    •  
  • libsqlite3-mod-ceph on Ubuntu
    •  
  • libcephsqlite on Fedora
    •  
  • ceph on CentOS

Without the appropriate package (or a from-scratch build of SQLite), you will be unable to load libcephsqlite.so.
 
After creating a CephClient similar to deploy/examples/sqlitevfs-client.yaml and retrieving it's credentials, you may set the following ENV variables:
 
export CEPH_CONF=/libsqliteceph/ceph.conf;\nexport CEPH_KEYRING=/libsqliteceph/ceph.keyring;\nexport CEPH_ARGS=--id sqlitevfs\n
 
Then start your SQLite database:

If those lines complete without error, you have successfully set up SQLite to access Ceph.

It is possible to scale the size of the cluster up or down by modifying the spec.server.active field. Scaling the cluster size up can be done at will. Once the new server comes up, clients can be assigned to it immediately.
 
The CRD always eliminates the highest index servers first, in reverse order from how they were started. Scaling down the cluster requires that clients be migrated from servers that will be eliminated to others. That process is currently a manual one and should be performed before reducing the size of the cluster.

Provider is what provides network connectivity to the cluster e.g. \u201chost\u201d or \u201cmultus\u201d.

Valid keys are \u201cpublic\u201d and \u201ccluster\u201d. Refer to Ceph networking documentation for more: https://docs.ceph.com/en/reef/rados/configuration/network-config-ref/
 
Refer to Multus network annotation documentation for help selecting values: https://github.com/k8snetworkplumbingwg/multus-cni/blob/master/docs/how-to-use.md#run-pod-with-network-annotation
 
Rook will make a best-effort attempt to automatically detect CIDR address ranges for given network attachment definitions. Rook\u2019s methods are robust but may be imprecise for sufficiently complicated networks. Rook\u2019s auto-detection process obtains a new IP address lease for each CephCluster reconcile. If Rook fails to detect, incorrectly detects, only partially detects, or if underlying networks do not support reusing old IP addresses, it is best to use the \u2018addressRanges\u2019 config section to specify CIDR ranges for the Ceph cluster.
 
As a contrived example, one can use a theoretical Kubernetes-wide network for Ceph client traffic and a theoretical Rook-only network for Ceph replication traffic as shown: selectors: public: \u201cdefault/cluster-fast-net\u201d cluster: \u201crook-ceph/ceph-backend-net\u201d

This endpoint will be returned to CephObjectStoreUsers, Object Bucket Claims, and COSI Buckets/Accesses. By default, Rook returns the endpoint for the object store\u2019s Kubernetes service using HTTPS with gateway.securePort if it is defined (otherwise, HTTP with gateway.port).
 dnsNames  []string  (Optional) 
A list of DNS host names on which object store gateways will accept client S3 connections. When specified, object store gateways will reject client S3 connections to hostnames that are not present in this list, so include all endpoints. The object store\u2019s advertiseEndpoint and Kubernetes service endpoint, plus CephObjectZone customEndpoints are automatically added to the list but may be set here again if desired. Each DNS name must be valid according RFC-1123. If the DNS name corresponds to an endpoint with DNS wildcard support, do not include the wildcard itself in the list of hostnames. E.g., use \u201cmystore.example.com\u201d instead of \u201c*.mystore.example.com\u201d. The feature is supported only for Ceph v18 and later versions.

 dataSource  Kubernetes core/v1.TypedLocalObjectReference  (Optional) 
dataSource field can be used to specify either: * An existing VolumeSnapshot object (snapshot.storage.k8s.io/VolumeSnapshot) * An existing PVC (PersistentVolumeClaim) If the provisioner or an external controller can support the specified data source, it will create a new volume based on the contents of the specified data source. When the AnyVolumeDataSource feature gate is enabled, dataSource contents will be copied to dataSourceRef, and dataSourceRef contents will be copied to dataSource when dataSourceRef.namespace is not specified. If the namespace is specified, then dataSourceRef will not be copied to dataSource.
 dataSourceRef  Kubernetes core/v1.TypedObjectReference  (Optional) 
dataSourceRef specifies the object from which to populate the volume with data, if a non-empty volume is desired. This may be any object from a non-empty API group (non core object) or a PersistentVolumeClaim object. When this field is specified, volume binding will only succeed if the type of the specified object matches some installed volume populator or dynamic provisioner. This field will replace the functionality of the dataSource field and as such if both fields are non-empty, they must have the same value. For backwards compatibility, when namespace isn\u2019t specified in dataSourceRef, both fields (dataSource and dataSourceRef) will be set to the same value automatically if one of them is empty and the other is non-empty. When namespace is specified in dataSourceRef, dataSource isn\u2019t set to the same value and must be empty. There are three important differences between dataSource and dataSourceRef: * While dataSource only allows two specific types of objects, dataSourceRef allows any non-core object, as well as PersistentVolumeClaim objects. * While dataSource ignores disallowed values (dropping them), dataSourceRef preserves all values, and generates an error if a disallowed value is specified. * While dataSource only allows local objects, dataSourceRef allows objects in any namespaces. (Beta) Using this field requires the AnyVolumeDataSource feature gate to be enabled. (Alpha) Using the namespace field of dataSourceRef requires the CrossNamespaceVolumeDataSource feature gate to be enabled.
 volumeAttributesClassName  string  (Optional) 
volumeAttributesClassName may be used to set the VolumeAttributesClass used by this claim. If specified, the CSI driver will create or update the volume with the attributes defined in the corresponding VolumeAttributesClass. This has a different purpose than storageClassName, it can be changed after the claim is created. An empty string value means that no VolumeAttributesClass will be applied to the claim but it\u2019s not allowed to reset this field to empty string once it is set. If unspecified and the PersistentVolumeClaim is unbound, the default VolumeAttributesClass will be set by the persistentvolume controller if it exists. If the resource referred to by volumeAttributesClass does not exist, this PersistentVolumeClaim will be set to a Pending state, as reflected by the modifyVolumeStatus field, until such as a resource exists.

Hybrid storage is a combination of two different storage tiers. For example, SSD and HDD. This helps to improve the read performance of cluster by placing, say, 1st copy of data on the higher performance tier (SSD or NVME) and remaining replicated copies on lower cost tier (HDDs).
 
WARNING Hybrid storage pools are likely to suffer from lower availability if a node goes down. The data across the two tiers may actually end up on the same node, instead of being spread across unique nodes (or failure domains) as expected. Instead of using hybrid pools, consider configuring primary affinity from the toolbox.

This sample requires at least 3 bluestore OSDs.

High performance applications typically will not use erasure coding due to the performance overhead of creating and distributing the chunks in the cluster.
 
When creating an erasure-coded pool, it is highly recommended to create the pool when you have bluestore OSDs in your cluster (see the OSD configuration settings. Filestore OSDs have limitations that are unsafe and lower performance.
"},{"location":"CRDs/Block-Storage/ceph-block-pool-crd/#mirroring","title":"Mirroring","text":"
RADOS Block Device (RBD) mirroring is a process of asynchronous replication of Ceph block device images between two or more Ceph clusters. Mirroring ensures point-in-time consistent replicas of all changes to an image, including reads and writes, block device resizing, snapshots, clones and flattening. It is generally useful when planning for Disaster Recovery. Mirroring is for clusters that are geographically distributed and stretching a single cluster is not possible due to high latencies.
 
The following will enable mirroring of the pool at the image level:
 
apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1\nkind: CephBlockPool\nmetadata:\n  name: replicapool\n  namespace: rook-ceph\nspec:\n  replicated:\n    size: 3\n  mirroring:\n    enabled: true\n    mode: image\n    # schedule(s) of snapshot\n    snapshotSchedules:\n      - interval: 24h # daily snapshots\n        startTime: 14:00:00-05:00\n
 
Once mirroring is enabled, Rook will by default create its own bootstrap peer token so that it can be used by another cluster. The bootstrap peer token can be found in a Kubernetes Secret. The name of the Secret is present in the Status field of the CephBlockPool CR:
 
status:\n  info:\n    rbdMirrorBootstrapPeerSecretName: pool-peer-token-replicapool\n
 
This secret can then be fetched like so:
 
kubectl get secret -n rook-ceph pool-peer-token-replicapool -o jsonpath='{.data.token}'|base64 -d\neyJmc2lkIjoiOTFlYWUwZGQtMDZiMS00ZDJjLTkxZjMtMTMxMWM5ZGYzODJiIiwiY2xpZW50X2lkIjoicmJkLW1pcnJvci1wZWVyIiwia2V5IjoiQVFEN1psOWZ3V1VGRHhBQWdmY0gyZi8xeUhYeGZDUTU5L1N0NEE9PSIsIm1vbl9ob3N0IjoiW3YyOjEwLjEwMS4xOC4yMjM6MzMwMCx2MToxMC4xMDEuMTguMjIzOjY3ODldIn0=\n

A failure domain can also be set to a different type (e.g. rack), if the OSDs are created on nodes with the supported topology labels. If the failureDomain is changed on the pool, the operator will create a new CRUSH rule and update the pool.     If a replicated pool of size 3 is configured and the failureDomain is set to host, all three copies of the replicated data will be placed on OSDs located on 3 different Ceph hosts. This case is guaranteed to tolerate a failure of two hosts without a loss of data. Similarly, a failure domain set to osd, can tolerate a loss of two OSD devices.

    Neither Rook, nor Ceph, prevent the creation of a cluster where the replicated data (or Erasure Coded chunks) can be written safely.

