+======================
+ OSD Config Reference
+======================
+
+.. index:: OSD; configuration
+
+You can configure Ceph OSD Daemons in the Ceph configuration file (or in recent
+releases, the central config store), but Ceph OSD
+Daemons can use the default values and a very minimal configuration. A minimal
+Ceph OSD Daemon configuration sets ``osd journal size`` (for Filestore), ``host``, and
+uses default values for nearly everything else.
+
+Ceph OSD Daemons are numerically identified in incremental fashion, beginning
+with ``0`` using the following convention. ::
+
+ osd.0
+ osd.1
+ osd.2
+
+In a configuration file, you may specify settings for all Ceph OSD Daemons in
+the cluster by adding configuration settings to the ``[osd]`` section of your
+configuration file. To add settings directly to a specific Ceph OSD Daemon
+(e.g., ``host``), enter it in an OSD-specific section of your configuration
+file. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [osd]
+ osd_journal_size = 5120
+
+ [osd.0]
+ host = osd-host-a
+
+ [osd.1]
+ host = osd-host-b
+
+
+.. index:: OSD; config settings
+
+General Settings
+================
+
+The following settings provide a Ceph OSD Daemon's ID, and determine paths to
+data and journals. Ceph deployment scripts typically generate the UUID
+automatically.
+
+.. warning:: **DO NOT** change the default paths for data or journals, as it
+ makes it more problematic to troubleshoot Ceph later.
+
+When using Filestore, the journal size should be at least twice the product of the expected drive
+speed multiplied by ``filestore_max_sync_interval``. However, the most common
+practice is to partition the journal drive (often an SSD), and mount it such
+that Ceph uses the entire partition for the journal.
+
+
+``osd_uuid``
+
+:Description: The universally unique identifier (UUID) for the Ceph OSD Daemon.
+:Type: UUID
+:Default: The UUID.
+:Note: The ``osd_uuid`` applies to a single Ceph OSD Daemon. The ``fsid``
+ applies to the entire cluster.
+
+
+``osd_data``
+
+:Description: The path to the OSDs data. You must create the directory when
+ deploying Ceph. You should mount a drive for OSD data at this
+ mount point. We do not recommend changing the default.
+
+:Type: String
+:Default: ``/var/lib/ceph/osd/$cluster-$id``
+
+
+``osd_max_write_size``
+
+:Description: The maximum size of a write in megabytes.
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``90``
+
+
+``osd_max_object_size``
+
+:Description: The maximum size of a RADOS object in bytes.
+:Type: 32-bit Unsigned Integer
+:Default: 128MB
+
+
+``osd_client_message_size_cap``
+
+:Description: The largest client data message allowed in memory.
+:Type: 64-bit Unsigned Integer
+:Default: 500MB default. ``500*1024L*1024L``

+
+:Description: The class path for RADOS class plug-ins.
+:Type: String
+:Default: ``$libdir/rados-classes``

