+.. _ceph-volume-lvm-activate:
+
+``activate``
+============
+
+After :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-prepare` has completed its run, the volume can be
+activated. 
+
+Activating the volume involves enabling a ``systemd`` unit that persists the
+``OSD ID`` and its ``UUID`` (which is also called the ``fsid`` in the Ceph CLI
+tools). After this information has been persisted, the cluster can determine
+which OSD is enabled and must be mounted.
+
+.. note:: The execution of this call is fully idempotent. This means that the
+   call can be executed multiple times without changing the result of its first
+   successful execution.
+
+For information about OSDs deployed by cephadm, refer to
+:ref:`cephadm-osd-activate`.
+
+New OSDs
+--------
+To activate newly prepared OSDs both the :term:`OSD id` and :term:`OSD uuid`
+need to be supplied. For example::
+
+    ceph-volume lvm activate --bluestore 0 0263644D-0BF1-4D6D-BC34-28BD98AE3BC8
+
+.. note:: The UUID is stored in the ``fsid`` file in the OSD path, which is
+          generated when :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-prepare` is used.
+
+Activating all OSDs
+-------------------
+
+.. note:: For OSDs deployed by cephadm, please refer to :ref:`cephadm-osd-activate`
+          instead.
+
+It is possible to activate all existing OSDs at once by using the ``--all``
+flag. For example::
+
+    ceph-volume lvm activate --all
+
+This call will inspect all the OSDs created by ceph-volume that are inactive
+and will activate them one by one. If any of the OSDs are already running, it
+will report them in the command output and skip them, making it safe to rerun
+(idempotent).
+
+requiring uuids
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The :term:`OSD uuid` is being required as an extra step to ensure that the
+right OSD is being activated. It is entirely possible that a previous OSD with
+the same id exists and would end up activating the incorrect one.
+
+
+dmcrypt
+^^^^^^^
+If the OSD was prepared with dmcrypt by ceph-volume, there is no need to
+specify ``--dmcrypt`` on the command line again (that flag is not available for
+the ``activate`` subcommand). An encrypted OSD will be automatically detected.
+
+
+Discovery
+---------
+With OSDs previously created by ``ceph-volume``, a *discovery* process is
+performed using :term:`LVM tags` to enable the systemd units.
+
+The systemd unit will capture the :term:`OSD id` and :term:`OSD uuid` and
+persist it. Internally, the activation will enable it like::
+
+    systemctl enable ceph-volume@lvm-$id-$uuid
+
+For example::
+
+    systemctl enable ceph-volume@lvm-0-8715BEB4-15C5-49DE-BA6F-401086EC7B41
+
+Would start the discovery process for the OSD with an id of ``0`` and a UUID of
+``8715BEB4-15C5-49DE-BA6F-401086EC7B41``.
+
+.. note:: for more details on the systemd workflow see :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-systemd`
+
+The systemd unit will look for the matching OSD device, and by looking at its
+:term:`LVM tags` will proceed to:
+
+#. Mount the device in the corresponding location (by convention this is
+``/var/lib/ceph/osd/<cluster name>-<osd id>/``)
+
+#. Ensure that all required devices are ready for that OSD.
+
+#. Start the ``ceph-osd@0`` systemd unit
+
+.. note:: The system infers the objectstore type by
+          inspecting the LVM tags applied to the OSD devices
+
+Existing OSDs
+-------------
+For existing OSDs that have been deployed with ``ceph-disk``, they need to be
+scanned and activated :ref:`using the simple sub-command <ceph-volume-simple>`.
+If a different tool was used then the only way to port them over to the new
+mechanism is to prepare them again (losing data). See
+:ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-existing-osds` for details on how to proceed.
+
+Summary
+-------
+To recap the ``activate`` process for :term:`bluestore`:
+
+#. Require both :term:`OSD id` and :term:`OSD uuid`
+#. Enable the system unit with matching id and uuid
+#. Create the ``tmpfs`` mount at the OSD directory in
+   ``/var/lib/ceph/osd/$cluster-$id/``
+#. Recreate all the files needed with ``ceph-bluestore-tool prime-osd-dir`` by
+   pointing it to the OSD ``block`` device.