Erasure coding allows you to keep your data safe while reducing the storage overhead. Instead of creating multiple replicas of the data, erasure coding divides the original data into chunks of equal size, then generates extra chunks of that same size for redundancy.
 
For example, if you have an object of size 2MB, the simplest erasure coding with two data chunks would divide the object into two chunks of size 1MB each (data chunks). One more chunk (coding chunk) of size 1MB will be generated. In total, 3MB will be stored in the cluster. The object will be able to suffer the loss of any one of the chunks and still be able to reconstruct the original object.
 
The number of data and coding chunks you choose will depend on your resiliency to loss and how much storage overhead is acceptable in your storage cluster. Here are some examples to illustrate how the number of chunks affects the storage and loss toleration.
 Data chunks (k) Coding chunks (m) Total storage Losses Tolerated OSDs required 2 1 1.5x 1 3 2 2 2x 2 4 4 2 1.5x 2 6 16 4 1.25x 4 20 
The failureDomain must be also be taken into account when determining the number of chunks. The failure domain determines the level in the Ceph CRUSH hierarchy where the chunks must be uniquely distributed. This decision will impact whether node losses or disk losses are tolerated. There could also be performance differences of placing the data across nodes or osds.
 
     
  • host: All chunks will be placed on unique hosts
    •  
  • osd: All chunks will be placed on unique OSDs
    •  
 
If you do not have a sufficient number of hosts or OSDs for unique placement the pool can be created, writing to the pool will hang.
 
Rook currently only configures two levels in the CRUSH map. It is also possible to configure other levels such as rack with by adding topology labels to the nodes.

RADOS currently uses pools both for data distribution (pools are shared into PGs, which map to OSDs) and as the granularity for security (capabilities can restrict access by pool).  Overloading pools for both purposes makes it hard to do multi-tenancy because it is not a good idea to have a very large number of pools.
 
A namespace would be a division of a pool into separate logical namespaces. For more information about BlockPool and namespace refer to the Ceph docs
 
Having multiple namespaces in a pool would allow multiple Kubernetes clusters to share one unique ceph cluster without creating a pool per kubernetes cluster and it will also allow to have tenant isolation between multiple tenants in a single Kubernetes cluster without creating multiple pools for tenants.
 
Rook allows creation of Ceph BlockPool RadosNamespaces through the custom resource definitions (CRDs).

Rook allows creation and customization of storage clusters through the custom resource definitions (CRDs). There are primarily four different modes in which to create your cluster.
 
     
  1. Host Storage Cluster: Consume storage from host paths and raw devices
    2.  
  2. PVC Storage Cluster: Dynamically provision storage underneath Rook by specifying the storage class Rook should use to consume storage (via PVCs)
    3.  
  3. Stretched Storage Cluster: Distribute Ceph mons across three zones, while storage (OSDs) is only configured in two zones
    4.  
  4. External Ceph Cluster: Connect your K8s applications to an external Ceph cluster
    5.  
 
See the separate topics for a description and examples of each of these scenarios.

    •  
  • namespace: The Kubernetes namespace that will be created for the Rook cluster. The services, pods, and other resources created by the operator will be added to this namespace. The common scenario is to create a single Rook cluster. If multiple clusters are created, they must not have conflicting devices or host paths.

If cephVersion.image is left blank, Rook will refuse the creation of extra CRs like object, file and nfs.
      •  
     
    •  
  • cephVersion: The version information for launching the ceph daemons.
       
    • image: The image used for running the ceph daemons. For example, quay.io/ceph/ceph:v18.2.4. For more details read the container images section.     For the latest ceph images, see the Ceph DockerHub.     To ensure a consistent version of the image is running across all nodes in the cluster, it is recommended to use a very specific image version.     Tags also exist that would give the latest version, but they are only recommended for test environments. For example, the tag v17 will be updated each time a new Quincy build is released.     Using the v17 tag is not recommended in production because it may lead to inconsistent versions of the image running across different nodes in the cluster.
      •  
    • allowUnsupported: If true, allow an unsupported major version of the Ceph release. Currently quincy and reef are supported. Future versions such as squid (v19) would require this to be set to true. Should be set to false in production.
      •  
    • imagePullPolicy: The image pull policy for the ceph daemon pods. Possible values are Always, IfNotPresent, and Never. The default is IfNotPresent.
      •  
     
    •  
  • dataDirHostPath: The path on the host (hostPath) where config and data should be stored for each of the services. If there are multiple clusters, the directory must be unique for each cluster. If the directory does not exist, it will be created. Because this directory persists on the host, it will remain after pods are deleted. Following paths and any of their subpaths must not be used: /etc/ceph, /rook or /var/log/ceph.
       
    • WARNING: For test scenarios, if you delete a cluster and start a new cluster on the same hosts, the path used by dataDirHostPath must be deleted. Otherwise, stale keys and other config will remain from the previous cluster and the new mons will fail to start. If this value is empty, each pod will get an ephemeral directory to store their config files that is tied to the lifetime of the pod running on that node. More details can be found in the Kubernetes empty dir docs.

    • count: set number of ceph managers between 1 to 2. The default value is 2.     If there are two managers, it is important for all mgr services point to the active mgr and not the standby mgr. Rook automatically     updates the label mgr_role on the mgr pods to be either active or standby. Therefore, services need just to add the label     mgr_role=active to their selector to point to the active mgr. This applies to all services that rely on the ceph mgr such as     the dashboard or the prometheus metrics collector.

    • enabled: if set to true, the log collector will run as a side-car next to each Ceph daemon. The Ceph configuration option log_to_file will be turned on, meaning Ceph daemons will log on files in addition to still logging to container's stdout. These logs will be rotated. In case a daemon terminates with a segfault, the coredump files will be commonly be generated in /var/lib/systemd/coredump directory on the host, depending on the underlying OS location. (default: true)
      •  
    • periodicity: how often to rotate daemon's log. (default: 24h). Specified with a time suffix which may be h for hours or d for days. Rotating too often will slightly impact the daemon's performance since the signal briefly interrupts the program.

Flapping occurs where OSDs are marked down by Ceph more than 5 times in 600 seconds. The OSDs will stay down when flapping since they likely have a bad disk or other issue that needs investigation. If the issue with the OSD is fixed manually, the OSD pod can be manually restarted. The sleep is disabled if this interval is set to 0.
      •  
    • scheduleAlways: Whether to always schedule OSD pods on nodes declared explicitly in the \"nodes\" section, even if they are     temporarily not schedulable. If set to true, consider adding placement tolerations for unschedulable nodes.

      •  
    • pgHealthCheckTimeout: A duration in minutes that the operator will wait for the placement groups to become healthy (see pgHealthyRegex) after a drain was completed and OSDs came back up. Operator will continue with the next drain if the timeout exceeds. No values or 0 means that the operator will wait until the placement groups are healthy before unblocking the next drain.
      •  
    • pgHealthyRegex: The regular expression that is used to determine which PG states should be considered healthy. The default is ^(active\\+clean|active\\+clean\\+scrubbing|active\\+clean\\+scrubbing\\+deep)$.

When useAllNodes is set to true, Rook attempts to make Ceph cluster management as hands-off as possible while still maintaining reasonable data safety. If a usable node comes online, Rook will begin to use it automatically. To maintain a balance between hands-off usability and data safety, Nodes are removed from Ceph as OSD hosts only (1) if the node is deleted from Kubernetes itself or (2) if the node has its taints or affinities modified in such a way that the node is no longer usable by Rook. Any changes to taints or affinities, intentional or unintentional, may affect the data reliability of the Ceph cluster. In order to help protect against this somewhat, deletion of nodes by taint or affinity modifications must be \"confirmed\" by deleting the Rook Ceph operator pod and allowing the operator deployment to restart the pod.
 
For production clusters, we recommend that useAllNodes is set to false to prevent the Ceph cluster from suffering reduced data reliability unintentionally due to a user mistake. When useAllNodes is set to false, Rook relies on the user to be explicit about when nodes are added to or removed from the Ceph cluster. Nodes are only added to the Ceph cluster if the node is added to the Ceph cluster resource. Similarly, nodes are only removed if the node is removed from the Ceph cluster resource.

Below are the settings for host-based cluster. This type of cluster can specify devices for OSDs, both at the cluster and individual node level, for selecting which storage resources will be included in the cluster.
 
     
  • useAllDevices: true or false, indicating whether all devices found on nodes in the cluster should be automatically consumed by OSDs. Not recommended unless you have a very controlled environment where you will not risk formatting of devices with existing data. When true, all devices and partitions will be used. Is overridden by deviceFilter if specified. LVM logical volumes are not picked by useAllDevices.
    •  
  • deviceFilter: A regular expression for short kernel names of devices (e.g. sda) that allows selection of devices and partitions to be consumed by OSDs.  LVM logical volumes are not picked by deviceFilter.If individual devices have been specified for a node then this filter will be ignored.  This field uses golang regular expression syntax. For example:
       
    • sdb: Only selects the sdb device if found
      •  
    • ^sd.: Selects all devices starting with sd
      •  
    • ^sd[a-d]: Selects devices starting with sda, sdb, sdc, and sdd if found
      •  
    • ^s: Selects all devices that start with s
      •  
    • ^[^r]: Selects all devices that do not start with r
      •  
     
    •  
  • devicePathFilter: A regular expression for device paths (e.g. /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0:1:2:3-scsi-1) that allows selection of devices and partitions to be consumed by OSDs.  LVM logical volumes are not picked by devicePathFilter.If individual devices or deviceFilter have been specified for a node then this filter will be ignored.  This field uses golang regular expression syntax. For example:
       
    • ^/dev/sd.: Selects all devices starting with sd
      •  
    • ^/dev/disk/by-path/pci-.*: Selects all devices which are connected to PCI bus
      •  
     
    •  
  • devices: A list of individual device names belonging to this node to include in the storage cluster.
       
