Mapping Ceph Block Device

Now that we have created a block device on a Ceph cluster, in order to use this block device, we need to map it to the client machine. To do this, execute the following commands from the client-node1 machine.

How to do it…

  1. Map the block device to the client-node1:
    # rbd map --image rbd1 --name client.rbd
    
  2. Check the mapped block device:
    # rbd showmapped --name client.rbd
    
    How to do it…
  3. To make use of this block device, we should create a filesystem on this and mount it:
    # fdisk -l /dev/rbd1
    # mkfs.xfs /dev/rbd1
    # mkdir /mnt/ceph-disk1
    # mount /dev/rbd1 /mnt/ceph-disk1
    # df -h /mnt/ceph-disk1
    How to do it…
  4. Test the block device by writing data to it:
    # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/ceph-disk1/file1 count=100 bs=1M
    
    How to do it…
  5. To map the block device across reboots, you should add init-rbdmap script to the system startup, add the Ceph user and keyring details to /etc/ceph/rbdmap, and finally, update the /etc/fstab file:
    # wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ksingh7/ceph-cookbook/master/rbdmap -O /etc/init.d/rbdmap
    # chmod +x /etc/init.d/rbdmap
    # update-rc.d rbdmap defaults
    ## Make sure you use correct keyring value in /etc/ceph/rbdmap file, which is generally unique for an environment.
    # echo "rbd/rbd1 id=rbd,keyring=AQCLEg5VeAbGARAAE4ULXC7M5Fwd3BGFDiHRTw==" >> /etc/ceph/rbdmap
    # echo "/dev/rbd1 /mnt/ceph-disk1 xfs defaults, _netdev0 0 " >> /etc/fstab
    # mkdir /mnt/ceph-disk1
    # /etc/init.d/rbdmap start
