Cluster Operations
High-level OperationsHigh-level cluster operations consist primarily of starting, stopping, and
restarting a cluster with the | Data PlacementOnce you have your cluster up and running, you may begin working with data placement. Ceph supports petabyte-scale data storage clusters, with storage pools and placement groups that distribute data across the cluster using Ceph’s CRUSH algorithm. |
Low-level OperationsLow-level cluster operations consist of starting, stopping, and restarting a particular daemon within a cluster; changing the settings of a particular daemon or subsystem; and, adding a daemon to the cluster or removing a daemon from the cluster. The most common use cases for low-level operations include growing or shrinking the Ceph cluster and replacing legacy or failed hardware with new hardware. | TroubleshootingCeph is still on the leading edge, so you may encounter situations that require you to evaluate your Ceph configuration and modify your logging and debugging settings to identify and remedy issues you are encountering with your cluster. |