    • name: The name of the devices and partitions (e.g., sda). The full udev path can also be specified for devices, partitions, and logical volumes (e.g. /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST4000DM004-XXXX - this will not change after reboots).

Below are the settings for a PVC-based cluster.
 
     
  • storageClassDeviceSets: Explained in Storage Class Device Sets
    •  
"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/ceph-cluster-crd/#storage-class-device-sets","title":"Storage Class Device Sets","text":"
The following are the settings for Storage Class Device Sets which can be configured to create OSDs that are backed by block mode PVs.
 
     
  • name: A name for the set.
    •  
  • count: The number of devices in the set.
    •  
  • resources: The CPU and RAM requests/limits for the devices. (Optional)
    •  
  •  
    placement: The placement criteria for the devices. (Optional) Default is no placement criteria.
     
    The syntax is the same as for other placement configuration. It supports nodeAffinity, podAffinity, podAntiAffinity and tolerations keys.
     
    It is recommended to configure the placement such that the OSDs will be as evenly spread across nodes as possible. At a minimum, anti-affinity should be added so at least one OSD will be placed on each available nodes.
     
    However, if there are more OSDs than nodes, this anti-affinity will not be effective. Another placement scheme to consider is to add labels to the nodes in such a way that the OSDs can be grouped on those nodes, create multiple storageClassDeviceSets, and add node affinity to each of the device sets that will place the OSDs in those sets of nodes.
     
    Rook will automatically add required nodeAffinity to the OSD daemons to match the topology labels that are found on the nodes where the OSD prepare jobs ran. To ensure data durability, the OSDs are required to run in the same topology that the Ceph CRUSH map expects. For example, if the nodes are labeled with rack topology labels, the OSDs will be constrained to a certain rack. Without the topology labels, Rook will not constrain the OSDs beyond what is required by the PVs, for example to run in the zone where provisioned. See the OSD Topology section for the related labels.
     
    •  
  •  
    preparePlacement: The placement criteria for the preparation of the OSD devices. Creating OSDs is a two-step process and the prepare job may require different placement than the OSD daemons. If the preparePlacement is not specified, the placement will instead be applied for consistent placement for the OSD prepare jobs and OSD deployments. The preparePlacement is only useful for portable OSDs in the device sets. OSDs that are not portable will be tied to the host where the OSD prepare job initially runs.
     
       
    • For example, provisioning may require topology spread constraints across zones, but the OSD daemons may require constraints across hosts within the zones.
      •  
     
    •  
  • portable: If true, the OSDs will be allowed to move between nodes during failover. This requires a storage class that supports portability (e.g. aws-ebs, but not the local storage provisioner). If false, the OSDs will be assigned to a node permanently. Rook will configure Ceph's CRUSH map to support the portability.
    •  
  • tuneDeviceClass: For example, Ceph cannot detect AWS volumes as HDDs from the storage class \"gp2-csi\", so you can improve Ceph performance by setting this to true.
    •  
  • tuneFastDeviceClass: For example, Ceph cannot detect Azure disks as SSDs from the storage class \"managed-premium\", so you can improve Ceph performance by setting this to true..
    •  
  • volumeClaimTemplates: A list of PVC templates to use for provisioning the underlying storage devices.
       
    • metadata.name: \"data\", \"metadata\", or \"wal\". If a single template is provided, the name must be \"data\". If the name is \"metadata\" or \"wal\", the devices are used to store the Ceph metadata or WAL respectively. In both cases, the devices must be raw devices or LVM logical volumes.
         
      • resources.requests.storage: The desired capacity for the underlying storage devices.
        •  
      • storageClassName: The StorageClass to provision PVCs from. Default would be to use the cluster-default StorageClass.
        •  
      • volumeMode: The volume mode to be set for the PVC. Which should be Block
        •  
      • accessModes: The access mode for the PVC to be bound by OSD.
        •  
       
      •  
     
    •  
  • schedulerName: Scheduler name for OSD pod placement. (Optional)
    •  
  • encrypted: whether to encrypt all the OSDs in a given storageClassDeviceSet
    •

The following storage selection settings are specific to Ceph and do not apply to other backends. All variables are key-value pairs represented as strings.
 
     
  • metadataDevice: Name of a device, partition or lvm to use for the metadata of OSDs on each node.  Performance can be improved by using a low latency device (such as SSD or NVMe) as the metadata device, while other spinning platter (HDD) devices on a node are used to store data. Provisioning will fail if the user specifies a metadataDevice but that device is not used as a metadata device by Ceph. Notably, ceph-volume will not use a device of the same device class (HDD, SSD, NVMe) as OSD devices for metadata, resulting in this failure.
    •  
  • databaseSizeMB:  The size in MB of a bluestore database. Include quotes around the size.
    •  
  • walSizeMB:  The size in MB of a bluestore write ahead log (WAL). Include quotes around the size.
    •  
  • deviceClass: The CRUSH device class to use for this selection of storage devices. (By default, if a device's class has not already been set, OSDs will automatically set a device's class to either hdd, ssd, or nvme  based on the hardware properties exposed by the Linux kernel.) These storage classes can then be used to select the devices backing a storage pool by specifying them as the value of the pool spec's deviceClass field. If updating the device class of an OSD after the OSD is already created, allowDeviceClassUpdate: true must be set. Otherwise updates to this deviceClass will be ignored.
    •  
  • initialWeight: The initial OSD weight in TiB units. By default, this value is derived from OSD's capacity.
    •  
  • primaryAffinity: The primary-affinity value of an OSD, within range [0, 1] (default: 1).
    •  
  • osdsPerDevice**: The number of OSDs to create on each device. High performance devices such as NVMe can handle running multiple OSDs. If desired, this can be overridden for each node and each device.
    •  
  • encryptedDevice**: Encrypt OSD volumes using dmcrypt (\"true\" or \"false\"). By default this option is disabled. See encryption for more information on encryption in Ceph. (Resizing is not supported for host-based clusters.)
    •  
  • crushRoot: The value of the root CRUSH map label. The default is default. Generally, you should not need to change this. However, if any of your topology labels may have the value default, you need to change crushRoot to avoid conflicts, since CRUSH map values need to be unique.
    •  
  • enableCrushUpdates: Enables rook to update the pool crush rule using Pool Spec. Can cause data remapping if crush rule changes, Defaults to false.

Neither will the arbiter placement be merged with the all placement to allow the arbiter to be fully independent of other daemon placement. The remaining mons will still use the mon and/or all sections.
 
Note
 
Placement of OSD pods is controlled using the Storage Class Device Set, not the general placement configuration.

Resources should be specified so that the Rook components are handled after Kubernetes Pod Quality of Service classes. This allows to keep Rook components running when for example a node runs out of memory and the Rook components are not killed depending on their Quality of Service class.
 
You can set resource requests/limits for Rook components through the Resource Requirements/Limits structure in the following keys:

If the memory resource is declared Rook will automatically set the OSD configuration osd_memory_target to the same value.     This aims to ensure that the actual OSD memory consumption is consistent with the OSD pods' resource declaration.

  • mgr: Set resource requests/limits for MGRs
    •  
  • mgr-sidecar: Set resource requests/limits for the MGR sidecar, which is only created when mgr.count: 2.     The sidecar requires very few resources since it only executes every 15 seconds to query Ceph for the active     mgr and update the mgr services if the active mgr changed.

Note
 
We recommend not setting memory limits on the OSD prepare job to prevent OSD provisioning failure due to memory constraints. The OSD prepare job bursts memory usage during the OSD provisioning depending on the size of the device, typically 1-2Gi for large disks. The OSD prepare job only bursts a single time per OSD. All future runs of the OSD prepare job will detect the OSD is already provisioned and skip the provisioning.

  • osd: health check on the ceph osds
    •  
  • status: ceph health status check, periodically check the Ceph health state and reflects it in the CephCluster CR status field.
    •  
 
The liveness probe and startup probe of each daemon can also be controlled via livenessProbe and startupProbe respectively. The settings are valid for mon, mgr and osd. Here is a complete example for both daemonHealth, livenessProbe, and startupProbe:
 
healthCheck:\n  daemonHealth:\n    mon:\n      disabled: false\n      interval: 45s\n      timeout: 600s\n    osd:\n      disabled: false\n      interval: 60s\n    status:\n      disabled: false\n  livenessProbe:\n    mon:\n      disabled: false\n    mgr:\n      disabled: false\n    osd:\n      disabled: false\n  startupProbe:\n    mon:\n      disabled: false\n    mgr:\n      disabled: false\n    osd:\n      disabled: false\n
 
The probe's timing values and thresholds (but not the probe itself) can also be overridden. For more info, refer to the Kubernetes documentation.
 
For example, you could change the mgr probe by applying:
 
healthCheck:\n  startupProbe:\n    mgr:\n      disabled: false\n      probe:\n        initialDelaySeconds: 3\n        periodSeconds: 3\n        failureThreshold: 30\n  livenessProbe:\n    mgr:\n      disabled: false\n      probe:\n        initialDelaySeconds: 3\n        periodSeconds: 3\n
 
Changing the liveness probe is an advanced operation and should rarely be necessary. If you want to change these settings then modify the desired settings.

