There used to be a 5 minute quick start guide on the Ceph
documentation-site, explaining how to do it using the "mkcephfs"-tool,
but that seems to have been removed in favor of the new ceph-deploy
method.  You basically have to write your own "ceph.conf", prepare all
of the data-dirs and mount-points on the nodes manually, make sure that
password-less SSH to all nodes is OK and then run it.  It will read your
conf-file and create the cluster as described within that file.  If any
part fails, for example if you forgot to create a required directory on
one of the nodes, you have to clean up what it has already done manually
and try again.  I understand why they deprecated it in favor of
ceph-deploy and you wouldn't want to create a new cluster completely by
hand, unless for learning. :-)

Descriptions on how to add or remove components to/from an existing
cluster manually are still on the documentation-site.  For example:
http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/operations/add-or-rm-mons/
http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/operations/add-or-rm-osds/
With this info, you should be able to manually build a new cluster, if
you'd want to.  Start with a fresh monitor, then add the rest.



   Regards,

      Oliver
