Perform the following steps for setting up the VSM environment:

1. The Vagrantfile for launching the VSM virtual machines is available on the Ceph-Designing-and-Implementing-Scalable-Storage-Systems GitHub repository. Clone this repository, if you have not already done so:

        $ git clone [email protected]:PacktPublishing/Ceph-Designing-and-Implementing-Scalable-Storage-Systems.git

2. Vagrantfile for launching the VSM nodes is located on the vsm directory:

        $ cd vsm

3. Launch the virtual machines:

        $ vagrant up vsm-controller vsm-node1 vsm-node2 vsm-node3

4. Once the virtual machines are launched, you should have four virtual machines running with proper networking in place:

To log in to these VMs, use cephuser as both the username and password. For a root login, the password is vagrant. Vagrant automates the networking between these VMs with the following details:

        192.168.123.100 vsm-controller
        192.168.123.101 vsm-node1
        192.168.123.102 vsm-node2
        192.168.123.103 vsm-node3
