I apologize if you covered this (watching over lunch), but what OS are you running on the hosts? Is there prep work to get the admin node dialed in and can you use that admin node multiple times?
Hey Jonathan, CentOS 7 is what we were running. Is there prep work to get the admin node dialed in and can you use that admin node multiple times? There isn't much to get it ready to go: - Need to configure it on your network so it can communicate with you control nodes - You need to install ansible (yum install ansible) That should be pretty much it, as the rest of it should be covered in the video. Yes, you can use this admin node multiple times to manage different groups of servers. The admin node just issues commands to the hosts that you define in the inventory file. Thanks for your question!
Perfect , keep doing this kind videos

I believe it’s centos, however it doesn’t matter ceph and ansible can run on any Linux