"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/ceph-cluster-crd/#osd-topology","title":"OSD Topology","text":"
The topology of the cluster is important in production environments where you want your data spread across failure domains. The topology can be controlled by adding labels to the nodes. When the labels are found on a node at first OSD deployment, Rook will add them to the desired level in the CRUSH map.
 
The complete list of labels in hierarchy order from highest to lowest is:
 
topology.kubernetes.io/region\ntopology.kubernetes.io/zone\ntopology.rook.io/datacenter\ntopology.rook.io/room\ntopology.rook.io/pod\ntopology.rook.io/pdu\ntopology.rook.io/row\ntopology.rook.io/rack\ntopology.rook.io/chassis\n
 
For example, if the following labels were added to a node:
 
kubectl label node mynode topology.kubernetes.io/zone=zone1\nkubectl label node mynode topology.rook.io/rack=zone1-rack1\n
 
These labels would result in the following hierarchy for OSDs on that node (this command can be run in the Rook toolbox):
 
$ ceph osd tree\nID CLASS WEIGHT  TYPE NAME                 STATUS REWEIGHT PRI-AFF\n-1       0.01358 root default\n-5       0.01358     zone zone1\n-4       0.01358         rack rack1\n-3       0.01358             host mynode\n0   hdd 0.00679                 osd.0         up  1.00000 1.00000\n1   hdd 0.00679                 osd.1         up  1.00000 1.00000\n
 
Ceph requires unique names at every level in the hierarchy (CRUSH map). For example, you cannot have two racks with the same name that are in different zones. Racks in different zones must be named uniquely.
 
Note that the host is added automatically to the hierarchy by Rook. The host cannot be specified with a topology label. All topology labels are optional.
 
Hint
 
When setting the node labels prior to CephCluster creation, these settings take immediate effect. However, applying this to an already deployed CephCluster requires removing each node from the cluster first and then re-adding it with new configuration to take effect. Do this node by node to keep your data safe! Check the result with ceph osd tree from the Rook Toolbox. The OSD tree should display the hierarchy for the nodes that already have been re-added.
 
To utilize the failureDomain based on the node labels, specify the corresponding option in the CephBlockPool
 
apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1\nkind: CephBlockPool\nmetadata:\n  name: replicapool\n  namespace: rook-ceph\nspec:\n  failureDomain: rack  # this matches the topology labels on nodes\n  replicated:\n    size: 3\n
 
This configuration will split the replication of volumes across unique racks in the data center setup.

Rook has the ability to cleanup resources and data that were deployed when a CephCluster is removed. The policy settings indicate which data should be forcibly deleted and in what way the data should be wiped. The cleanupPolicy has several fields:
 
     
  • confirmation: Only an empty string and yes-really-destroy-data are valid values for this field.     If this setting is empty, the cleanupPolicy settings will be ignored and Rook will not cleanup any resources during cluster removal.     To reinstall the cluster, the admin would then be required to follow the cleanup guide to delete the data on hosts.     If this setting is yes-really-destroy-data, the operator will automatically delete the data on hosts.     Because this cleanup policy is destructive, after the confirmation is set to yes-really-destroy-data     Rook will stop configuring the cluster as if the cluster is about to be destroyed.

kubectl -n rook-ceph patch cephcluster rook-ceph --type merge -p '{\"spec\":{\"cleanupPolicy\":{\"confirmation\":\"yes-really-destroy-data\"}}}'\n
 
Nothing will happen until the deletion of the CR is requested, so this can still be reverted. However, all new configuration by the operator will be blocked with this cleanup policy enabled.
 
Rook waits for the deletion of PVs provisioned using the cephCluster before proceeding to delete the cephCluster. To force deletion of the cephCluster without waiting for the PVs to be deleted, you can set the allowUninstallWithVolumes to true under spec.CleanupPolicy.

Rook deploys CephClusters using Kubernetes' software-defined networks by default. This is simple for users, provides necessary connectivity, and has good node-level security. However, this comes at the expense of additional latency, and the storage network must contend with Kubernetes applications for network bandwidth. It also means that Kubernetes applications coexist on the same network as Ceph daemons and can reach the Ceph cluster easily via network scanning.
 
Rook allows selecting alternative network providers to address some of these downsides, sometimes at the expense of others. Selecting alternative network providers is an advanced topic.
 
Note
 
This is an advanced networking topic. See also the CephCluster general networking settings.
"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/network-providers/#ceph-networking-fundamentals","title":"Ceph Networking Fundamentals","text":"
Ceph daemons can operate on up to two distinct networks: public, and cluster.
 
Ceph daemons always use the public network. The public network is used for client communications with the Ceph cluster (reads/writes). Rook configures this as the Kubernetes pod network by default. Ceph-CSI uses this network for PVCs.
 
The cluster network is optional and is used to isolate internal Ceph replication traffic. This includes additional copies of data replicated between OSDs during client reads/writes. This also includes OSD data recovery (re-replication) when OSDs or nodes go offline. If the cluster network is unspecified, the public network is used for this traffic instead.
 
Refer to Ceph networking documentation for deeper explanations of any topics.

network.addressRanges
 
This configuration is always optional but is important to understand.
 
Some Rook network providers allow specifying the public and network interfaces that Ceph will use for data traffic. Use addressRanges to specify this. For example:
 
  network:\n    provider: host\n    addressRanges:\n      public:\n        - \"192.168.100.0/24\"\n        - \"192.168.101.0/24\"\n      cluster:\n        - \"192.168.200.0/24\"\n
 
This public and cluster translate directly to Ceph's public_network and host_network configurations.
 
The default network provider cannot make use of these configurations.
 
Ceph public and cluster network configurations are allowed to change, but this should be done with great care. When updating underlying networks or Ceph network settings, Rook assumes that the current network configuration used by Ceph daemons will continue to operate as intended. Network changes are not applied to Ceph daemon pods (like OSDs and MDSes) until the pod is restarted. When making network changes, ensure that restarted pods will not lose connectivity to existing pods, and vice versa.
"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/network-providers/#host-networking","title":"Host Networking","text":"
network.provider: host
 
Host networking allows the Ceph cluster to use network interfaces on Kubernetes hosts for communication. This eliminates latency from the software-defined pod network, but it provides no host-level security isolation.
 
Ceph daemons will use any network available on the host for communication. To restrict Ceph to using only a specific specific host interfaces or networks, use addressRanges to select the network CIDRs Ceph will bind to on the host.
 
If the Ceph mons are expected to bind to a public network that is different from the IP address assign to the K8s node where the mon is running, the IP address for the mon can be set by adding an annotation to the node:
 
network.rook.io/mon-ip: <IPAddress>\n
 
If the host networking setting is changed in a cluster where mons are already running, the existing mons will remain running with the same network settings with which they were created. To complete the conversion to or from host networking after you update this setting, you will need to failover the mons in order to have mons on the desired network configuration.

Rook supports using Multus NetworkAttachmentDefinitions for Ceph public and cluster networks.
 
This allows Rook to attach any CNI to Ceph as a public and/or cluster network. This provides strong isolation between Kubernetes applications and Ceph cluster daemons.
 
While any CNI may be used, the intent is to allow use of CNIs which allow Ceph to be connected to specific host interfaces. This improves latency and bandwidth while preserving host-level network isolation.
"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/network-providers/#multus-prerequisites","title":"Multus Prerequisites","text":"
In order for host network-enabled Ceph-CSI to communicate with a Multus-enabled CephCluster, some setup is required for Kubernetes hosts.
 
These prerequisites require an understanding of how Multus networks are configured and how Rook uses them. Following sections will help clarify questions that may arise here.
 
Two basic requirements must be met:
 
     
  1. Kubernetes hosts must be able to route successfully to the Multus public network.
    2.  
  2. Pods on the Multus public network must be able to route successfully to Kubernetes hosts.
    3.  
 
These two requirements can be broken down further as follows:
 
     
  1. For routing Kubernetes hosts to the Multus public network, each host must ensure the following:
       
    1. the host must have an interface connected to the Multus public network (the \"public-network-interface\").
      2.  
    2. the \"public-network-interface\" must have an IP address.
      3.  
    3. a route must exist to direct traffic destined for pods on the Multus public network through     the \"public-network-interface\".
      4.  
     
    2.  
  2. For routing pods on the Multus public network to Kubernetes hosts, the public     NetworkAttachementDefinition must be configured to ensure the following:
       
    1. The definition must have its IP Address Management (IPAM) configured to route traffic destined     for nodes through the network.
      2.  
     
    3.  
  3. To ensure routing between the two networks works properly, no IP address assigned to a node can     overlap with any IP address assigned to a pod on the Multus public network.
    4.  
 
These requirements require careful planning, but some methods are able to meet these requirements more easily than others. Examples are provided after the full document to help understand and implement these requirements.
 
Tip
 
Keep in mind that there are often ten or more Rook/Ceph pods per host. The pod address space may need to be an order of magnitude larger (or more) than the host address space to allow the storage cluster to grow in the future.
"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/network-providers/#multus-configuration","title":"Multus Configuration","text":"
Refer to Multus documentation for details about how to set up and select Multus networks.
 
Rook will attempt to auto-discover the network CIDRs for selected public and/or cluster networks. This process is not guaranteed to succeed. Furthermore, this process will get a new network lease for each CephCluster reconcile. Specify addressRanges manually if the auto-detection process fails or if the selected network configuration cannot automatically recycle released network leases.
 
Only OSD pods will have both public and cluster networks attached (if specified). The rest of the Ceph component pods and CSI pods will only have the public network attached. The Rook operator will not have any networks attached; it proxies Ceph commands via a sidecar container in the mgr pod.
 
