Changes have been merged, so the new command is not officially required to provision the Ceph storage-backend.

<b>Subject:</b> [Starlingx-discuss] Changes to Ceph storage backend provisioning</font>
<div> </div>

<div dir="ltr">
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Hello guys.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
I have been working on a feature to make provisioning of Ceph storage backend optional and the changes will soon merge. Reviews: [1], [2], [3] and [4].
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
The main purpose of this feature is to allow STX to be installed on systems with a limited number of resources (CPU and RAM mainly, but also hard-drives). If people want to deploy applications that don't require any persistent storage, ceph shouldn't consume
RAM and CPU time.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<b>IMPORTANT: </b>The stx-openstack application requires persistent storage, and thus requires a ceph storage backend.<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
This change adds a new command that needs to run after the ansible bootstrap, in order to provision the ceph storage backend. The command is:</div>
<blockquote style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<b>system storage-backend-add ceph --confirmed</b></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
These changes are also documented in review [4]. <b><br>
</b></div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
There is also the option for users to install a full system <b>without</b> provisioning the Ceph storage backend and then provision it later using the same command.
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Make sure you update your workflow to take into account this new command. If you encounter any bugs or issues once these changes are merged, feel free to send me an email.</div>
