:orphan: ======================================================= ceph-volume -- Ceph OSD deployment and inspection tool ======================================================= .. program:: ceph-volume Synopsis ======== **ceph-volume** [-h] [--cluster CLUSTER] [--log-level LOG_LEVEL] [--log-path LOG_PATH] **ceph-volume** **inventory** **ceph-volume** **lvm** [ *trigger* | *create* | *activate* | *prepare* | *zap* | *list* | *batch* | *new-wal* | *new-db* | *migrate* ] **ceph-volume** **simple** [ *trigger* | *scan* | *activate* ] Description =========== :program:`ceph-volume` is a single purpose command line tool to deploy logical volumes as OSDs, trying to maintain a similar API to ``ceph-disk`` when preparing, activating, and creating OSDs. It deviates from ``ceph-disk`` by not interacting or relying on the udev rules that come installed for Ceph. These rules allow automatic detection of previously setup devices that are in turn fed into ``ceph-disk`` to activate them. Commands ======== inventory --------- .. program:: ceph-volume inventory This subcommand provides information about a host's physical disc inventory and reports metadata about these discs. Among this metadata one can find disc specific data items (like model, size, rotational or solid state) as well as data items specific to ceph using a device, such as if it is available for use with ceph or if logical volumes are present. Examples:: ceph-volume inventory ceph-volume inventory /dev/sda ceph-volume inventory --format json-pretty Optional arguments: .. option:: -h, --help show the help message and exit .. option:: --format report format, valid values are ``plain`` (default), ``json`` and ``json-pretty`` lvm --- .. program:: ceph-volume lvm By making use of LVM tags, the ``lvm`` sub-command is able to store and later re-discover and query devices associated with OSDs so that they can later activated. Subcommands: batch ^^^^^ .. program:: ceph-volume lvm batch Creates OSDs from a list of devices using a ``bluestore`` (default) setup. It will create all necessary volume groups and logical volumes required to have a working OSD. Example usage with three devices:: ceph-volume lvm batch --bluestore /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc Optional arguments: .. option:: -h, --help show the help message and exit .. option:: --bluestore Use the bluestore objectstore (default) .. option:: --yes Skip the report and prompt to continue provisioning .. option:: --prepare Only prepare OSDs, do not activate .. option:: --dmcrypt Enable encryption for the underlying OSD devices .. option:: --crush-device-class Define a CRUSH device class to assign the OSD to .. option:: --no-systemd Do not enable or create any systemd units .. option:: --osds-per-device Provision more than 1 (the default) OSD per device .. option:: --report Report what the potential outcome would be for the current input (requires devices to be passed in) .. option:: --format Output format when reporting (used along with --report), can be one of 'pretty' (default) or 'json' .. option:: --block-db-size Set (or override) the "bluestore_block_db_size" value, in bytes .. option:: --journal-size Override the "osd_journal_size" value, in megabytes Required positional arguments: .. describe:: Full path to a raw device, like ``/dev/sda``. Multiple ```` paths can be passed in. activate ^^^^^^^^ .. program:: ceph-volume lvm activate Enables a systemd unit that persists the OSD ID and its UUID (also called ``fsid`` in Ceph CLI tools), so that at boot time it can understand what OSD is enabled and needs to be mounted. Usage:: ceph-volume lvm activate --bluestore Optional Arguments: .. option:: -h, --help show the help message and exit .. option:: --auto-detect-objectstore Automatically detect the objectstore by inspecting the OSD .. option:: --bluestore bluestore objectstore (default) .. option:: --all Activate all OSDs found in the system .. option:: --no-systemd Skip creating and enabling systemd units and starting of OSD services Multiple OSDs can be activated at once by using the (idempotent) ``--all`` flag:: ceph-volume lvm activate --all prepare ^^^^^^^ .. program:: ceph-volume lvm prepare Prepares a logical volume to be used as an OSD and journal using a ``bluestore`` (default) setup. It will not create or modify the logical volumes except for adding extra metadata. Usage:: ceph-volume lvm prepare --bluestore --data --journal Optional arguments: .. option:: -h, --help show the help message and exit .. option:: --journal JOURNAL logical group name, path to a logical volume, or path to a device .. option:: --bluestore Use the bluestore objectstore (default) .. option:: --block.wal Path to a bluestore block.wal logical volume or partition .. option:: --block.db Path to a bluestore block.db logical volume or partition .. option:: --dmcrypt Enable encryption for the underlying OSD devices .. option:: --osd-id OSD_ID Reuse an existing OSD id .. option:: --osd-fsid OSD_FSID Reuse an existing OSD fsid .. option:: --crush-device-class Define a CRUSH device class to assign the OSD to Required arguments: .. option:: --data A logical group name or a path to a logical volume For encrypting an OSD, the ``--dmcrypt`` flag must be added when preparing (also supported in the ``create`` sub-command). create ^^^^^^ Wraps the two-step process to provision a new osd (calling ``prepare`` first and then ``activate``) into a single one. The reason to prefer ``prepare`` and then ``activate`` is to gradually introduce new OSDs into a cluster, and avoiding large amounts of data being rebalanced. The single-call process unifies exactly what ``prepare`` and ``activate`` do, with the convenience of doing it all at once. Flags and general usage are equivalent to those of the ``prepare`` and ``activate`` subcommand. trigger ^^^^^^^ This subcommand is not meant to be used directly, and it is used by systemd so that it proxies input to ``ceph-volume lvm activate`` by parsing the input from systemd, detecting the UUID and ID associated with an