Ceph client installation

If any possibility to install a ceph client in petasan cluster.

If you mean using a Linux client to access PetaSAN directly using Ceph rather than standard protocols ( iSCSI, NFS..):

Any Linux OS with recent kernel has built in support to access rbd and cephfs. You do not need to install any packages. You do need to copy the /etc/ceph dir which has configuration of ips as well as security key to access cluster.

If you need to run Ceph admin commands, you need to install ceph-common package on your Linux OS. Preferably a Ceph Quincy but even older versions will work.

I mean, want to use ceph export instead of nfs export through ceph client