+
+File System Settings
+====================
+Ceph builds and mounts file systems which are used for Ceph OSDs.
+
+``osd_mkfs_options {fs-type}``
+
+:Description: Options used when creating a new Ceph Filestore OSD of type {fs-type}.
+
+:Type: String
+:Default for xfs: ``-f -i 2048``
+:Default for other file systems: {empty string}
+
+For example::
+ ``osd_mkfs_options_xfs = -f -d agcount=24``
+
+``osd_mount_options {fs-type}``
+
+:Description: Options used when mounting a Ceph Filestore OSD of type {fs-type}.
+
+:Type: String
+:Default for xfs: ``rw,noatime,inode64``
+:Default for other file systems: ``rw, noatime``
+
+For example::
+ ``osd_mount_options_xfs = rw, noatime, inode64, logbufs=8``
+
+
+.. index:: OSD; journal settings
+
+Journal Settings
+================
+
+This section applies only to the older Filestore OSD back end. Since Luminous
+BlueStore has been default and preferred.
+
+By default, Ceph expects that you will provision a Ceph OSD Daemon's journal at
+the following path, which is usually a symlink to a device or partition::
+
+ /var/lib/ceph/osd/$cluster-$id/journal
+
+When using a single device type (for example, spinning drives), the journals
+should be *colocated*: the logical volume (or partition) should be in the same
+device as the ``data`` logical volume.
+
+When using a mix of fast (SSDs, NVMe) devices with slower ones (like spinning
+drives) it makes sense to place the journal on the faster device, while
+``data`` occupies the slower device fully.
+
+The default ``osd_journal_size`` value is 5120 (5 gigabytes), but it can be
+larger, in which case it will need to be set in the ``ceph.conf`` file.
+A value of 10 gigabytes is common in practice::
+
+ osd_journal_size = 10240
+
+
+``osd_journal``
+
+:Description: The path to the OSD's journal. This may be a path to a file or a
+ block device (such as a partition of an SSD). If it is a file,
+ you must create the directory to contain it. We recommend using a
+ separate fast device when the ``osd_data`` drive is an HDD.
+
+:Type: String
+:Default: ``/var/lib/ceph/osd/$cluster-$id/journal``
+
+
+``osd_journal_size``
+
+:Description: The size of the journal in megabytes.
+
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``5120``
+
+
+See `Journal Config Reference`_ for additional details.
+
+
+Monitor OSD Interaction
+=======================
+
+Ceph OSD Daemons check each other's heartbeats and report to monitors
+periodically. Ceph can use default values in many cases. However, if your
+network has latency issues, you may need to adopt longer intervals. See
+`Configuring Monitor/OSD Interaction`_ for a detailed discussion of heartbeats.
+
+
+Data Placement
+==============
+
+See `Pool & PG Config Reference`_ for details.
+
+
+.. index:: OSD; scrubbing
+
+Scrubbing
+=========
+
+In addition to making multiple copies of objects, Ceph ensures data integrity by
+scrubbing placement groups. Ceph scrubbing is analogous to ``fsck`` on the
+object storage layer. For each placement group, Ceph generates a catalog of all
+objects and compares each primary object and its replicas to ensure that no
+objects are missing or mismatched. Light scrubbing (daily) checks the object
+size and attributes. Deep scrubbing (weekly) reads the data and uses checksums
+to ensure data integrity.
+
+Scrubbing is important for maintaining data integrity, but it can reduce
+performance. You can adjust the following settings to increase or decrease
+scrubbing operations.
+

+ window, in which the scrubs can happen.
+ But a scrub will be performed
+ no matter whether the time window allows or not, as long as the placement
+ group's scrub interval exceeds ``osd_scrub_max_interval``.

+:Default: ``0``
+
+

+
+Operations
+==========
+
+ ``osd_op_queue``
+
+:Description: This sets the type of queue to be used for prioritizing ops
+ within each OSD. Both queues feature a strict sub-queue which is
+ dequeued before the normal queue. The normal queue is different
+ between implementations. The WeightedPriorityQueue (``wpq``)
+ dequeues operations in relation to their priorities to prevent
+ starvation of any queue. WPQ should help in cases where a few OSDs
+ are more overloaded than others. The new mClockQueue
+ (``mclock_scheduler``) prioritizes operations based on which class
+ they belong to (recovery, scrub, snaptrim, client op, osd subop).
+ See `QoS Based on mClock`_. Requires a restart.
+
+:Type: String
+:Valid Choices: wpq, mclock_scheduler
+:Default: ``wpq``
+
+
+``osd_op_queue_cut_off``
+
+:Description: This selects which priority ops will be sent to the strict
+ queue verses the normal queue. The ``low`` setting sends all
+ replication ops and higher to the strict queue, while the ``high``
+ option sends only replication acknowledgment ops and higher to
+ the strict queue. Setting this to ``high`` should help when a few
+ OSDs in the cluster are very busy especially when combined with
+ ``wpq`` in the ``osd_op_queue`` setting. OSDs that are very busy
+ handling replication traffic could starve primary client traffic
+ on these OSDs without these settings. Requires a restart.
+
+:Type: String
+:Valid Choices: low, high
+:Default: ``high``
+
+
+``osd_client_op_priority``
+
+:Description: The priority set for client operations. This value is relative
+ to that of ``osd_recovery_op_priority`` below. The default
+ strongly favors client ops over recovery.
+
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``63``
+:Valid Range: 1-63
+
+
+``osd_recovery_op_priority``
+
+:Description: The priority of recovery operations vs client operations, if not specified by the
+ pool's ``recovery_op_priority``. The default value prioritizes client
+ ops (see above) over recovery ops. You may adjust the tradeoff of client
+ impact against the time to restore cluster health by lowering this value
+ for increased prioritization of client ops, or by increasing it to favor
+ recovery.
+
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``3``
+:Valid Range: 1-63
+
+
+``osd_scrub_priority``
+