A NetworkAttachmentDefinition must exist before it can be used by Multus for a Ceph network. A recommended definition will look like the following:
 
apiVersion: \"k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1\"\nkind: NetworkAttachmentDefinition\nmetadata:\n  name: ceph-multus-net\nspec:\n  config: '{\n      \"cniVersion\": \"0.3.1\",\n      \"type\": \"macvlan\",\n      \"master\": \"eth0\",\n      \"mode\": \"bridge\",\n      \"ipam\": {\n        \"type\": \"whereabouts\",\n        \"range\": \"192.168.200.0/24\"\n      }\n    }'\n
 
     
  • Note that the example above does not specify information that would route pods on the network to     Kubernetes hosts.
    •  
  • Ensure that master matches the network interface on hosts that you want to use.     It must be the same across all hosts.
    •  
  • CNI type macvlan is highly recommended.     It has less CPU and memory overhead compared to traditional Linux bridge configurations.
    •  
  • IPAM type whereabouts is recommended     because it ensures each pod gets an IP address unique within the Kubernetes cluster. No DHCP     server is required. If a DHCP server is present on the network, ensure the IP range does not     overlap with the DHCP server's range.
    •  
 
NetworkAttachmentDefinitions are selected for the desired Ceph network using selectors. Selector values should include the namespace in which the NAD is present. public and cluster may be selected independently. If public is left unspecified, Rook will configure Ceph to use the Kubernetes pod network for Ceph client traffic.
 
Consider the example below which selects a hypothetical Kubernetes-wide Multus network in the default namespace for Ceph's public network and selects a Ceph-specific network in the rook-ceph namespace for Ceph's cluster network. The commented-out portion shows an example of how address ranges could be manually specified for the networks if needed.

We highly recommend validating your Multus configuration before you install a CephCluster. A tool exists to facilitate validating the Multus configuration. After installing the Rook operator and before installing any Custom Resources, run the tool from the operator pod.
 
The tool's CLI is designed to be as helpful as possible. Get help text for the multus validation tool like so:
 
     
  1.  
    Exec into the Rook operator pod
     
    kubectl --namespace rook-ceph exec -it deploy/rook-ceph-operator -- bash\n
     
    2.  
  2.  
    Output and read the tool's help text
     
    rook multus validation run --help\n
     
    3.  
  3.  
    Use the validation tool config file for advanced configuration.
     
    rook multus validation config --help\n
     
    Generate a sample config, that includes commented help text, using one of the available templates.
     
    4.  
  4.  
    Run the tool after configuring. If the tool fails, it will suggest what things may be preventing     Multus networks from working properly, and it will request the logs and outputs that will help     debug issues.
     
    5.  
 
Note
 
The tool requires host network access. Many Kubernetes distros have security limitations. Use the tool's serviceAccountName config option or --service-account-name CLI flag to instruct the tool to run using a particular ServiceAccount in order to allow necessary permissions. An example compatible with openshift is provided in the Rook repository at deploy/examples/multus-validation-test-openshift.yaml

Daemons leveraging Kubernetes service IPs (Monitors, Managers, Rados Gateways) are not listening on the NAD specified in the selectors. Instead the daemon listens on the default network, however the NAD is attached to the container, allowing the daemon to communicate with the rest of the cluster. There is work in progress to fix this issue in the multus-service repository. At the time of writing it's unclear when this will be supported.

    •  
  • Whereabouts will be used to assign IPs to the Multus public network
    •  
 
Node configuration must allow nodes to route to pods on the Multus public network.
 
Because pods will be connecting via Macvlan, and because Macvlan does not allow hosts and pods to route between each other, the host must also be connected via Macvlan.

Rook plans to remove CSI \"holder\" pods in Rook v1.16. CephCluster with csi-*plugin-holder-* pods present in the Rook operator namespace must plan to set CSI_DISABLE_HOLDER_PODS to \"true\" after Rook v1.14 is installed and before v1.16 is installed by following the migration sections below. CephClusters with no holder pods do not need to follow migration steps.
 
Helm users will set csi.disableHolderPods: true in values.yaml instead of CSI_DISABLE_HOLDER_PODS.
 
CephClusters that do not use network.provider: multus can follow the Disabling Holder Pods section.
 
CephClusters that use network.provider: multus will need to plan the migration more carefully. Read the Disabling Holder Pods with Multus section in full before beginning.
 
Hint
 
To determine if holder pods are deployed, use kubectl --namespace $ROOK_OPERATOR get pods | grep plugin-holder
"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/network-providers/#disabling-holder-pods-with-multus","title":"Disabling Holder Pods with Multus","text":"
This migration section applies when any CephCluster network.provider is \"multus\". If the scenario does not apply, skip ahead to the Disabling Holder Pods section.
 
Step 1
 
Before setting CSI_ENABLE_HOST_NETWORK: \"true\" and CSI_DISABLE_HOLDER_PODS: \"true\", thoroughly read through the Multus Prerequisites section. Use the prerequisites section to develop a plan for modifying host configurations as well as the public NetworkAttachmentDefinition.
 
Once the plan is developed, execute the plan by following the steps below.
 
Step 2
 
First, modify the public NetworkAttachmentDefinition as needed. For example, it may be necessary to add the routes directive to the Whereabouts IPAM configuration as in this example.
 
Step 3
 
Next, modify the host configurations in the host configuration system. The host configuration system may be something like PXE, ignition config, cloud-init, Ansible, or any other such system. A node reboot is likely necessary to apply configuration updates, but wait until the next step to reboot nodes.
 
If desired, check that the NetworkAttachmentDefinition modification and host configurations are compatible using the Multus validation tool. For the upgrade case, use the hostCheckOnly: true config option or --host-check-only CLI flag.
 
Step 4
 
After the NetworkAttachmentDefinition is modified, OSD pods must be restarted. It is easiest to complete this requirement at the same time nodes are being rebooted to apply configuration updates.
 
For each node in the Kubernetes cluster:
 
     
  1. cordon and drain the node
    2.  
  2. Wait for all pods to drain
    3.  
  3. Reboot the node, ensuring the new host configuration will be applied
    4.  
  4. uncordon and undrain the node
    5.  
  5. Wait for the node to be rehydrated and stable
    6.  
  6. Proceed to the next node
    7.  
 
By following this process, host configurations will be updated, and OSDs are also automatically restarted as part of the drain and undrain process on each node.
 
OSDs can be restarted manually if node configuration updates do not require reboot.
 
Step 5
 
Once all nodes are running the new configuration and all OSDs have been restarted, check that the new node and NetworkAttachmentDefinition configurations are compatible. To do so, verify that each node can ping OSD pods via the public network.
 
Use the toolbox or the kubectl plugin to list OSD IPs.
 
The example below uses the kubectl plugin, and the OSD public network is 192.168.20.0/24.
 
$ kubectl rook-ceph ceph osd dump | grep 'osd\\.'\nosd.0 up   in  weight 1 up_from 7 up_thru 0 down_at 0 last_clean_interval [0,0) [v2:192.168.20.19:6800/213587265,v1:192.168.20.19:6801/213587265] [v2:192.168.30.1:6800/213587265,v1:192.168.30.1:6801/213587265] exists,up 7ebbc19a-d45a-4b12-8fef-0f9423a59e78\nosd.1 up   in  weight 1 up_from 24 up_thru 24 down_at 20 last_clean_interval [8,23) [v2:192.168.20.20:6800/3144257456,v1:192.168.20.20:6801/3144257456] [v2:192.168.30.2:6804/3145257456,v1:192.168.30.2:6805/3145257456] exists,up 146b27da-d605-4138-9748-65603ed0dfa5\nosd.2 up   in  weight 1 up_from 21 up_thru 0 down_at 20 last_clean_interval [18,20) [v2:192.168.20.21:6800/1809748134,v1:192.168.20.21:6801/1809748134] [v2:192.168.30.3:6804/1810748134,v1:192.168.30.3:6805/1810748134] exists,up ff3d6592-634e-46fd-a0e4-4fe9fafc0386\n
 
Now check that each node (NODE) can reach OSDs over the public network:
 
$ ssh user@NODE\n$ user@NODE $> ping -c3 192.168.20.19\n# [truncated, successful output]\n$ user@NODE $> ping -c3 192.168.20.20\n# [truncated, successful output]\n$ user@NODE $> ping -c3 192.168.20.21\n# [truncated, successful output]\n
 
If any node does not get a successful ping to a running OSD, it is not safe to proceed. A problem may arise here for many reasons. Some reasons include: the host may not be properly attached to the Multus public network, the public NetworkAttachmentDefinition may not be properly configured to route back to the host, the host may have a firewall rule blocking the connection in either direction, or the network switch may have a firewall rule blocking the connection. Diagnose and fix the issue, then return to Step 1.
 
Step 6
 
If the above check succeeds for all nodes, proceed with the Disabling Holder Pods steps below.
"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/network-providers/#disabling-holder-pods","title":"Disabling Holder Pods","text":"
Step 1
 
If any CephClusters have Multus enabled (network.provider: \"multus\"), follow the Disabling Holder Pods with Multus steps above before continuing.
 
Step 2
 
Begin by setting CSI_DISABLE_HOLDER_PODS: \"true\". If CSI_ENABLE_HOST_NETWORK is set to \"false\", also set this value to \"true\" at the same time.
 
After this, csi-*plugin-* pods will restart, and csi-*plugin-holder-* pods will remain running.
 