+#. The systemd unit will ensure all devices are ready and linked
+#. The matching ``ceph-osd`` systemd unit will get started

+.. _ceph-volume-lvm-batch:
+
+``batch``
+===========
+The subcommand allows to create multiple OSDs at the same time given
+an input of devices. The ``batch`` subcommand is closely related to
+drive-groups. One individual drive group specification translates to a single
+``batch`` invocation.
+
+The subcommand is based to :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-create`, and will use the very
+same code path. All ``batch`` does is to calculate the appropriate sizes of all
+volumes and skip over already created volumes.
+
+All the features that ``ceph-volume lvm create`` supports, like ``dmcrypt``,
+avoiding ``systemd`` units from starting, defining bluestore,
+is supported.
+
+
+.. _ceph-volume-lvm-batch_auto:
+
+Automatic sorting of disks
+--------------------------
+If ``batch`` receives only a single list of data devices and other options are
+passed , ``ceph-volume`` will auto-sort disks by its rotational
+property and use non-rotating disks for ``block.db`` or ``journal`` depending
+on the objectstore used. If all devices are to be used for standalone OSDs,
+no matter if rotating or solid state, pass ``--no-auto``.
+For example assuming :term:`bluestore` is used and ``--no-auto`` is not passed,
+the deprecated behavior would deploy the following, depending on the devices
+passed:
+
+#. Devices are all spinning HDDs: 1 OSD is created per device
+#. Devices are all SSDs: 2 OSDs are created per device
+#. Devices are a mix of HDDs and SSDs: data is placed on the spinning device,
+   the ``block.db`` is created on the SSD, as large as possible.
+
+.. note:: Although operations in ``ceph-volume lvm create`` allow usage of
+          ``block.wal`` it isn't supported with the ``auto`` behavior.
+
+This default auto-sorting behavior is now DEPRECATED and will be changed in future releases.
+Instead devices are not automatically sorted unless the ``--auto`` option is passed
+
+It is recommended to make use of the explicit device lists for ``block.db``,
+   ``block.wal`` and ``journal``.
+
+.. _ceph-volume-lvm-batch_bluestore:
+
+Reporting
+=========
+By default ``batch`` will print a report of the computed OSD layout and ask the
+user to confirm. This can be overridden by passing ``--yes``.
+
+If one wants to try out several invocations with being asked to deploy
+``--report`` can be passed. ``ceph-volume`` will exit after printing the report.
+
+Consider the following invocation::
+
+    $ ceph-volume lvm batch --report /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd --db-devices /dev/nvme0n1
+
+This will deploy three OSDs with external ``db`` and ``wal`` volumes on
+an NVME device.
+
+Pretty reporting
+----------------
+
+The ``pretty`` report format (the default) would
+look like this::
+
+    $ ceph-volume lvm batch --report /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd --db-devices /dev/nvme0n1
+    --> passed data devices: 3 physical, 0 LVM
+    --> relative data size: 1.0

+      block_db        /dev/nvme0n1                                           66.67 GB         33.33%

+
+JSON reporting
+--------------
+
+Reporting can produce a structured output with ``--format json`` or
+``--format json-pretty``::
+
+    $ ceph-volume lvm batch --report --format json-pretty /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd --db-devices /dev/nvme0n1
+    --> passed data devices: 3 physical, 0 LVM
+    --> relative data size: 1.0
+    --> passed block_db devices: 1 physical, 0 LVM
+    [
+        {
+            "block_db": "/dev/nvme0n1",
+            "block_db_size": "66.67 GB",
+            "data": "/dev/sdb",
+            "data_size": "300.00 GB",
+            "encryption": "None"
+        },
+        {
+            "block_db": "/dev/nvme0n1",
+            "block_db_size": "66.67 GB",
+            "data": "/dev/sdc",
+            "data_size": "300.00 GB",
+            "encryption": "None"
+        },
+        {
+            "block_db": "/dev/nvme0n1",
+            "block_db_size": "66.67 GB",
+            "data": "/dev/sdd",
+            "data_size": "300.00 GB",
+            "encryption": "None"
+        }
+    ]
+
+Sizing
+======
+When no sizing arguments are passed, `ceph-volume` will derive the sizing from
+the passed device lists (or the sorted lists when using the automatic sorting).
+`ceph-volume batch` will attempt to fully utilize a device's available capacity.
+Relying on automatic sizing is recommended.
+
+If one requires a different sizing policy for wal, db or journal devices,
+`ceph-volume` offers implicit and explicit sizing rules.
