Ansible role: Ceph Common

This role does several things prior to bootstrapping your Ceph cluster:

• Checks the system and validates that Ceph can be installed
• Tunes the operating system if the node is an OSD server
• Installs Ceph
• Generates ceph.conf

Requirements

Move the plugins/actions/config_template.py file to your top level playbook directory. Edit your ansible.cfg like so:

action_plugins = plugins/actions

Depending on how you are managing your playbook, the path might be different so edit the file accordingly if necessary.