Step 3
 
Check that CSI pods are using the correct host networking configuration using the example below as guidance (in the example, CSI_ENABLE_HOST_NETWORK is \"true\"):
 
$ kubectl -n rook-ceph get -o yaml daemonsets.apps csi-rbdplugin | grep -i hostnetwork\n      hostNetwork: true\n$ kubectl -n rook-ceph get -o yaml daemonsets.apps csi-cephfsplugin | grep -i hostnetwork\n      hostNetwork: true\n$ kubectl -n rook-ceph get -o yaml daemonsets.apps csi-nfsplugin | grep -i hostnetwork\n      hostNetwork: true\n
 
Step 4
 
At this stage, PVCs for running applications are still using the holder pods. These PVCs must be migrated from the holder to the new network. Follow the below process to do so.
 
For each node in the Kubernetes cluster:
 
     
  1. cordon and drain the node
    2.  
  2. Wait for all pods to drain
    3.  
  3. Delete all csi-*plugin-holder* pods on the node (a new holder will take it's place)
    4.  
  4. uncordon and undrain the node
    5.  
  5. Wait for the node to be rehydrated and stable
    6.  
  6. Proceed to the next node
    7.  
 
Step 5
 
After this process is done for all Kubernetes nodes, it is safe to delete the csi-*plugin-holder* daemonsets.
 
Delete the holder daemonsets using the example below as guidance:
 
$ kubectl -n rook-ceph get daemonset -o name | grep plugin-holder\ndaemonset.apps/csi-cephfsplugin-holder-my-cluster\ndaemonset.apps/csi-rbdplugin-holder-my-cluster\n\n$ kubectl -n rook-ceph delete daemonset.apps/csi-cephfsplugin-holder-my-cluster\ndaemonset.apps \"csi-cephfsplugin-holder-my-cluster\" deleted\n\n$ kubectl -n rook-ceph delete daemonset.apps/csi-rbdplugin-holder-my-cluster\ndaemonset.apps \"csi-rbdplugin-holder-my-cluster\" deleted\n
 
Step 6
 
The migration is now complete! Congratulations!

In the simplest case, Ceph OSD BlueStore consumes a single (primary) storage device. BlueStore is the engine used by the OSD to store data.
 
The storage device is normally used as a whole, occupying the full device that is managed directly by BlueStore. It is also possible to deploy BlueStore across additional devices such as a DB device. This device can be used for storing BlueStore\u2019s internal metadata. BlueStore (or rather, the embedded RocksDB) will put as much metadata as it can on the DB device to improve performance. If the DB device fills up, metadata will spill back onto the primary device (where it would have been otherwise). Again, it is only helpful to provision a DB device if it is faster than the primary device.
 
You can have multiple volumeClaimTemplates where each might either represent a device or a metadata device. An example of the storage section when specifying the metadata device is:

For environments that only have two failure domains available where data can be replicated, consider the case where one failure domain is down and the data is still fully available in the remaining failure domain. To support this scenario, Ceph has integrated support for \"stretch\" clusters.
 
Rook requires three zones. Two zones (A and B) will each run all types of Rook pods, which we call the \"data\" zones. Two mons run in each of the two data zones, while two replicas of the data are in each zone for a total of four data replicas. The third zone (arbiter) runs a single mon. No other Rook or Ceph daemons need to be run in the arbiter zone.
 
For this example, we assume the desired failure domain is a zone. Another failure domain can also be specified with a known topology node label which is already being used for OSD failure domains.

During deletion of a CephObjectStore resource, Rook protects against accidental or premature destruction of user data by blocking deletion if there are any object buckets in the object store being deleted. Buckets may have been created by users or by ObjectBucketClaims.
 
For deletion to be successful, all buckets in the object store must be removed. This may require manual deletion or removal of all ObjectBucketClaims. Alternately, the cephobjectstore.ceph.rook.io finalizer on the CephObjectStore can be removed to remove the Kubernetes Custom Resource, but the Ceph pools which store the data will not be removed in this case.
 
Rook will warn about which buckets are blocking deletion in three ways:
 
     
  1. An event will be registered on the CephObjectStore resource
    2.  
  2. A status condition will be added to the CephObjectStore resource
    3.  
  3. An error will be added to the Rook Ceph Operator log
    4.  
 
If the CephObjectStore is configured in a multisite setup the above conditions are applicable only to stores that belong to a single master zone. Otherwise the conditions are ignored. Even if the store is removed the user can access the data from a peer object store.

For more information about CephFS volume, subvolumegroup and subvolume refer to the Ceph docs.

"},{"location":"Contributing/development-environment/#minikube","title":"Minikube","text":"
The developers of Rook are working on Minikube and thus it is the recommended way to quickly get Rook up and running. Minikube should not be used for production but the Rook authors consider it great for development. While other tools such as k3d/kind are great, users have faced issues deploying Rook.
 
Always use a virtual machine when testing Rook. Never use your host system where local devices may mistakenly be consumed.
 
To install Minikube follow the official guide. It is recommended to use the kvm2 driver when running on a Linux machine and the hyperkit driver when running on a MacOS. Both allow to create and attach additional disks to the virtual machine. This is required for the Ceph OSD to consume one drive.  We don't recommend any other drivers for Rook. You will need a Minikube version 1.23 or higher.
 
Starting the cluster on Minikube is as simple as running:
 
# On Linux\nminikube start --disk-size=40g --extra-disks=1 --driver kvm2\n\n# On MacOS with Intel processor\nminikube start --disk-size=40g --extra-disks=1 --driver hyperkit\n\n# On MacOS with Apple silicon\nminikube start --disk-size=40g --extra-disks 1 --driver qemu\n
 
It is recommended to install a Docker client on your host system too. Depending on your operating system follow the official guide.
 
Stopping the cluster and destroying the Minikube virtual machine can be done with:
 
minikube delete\n

  • To clean up tests/scripts/helm.sh clean.

Note
 
These helper scripts depend on some artifacts under the _output/ directory generated during build time. These scripts should be run from the project root.

Developers can test quickly their changes by building and using the local Rook image on their minikube cluster.
 
1) Set the local Docker environment to use minikube:
 
```console\neval $(minikube docker-env -p minikube)\n```\n
 
2) Build your local Rook image. The following command will generate a Rook image labeled in the format local/ceph-<arch>.
 