+:Default: ``5``
+:Valid Range: 1-63
+
+
+``osd_requested_scrub_priority``
+
+:Description: The priority set for user requested scrub on the work queue. If

+
+QoS Based on mClock
+-------------------
+
+Ceph's use of mClock is now more refined and can be used by following the
+steps as described in `mClock Config Reference`_.
+
+Core Concepts
+`````````````
+
+Ceph's QoS support is implemented using a queueing scheduler
+based on `the dmClock algorithm`_. This algorithm allocates the I/O
+resources of the Ceph cluster in proportion to weights, and enforces
+the constraints of minimum reservation and maximum limitation, so that
+the services can compete for the resources fairly. Currently the
+*mclock_scheduler* operation queue divides Ceph services involving I/O
+resources into following buckets:
+
+- client op: the iops issued by client
+- osd subop: the iops issued by primary OSD
+- snap trim: the snap trimming related requests
+- pg recovery: the recovery related requests
+- pg scrub: the scrub related requests
+
+And the resources are partitioned using following three sets of tags. In other
+words, the share of each type of service is controlled by three tags:
+
+#. reservation: the minimum IOPS allocated for the service.
+#. limitation: the maximum IOPS allocated for the service.
+#. weight: the proportional share of capacity if extra capacity or system
+ oversubscribed.
+
+In Ceph, operations are graded with "cost". And the resources allocated
+for serving various services are consumed by these "costs". So, for
+example, the more reservation a services has, the more resource it is
+guaranteed to possess, as long as it requires. Assuming there are 2
+services: recovery and client ops:
+
+- recovery: (r:1, l:5, w:1)
+- client ops: (r:2, l:0, w:9)
+
+The settings above ensure that the recovery won't get more than 5
+requests per second serviced, even if it requires so (see CURRENT
+IMPLEMENTATION NOTE below), and no other services are competing with
+it. But if the clients start to issue large amount of I/O requests,
+neither will they exhaust all the I/O resources. 1 request per second
+is always allocated for recovery jobs as long as there are any such
+requests. So the recovery jobs won't be starved even in a cluster with
+high load. And in the meantime, the client ops can enjoy a larger
+portion of the I/O resource, because its weight is "9", while its
+competitor "1". In the case of client ops, it is not clamped by the
+limit setting, so it can make use of all the resources if there is no
+recovery ongoing.
+
+CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: the current implementation enforces the limit
+values. Therefore, if a service crosses the enforced limit, the op remains
+in the operation queue until the limit is restored.
+
+Subtleties of mClock
+````````````````````
+
+The reservation and limit values have a unit of requests per
+second. The weight, however, does not technically have a unit and the
+weights are relative to one another. So if one class of requests has a
+weight of 1 and another a weight of 9, then the latter class of
+requests should get 9 executed at a 9 to 1 ratio as the first class.
+However that will only happen once the reservations are met and those
+values include the operations executed under the reservation phase.
+
+Even though the weights do not have units, one must be careful in
+choosing their values due how the algorithm assigns weight tags to
+requests. If the weight is *W*, then for a given class of requests,
+the next one that comes in will have a weight tag of *1/W* plus the
+previous weight tag or the current time, whichever is larger. That
+means if *W* is sufficiently large and therefore *1/W* is sufficiently
+small, the calculated tag may never be assigned as it will get a value
+of the current time. The ultimate lesson is that values for weight
+should not be too large. They should be under the number of requests
+one expects to be serviced each second.
+
+Caveats
+```````
+
+There are some factors that can reduce the impact of the mClock op
+queues within Ceph. First, requests to an OSD are sharded by their
+placement group identifier. Each shard has its own mClock queue and
+these queues neither interact nor share information among them. The
+number of shards can be controlled with the configuration options
+``osd_op_num_shards``, ``osd_op_num_shards_hdd``, and
+``osd_op_num_shards_ssd``. A lower number of shards will increase the
+impact of the mClock queues, but may have other deleterious effects.
+
+Second, requests are transferred from the operation queue to the
+operation sequencer, in which they go through the phases of
+execution. The operation queue is where mClock resides and mClock
+determines the next op to transfer to the operation sequencer. The
+number of operations allowed in the operation sequencer is a complex
+issue. In general we want to keep enough operations in the sequencer
+so it's always getting work done on some operations while it's waiting
+for disk and network access to complete on other operations. On the
+other hand, once an operation is transferred to the operation
+sequencer, mClock no longer has control over it. Therefore to maximize
+the impact of mClock, we want to keep as few operations in the
+operation sequencer as possible. So we have an inherent tension.
+
+The configuration options that influence the number of operations in
+the operation sequencer are ``bluestore_throttle_bytes``,
+``bluestore_throttle_deferred_bytes``,
+``bluestore_throttle_cost_per_io``,
+``bluestore_throttle_cost_per_io_hdd``, and
+``bluestore_throttle_cost_per_io_ssd``.
+
+A third factor that affects the impact of the mClock algorithm is that
+we're using a distributed system, where requests are made to multiple
+OSDs and each OSD has (can have) multiple shards. Yet we're currently
+using the mClock algorithm, which is not distributed (note: dmClock is
+the distributed version of mClock).
+
+Various organizations and individuals are currently experimenting with
+mClock as it exists in this code base along with their modifications
+to the code base. We hope you'll share you're experiences with your
+mClock and dmClock experiments on the ``ceph-devel`` mailing list.

