.. important:: To use Ceph Block Device commands, you must have access to
a running Ceph cluster.
+Create a Block Device Pool
+==========================
+
+#. On the admin node, use the ``ceph`` tool to `create a pool`_.
+
+#. On the admin node, use the ``rbd`` tool to initialize the pool for use by RBD::
+
+ rbd pool init <pool-name>
+
+.. note:: The ``rbd`` tool assumes a default pool name of 'rbd' when not
+ provided.
+
+Create a Block Device User
+==========================
+
+Unless specified, the ``rbd`` command will access the Ceph cluster using the ID
+``admin``. This ID allows full administrative access to the cluster. It is
+recommended that you utilize a more restricted user wherever possible.
+
+To `create a Ceph user`_, with ``ceph`` specify the ``auth get-or-create``
+command, user name, monitor caps, and OSD caps::
+
+ ceph auth get-or-create client.{ID} mon 'profile rbd' osd 'profile {profile name} [pool={pool-name}][, profile ...]'
+
+For example, to create a user ID named ``qemu`` with read-write access to the
+pool ``vms`` and read-only access to the pool ``images``, execute the
+following::
+
+ ceph auth get-or-create client.qemu mon 'profile rbd' osd 'profile rbd pool=vms, profile rbd-read-only pool=images'
+
+The output from the ``ceph auth get-or-create`` command will be the keyring for
+the specified user, which can be written to ``/etc/ceph/ceph.client.{ID}.keyring``.
+
+.. note:: The user ID can be specified when using the ``rbd`` command by
+ providing the ``--id {id}`` optional argument.
Creating a Block Device Image
=============================
the following::
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``, execute the following::
For example::
rbd ls swimmingpool
-
+
+To list deferred delete block devices in the ``rbd`` pool, execute the
+following::
+
+ rbd trash ls
+
+To list deferred delete block devices in a particular pool, execute the
+following, but replace ``{poolname}`` with the name of the pool::
+
+ rbd trash ls {poolname}
+
+For example::
+
+ rbd trash ls swimmingpool
+
Retrieving Image Information
============================
with the name of the image you want to remove::
rbd rm {image-name}
-
+
For example::
rbd rm foo
-
+
To remove a block device from a pool, execute the following, but replace
``{image-name}`` with the name of the image to remove and replace
``{pool-name}`` with the name of the pool::
rbd rm {pool-name}/{image-name}
-
+
For example::
rbd rm swimmingpool/bar
+To defer delete a block device from a pool, execute the following, but
+replace ``{image-name}`` with the name of the image to move and replace
+``{pool-name}`` with the name of the pool::
+
+ rbd trash mv {pool-name}/{image-name}
+
+For example::
+
+ rbd trash mv swimmingpool/bar
+
+To remove a deferred block device from a pool, execute the following, but
+replace ``{image-id}`` with the id of the image to remove and replace
+``{pool-name}`` with the name of the pool::
+
+ rbd trash rm {pool-name}/{image-id}
+
+For example::
+
+ rbd trash rm swimmingpool/2bf4474b0dc51
+
+.. note::
+
+ * You can move an image to the trash even it has shapshot(s) or actively
+ in-use by clones, but can not be removed from trash.
+
+ * You can use *--delay* to set the defer time (default is 0), and if its
+ deferment time has not expired, it can not be removed unless you use
+ force.
+
+Restoring a Block Device Image
+==============================
+
+To restore a deferred delete block device in the rbd pool, execute the
+following, but replace ``{image-id}`` with the id of the image::
+
+ rbd trash restore {image-d}
+
+For example::
+
+ rbd trash restore 2bf4474b0dc51
+
+To restore a deferred delete block device in a particular pool, execute
+the following, but replace ``{image-id}`` with the id of the image and
+replace ``{pool-name}`` with the name of the pool::
+
+ rbd trash restore {pool-name}/{image-id}
+
+For example::
+
+ rbd trash restore swimmingpool/2bf4474b0dc51
+
+Also you can use *--image* to rename the iamge when restore it, for
+example::
+
+ rbd trash restore swimmingpool/2bf4474b0dc51 --image new-name
