using cli with ceph commands

One hint for those who wish to use the command line/ssh and run Ceph commands is to append the cluster name parameter (for commands that work on the cluster), example:

ceph status  --cluster CLUSTER_NAME

where CLUSTER_NAME is the cluster name specified when creating the cluster in the Deployment Wizard (step 2).

This is often overlooked since the majority of manual Ceph installations do not bother with naming the Ceph cluster, and the default name is simply "ceph". So this param is rarely used in documentation.

Naming the cluster will make things cleaner for example when deploying several remote clusters and performing disk mirroring which we intend to support in the ui.
