.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBceph\-disk\fP is a utility that can prepare and activate a disk, partition or
directory as a Ceph OSD. It is run directly or triggered by \fBceph\-deploy\fP
or \fBudev\fP\&. It can also be triggered by other deployment utilities like \fBChef\fP,
\fBJuju\fP, \fBPuppet\fP etc.
.sp
It actually automates the multiple steps involved in manual creation and start
of an OSD into two steps of preparing and activating the OSD by using the
subcommands \fBprepare\fP and \fBactivate\fP\&.
.SH SUBCOMMANDS
.SS prepare
.sp
Prepare a directory, disk or drive for a Ceph OSD. It creates a GPT partition,
marks the partition with Ceph type \fBuuid\fP, creates a file system, marks the
file system as ready for Ceph consumption, uses entire partition and adds a new
partition to the journal disk. It is run directly or triggered by
\fBceph\-deploy\fP\&.
.sp
Usage:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
ceph\-disk prepare \-\-cluster [cluster\-name] \-\-cluster\-uuid [uuid] \-\-fs\-type

Other options like \fI\%--osd-uuid\fP, \fI\%--journal-uuid\fP,
\fI\%--zap-disk\fP, \fI\%--data-dir\fP, \fI\%--data-dev\fP,
\fI\%--journal-file\fP, \fI\%--journal-dev\fP, \fI\%--dmcrypt\fP
and \fI\%--dmcrypt-key-dir\fP can also be used with the subcommand.
.SS activate
.sp
Activate the Ceph OSD. It mounts the volume in a temporary location, allocates
an OSD id (if needed), remounts in the correct location
\fB/var/lib/ceph/osd/$cluster\-$id\fP and starts ceph\-osd. It is triggered by
\fBudev\fP when it sees the OSD GPT partition type or on ceph service start with
\fBceph disk activate\-all\fP\&. It is also run directly or triggered by
\fBceph\-deploy\fP\&.
.sp
Usage:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
ceph\-disk activate [PATH]
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Here, [PATH] is path to a block device or a directory.
.sp
An additional option \fI\%--activate-key\fP has to be used with this
subcommand when a copy of \fB/var/lib/ceph/bootstrap\-osd/{cluster}.keyring\fP
isn\(aqt present in the OSD node.
.sp
Usage:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
ceph\-disk activate [PATH] [\-\-activate\-key PATH]
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Another option \fI\%--mark-init\fP can also be used with this subcommand.
\fB\-\-mark\-init\fP provides init system to manage the OSD directory.
.SS activate\-journal
.sp
Activate an OSD via it\(aqs journal device. \fBudev\fP triggers
\fBceph\-disk activate\-journal <dev>\fP based on the partition type.
.sp
Usage:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
ceph\-disk activate\-journal [DEV]
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Here, [DEV] is the path to a journal block device.
.sp
Others options like \fI\%--activate-key\fP and \fI\%--mark-init\fP can also
be used with this subcommand.
.sp
\fB\-\-mark\-init\fP provides init system to manage the OSD directory.
.sp
Usage:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5

ceph\-disk activate\-journal [\-\-activate\-key PATH] [\-\-mark\-init INITSYSTEM] [DEV]
.ft P

.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.SS activate\-all
.sp
Activate all tagged OSD partitions. \fBactivate\-all\fP relies on
\fB/dev/disk/by\-parttype\-uuid/$typeuuid.$uuid\fP to find all partitions. Special
\fBudev\fP rules are installed to create these links. It is triggered on ceph
service start or run directly.
.sp

Others options like \fI\%--activate-key\fP and \fI\%--mark-init\fP can
also be used with this subcommand.

\fB\-\-mark\-init\fP provides init system to manage the OSD directory.

.SS list
.sp
List disk partitions and Ceph OSDs. It is run directly or triggered by
\fBceph\-deploy\fP\&.

.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.SS suppress\-activate
.sp
Suppress activate on a device (prefix). Mark devices that you don\(aqt want to
activate with a file like \fB/var/lib/ceph/tmp/suppress\-activate.sdb\fP where the
last bit is the sanitized device name (/dev/X without the /dev/ prefix). A
function \fBis_suppressed()\fP checks for and  matches a prefix (/dev/). It means
suppressing sdb will stop activate on sdb1, sdb2, etc.
.sp
Usage:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
ceph\-disk suppress\-activate [PATH]
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Here, [PATH] is path to a block device or a directory.
.SS unsuppress\-activate
.sp
Stop suppressing activate on a device (prefix). It is used to activate a device
that was earlier kept deactivated using \fBsuppress\-activate\fP\&.
.sp
Usage:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
ceph\-disk unsuppress\-activate [PATH]

.sp
Here, [PATH] is path to a block device or a directory.
.SS zap
.sp
Zap/erase/destroy a device\(aqs partition table and contents. It actually uses
\fBsgdisk\fP and it\(aqs option \fB\-\-zap\-all\fP to destroy both GPT and MBR data
structures so that the disk becomes suitable for repartitioning. \fBsgdisk\fP
then uses \fB\-\-mbrtogpt\fP to convert the MBR or BSD disklabel disk to a GPT
disk. The \fBprepare\fP subcommand can now be executed which will create a new
GPT partition. It is also run directly or triggered by \fBceph\-deploy\fP\&.
