+============================
+ Add/Remove Metadata Server
+============================
+
+With ``ceph-deploy``, adding and removing metadata servers is a simple task. You
+just add or remove one or more metadata servers on the command line with one
+command.
+
+.. important:: You must deploy at least one metadata server to use CephFS.
+    There is experimental support for running multiple metadata servers.
+    Do not run multiple active metadata servers in production.
+
+See `MDS Config Reference`_ for details on configuring metadata servers.
+
+
+Add a Metadata Server
+=====================
+
+Once you deploy monitors and OSDs you may deploy the metadata server(s). ::
+
+       ceph-deploy mds create {host-name}[:{daemon-name}] [{host-name}[:{daemon-name}] ...]
+
+You may specify a daemon instance a name (optional) if you would like to run
+multiple daemons on a single server.
+
+
+Remove a Metadata Server
+========================
+
+Coming soon...
+
+.. If you have a metadata server in your cluster that you'd like to remove, you may use 
+.. the ``destroy`` option. :: 
+
+..     ceph-deploy mds destroy {host-name}[:{daemon-name}] [{host-name}[:{daemon-name}] ...]
+
+.. You may specify a daemon instance a name (optional) if you would like to destroy
+.. a particular daemon that runs on a single server with multiple MDS daemons.
+ 
+.. .. note:: Ensure that if you remove a metadata server, the remaining metadata
+   servers will be able to service requests from CephFS clients. If that is not
+   possible, consider adding a metadata server before destroying the metadata 
+   server you would like to take offline.
