Hello, If you do it, like Sebastian told you, you would automatically deploy osd's. For a beginner I would recommend to do it semi-automated, so you know a bit more what's going on. So first do the "ceph orch device ls" which should print every disk, in all nodes. Then I recommend to zap devices you want to use first, even if it says you can use them: ceph orch device zap {node} /dev/sd? --force And then you can add devices one by one: ceph orch daemon add osd {node}:/dev/sd? Just to top it off. Regards, Simon -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Sebastian Wagner [mailto:swagner@xxxxxxxx] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 24.