+
+Implicit sizing
+---------------
+Scenarios in which either devices are under-committed or not all data devices are
+currently ready for use (due to a broken disk for example), one can still rely
+on `ceph-volume` automatic sizing.
+Users can provide hints to `ceph-volume` as to how many data devices should have
+their external volumes on a set of fast devices. These options are:
+
+* ``--block-db-slots``
+* ``--block-wal-slots``
+* ``--journal-slots``
+
+For example, consider an OSD host that is supposed to contain 5 data devices and
+one device for wal/db volumes. However, one data device is currently broken and
+is being replaced. Instead of calculating the explicit sizes for the wal/db
+volume, one can simply call::
+
+    $ ceph-volume lvm batch --report /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde --db-devices /dev/nvme0n1 --block-db-slots 5
+
+Explicit sizing
+---------------
+It is also possible to provide explicit sizes to `ceph-volume` via the arguments
+
+* ``--block-db-size``
+* ``--block-wal-size``
+* ``--journal-size``
+
+`ceph-volume` will try to satisfy the requested sizes given the passed disks. If
+this is not possible, no OSDs will be deployed.
+
+
+Idempotency and disk replacements
+=================================
+`ceph-volume lvm batch` intends to be idempotent, i.e. calling the same command
+repeatedly must result in the same outcome. For example calling::
+
+    $ ceph-volume lvm batch --report /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd --db-devices /dev/nvme0n1
+
+will result in three deployed OSDs (if all disks were available). Calling this
+command again, you will still end up with three OSDs and ceph-volume will exit
+with return code 0.
+
+Suppose /dev/sdc goes bad and needs to be replaced. After destroying the OSD and
+replacing the hardware, you can again call the same command and `ceph-volume`
+will detect that only two out of the three wanted OSDs are setup and re-create
+the missing OSD.
+
+This idempotency notion is tightly coupled to and extensively used by :ref:`drivegroups`.

+.. _ceph-volume-lvm-create:
+
+``create``
+===========
+This subcommand wraps the two-step process to provision a new osd (calling
+``prepare`` first and then ``activate``) into a single
+one. The reason to prefer ``prepare`` and then ``activate`` is to gradually
+introduce new OSDs into a cluster, and avoiding large amounts of data being
+rebalanced.
+
+The single-call process unifies exactly what :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-prepare` and
+:ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-activate` do, with the convenience of doing it all at
+once.
+
+There is nothing different to the process except the OSD will become up and in
+immediately after completion.
+
+The backing objectstore can be specified with:
+
+* :ref:`--bluestore <ceph-volume-lvm-prepare_bluestore>`
+
+All command line flags and options are the same as ``ceph-volume lvm prepare``.
+Please refer to :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-prepare` for details.

+
+Encryption
+==========
+
+Logical volumes can be encrypted using ``dmcrypt`` by specifying the
+``--dmcrypt`` flag when creating OSDs. When using LVM, logical volumes can be
+encrypted in different ways. ``ceph-volume`` does not offer as many options as
+LVM does, but it encrypts logical volumes in a way that  is consistent and
+robust.
+
+In this case, ``ceph-volume lvm`` follows this constraint:
+
+* Non-LVM devices (such as partitions) are encrypted with the same OSD key.
+
+
+LUKS
+----
+There are currently two versions of LUKS, 1 and 2. Version 2 is a bit easier to
+implement but not widely available in all Linux distributions supported by
+Ceph. 
+
+.. note:: Version 1 of LUKS is referred to in this documentation as "LUKS".
+   Version 2 is of LUKS is referred to in this documentation as "LUKS2".
+
+
+LUKS on LVM
+-----------
+Encryption is done on top of existing logical volumes (this is not the same as
+encrypting the physical device). Any single logical volume can be encrypted,
+leaving other volumes unencrypted. This method also allows for flexible logical
+volume setups, since encryption will happen once the LV is created.
+
+
+Workflow
+--------
+When setting up the OSD, a secret key is created. That secret key is passed
+to the monitor in JSON format as ``stdin`` to prevent the key from being
+captured in the logs.
+
+The JSON payload looks something like this::
+
+        {
+            "cephx_secret": CEPHX_SECRET,
+            "dmcrypt_key": DMCRYPT_KEY,
+            "cephx_lockbox_secret": LOCKBOX_SECRET,
+        }
+
+The naming convention for the keys is **strict**, and they are named like that
+for the hardcoded (legacy) names used by ceph-disk.
