+=============================
+ Basic Block Device Commands
+=============================
+
+.. index:: Ceph Block Device; image management
+
+The ``rbd`` command enables you to create, list, introspect and remove block
+device images. You can also use it to clone images, create snapshots,
+rollback an image to a snapshot, view a snapshot, etc. For details on using
+the ``rbd`` command, see `RBD – Manage RADOS Block Device (RBD) Images`_ for
+details.
+
+.. important:: To use Ceph Block Device commands, you must have access to
+ a running Ceph cluster.
+
+Create a Block Device Pool
+==========================
+
+#. Use the ``ceph`` tool to `create a pool`_.
+
+#. Use the ``rbd`` tool to initialize the pool for use by RBD:
+
+ .. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd pool init <pool-name>
+
+ .. note:: The ``rbd`` tool assumes a default pool name of 'rbd' if no pool
+ name is specified in the command.
+
+
+Create a Block Device User
+==========================
+
+Unless otherwise specified, the ``rbd`` command uses the Ceph user ID ``admin``
+to access the Ceph cluster. The ``admin`` Ceph user ID allows full
+administrative access to the cluster. We recommend that you acess the Ceph
+cluster with a Ceph user ID that has fewer permissions than the ``admin`` Ceph
+user ID does. We call this non-``admin`` Ceph user ID a "block device user" or
+"Ceph user".
+
+To `create a Ceph user`_, use the ``ceph auth get-or-create`` command to
+specify the Ceph user ID name, monitor caps (capabilities), and OSD caps
+(capabilities):
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ ceph auth get-or-create client.{ID} mon 'profile rbd' osd 'profile {profile name} [pool={pool-name}][, profile ...]' mgr 'profile rbd [pool={pool-name}]'
+
+For example: to create a Ceph user ID named ``qemu`` that has read-write access
+to the pool ``vms`` and read-only access to the pool ``images``, run the
+following command:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ ceph auth get-or-create client.qemu mon 'profile rbd' osd 'profile rbd pool=vms, profile rbd-read-only pool=images' mgr 'profile rbd pool=images'
+
+The output from the ``ceph auth get-or-create`` command is the keyring for the
+specified Ceph user ID, which can be written to
+``/etc/ceph/ceph.client.{ID}.keyring``.
+
+.. note:: Specify the Ceph user ID by providing the ``--id {id} argument when
+ using the ``rbd`` command. This argument is optional.
+
+Creating a Block Device Image
+=============================
+
+Before you can add a block device to a node, you must create an image for it in
+the :term:`Ceph Storage Cluster`. To create a block device image, run a command of this form:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd create --size {megabytes} {pool-name}/{image-name}
+
+For example, to create a 1GB image named ``bar`` that stores information in a
+pool named ``swimmingpool``, run this command:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd create --size 1024 swimmingpool/bar
+
+If you don't specify a pool when you create an image, then the image will be
+stored in the default pool ``rbd``. For example, if you ran this command, you
+would create a 1GB image named ``foo`` that is stored in the default pool
+``rbd``:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd create --size 1024 foo
+
+.. note:: You must create a pool before you can specify it as a source. See
+ `Storage Pools`_ for details.
+
+Listing Block Device Images
+===========================
+
+To list block devices in the ``rbd`` pool, run the following command:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd ls
+
+.. note:: ``rbd`` is the default pool name, and ``rbd ls`` lists the commands
+ in the default pool.
+
+To list block devices in a particular pool, run the following command, but
+replace ``{poolname}`` with the name of the pool:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd ls {poolname}
+
+For example:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd ls swimmingpool
+
+To list "deferred delete" block devices in the ``rbd`` pool, run the
+following command:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd trash ls
+
+To list "deferred delete" block devices in a particular pool, run the
+following command, but replace ``{poolname}`` with the name of the pool:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd trash ls {poolname}
+
+For example:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd trash ls swimmingpool
+
+Retrieving Image Information
+============================
+
+To retrieve information from a particular image, run the following command, but
+replace ``{image-name}`` with the name for the image:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd info {image-name}
+
+For example:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd info foo
+
+To retrieve information from an image within a pool, run the following command,
+but replace ``{image-name}`` with the name of the image and replace
+``{pool-name}`` with the name of the pool:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd info {pool-name}/{image-name}
+
+For example:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd info swimmingpool/bar
+
+.. note:: Other naming conventions are possible, and might conflict with the
+ naming convention described here. For example, ``userid/<uuid>`` is a
+ possible name for an RBD image, and such a name might (at the least) be
+ confusing.
+
+Resizing a Block Device Image
+=============================
+
+:term:`Ceph Block Device` images are thin provisioned. They don't actually use
+any physical storage until you begin saving data to them. However, they do have
+a maximum capacity that you set with the ``--size`` option. If you want to
+increase (or decrease) the maximum size of a Ceph Block Device image, run one
+of the following commands:
+
+Increasing the Size of a Block Device Image
+-------------------------------------------
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd resize --size 2048 foo
+
+Decreasing the Size of a Block Device Image
+-------------------------------------------
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd resize --size 2048 foo --allow-shrink
+
+
+Removing a Block Device Image
+=============================
+
+To remove a block device, run the following command, but replace
+``{image-name}`` with the name of the image you want to remove:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd rm {image-name}
+
+For example:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd rm foo
+
+Removing a Block Device from a Pool
+-----------------------------------
+
+To remove a block device from a pool, run the following command but replace
+``{image-name}`` with the name of the image to be removed, and replace
+``{pool-name}`` with the name of the pool from which the image is to be
+removed:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd rm {pool-name}/{image-name}
+
+For example:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd rm swimmingpool/bar
+
+"Defer Deleting" a Block Device from a Pool
+-------------------------------------------
+
+To defer delete a block device from a pool (which entails moving it to the
+"trash" and deleting it later), run the following command but replace
+``{image-name}`` with the name of the image to be moved to the trash and
+replace ``{pool-name}`` with the name of the pool:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd trash mv {pool-name}/{image-name}
+
+For example:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd trash mv swimmingpool/bar
+
+Removing a Deferred Block Device from a Pool
+--------------------------------------------
+
+To remove a deferred block device from a pool, run the following command but
+replace ``{image-}`` with the ID of the image to be removed, and replace
+``{pool-name}`` with the name of the pool from which the image is to be
+removed:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd trash rm {pool-name}/{image-}
+
+For example:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd trash rm swimmingpool/2bf4474b0dc51
+
+.. note::
+
+ * You can move an image to the trash even if it has snapshot(s) or is
+ actively in use by clones. However, you cannot remove it from the trash
+ under those conditions.
+
+ * You can use ``--expires-at`` to set the deferment time (default is
+ ``now``). If the deferment time has not yet arrived, you cannot remove the
+ image unless you use ``--force``.
+
+Restoring a Block Device Image
+==============================
+
+To restore a deferred delete block device in the rbd pool, run the
+following command but replace ``{image-id}`` with the ID of the image:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd trash restore {image-id}
+
+For example:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd trash restore 2bf4474b0dc51
+
+Restoring a Block Device Image in a Specific Pool
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+To restore a deferred delete block device in a particular pool, run the
+following command but replace ``{image-id}`` with the ID of the image and
+replace ``{pool-name}`` with the name of the pool:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd trash restore {pool-name}/{image-id}
+
+For example:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd trash restore swimmingpool/2bf4474b0dc51
+
+
+Renaming an Image While Restoring It
+------------------------------------
+
+You can also use ``--image`` to rename the image while restoring it.
+
+For example:
+
+.. prompt:: bash $
+
+ rbd trash restore swimmingpool/2bf4474b0dc51 --image new-name
