround is needed: http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/8443

For some other nodes I installed xfsprogs from centos-6-base repo but now I want to try a clean rhel-based-only install and so I'll add ceph on my nodes from /etc/yum.repos.d/ceph, install manually with yum and then do a ceph-deploy and see what will happen ;)
