Installing Ceph 5 storage using cephadm

In this demo I install Ceph 5 on VMware using cephadm, works in a lab. Please do not do this in production, only for testing. The environment using vSAN for the OSD's. The new install is super easy, but it's only the first part - in following video's we'll start provisioning the storage.

Note: I show, but do not include the setup for haproxy - ports 8443/tcp routes to all nodes for the GUI, although you can access it directly on the cephadm host. I do have it preconfigured for port 443/tcp for Object/S3 access which I'll include next time.

Am in debt to your insightful magnificent video. Great help to me and respect from Iran; just a note that if you guys are around countries like mine give it time as the setup preparation and pulling images not entirely reflected here for the rest of the nodes :)😍

Excited to see the rados gateway setup!

I got "mgr is not available" error after executing "cephadm bootstrap --mon-ip <IP>" command.
What is the problem? :(

Trying to add an OSD to the cluster. One host is running solely linux, where as the other host is running a Virtual Machine. I have two monitors, one manager, and no filesystem. Ive tried several different ways but not luck (dashboard, manual, etc...). when runnign ceph orch daemon add osd, cephAdmin:/dev/sdb I get a huge error log, but the main premise is Error EEXIST: entity osd.0 exists but key does not match. I have tried ceph orch rm 0, and it says osd.0 does not exist. Any help would be appreciated.

Great video, my question is, can I use it with okd to do dynamic storage?

This kind of video in 4k is a perfect bad idea. Everyone don't have a 4k screen, 100gb of internet connection and bionics eyes. And, finally, you use less that 50% of the screen surface. Please use a 16/9 or 16/10 ratio and a 1024x720 or 1920x1080 max for screen resolution (no video resolution), it is far more readable.
