==Scale-out File Pool Setup Using Getting Started Wizard(Ceph FS)==

The Ceph file system (CephFS) is a POSIX-compliant file system that uses a Ceph storage cluster to store its data. Ceph file systems are highly available using metadata servers (MDS). Once you have a healthy Ceph storage cluster with at least one Ceph metadata server, you can create a Ceph file system.

===[[Create_Ceph_Cluster_Configuration|Create a Ceph Cluster]]===
Specify the new Ceph cluster name along with the network interface configuration.

===[[Ceph_Multi_OSD_Create|Create an ''Object Storage Device (OSD)]]===
Multiple storage daemons can be created with a maximum of thirty journal devices per physical disk.

===[[Add_Metadata_Server_To_Ceph_Cluster|Add an ''M''eta ''D''ata ''S''erver(MDS)]]===
One or two Ceph Metadata Server instances must be allocated to collectively manage the scale-out file system namespace.

===[[Ceph_Pool_Profile_Create|Create a Pool Profile (Optional)]]===
Create a custom erasure-coded pool profile to meet specific capacity and high-availability requirements for the file system. This is an optional task.

===[[Ceph_Filesystem_Create|Create a File System]]===
Create a new storage pool based on the Ceph file system. Once provisioned, network shares may be created from the new scale-out storage pool.

===[[Network_Share_Create|Create a Share]]===
Create one or more network shares for users to access storage via the NFS and SMB protocols.
