The Ceph Filesystem (CephFS) is a POSIX-compliant filesystem that uses a Ceph Storage Cluster to store its data. Ceph File Systems are highly available using Metadata Servers (MDS).

General Settings
This procedure will assist with the initial setup items including adding license keys, changing the 'admin' user password and making initial network configuration changes.
-Step one helps you Add a license.
-Step two helps you Activate a license.
-Step three helps you change the Administrator Password.
-Step four helps configure the Network Configuration.
Storage Grid Setup
This procedure will assist with setting up a Storage Grid. Storage Grid technology makes it easy to manage large numbers of Storage Systems and enables access to features like remote-replication and scale-out storage.
-Step one helps you Create Storage Grid.
-Step two helps you Add System.
Block Storage Provisioning (iSCSI/FC)
This procedure will assist with setting up a Storage Grid. Storage Grid technology makes it easy to manage large numbers of Storage Systems and enables access to features like remote-replication and scale-out storage.
-Step One helps you Create Storage Grid.
-Step Two helps you Add System.
File Storage Provisioning (NFS/CIFS)
File storage folders are referred to as Network Shares. Network Shares may be accessed via both the NFS and the SMB protocols.
-Step One helps you Create Storage Pool.
-Step Two helps you Setup Active Directory (optional).
-Step three helps you Create Network Share
-Step four helps you NFS Client Access Settings.
-Step five helps you SMB Client Access Settings.
Object Storage Setup (S3/SWIFT)
Scale-out Object and Block storage configurations enable S3/SWIFT object storage access as well as iSCSI storage access to scale-out Storage Volumes. Scale-out storage uses replicas and/or erasure-coding technologies to ensure fault-tolerance and high-availability. Ceph technology is used within the platform so a Ceph Cluster must first be created to enable this functionality.
-Step One helps you Create Storage Grid.
-Step Two helps you Add System.
Ceph File System Setup
The Ceph Filesystem (CephFS) is a POSIX-compliant filesystem 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 Filesystem.
-Step one helps you Create an Object Storage Cluster.
-Step two helps you Add a Metadata Server.
-Step three helps you Select Data Devices.
-Step four helps you Create a Ceph Filesystem.
-Step five helps you Create a Network Share.
Ceph Block Storage Setup
-Step one helps you Create an Object Storage Cluster.
-Step two helps you Add a Metadata Server.
-Step three helps you Select Data Devices
-Step four helps you Create a Ceph File System.
-Step five helps you Create a Network Share.