+
+* ``cephx_secret`` : The cephx key used to authenticate
+* ``dmcrypt_key`` : The secret (or private) key to unlock encrypted devices
+* ``cephx_lockbox_secret`` : The authentication key used to retrieve the
+  ``dmcrypt_key``. It is named *lockbox* because ceph-disk used to have an
+  unencrypted partition named after it, which was used to store public keys and
+  other OSD metadata.
+
+The naming convention is strict because Monitors supported the naming
+convention of ceph-disk, which used these key names. In order to maintain 
+compatibility and prevent ceph-disk from breaking, ceph-volume uses the same
+naming convention *although it does not make sense for the new encryption
+workflow*.
+
+After the common steps of setting up the OSD during the "prepare stage" (
+with :term:`bluestore`), the logical volume is left ready
+to be activated, regardless of the state of the device (encrypted or
+decrypted).
+
+At the time of its activation, the logical volume is decrypted. The OSD starts
+after the process completes correctly.
+
+Summary of the encryption workflow for creating a new OSD
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+#. OSD is created. Both lockbox and dmcrypt keys are created and sent to the
+   monitors in JSON format, indicating an encrypted OSD.
+
+#. All complementary devices (like journal, db, or wal) get created and
+   encrypted with the same OSD key. Key is stored in the LVM metadata of the
+   OSD.
+
+#. Activation continues by ensuring devices are mounted, retrieving the dmcrypt
+   secret key from the monitors, and decrypting before the OSD gets started.

+For logical volumes the ``devices`` key is populated with the physical devices
+associated with the logical volume. Since LVM allows multiple physical devices
+to be part of a logical volume, the value will be comma separated when using
+``pretty``, but an array when using ``json``.
+
+.. note:: Tags are displayed in a readable format. The ``osd id`` key is stored
+          as a ``ceph.osd_id`` tag. For more information on lvm tag conventions
+          see :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-tag-api`
+
+Single Reporting
+----------------
+Single reporting can consume both devices and logical volumes as input
+(positional parameters). For logical volumes, it is required to use the group
+name as well as the logical volume name.
+
+For example the ``data-lv2`` logical volume, in the ``test_group`` volume group
+can be listed in the following way::
+
+    # ceph-volume lvm list test_group/data-lv2
+
+
+    ====== osd.1 =======
+
+      [data]    /dev/test_group/data-lv2
+
+          journal uuid              C65n7d-B1gy-cqX3-vZKY-ZoE0-IEYM-HnIJzs
+          osd id                    1
+          cluster fsid              ce454d91-d748-4751-a318-ff7f7aa18ffd
+          type                      data
+          osd fsid                  661b24f8-e062-482b-8110-826ffe7f13fa
+          data uuid                 SlEgHe-jX1H-QBQk-Sce0-RUls-8KlY-g8HgcZ
+          journal device            /dev/journals/journal1
+          data device               /dev/test_group/data-lv2
+          devices                   /dev/sdc
+
+
+.. note:: Tags are displayed in a readable format. The ``osd id`` key is stored
+          as a ``ceph.osd_id`` tag. For more information on lvm tag conventions
+          see :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-tag-api`
+
+
+For plain disks, the full path to the device is required. For example, for
+a device like ``/dev/sdd1`` it can look like::
+
+
+    # ceph-volume lvm list /dev/sdd1
+
+
+    ====== osd.0 =======
+
+      [journal]    /dev/sdd1
+
+          PARTUUID                  cd72bd28-002a-48da-bdf6-d5b993e84f3f
+
+
+
+``json`` output
+---------------
+All output using ``--format=json`` will show everything the system has stored
+as metadata for the devices, including tags.
+
+No changes for readability are done with ``json`` reporting, and all
+information is presented as-is. Full output as well as single devices can be
+listed.
+
+For brevity, this is how a single logical volume would look with ``json``
+output (note how tags aren't modified)::
+
+    # ceph-volume lvm list --format=json test_group/data-lv1
+    {
+        "0": [
+            {

+                    "ceph.type": "data"
+                },
+                "type": "data",
+                "vg_name": "test_group"
+            }
+        ]
+    }
+
+
+Synchronized information
+------------------------
+Before any listing type, the lvm API is queried to ensure that physical devices
+that may be in use haven't changed naming. It is possible that non-persistent
+devices like ``/dev/sda1`` could change to ``/dev/sdb1``.
