IBM Storage Ceph Workshop
Course Description
Overview
This course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of how to plan, deploy, configure, and manage IBM Storage Ceph in enterprise environments. Through lectures, demonstrations, and extensive hands-on exercises, students will gain practical skills for working with Ceph's distributed storage architecture. Key topics include cluster deployment, administration, data protection, and performance optimization, as well as using Ceph for object, block, and file storage workloads. By the end of the course, students will be equipped to integrate Ceph into enterprise infrastructures and operate it effectively in production environments.
Objectives
- Summarize the Ceph architecture, cluster components, and storage constructs, and differentiate client and administrator access interfaces.
- Deploy and expand an IBM Storage Ceph cluster using cephadm and command-line tools to meet application storage requirements.
- Compare and evaluate the different Ceph management interfaces for operational tasks.
- Configure Ceph storage pools, OSDs, and authentication mechanisms, including replicated and erasure-coded pools and CephX user authorization.
- Implement RADOS Gateway object storage, including multisite configuration for geographically redundant access.
- Explain Ceph block storage principles and configure RBD devices with NVMe/TCP integration.
- Configure CephFS to provide file storage, implement advanced features such as snapshots, replication, memory management, and client access.
- Administer and update the CRUSH map and OSD maps to manage data placement and protection policies.
- Analyze Ceph cluster performance, tune resources, and troubleshoot storage-related issues.
- Describe how Ceph integrates with Red Hat OpenStack and OpenShift to support storage requirements for each platform.

Self-Paced Training Terms & Conditions
This is a Self-Paced virtual class; it is intended for students who do not need the support of a classroom instructor.
If you feel you would better benefit from having access to a Subject Matter Expert, please enroll in the Instructor-Led version instead. Minimal technical support is provided to address issues with accessing the platform or problems within the lab environment.
Before you enroll, review the system requirements to ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for this course. AFTER YOU ARE ENROLLED IN THIS COURSE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CANCEL YOUR ENROLLMENT. You are billed for the course when you submit the enrollment form. Self-Paced Virtual Classes are non-refundable. Once you purchase a Self-Paced Virtual Class, you will be charged the full price.
After you receive payment confirmation from LearnQuest, you will be sent further access instructions and time limits for your course from IBM.
IMPORTANT!!! If your course provides access to a hands-on lab (Virtual Lab Environment), you will have a specific number of days (varies course by course) on the remote lab platform to complete your hands-on labs. Do not start your lab until you are ready to use your lab time effectively. Time allotted in the virtual lab environment will be indicated once you log into your course. The self-paced format gives you the opportunity to complete the course at your convenience, at any location, and at your own pace. The course is available 24 hours a day.
If the course requires a remote lab system, the lab system access is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. When you are not using the elab system, ensure that you suspend your elab to maximize your hours available to use the elab system. Note: This does not add additional days to your Lab Environment time frame.
