Configuring RADOS

Back to the top…
Enabling RADOS
(( You are Here ))
Load Balancing

So… assuming everything went according to plan… you should now have RADOS running:

validating radosgw is running: Service status 
root@px-m-45:/tmp/ceph-px-m-45# service radosgw status
● radosgw.service - LSB: radosgw RESTful rados gateway
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/radosgw; generated)
     Active: active (running) since Thu 2023-01-26 22:16:32 CST; 1 weeks 3 days ago
       Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)
      Tasks: 603 (limit: 618787)
     Memory: 370.3M
        CPU: 1h 2min 15.883s
     CGroup: /system.slice/radosgw.service
             └─90606 /bin/radosgw -n client.radosgw.px-m-45

Adding radosgw to /etc/services allows tools like netstat to resolve that for you.
I’m showing the output of netstat with/without service-name resolution here:

Netstat output: px-m-40

So Now What? #

Okay! COOL! So RADOS is running! Wahoo!!!

Now what?

Well,

Creation of an administrative user account #

FIRST, we need to create an admin user for global administration.

radosgw - Creation of global admin user 
radosgw-admin user create --uid=admin --system \
  --display-name="WolfspyreLabs Admin" \ 
  --email="admin@example.com"

The Output: #

IF you use the ceph-dashboard, there’s some enablement to perform there.
