Description of problem: Red Hat Storage Console (RHS-C) currently lacks a tool/plugin that helps the user to detect candidate (unused) disks, format disks as bricks, mount them, etc. This leaves the admins at a disadvantage when creating a brick as part of volume creation. They will have to go to the RHS servers and perform these tasks manually and keep the bricks ready (xfs formatted & mounted) before proceeding with creating volume from the UI. Paul Cuzner has developed a gluster-deploy tool [1] which now provides the following: - detect gluster nodes - create cluster - distribute ssh keys - detect candidate (unused) disks - format disks as bricks, and mount them Since developing a new plugin with this feature or integrating the gluster-deploy tool with RHS-C is not practically possible at this stage, as we are very close to code freeze, this BZ proposes the inclusion of the gluster-deploy tool to be part of the unsupported toolset shipped with RHS 2.x. Having this tool as part of RHS provide an option to the user for creating/formatting/mounting bricks, if required. [1] https://forge.gluster.org/gluster-deploy/gluster-deploy
