We use a puppet module to deploy them. We give it devices to configure from hiera data specific to our different types of storage nodes. The module is a fork from https://github.com/openstack/puppet-ceph.
Ultimately the module ends up running 'ceph-disk prepare [arguments] /dev/mapper/mpathXX /dev/nvmeXX' (data dev, journal dev). thanks, Ben On Wed, Jul 12, 2017 at 12:13 PM, <bruno.cann...@stfc.ac.uk> wrote: > Hi Ben, > > Thanks for this, much appreciated. > > Can I just check: Do you use ceph-deploy to create your OSDs?