+
+The detection is possible because the ``PARTUUID`` is stored as part of the
+metadata in the logical volume for the data lv. Even in the case of a journal
+that is a physical device, this information is still stored on the data logical
+volume associated with it.
+
+If the name is no longer the same (as reported by ``blkid`` when using the
+``PARTUUID``), the tag will get updated and the report will use the newly
+refreshed information.

+.. _ceph-volume-lvm-prepare:
+
+``prepare``
+===========
+Before you run ``ceph-volume lvm prepare``, we recommend that you provision a
+logical volume. Then you can run ``prepare`` on that logical volume. 
+
+``prepare`` adds metadata to logical volumes but does not alter them in any
+other way. 
+
+.. note:: This is part of a two-step process to deploy an OSD. If you prefer 
+   to deploy an OSD by using only one command, see :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-create`.
+
+``prepare`` uses :term:`LVM tags` to assign several pieces of metadata to a
+logical volume. Volumes tagged in this way are easier to identify and easier to
+use with Ceph. :term:`LVM tags` identify logical volumes by the role that they
+play in the Ceph cluster (for example: BlueStore data or BlueStore WAL+DB).
+
+:term:`BlueStore<bluestore>` is the default backend. Ceph permits changing
+the backend, which can be done by using the following flags and arguments:
+
+* :ref:`--bluestore <ceph-volume-lvm-prepare_bluestore>`
+
+.. _ceph-volume-lvm-prepare_bluestore:
+
+``bluestore``
+-------------
+:term:`Bluestore<bluestore>` is the default backend for new OSDs.  Bluestore
+supports the following configurations:
+
+* a block device, a block.wal device, and a block.db device
+* a block device and a block.wal device
+* a block device and a block.db device
+* a single block device
+
+The ``bluestore`` subcommand accepts physical block devices, partitions on physical
+block devices, or logical volumes as arguments for the various device
+parameters. If a physical block device is provided, a logical volume will be
+created. If the provided volume group's name begins with `ceph`, it will be
+created if it does not yet exist and it will be clobbered and reused if it
+already exists. This allows for a simpler approach to using LVM but at the
+cost of flexibility: no option or configuration can be used to change how the
+logical volume is created.
+
+The ``block`` is specified with the ``--data`` flag, and in its simplest use
+case it looks like:
+
+.. prompt:: bash #
+
+    ceph-volume lvm prepare --bluestore --data vg/lv
+
+A raw device can be specified in the same way:
+
+.. prompt:: bash #
+
+    ceph-volume lvm prepare --bluestore --data /path/to/device
+
+For enabling :ref:`encryption <ceph-volume-lvm-encryption>`, the ``--dmcrypt`` flag is required:
+
+.. prompt:: bash #
+
+    ceph-volume lvm prepare --bluestore --dmcrypt --data vg/lv
+
+If a ``block.db`` device or a ``block.wal`` device is needed, it can be
+specified with ``--block.db`` or ``--block.wal``. These can be physical
+devices, partitions, or logical volumes. ``block.db`` and ``block.wal`` are
+optional for bluestore.
+
+For both ``block.db`` and ``block.wal``, partitions can be used as-is, and 
+therefore are not made into logical volumes.
+
+While creating the OSD directory, the process uses a ``tmpfs`` mount to hold
+the files needed for the OSD. These files are created by ``ceph-osd --mkfs``
+and are ephemeral.
