Chapter 18. List/Create a Pool

You can manage pools using Calamari, or using the Ceph command line. Verify that you have pools for writing and reading data:

ceph osd lspools

You can bind to any of the pools listed using the admin user and client.admin key. To create a pool, use the following syntax:

ceph osd pool create <pool-name> <pg-num> [<pgp-num>] [replicated] [crush-ruleset-name]

For example:

ceph osd pool create mypool 512 512 replicated replicated_ruleset
Note

To find the rule set names available, execute ceph osd crush rule list.
