Description

Goal: To allow 3rd party products which will be acting as Ceph clients to be able to install & configure all Ceph-client side components before a Ceph cluster is running.

Currently 3rd party products, such as OpenStack distributions, can install the various Ceph client packages without their being a pre-existing Ceph cluster running. However, at present, the cluster is needed to generate the client.admin.key which is also needed on the client side.

We would like to use the config mgmt systems embedded into the Openstack products (such as Puppet) to distribute a client key that has been generated, before a Ceph cluster has been installed, to the various client nodes, and then to pass it back to the Ceph installation admin node so it can be added to the MONs (via ceph-deploy or manually) post-hoc. This would allow the admin to finish her Openstack install before moving onto the Ceph installation where as currently any installation process requires a switching back and forth between the two installation processes.