+
+A symlink is created for the ``block`` device, and is optional for ``block.db``
+and ``block.wal``. For a cluster with a default name and an OSD ID of 0, the
+directory looks like this::
+
+    # ls -l /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0
+    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 ceph ceph 93 Oct 20 13:05 block -> /dev/ceph-be2b6fbd-bcf2-4c51-b35d-a35a162a02f0/osd-block-25cf0a05-2bc6-44ef-9137-79d65bd7ad62
+    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 ceph ceph 93 Oct 20 13:05 block.db -> /dev/sda1
+    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 ceph ceph 93 Oct 20 13:05 block.wal -> /dev/ceph/osd-wal-0
+    -rw-------. 1 ceph ceph 37 Oct 20 13:05 ceph_fsid
+    -rw-------. 1 ceph ceph 37 Oct 20 13:05 fsid
+    -rw-------. 1 ceph ceph 55 Oct 20 13:05 keyring
+    -rw-------. 1 ceph ceph  6 Oct 20 13:05 ready
+    -rw-------. 1 ceph ceph 10 Oct 20 13:05 type
+    -rw-------. 1 ceph ceph  2 Oct 20 13:05 whoami
+
+In the above case, a device was used for ``block``, so ``ceph-volume`` created
+a volume group and a logical volume using the following conventions:
+
+* volume group name: ``ceph-{cluster fsid}`` (or if the volume group already
+  exists: ``ceph-{random uuid}``)
+
+* logical volume name: ``osd-block-{osd_fsid}``
+
+
+.. _ceph-volume-lvm-prepare_filestore:
+
+``filestore``
+-------------
+.. warning:: Filestore has been deprecated in the Reef release and is no longer supported.
+
+``Filestore<filestore>`` is the OSD backend that prepares logical volumes for a
+`filestore`-backed object-store OSD.
+
+
+``Filestore<filestore>`` uses a logical volume to store OSD data and it uses
+physical devices, partitions, or logical volumes to store the journal.  If a
+physical device is used to create a filestore backend, a logical volume will be
+created on that physical device. If the provided volume group's name begins
+with `ceph`, it will be created if it does not yet exist and it will be
+clobbered and reused if it already exists. No special preparation is needed for
+these volumes, but be sure to meet the minimum size requirements for OSD data and
+for the journal.
+
+Use the following command to create a basic filestore OSD:
+
+.. prompt:: bash #
+
+   ceph-volume lvm prepare --filestore --data <data block device>
+
+Use this command to deploy filestore with an external journal:
+
+.. prompt:: bash #
+
+   ceph-volume lvm prepare --filestore --data <data block device> --journal <journal block device>
+
+Use this command to enable :ref:`encryption <ceph-volume-lvm-encryption>`, and note that the ``--dmcrypt`` flag is required:
+
+.. prompt:: bash #
+
+   ceph-volume lvm prepare --filestore --dmcrypt --data <data block device> --journal <journal block device>
+
+The data block device and the journal can each take one of three forms: 
+
+* a physical block device
+* a partition on a physical block device
+* a logical volume
+
+If you use a logical volume to deploy filestore, the value that you pass in the
+command *must* be of the format ``volume_group/logical_volume_name``. Since logical
+volume names are not enforced for uniqueness, using this format is an important 
+safeguard against accidentally choosing the wrong volume (and clobbering its data).
+
+If you use a partition to deploy filestore, the partition *must* contain a
+``PARTUUID`` that can be discovered by ``blkid``. This ensures that the
+partition can be identified correctly regardless of the device's name (or path).
+
+For example, to use a logical volume for OSD data and a partition
+(``/dev/sdc1``) for the journal, run a command of this form:
+
+.. prompt:: bash #
+
+   ceph-volume lvm prepare --filestore --data volume_group/logical_volume_name --journal /dev/sdc1
+
+Or, to use a bare device for data and a logical volume for the journal:
+
+.. prompt:: bash #
+
+   ceph-volume lvm prepare --filestore --data /dev/sdc --journal volume_group/journal_lv
+
+A generated UUID is used when asking the cluster for a new OSD. These two
+pieces of information (the OSD ID and the OSD UUID) are necessary for
+identifying a given OSD and will later be used throughout the
+:ref:`activation<ceph-volume-lvm-activate>` process.
+
+The OSD data directory is created using the following convention::
+
+    /var/lib/ceph/osd/<cluster name>-<osd id>
+
+To link the journal volume to the mounted data volume, use this command:
+
+.. prompt:: bash #
+
+   ln -s /path/to/journal /var/lib/ceph/osd/<cluster_name>-<osd-id>/journal
+
+To fetch the monmap by using the bootstrap key from the OSD, use this command:
+
+.. prompt:: bash #
+
+   /usr/bin/ceph --cluster ceph --name client.bootstrap-osd --keyring
+   /var/lib/ceph/bootstrap-osd/ceph.keyring mon getmap -o
+   /var/lib/ceph/osd/<cluster name>-<osd id>/activate.monmap
+
+To populate the OSD directory (which has already been mounted), use this ``ceph-osd`` command:  
+.. prompt:: bash #
+
+   ceph-osd --cluster ceph --mkfs --mkkey -i <osd id> \ --monmap
+   /var/lib/ceph/osd/<cluster name>-<osd id>/activate.monmap --osd-data \
+   /var/lib/ceph/osd/<cluster name>-<osd id> --osd-journal
+   /var/lib/ceph/osd/<cluster name>-<osd id>/journal \ --osd-uuid <osd uuid>
+   --keyring /var/lib/ceph/osd/<cluster name>-<osd id>/keyring \ --setuser ceph
+   --setgroup ceph
+
+All of the information from the previous steps is used in the above command.      