```console\ncd <your_rook_src_directory>\nmake BUILD_REGISTRY=local\n```\n
 
3) Tag the generated image as rook/ceph:master so operator will pick it.
 
```console\ndocker tag \"local/ceph-$(go env GOARCH)\" 'rook/ceph:master'\n```\n
 
4) Create a Rook cluster in minikube, or if the Rook cluster is already configured, apply the new operator image by restarting the operator.

To accelerate the development process, users have the option to employ the script located at tests/scripts/create-dev-cluster.sh. This script is designed to rapidly set up a new minikube environment, apply the CRDs and the common file, and then utilize the cluster-test.yaml script to create the Rook cluster. Once setup, users can use the different *-test.yaml files from the deploy/examples/ directory to configure their clusters. This script supports the possibility of creating multiple rook clusters running on the same machine by using the option -p <profile-name>.

"},{"location":"Contributing/development-flow/#design-document","title":"Design Document","text":"
For new features of significant scope and complexity, a design document is recommended before work begins on the implementation. Create a design document if:
 
     
  • Adding a new CRD
    •  
  • Adding a significant feature.
    •  
 
For smaller, straightforward features and bug fixes, there is no need for a design document. Authoring a design document has many advantages:
 
     
  • Forces the author to think critically about the feature and identify potential issues early in the design
    •  
  • Obtain agreement amongst the community before code is written to avoid wasted effort in the wrong direction
    •  
  • Newcomers may more quickly understand the feature
    •  
 
Note
 
Writing code to prototype the feature while working on the design may be very useful to help flesh out the approach.
 
A design document should be written as a markdown file in the design folder. Follow the process outlined in the design template. There are many examples of previous design documents in that folder. Submit a pull request for the design to be discussed and approved by the community, just like any other change to the repository.

During the development lifecycle, keep your branch(es) updated with the latest upstream master. As others on the team push changes, rebase your commits on top of the latest. This avoids unnecessary merge commits and keeps the commit history clean.
 
Whenever an update is needed to the local repository, never perform a merge, always rebase. This will avoid merge commits in the git history. If there are any modified files, first stash them with git stash.
 
git fetch --all\ngit rebase upstream/master\n
 
Rebasing is a very powerful feature of Git. You need to understand how it works to avoid risking losing your work. Read about it in the Git documentation. Briefly, rebasing does the following:
 
     
  • \"Unwinds\" the local commits. The local commits are removed temporarily from the history.
    •  
  • The latest changes from upstream are added to the history
    •  
  • The local commits are re-applied one by one
    •  
  • If there are merge conflicts, there will be a prompt to fix them before continuing. Read the output closely. It will instruct how to complete the rebase.

  • When rebasing is completed, all of the commits are restored in the history.

helm-docs is a tool that generates the documentation for a helm chart automatically. If there are changes in the helm chart, the developer needs to run make docs (to run helm-docs) and check in the resulting autogenerated files. To make it easy to check locally for uncommitted changes generated by make docs, an additional make target exists: simply running make check-docs will run the docs auto-generation and will complain if this produces uncommitted changes to doc files. It is therefore a good habit to always run make check-docs locally before creating or updating a PR.

The integration tests run end-to-end tests on Rook in a running instance of Kubernetes. The framework includes scripts for starting Kubernetes so users can quickly spin up a Kubernetes cluster. The tests are generally designed to install Rook, run tests, and uninstall Rook.
 
The CI runs the integration tests with each PR and each master or release branch build. If the tests fail in a PR, access the tmate for debugging.
 
This document will outline the steps to run the integration tests locally in a minikube environment, should the CI not be sufficient to troubleshoot.
 
Hint
 
The CI is generally much simpler to troubleshoot than running these tests locally. Running the tests locally is rarely necessary.

The settings for Rook in OpenShift are described below, and are also included in the example yaml files:
 
     
  • operator-openshift.yaml: Creates the security context constraints and starts the operator deployment

Disks on nodes used by Rook for OSDs can be reset to a usable state. Note that these scripts are not one-size-fits-all. Please use them with discretion to ensure you are not removing data unrelated to Rook.
 
A single disk can usually be cleared with some or all of the steps below.
 
DISK=\"/dev/sdX\"\n\n# Zap the disk to a fresh, usable state (zap-all is important, b/c MBR has to be clean)\nsgdisk --zap-all $DISK\n\n# Wipe a large portion of the beginning of the disk to remove more LVM metadata that may be present\ndd if=/dev/zero of=\"$DISK\" bs=1M count=100 oflag=direct,dsync\n\n# SSDs may be better cleaned with blkdiscard instead of dd\nblkdiscard $DISK\n\n# Inform the OS of partition table changes\npartprobe $DISK\n
 
Ceph can leave LVM and device mapper data on storage drives, preventing them from being redeployed. These steps can clean former Ceph drives for reuse. Note that this only needs to be run once on each node. If you have only one Rook cluster and all Ceph disks are being wiped, run the following command.
 
# This command hangs on some systems: with caution, 'dmsetup remove_all --force' can be used\nls /dev/mapper/ceph-* | xargs -I% -- dmsetup remove %\n\n# ceph-volume setup can leave ceph-<UUID> directories in /dev and /dev/mapper (unnecessary clutter)\nrm -rf /dev/ceph-*\nrm -rf /dev/mapper/ceph--*\n
 
If disks are still reported locked, rebooting the node often helps clear LVM-related holds on disks.
 
If there are multiple Ceph clusters and some disks are not wiped yet, it is necessary to manually determine which disks map to which device mapper devices.

The most common issue cleaning up the cluster is that the rook-ceph namespace or the cluster CRD remain indefinitely in the terminating state. A namespace cannot be removed until all of its resources are removed, so determine which resources are pending termination.
 
If a pod is still terminating, consider forcefully terminating the pod (kubectl -n rook-ceph delete pod <name>).
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph get pod\n

Without proper cleanup, pods consuming the storage will be hung indefinitely until a system reboot.
 
The operator is responsible for removing the finalizer after the mounts have been cleaned up. If for some reason the operator is not able to remove the finalizer (i.e., the operator is not running anymore), delete the finalizer manually with the following command:

To keep your data safe in the cluster, Rook disallows deleting critical cluster resources by default. To override this behavior and force delete a specific custom resource, add the annotation rook.io/force-deletion=\"true\" to the resource and then delete it.

Rook is an open source cloud-native storage orchestrator, providing the platform, framework, and support for Ceph storage to natively integrate with cloud-native environments.
 
Ceph is a distributed storage system that provides file, block and object storage and is deployed in large scale production clusters.
 
Rook automates deployment and management of Ceph to provide self-managing, self-scaling, and self-healing storage services. The Rook operator does this by building on Kubernetes resources to deploy, configure, provision, scale, upgrade, and monitor Ceph.
 
The Ceph operator was declared stable in December 2018 in the Rook v0.9 release, providing a production storage platform for many years. Rook is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as a graduated level project.

The first step is to deploy the Rook operator.
 
Important
 
The Rook Helm Chart is available to deploy the operator instead of creating the below manifests.
 
Note
 
Check that the example yaml files are from a tagged release of Rook.
 
Note
 
These steps are for a standard production Rook deployment in Kubernetes. For Openshift, testing, or more options, see the example configurations documentation.
 
cd deploy/examples\nkubectl create -f crds.yaml -f common.yaml -f operator.yaml\n\n# verify the rook-ceph-operator is in the `Running` state before proceeding\nkubectl -n rook-ceph get pod\n
 
Before starting the operator in production, consider these settings:
 
     
  1. Some Rook features are disabled by default. See the operator.yaml for these and other advanced settings.
       
    1. Device discovery: Rook will watch for new devices to configure if the ROOK_ENABLE_DISCOVERY_DAEMON setting is enabled, commonly used in bare metal clusters.
      2.  
    2. Node affinity and tolerations: The CSI driver by default will run on any node in the cluster. To restrict the CSI driver affinity, several settings are available.
      3.

For the cluster to survive reboots, set the dataDirHostPath property that is valid for the hosts. For more settings, see the documentation on configuring the cluster.
 
Create the cluster:
 
kubectl create -f cluster.yaml\n
 
Verify the cluster is running by viewing the pods in the rook-ceph namespace.
 
The number of osd pods will depend on the number of nodes in the cluster and the number of devices configured. For the default cluster.yaml above, one OSD will be created for each available device found on each node.

Ceph is a highly scalable distributed storage solution for block storage, object storage, and shared filesystems with years of production deployments.
"},{"location":"Getting-Started/storage-architecture/#design","title":"Design","text":"
Rook enables Ceph storage to run on Kubernetes using Kubernetes primitives. With Ceph running in the Kubernetes cluster, Kubernetes applications can mount block devices and filesystems managed by Rook, or can use the S3/Swift API for object storage. The Rook operator automates configuration of storage components and monitors the cluster to ensure the storage remains available and healthy.
 
The Rook operator is a simple container that has all that is needed to bootstrap and monitor the storage cluster. The operator will start and monitor Ceph monitor pods, the Ceph OSD daemons to provide RADOS storage, as well as start and manage other Ceph daemons. The operator manages CRDs for pools, object stores (S3/Swift), and filesystems by initializing the pods and other resources necessary to run the services.
 
The operator will monitor the storage daemons to ensure the cluster is healthy. Ceph mons will be started or failed over when necessary, and other adjustments are made as the cluster grows or shrinks.  The operator will also watch for desired state changes specified in the Ceph custom resources (CRs) and apply the changes.
 
Rook automatically configures the Ceph-CSI driver to mount the storage to your pods. The rook/ceph image includes all necessary tools to manage the cluster. Rook is not in the Ceph data path. Many of the Ceph concepts like placement groups and crush maps are hidden so you don't have to worry about them. Instead, Rook creates a simplified user experience for admins that is in terms of physical resources, pools, volumes, filesystems, and buckets. Advanced configuration can be applied when needed with the Ceph tools.
 
Rook is implemented in golang. Ceph is implemented in C++ where the data path is highly optimized. We believe this combination offers the best of both worlds.
"},{"location":"Getting-Started/storage-architecture/#architecture","title":"Architecture","text":"
Example applications are shown above for the three supported storage types:
 
     
  • Block Storage is represented with a blue app, which has a ReadWriteOnce (RWO) volume mounted. The application can read and write to the RWO volume, while Ceph manages the IO.
    •  
  • Shared Filesystem is represented by two purple apps that are sharing a ReadWriteMany (RWX) volume. Both applications can actively read or write simultaneously to the volume. Ceph will ensure the data is safely protected for multiple writers with the MDS daemon.
    •  
  • Object storage is represented by an orange app that can read and write to a bucket with a standard S3 client.
    •  
 
Below the dotted line in the above diagram, the components fall into three categories:
 
     
  • Rook operator (blue layer): The operator automates configuration of Ceph
    •  
  • CSI plugins and provisioners (orange layer): The Ceph-CSI driver provides the provisioning and mounting of volumes
