For more information about SSD-backed journals, see Storage on Storage Hosts <storage-hosts-storage-on-storage-hosts>.

A storage host with a solid-state drive (SSD) or Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) drive is required.

To create or edit an SSD-backed journal, you must lock the host. The system must have at least two other unlocked hosts with Ceph monitors. (Ceph monitors run on controller-0, controller-1, and storage-0 only).

  1. Lock the host to prepare it for configuration changes.

    On the Hosts tab of the Host Inventory page, open the drop-down list for the host, and then select Lock Host.

    The host is locked and reported as Locked, Disabled, and Online.

  2. Open the Host Detail page for the host.

    To open the Host Detail page, click the name of the host on the Hosts tab of the Host Inventory page.

  3. Select the Storage tab to view the Disks and Storage Functions for the host.