+
+
+
+.. _ceph-volume-lvm-partitions:
+
+Partitioning
+------------
+``ceph-volume lvm`` does not currently create partitions from a whole device.
+If using device partitions the only requirement is that they contain the
+``PARTUUID`` and that it is discoverable by ``blkid``. Both ``fdisk`` and
+``parted`` will create that automatically for a new partition.
+
+For example, using a new, unformatted drive (``/dev/sdd`` in this case) we can
+use ``parted`` to create a new partition. First we list the device
+information::
+
+    $ parted --script /dev/sdd print
+    Model: VBOX HARDDISK (scsi)
+    Disk /dev/sdd: 11.5GB
+    Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
+    Disk Flags:
+
+This device is not even labeled yet, so we can use ``parted`` to create
+a ``gpt`` label before we create a partition, and verify again with ``parted
+print``::
+
+    $ parted --script /dev/sdd mklabel gpt
+    $ parted --script /dev/sdd print
+    Model: VBOX HARDDISK (scsi)
+    Disk /dev/sdd: 11.5GB
+    Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
+    Partition Table: gpt
+    Disk Flags:
+
+Now lets create a single partition, and verify later if ``blkid`` can find
+a ``PARTUUID`` that is needed by ``ceph-volume``::
+
+    $ parted --script /dev/sdd mkpart primary 1 100%
+    $ blkid /dev/sdd1
+    /dev/sdd1: PARTLABEL="primary" PARTUUID="16399d72-1e1f-467d-96ee-6fe371a7d0d4"
+
+
+.. _ceph-volume-lvm-existing-osds:
+
+Existing OSDs
+-------------
+For existing clusters that want to use this new system and have OSDs that are
+already running there are a few things to take into account:
+
+.. warning:: this process will forcefully format the data device, destroying
+             existing data, if any.
+
+* OSD paths should follow this convention::
+
+     /var/lib/ceph/osd/<cluster name>-<osd id>
+
+* Preferably, no other mechanisms to mount the volume should exist, and should
+  be removed (like fstab mount points)
+
+The one time process for an existing OSD, with an ID of 0 and using
+a ``"ceph"`` cluster name would look like (the following command will **destroy
+any data** in the OSD)::
+
+    ceph-volume lvm prepare --filestore --osd-id 0 --osd-fsid E3D291C1-E7BF-4984-9794-B60D9FA139CB
+
+The command line tool will not contact the monitor to generate an OSD ID and
+will format the LVM device in addition to storing the metadata on it so that it
+can be started later (for detailed metadata description see
+:ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-tags`).
+
+
+Crush device class
+------------------
+
+To set the crush device class for the OSD, use the ``--crush-device-class`` flag. 
+
+    ceph-volume lvm prepare --bluestore --data vg/lv --crush-device-class foo
+
+
+.. _ceph-volume-lvm-multipath:
+
+``multipath`` support
+---------------------
+``multipath`` devices are supported if ``lvm`` is configured properly.
+
+**Leave it to LVM**
+
+Most Linux distributions should ship their LVM2 package with
+``multipath_component_detection = 1`` in the default configuration. With this
+setting ``LVM`` ignores any device that is a multipath component and
+``ceph-volume`` will accordingly not touch these devices.
+
+**Using filters**
+
+Should this setting be unavailable, a correct ``filter`` expression must be
+provided in ``lvm.conf``. ``ceph-volume`` must not be able to use both the
+multipath device and its multipath components.
