[ceph-users] ceph-deploy Intended Purpose

2013-07-12 Thread Edward Huyer
I'm working on deploying a multi-machine (possibly as many as 7) ceph (61.4) 
cluster for experimentation.  I'm trying to deploy using ceph-deploy on Ubuntu, 
but it seems...flaky.  For instance, I tried to deploy additional monitors and 
ran into the bug(?) where the additional monitors don't work if you don't have 
public network defined in ceph.conf, but by the time I found that bit of info 
I had already blown up the cluster.

So my question is, is ceph-deploy the preferred method for deploying larger 
clusters, particularly in production, or is it a quick-and-dirty 
get-something-going-to-play-with tool and manual configuration is preferred for 
real clusters?  I've seen documentation suggesting it's not intended for use 
in real clusters, but a lot of other documentation seems to assume it's the 
default deploy tool.

It's the default tool for getting something up and running quickly for
tests/PoC. If you don't want to make too many custom settings changes, are
happy with SSH access to all boxes, then it's fine but if you want more
granular control then we advise you use something like Chef or Puppet.
There are example Chef configs in the Github repo.
