Chapter 3. Setting Up Your Administration Server

Using sudo, mount the image:

sudo mount -o loop <path_to_iso>/rhceph-1.2.3-rhel-6-x86_64.iso /mnt

OR

sudo mount <path_to_iso>/rhceph-1.2.3-rhel-7-x86_64.iso /mnt

Using sudo, copy each Ceph *.pem product certificates from /mnt to /etc/pki/product. For example:

sudo cp /mnt/RHCeph-Calamari-1.2-x86_64-c1e8ca3b6c57-285.pem /etc/pki/product/285.pem
sudo cp /mnt/RHCeph-Installer-1.2-x86_64-8ad6befe003d-281.pem /etc/pki/product/281.pem
sudo cp /mnt/RHCeph-MON-1.2-x86_64-d8afd76a547b-286.pem /etc/pki/product/286.pem
sudo cp /mnt/RHCeph-OSD-1.2-x86_64-25019bf09fe9-288.pem /etc/pki/product/288.pem

Using sudo, install the setup script.

sudo yum install /mnt/ice_setup-*.rpm

Create a working directory for your Ceph cluster configuration files and keys. Then, navigate to that directory. For example:

mkdir ~/ceph-config
cd ~/ceph-config

Using sudo, run the setup script in the working directory you created at step 7 of Setting Up Your Administration Server. NOTE: You cannot run the setup script in /mnt or a read-only directory or the script will crash. The script will output a cephdeploy.conf file, which ceph-deploy will use to point to the local repository.

sudo ice_setup -d /mnt

The setup script performs the following operations:

To receive updates to calamari, ceph-deploy and ice_setup on the admin node, using sudo, execute:

sudo yum update

Using sudo, run ice_setup with the update all sub-command. This will synchronize new packages (if any) from the Red Hat CDN into the local repository on your Calamari admin node.

sudo ice_setup update all

Using sudo, initialize the Calamari monitoring and administration server.

sudo calamari-ctl initialize
