    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
    <para>
      ctdb_mutex_ceph_rados_helper can be used as a cluster lock provider
      for CTDB.  When configured, split brain avoidance during CTDB recovery
      will be handled using locks against an object located in a Ceph RADOS
      pool.
      To enable this functionality, include the following line in the
      <literal>[cluster]</literal> section of
      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>ctdb.conf</refentrytitle>
      <manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>:
    </para>
    <screen format="linespecific">
cluster lock = !ctdb_mutex_ceph_rados_helper [Cluster] [User] [Pool] [Object]

Cluster: Ceph cluster name (e.g. ceph)
User: Ceph cluster user name (e.g. client.admin)
Pool: Ceph RADOS pool name
Object: Ceph RADOS object name
    </screen>
    <para>
      The Ceph cluster <parameter>Cluster</parameter> must be up and running,
      with a configuration, and keyring file for <parameter>User</parameter>
      located in a librados default search path (e.g. /etc/ceph/).
      <parameter>Pool</parameter> must already exist.
    </para>
    <para>
      For informational purposes, ctdb_mutex_ceph_rados_helper will also
      register the cluster lock holder in Ceph Manager's service map.