+
+Storing metadata
+----------------
+The following tags will get applied as part of the preparation process
+regardless of the type of volume (journal or data) or OSD objectstore:
+
+* ``cluster_fsid``
+* ``encrypted``
+* ``osd_fsid``
+* ``osd_id``
+* ``crush_device_class``
+
+For :term:`bluestore` these tags will be added:
+
+* ``block_device``
+* ``block_uuid``
+* ``db_device``
+* ``db_uuid``
+* ``wal_device``
+* ``wal_uuid``
+
+.. note:: For the complete lvm tag conventions see :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-tag-api`
+
+
+Summary
+-------
+To recap the ``prepare`` process for :term:`bluestore`:
+
+#. Accepts raw physical devices, partitions on physical devices or logical volumes as arguments.
+#. Creates logical volumes on any raw physical devices.
+#. Generate a UUID for the OSD
+#. Ask the monitor get an OSD ID reusing the generated UUID
+#. OSD data directory is created on a tmpfs mount.
+#. ``block``, ``block.wal``, and ``block.db`` are symlinked if defined.
+#. monmap is fetched for activation
+#. Data directory is populated by ``ceph-osd``
+#. Logical Volumes are assigned all the Ceph metadata using lvm tags

+scan
+====
+This sub-command will allow to discover Ceph volumes previously setup by the
+tool by looking into the system's logical volumes and their tags.
+
+As part of the :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-prepare` process, the logical volumes are assigned
+a few tags with important pieces of information.

+Upon startup, it will identify the logical volume using :term:`LVM tags`,
+finding a matching ID and later ensuring it is the right one with
+the :term:`OSD uuid`.
+
+After identifying the correct volume it will then proceed to mount it by using
+the OSD destination conventions, that is::
+
+    /var/lib/ceph/osd/<cluster name>-<osd id>
+
+For our example OSD with an id of ``0``, that means the identified device will
+be mounted at::
+
+
+    /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0
+
+
+Once that process is complete, a call will be made to start the OSD::
+
+    systemctl start ceph-osd@0
+
+The systemd portion of this process is handled by the ``ceph-volume lvm
+trigger`` sub-command, which is only in charge of parsing metadata coming from
+systemd and startup, and then dispatching to ``ceph-volume lvm activate`` which
+would proceed with activation.

+.. _ceph-volume-lvm-zap:
+
+``zap``
+=======
+
+This subcommand is used to zap lvs, partitions or raw devices that have been used
+by ceph OSDs so that they may be reused. If given a path to a logical
+volume it must be in the format of vg/lv. Any file systems present
+on the given lv or partition will be removed and all data will be purged.
+
+.. note:: The lv or partition will be kept intact.
+
+.. note:: If the logical volume, raw device or partition is being used for any ceph related
+          mount points they will be unmounted.
+
+Zapping a logical volume::
+
+    ceph-volume lvm zap {vg name/lv name}
+
+Zapping a partition::
+
+    ceph-volume lvm zap /dev/sdc1
+
+Removing Devices
+----------------
+When zapping, and looking for full removal of the device (lv, vg, or partition)
+use the ``--destroy`` flag. A common use case is to simply deploy OSDs using
+a whole raw device. If you do so and then wish to reuse that device for another
+OSD you must use the ``--destroy`` flag when zapping so that the vgs and lvs
+that ceph-volume created on the raw device will be removed.
+
+.. note:: Multiple devices can be accepted at once, to zap them all
+
+Zapping a raw device and destroying any vgs or lvs present::
+
+    ceph-volume lvm zap /dev/sdc --destroy
+
+
+This action can be performed on partitions, and logical volumes as well::
+
+    ceph-volume lvm zap /dev/sdc1 --destroy
+    ceph-volume lvm zap osd-vg/data-lv --destroy
+
+
+Finally, multiple devices can be detected if filtering by OSD ID and/or OSD
+FSID. Either identifier can be used or both can be used at the same time. This
+is useful in situations where multiple devices associated with a specific ID
+need to be purged. When using the FSID, the filtering is stricter, and might
+not match other (possibly invalid) devices associated to an ID.
+
+By ID only::
+
+    ceph-volume lvm zap --destroy --osd-id 1
+
+By FSID::
+
+    ceph-volume lvm zap --destroy --osd-fsid 2E8FBE58-0328-4E3B-BFB7-3CACE4E9A6CE
+
+By both::
+
+    ceph-volume lvm zap --destroy --osd-fsid 2E8FBE58-0328-4E3B-BFB7-3CACE4E9A6CE --osd-id 1
+
+
+.. warning:: If the systemd unit associated with the OSD ID to be zapped is
+             detected as running, the tool will refuse to zap until the daemon is stopped.
