Command Line - Create a disk on Ceph storage

[dpearceFL]

I need to create a new VM (250+ actually) that uses Ceph storage.

To create a disk on non-Ceph storage:

echo "----- Creating the disk -----"
qemu-img create -f qcow2 $DISK $STORAGE_SIZE

How do I create a disk on Ceph storage?

If its already part of PVE (ie under PVE control):
pvesm alloc <storage> <vmid> <filename> <size> [OPTIONS]

if you still want to use qemu-img
qemu-img create -f raw rbd:{pool-name}/{image-name} {size}

(you can always read the docs https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/rbd/qemu-rbd)
