The Multi-Create tool makes the creation of the Ceph Journals and OSDs very simple, with a single dialog handling the initialization of all components.  Use the following instructions to begin.
Ceph OSDs and Journal Devices can be created by navigating to the ''Data & Journal Devices'' menu. From here you can either right click in the space and press ''Create OSDs & Journals'' or you can access it via the ''Create OSDs & Journals'' option in the ribbon bar. A dialogue box titled ''Create OSDs & Journals'' will open:

Ceph OSDs and Journal Devices can be created by navigating to the Data & Journal Devices menu. From here you can either right click in the space and press Create OSDs & Journals or you can access it via the Create OSDs & Journals option in the ribbon bar. A dialogue box titled Create OSDs & Journals will open:

  • Mark the devices intended for use as Journals or OSDs from each system
  • Click the -> arrow in the middle section to set the devices as Journal or OSD devices
    • If Journal devices already exist in the Ceph Cluster the Use available Ceph Journal partitions checkbox can be marked
  • Auto Config button can do all the work for you.

Once this form is submitted, QuantaStor will begin the process by creating an Storage Pool for each of the devices added as an OSD in the dialogue. This process takes time. Allow a few minutes after the final Create Ceph OSD task completes for all OSDs to show up and fully initiate.

Please see the Manual Journal and OSD creation section in Management and Operation below for details on how to manually build the Journals, Storage Pools, and OSDs. Because of the number of steps required and complexity, the auto configuration tool can be used at any time which simplifies the OSD creation process.
