  • Container Storage Interface (CSI) is a set of specifications for container orchestration frameworks to manage storage. The CSI spec abstracts common storage features such as create/delete volumes, publish/unpublish volumes, stage/unstage volumes, and more. It is projected that CSI will be the only supported persistent storage driver in the near feature.
  • Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is a tool for logical volume management. LVM can be used to create easy to maintain logical volumes, manage disk quotas using logical volumes, resize logical volumes on the fly, create software RAIDs, combining hard drives into a big storage pool and many more.
  • The Ceph ManaGeRs daemon (MGRs) are runtime daemons responsible for keeping track of runtime metrics and the current state of your Ceph cluster. They runs alongside monitor daemons, to provide additional monitoring and interfaces to external monitoring and management systems.
  • Ceph MONitors (MONs) are responsible for maintaining the maps of the cluster required for the Ceph daemons to coordinate with each other. There should always be more than one MON running to increase the reliability and availability of your storage service.
  • Ceph Object Storage Daemons (OSDs) are the heart and soul of the Ceph storage platform. Each OSD manages a local device and together they provide the distributed storage. Rook will automate creation and management of OSDs to hide the complexity based on the desired state in the CephCluster CR as much as possible.
  • Placement Groups (PGs) are an internal implementation detail of how Ceph distributes data. You can allow the cluster to either make recommendations or automatically tune PGs based on how the cluster is used by enabling pg-autoscaling.

Prerequisites

In order to configure the Ceph storage cluster, the following prerogatives must be respected:

...

If you did not modify the cluster.yaml above, it is expected that one OSD will be created per node. The file, which is fine in most cases, contains many parameters that can be changed. Here you will find a detailed list.
