Ceph: Designing and Implementing Scalable Storage Systems

How to do it...

As we did earlier, we will set up a Ceph client machine using Vagrant and VirtualBox. We will use the same Vagrantfile that we cloned in the last chapter i.e. Chapter 1, Ceph - Introduction and Beyond. Vagrant will then launch a CentOS 7.3 virtual machine that we will configure as a Ceph client:

1. From the directory where we cloned the Ceph-Designing-and-Implementing-Scalable-Storage-Systems GitHub repository, launch the client virtual machine using Vagrant:

         $ vagrant status client-node1         $ vagrant up client-node1

2. Log in to client-node1 and update the node:

      $ vagrant ssh client-node1      $ sudo yum update -y     

The username and password that Vagrant uses to configure virtual machines is vagrant,  and Vagrant has sudo rights. ...
