Hi, I'm brand new to Ceph, attempting to follow the Getting Started<http://ceph.com/docs/master/start/>guide with 2 VMs. I completed the Preflight without issue. I completed Storage Cluster Quick Start <http://ceph.com/docs/master/start/quick-ceph-deploy/>, but have some questions:
The *Single Node Quick Start* grey box -- does 'single node' mean if you're running the whole thing on a single machine, if you have only one server node like the diagram at the top of the page, or if you're only running one OSD process? I'm not sure if I need to make the `osd crush chooseleaf type` change. Are the LIST, ZAP, and ADD OSDS ON STANDALONE DISKS sections an alternative to the MULTIPLE OSDS ON THE OS DISK (DEMO ONLY) section? I thought I set up my OSDs already on /tmp/osd{0,1}. Moving on to the Block Device Quick Start<http://ceph.com/docs/master/start/quick-rbd/> -- it says "To use this guide, you must have executed the procedures in the Object Store Quick Start guide first" -- but the link to the Object Store Quick Start actually points to the Storage Cluster Quick Start<http://ceph.com/docs/master/start/quick-ceph-deploy/> -- which is it? Most importantly, it says "Ensure your Ceph Storage Cluster is in an active + clean state before working with the Ceph Block Device" --- how can tell if my cluster is active+clean?? The only ceph* command on the admin node is ceph-deploy, and running `ceph` on the server node: ceph@jr-ceph2:~$ ceph 2013-09-16 16:53:10.880267 7feb96c1b700 -1 monclient(hunting): ERROR: missing keyring, cannot use cephx for authentication 2013-09-16 16:53:10.880271 7feb96c1b700 0 librados: client.admin initialization error (2) No such file or directory Error connecting to cluster: ObjectNotFound Thanks in advance for any help, and apologies if I missed anything obvious.
