Hi@MD,

To use Ceph, follow the below given steps.

1. Install the RADOS object server:

    sudo python setup.py install
   

2. Modify your object-server.conf to use the new object server:

    [app:object-server]
    use = egg:swift_ceph_backend#rados_object
   

3. Set the user and pool for Ceph in the [DEFAULT] section in the same file:

    [DEFAULT]
    rados_user = swift
    rados_pool = swift

Hope this will work.

Thank You
