1 | .. _ceph-volume-lvm-create: |
2 | ||
3 | ``create`` | |
4 | =========== | |
5 | This subcommand wraps the two-step process to provision a new osd (calling | |
6 | ``prepare`` first and then ``activate``) into a single | |
7 | one. The reason to prefer ``prepare`` and then ``activate`` is to gradually | |
8 | introduce new OSDs into a cluster, and avoiding large amounts of data being | |
9 | rebalanced. | |
10 | ||
11 | The single-call process unifies exactly what :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-prepare` and | |
12 | :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-activate` do, with the convenience of doing it all at | |
13 | once. | |
14 | ||
15 | There is nothing different to the process except the OSD will become up and in | |
16 | immediately after completion. | |

18 | The backing objectstore can be specified with: | |

22 | All command line flags and options are the same as ``ceph-volume lvm prepare``. | |
23 | Please refer to :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-prepare` for details. |
