Creating storage strategies for Red Hat Ceph Storage clusters

Red Hat Ceph Storage Documentation Team

Abstract

This document provides instructions for creating storage strategies, including creating CRUSH hierarchies, estimating the number of placement groups, determining which type of storage pool to create, and managing pools.
Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright's message.