+
+Backfilling
+===========
+
+When you add or remove Ceph OSD Daemons to a cluster, CRUSH will
+rebalance the cluster by moving placement groups to or from Ceph OSDs
+to restore balanced utilization. The process of migrating placement groups and
+the objects they contain can reduce the cluster's operational performance
+considerably. To maintain operational performance, Ceph performs this migration
+with 'backfilling', which allows Ceph to set backfill operations to a lower
+priority than requests to read or write data.
+
+
+``osd_max_backfills``

+
+.. index:: OSD; recovery
+
+Recovery
+========
+
+When the cluster starts or when a Ceph OSD Daemon crashes and restarts, the OSD
+begins peering with other Ceph OSD Daemons before writes can occur. See
+`Monitoring OSDs and PGs`_ for details.
+
+If a Ceph OSD Daemon crashes and comes back online, usually it will be out of
+sync with other Ceph OSD Daemons containing more recent versions of objects in
+the placement groups. When this happens, the Ceph OSD Daemon goes into recovery
+mode and seeks to get the latest copy of the data and bring its map back up to
+date. Depending upon how long the Ceph OSD Daemon was down, the OSD's objects
+and placement groups may be significantly out of date. Also, if a failure domain
+went down (e.g., a rack), more than one Ceph OSD Daemon may come back online at
+the same time. This can make the recovery process time consuming and resource
+intensive.
+
+To maintain operational performance, Ceph performs recovery with limitations on
+the number recovery requests, threads and object chunk sizes which allows Ceph
+perform well in a degraded state.
