I have a supermicro 12 bay server that I installed Rocky Linux 8.10 and Houston UI on to. I want to install ceph but there is no tab on the left side menu of Houston for ceph. I was really looking forward to using their ui. Is this because I am not running 45drives hardware or did I do something wrong?
Hi,
You will need to install cockpit-ceph-deploy from our repo and then refresh the page. Once done the tab will show up.
The 1 main issue you will run into is the aliasing of the drives so you will need to manually alias the drive bays using the dalias tool

I got past it I think. I am stuck on
CEPH Core Deployment: Step 2 - Ansible Playbook - core.yml (/usr/share/ceph-ansible/core.yml)
I get to this point when it stops

What do I need to do?
Hi,
It looks like you do not have any disks defined in your /usr/share/ceph-ansible/host_vars/ files so ceph can not make OSDs
