# Quick Start

|
|
- [Configure OSDs](#configure-osds)

|
- [Install plugins](#install-plugins)
|
|
|
|
## Preparation
|
|
|
|
- Get some SATA or NVMe SSDs with capacitors (server-grade drives). You can use desktop SSDs
|
|
with lazy fsync, but prepare for inferior single-thread latency. Read more about capacitors
|
|
[here](../config/layout-cluster.en.md#immediate_commit).
|
|
- Get a fast network (at least 10 Gbit/s). Something like Mellanox ConnectX-4 with RoCEv2 is ideal.
|
|
- Disable CPU powersaving: `cpupower idle-set -D 0 && cpupower frequency-set -g performance`.
|
|
- [Install Vitastor packages](../installation/packages.en.md).
|
|
|
|
## Configure monitors
|
|
|
|
On the monitor hosts:
|
|
- Edit variables at the top of `/usr/lib/vitastor/mon/make-units.sh` to desired values.
|
|
- Create systemd units for the monitor and etcd: `/usr/lib/vitastor/mon/make-units.sh`
|
|
- Start etcd and monitors: `systemctl start etcd vitastor-mon`
|
|
|
|
## Configure OSDs
|
|
|
|
- Put etcd_address and osd_network into `/etc/vitastor/vitastor.conf`. Example:
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"etcd_address": ["10.200.1.10:2379","10.200.1.11:2379","10.200.1.12:2379"],
|
|
"osd_network": "10.200.1.0/24"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
- Initialize OSDs:
|
|
- Simplest, SSD-only: `/usr/lib/vitastor/mon/make-osd.sh /dev/disk/by-partuuid/XXX [/dev/disk/by-partuuid/YYY ...]`
|
|
**Warning!** This very simple script by default makes units for server-grade SSDs with write-through cache!
|
|
If it's not your case, you MUST remove disable_data_fsync and immediate_commit from systemd units.
|
|
- Hybrid, HDD+SSD: `/usr/lib/vitastor/mon/make-osd-hybrid.js /dev/sda /dev/sdb ...` — pass all your
|
|
devices (HDD and SSD) to this script — it will partition disks and initialize journals on its own.
|
|
This script skips HDDs which are already partitioned so if you want to use non-empty disks for
|
|
Vitastor you should first wipe them with `wipefs -a`. SSDs with GPT partition table are not skipped,
|
|
but some free unpartitioned space must be available because the script creates new partitions for journals.
|
|
- You can change OSD configuration in units or in `vitastor.conf`.
|
|
Check [Configuration Reference](../config.en.md) for parameter descriptions.
|
|
- If all your drives have capacitors, create global configuration in etcd: \
|
|
`etcdctl --endpoints=... put /vitastor/config/global '{"immediate_commit":"all"}'`
|
|
- Start all OSDs: `systemctl start vitastor.target`
|
|
|
|
## Create a pool
|
|
|
|
Create pool configuration in etcd:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
etcdctl --endpoints=... put /vitastor/config/pools '{"1":{"name":"testpool",
|
|
"scheme":"replicated","pg_size":2,"pg_minsize":1,"pg_count":256,"failure_domain":"host"}}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For EC pools the configuration should look like the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
etcdctl --endpoints=... put /vitastor/config/pools '{"2":{"name":"ecpool",
|
|
"scheme":"ec","pg_size":4,"parity_chunks":2,"pg_minsize":2,"pg_count":256,"failure_domain":"host"}`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After you do this, one of the monitors will configure PGs and OSDs will start them.
|
|
|
|
## Check cluster status
|
|
|
|
`vitastor-cli status`
|
|
|
|
Or you can check PG states with `etcdctl --endpoints=... get --prefix /vitastor/pg/state`. All PGs should become 'active'.
|
|
|
|
## Create an image
|
|
|
|
Use vitastor-cli ([read CLI documentation here](../usage/cli.en.md)):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
vitastor-cli create -s 10G testimg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After that, you can [run benchmarks](../usage/fio.en.md) or [start QEMU manually](../usage/qemu.en.md) with this image.
|
|
|
|