OSD. Usage:: ceph-volume lvm trigger The systemd "data" is expected to be in the format of:: - The lvs associated with the OSD need to have been prepared previously, so that all needed tags and metadata exist. Positional arguments: .. describe:: Data from a systemd unit containing ID and UUID of the OSD. list ^^^^ List devices or logical volumes associated with Ceph. An association is determined if a device has information relating to an OSD. This is verified by querying LVM's metadata and correlating it with devices. The lvs associated with the OSD need to have been prepared previously by ceph-volume so that all needed tags and metadata exist. Usage:: ceph-volume lvm list List a particular device, reporting all metadata about it:: ceph-volume lvm list /dev/sda1 List a logical volume, along with all its metadata (vg is a volume group, and lv the logical volume name):: ceph-volume lvm list {vg/lv} Positional arguments: .. describe:: Either in the form of ``vg/lv`` for logical volumes, ``/path/to/sda1`` or ``/path/to/sda`` for regular devices. zap ^^^ Zaps the given logical volume or partition. If given a path to a logical volume it must be in the format of vg/lv. Any file systems present on the given lv or partition will be removed and all data will be purged. However, the lv or partition will be kept intact. Usage, for logical volumes:: ceph-volume lvm zap {vg/lv} Usage, for logical partitions:: ceph-volume lvm zap /dev/sdc1 For full removal of the device use the ``--destroy`` flag (allowed for all device types):: ceph-volume lvm zap --destroy /dev/sdc1 Multiple devices can be removed by specifying the OSD ID and/or the OSD FSID:: ceph-volume lvm zap --destroy --osd-id 1 ceph-volume lvm zap --destroy --osd-id 1 --osd-fsid C9605912-8395-4D76-AFC0-7DFDAC315D59 Positional arguments: .. describe:: Either in the form of ``vg/lv`` for logical volumes, ``/path/to/sda1`` or ``/path/to/sda`` for regular devices. new-wal ^^^^^^^ .. program:: ceph-volume lvm new-wal Attaches the given logical volume to OSD as a WAL. Logical volume name format is vg/lv. Fails if OSD has already got attached WAL. Usage:: ceph-volume lvm new-wal --osd-id OSD_ID --osd-fsid OSD_FSID --target Optional arguments: .. option:: -h, --help show the help message and exit .. option:: --no-systemd Skip checking OSD systemd unit Required arguments: .. option:: --target logical volume name to attach as WAL new-db ^^^^^^ .. program:: ceph-volume lvm new-db Attaches the given logical volume to OSD as a DB. Logical volume name format is vg/lv. Fails if OSD has already got attached DB. Usage:: ceph-volume lvm new-db --osd-id OSD_ID --osd-fsid OSD_FSID --target Optional arguments: .. option:: -h, --help show the help message and exit .. option:: --no-systemd Skip checking OSD systemd unit Required arguments: .. option:: --target logical volume name to attach as DB migrate ^^^^^^^ .. program:: ceph-volume lvm migrate Moves BlueFS data from source volume(s) to the target one, source volumes (except the main, i.e. data or block one) are removed on success. LVM volumes are permitted for Target only, both already attached or new one. In the latter case it is attached to the OSD replacing one of the source devices. Following replacement rules apply (in the order of precedence, stop on the first match): - if source list has DB volume - target device replaces it. - if source list has WAL volume - target device replace it. - if source list has slow volume only - operation is not permitted, requires explicit allocation via new-db/new-wal command. Usage:: ceph-volume lvm migrate --osd-id OSD_ID --osd-fsid OSD_FSID --target --from {data|db|wal} [{data|db|wal} ...] Optional arguments: .. option:: -h, --help show the help message and exit .. option:: --no-systemd Skip checking OSD systemd unit Required arguments: .. option:: --from list of source device type names .. option:: --target logical volume to move data to simple ------ Scan legacy OSD directories or data devices that may have been created by ceph-disk, or manually. Subcommands: activate ^^^^^^^^ .. program:: ceph-volume simple activate Enables a systemd unit that persists the OSD ID and its UUID (also called ``fsid`` in Ceph CLI tools), so that at boot time it can understand what OSD is enabled and needs to be mounted, while reading information that was previously created and persisted at ``/etc/ceph/osd/`` in JSON format. Usage:: ceph-volume simple activate --bluestore Optional Arguments: .. option:: -h, --help show the help message and exit .. option:: --bluestore bluestore objectstore (default) .. note:: It requires a matching JSON file with the following format:: /etc/ceph/osd/-.json scan ^^^^ .. program:: ceph-volume simple scan Scan a running OSD or data device for an OSD for metadata that can later be used to activate and manage the OSD with ceph-volume. The scan method will create a JSON file with the required information plus anything found in the OSD directory as well. Optionally, the JSON blob can be sent to stdout for further inspection. Usage on all running OSDs:: ceph-volume simple scan Usage on data devices:: ceph-volume simple scan Running OSD directories:: ceph-volume simple scan Optional arguments: .. option:: -h, --help show the help message and exit .. option:: --stdout Send the JSON blob to stdout .. option:: --force If the JSON file exists at destination, overwrite it Optional Positional arguments: .. describe:: Actual data partition or a path to the running OSD trigger ^^^^^^^ This subcommand is not meant to be used directly, and it is used by systemd so that it proxies input to ``ceph-volume simple activate`` by parsing the input from systemd, detecting the UUID and ID associated with an OSD. Usage:: ceph-volume simple trigger The systemd "data" is expected to be in the format of:: - The JSON file associated with the OSD need to have been persisted previously by a scan (or manually), so that all needed metadata can be used. Positional arguments: .. describe:: Data from a systemd unit containing ID and UUID of the OSD.