    •  
  • Ceph daemons (red layer): The Ceph daemons run the core storage architecture. See the Glossary to learn more about each daemon.

If you want to use an image from authenticated docker registry (e.g. for image cache/mirror), you'll need to add an imagePullSecret to all relevant service accounts. See the next section for the required service accounts.
 
The whole process is described in the official kubernetes documentation.
"},{"location":"Getting-Started/Prerequisites/authenticated-registry/#example-setup-for-a-ceph-cluster","title":"Example setup for a ceph cluster","text":"
To get you started, here's a quick rundown for the ceph example from the quickstart guide.
 
First, we'll create the secret for our registry as described here (the secret will be created in the rook-ceph namespace, make sure to change it if your Rook Ceph Operator/Cluster is in another namespace):
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph create secret docker-registry my-registry-secret --docker-server=DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVER --docker-username=DOCKER_USER --docker-password=DOCKER_PASSWORD --docker-email=DOCKER_EMAIL\n
 
Next we'll add the following snippet to all relevant service accounts as described here:
 
imagePullSecrets:\n- name: my-registry-secret\n
 
The service accounts are:
 
     
  • rook-ceph-system (namespace: rook-ceph): Will affect all pods created by the rook operator in the rook-ceph namespace.
    •  
  • rook-ceph-default (namespace: rook-ceph): Will affect most pods in the rook-ceph namespace.
    •  
  • rook-ceph-mgr (namespace: rook-ceph): Will affect the MGR pods in the rook-ceph namespace.
    •  
  • rook-ceph-osd (namespace: rook-ceph): Will affect the OSD pods in the rook-ceph namespace.
    •  
  • rook-ceph-rgw (namespace: rook-ceph): Will affect the RGW pods in the rook-ceph namespace.
    •  
 
Since it's the same procedure for all service accounts, here is just one example:
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph edit serviceaccount rook-ceph-default\n
 
apiVersion: v1\nkind: ServiceAccount\nmetadata:\n  name: rook-ceph-default\n  namespace: rook-ceph\nsecrets:\n- name: default-token-12345\n# Add the highlighted lines:\nimagePullSecrets:\n- name: my-registry-secret\n

To configure the Ceph storage cluster, at least one of these local storage types is required:
 
     
  • Raw devices (no partitions or formatted filesystems)
    •  
  • Raw partitions (no formatted filesystem)
    •  
  • LVM Logical Volumes (no formatted filesystem)
    •  
  • Persistent Volumes available from a storage class in block mode
    •  
 
Confirm whether the partitions or devices are formatted with filesystems with the following command:
 
$ lsblk -f\nNAME                  FSTYPE      LABEL UUID                                   MOUNTPOINT\nvda\n\u2514\u2500vda1                LVM2_member       >eSO50t-GkUV-YKTH-WsGq-hNJY-eKNf-3i07IB\n  \u251c\u2500ubuntu--vg-root   ext4              c2366f76-6e21-4f10-a8f3-6776212e2fe4   /\n  \u2514\u2500ubuntu--vg-swap_1 swap              9492a3dc-ad75-47cd-9596-678e8cf17ff9   [SWAP]\nvdb\n
 
If the FSTYPE field is not empty, there is a filesystem on top of the corresponding device. In this example, vdb is available to Rook, while vda and its partitions have a filesystem and are not available.
"},{"location":"Getting-Started/Prerequisites/prerequisites/#lvm-package","title":"LVM package","text":"
Ceph OSDs have a dependency on LVM in the following scenarios:
 
     
  • If encryption is enabled (encryptedDevice: \"true\" in the cluster CR)
    •  
  • A metadata device is specified
    •  
  • osdsPerDevice is greater than 1

LVM is not required for OSDs in these scenarios:
 
     
  • OSDs are created on raw devices or partitions
    •  
  • OSDs are created on PVCs using the storageClassDeviceSets
    •  
 
If LVM is required, LVM needs to be available on the hosts where OSDs will be running. Some Linux distributions do not ship with the lvm2 package. This package is required on all storage nodes in the k8s cluster to run Ceph OSDs. Without this package even though Rook will be able to successfully create the Ceph OSDs, when a node is rebooted the OSD pods running on the restarted node will fail to start. Please install LVM using your Linux distribution's package manager. For example:
 
CentOS:
 
sudo yum install -y lvm2\n
 
Ubuntu:
 
sudo apt-get install -y lvm2\n
 
RancherOS:
 
     
  • Since version 1.5.0 LVM is supported

Ceph requires a Linux kernel built with the RBD module. Many Linux distributions have this module, but not all. For example, the GKE Container-Optimised OS (COS) does not have RBD.
 
Test your Kubernetes nodes by running modprobe rbd. If the rbd module is 'not found', rebuild the kernel to include the rbd module, install a newer kernel, or choose a different Linux distribution.
 
Rook's default RBD configuration specifies only the layering feature, for broad compatibility with older kernels. If your Kubernetes nodes run a 5.4 or later kernel, additional feature flags can be enabled in the storage class. The fast-diff and object-map features are especially useful.

Disks on nodes used by Rook for OSDs can be reset to a usable state. Note that these scripts are not one-size-fits-all. Please use them with discretion to ensure you are not removing data unrelated to Rook.
 
A single disk can usually be cleared with some or all of the steps below.
 
DISK=\"/dev/sdX\"\n\n# Zap the disk to a fresh, usable state (zap-all is important, b/c MBR has to be clean)\nsgdisk --zap-all $DISK\n\n# Wipe a large portion of the beginning of the disk to remove more LVM metadata that may be present\ndd if=/dev/zero of=\"$DISK\" bs=1M count=100 oflag=direct,dsync\n\n# SSDs may be better cleaned with blkdiscard instead of dd\nblkdiscard $DISK\n\n# Inform the OS of partition table changes\npartprobe $DISK\n
 
Ceph can leave LVM and device mapper data on storage drives, preventing them from being redeployed. These steps can clean former Ceph drives for reuse. Note that this only needs to be run once on each node. If you have only one Rook cluster and all Ceph disks are being wiped, run the following command.
 
# This command hangs on some systems: with caution, 'dmsetup remove_all --force' can be used\nls /dev/mapper/ceph-* | xargs -I% -- dmsetup remove %\n\n# ceph-volume setup can leave ceph-<UUID> directories in /dev and /dev/mapper (unnecessary clutter)\nrm -rf /dev/ceph-*\nrm -rf /dev/mapper/ceph--*\n
 
If disks are still reported locked, rebooting the node often helps clear LVM-related holds on disks.
 
If there are multiple Ceph clusters and some disks are not wiped yet, it is necessary to manually determine which disks map to which device mapper devices.

The most common issue cleaning up the cluster is that the rook-ceph namespace or the cluster CRD remain indefinitely in the terminating state. A namespace cannot be removed until all of its resources are removed, so determine which resources are pending termination.
 
If a pod is still terminating, consider forcefully terminating the pod (kubectl -n rook-ceph delete pod <name>).
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph get pod\n

When a Cluster CRD is created, a finalizer is added automatically by the Rook operator. The finalizer will allow the operator to ensure that before the cluster CRD is deleted, all block and file mounts will be cleaned up. Without proper cleanup, pods consuming the storage will be hung indefinitely until a system reboot.
 
The operator is responsible for removing the finalizer after the mounts have been cleaned up. If for some reason the operator is not able to remove the finalizer (i.e., the operator is not running anymore), delete the finalizer manually with the following command:

To keep your data safe in the cluster, Rook disallows deleting critical cluster resources by default. To override this behavior and force delete a specific custom resource, add the annotation rook.io/force-deletion=\"true\" to the resource and then delete it. Rook will start a cleanup job that will delete all the related ceph resources created by that custom resource.

Info
 
The advised method for controlling Ceph configuration is to use the cephConfig: structure in the CephCluster CRD. It is highly recommended that this only be used when absolutely necessary and that the config be reset to an empty string if/when the configurations are no longer necessary. Configurations in the config file will make the Ceph cluster less configurable from the CLI and dashboard and may make future tuning or debugging difficult.
 
Setting configs via Ceph's CLI requires that at least one mon be available for the configs to be set, and setting configs via dashboard requires at least one mgr to be available. Ceph also has a number of very advanced settings that cannot be modified easily via the CLI or dashboard. In order to set configurations before monitors are available or to set advanced configuration settings, the rook-config-override ConfigMap exists, and the config field can be set with the contents of a ceph.conf file. The contents will be propagated to all mon, mgr, OSD, MDS, and RGW daemons as an /etc/ceph/ceph.conf file.
 
Warning
 
Rook performs no validation on the config, so the  validity of the settings is the user's responsibility.
 
If the rook-config-override ConfigMap is created before the cluster is started, the Ceph daemons will automatically pick up the settings. If you add the settings to the ConfigMap after the cluster has been initialized, each daemon will need to be restarted where you want the settings applied:
 
     
  • mons: ensure all three mons are online and healthy before restarting each mon pod, one at a time.
    •  
  • mgrs: the pods are stateless and can be restarted as needed, but note that this will disrupt the     Ceph dashboard during restart.
    •  
  • OSDs: restart your the pods by deleting them, one at a time, and running ceph -s between each restart to ensure the cluster goes back to \"active/clean\" state.
    •  
  • RGW: the pods are stateless and can be restarted as needed.
    •  
  • MDS: the pods are stateless and can be restarted as needed.
    •  
 
After the pod restart, the new settings should be in effect. Note that if the ConfigMap in the Ceph cluster's namespace is created before the cluster is created, the daemons will pick up the settings at first launch.
 
To automate the restart of the Ceph daemon pods, you will need to trigger an update to the pod specs. The simplest way to trigger the update is to add annotations or labels to the CephCluster CR for the daemons you want to restart. The operator will then proceed with a rolling update, similar to any other update to the cluster.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/ceph-configuration/#example","title":"Example","text":"
In this example we will set the default pool size to two, and tell OSD daemons not to change the weight of OSDs on startup.
 
Warning
 
Modify Ceph settings carefully. You are leaving the sandbox tested by Rook. Changing the settings could result in unhealthy daemons or even data loss if used incorrectly.
 
When the Rook Operator creates a cluster, a placeholder ConfigMap is created that will allow you to override Ceph configuration settings. When the daemon pods are started, the settings specified in this ConfigMap will be merged with the default settings generated by Rook.
 
The default override settings are blank. Cutting out the extraneous properties, we would see the following defaults after creating a cluster:

To apply your desired configuration, you will need to update this ConfigMap. The next time the daemon pod(s) start, they will use the updated configs.

The CRUSH weight controls the ratio of data that should be distributed to each OSD.  This also means a higher or lower amount of disk I/O operations for an OSD with higher/lower weight, respectively.
 
By default OSDs get a weight relative to their storage capacity, which maximizes overall cluster capacity by filling all drives at the same rate, even if drive sizes vary.  This should work for most use-cases, but the following situations could warrant weight changes:
 
     
  • Your cluster has some relatively slow OSDs or nodes. Lowering their weight can     reduce the impact of this bottleneck.
    •  
  • You're using bluestore drives provisioned with Rook v0.3.1 or older.  In this     case you may notice OSD weights did not get set relative to their storage     capacity.  Changing the weight can fix this and maximize cluster capacity.

When pools are set with a size setting greater than one, data is replicated between nodes and OSDs.  For every chunk of data a Primary OSD is selected to be used for reading that data to be sent to clients.  You can control how likely it is for an OSD to become a Primary using the Primary Affinity setting.  This is similar to the OSD weight setting, except it only affects reads on the storage device, not capacity or writes.
 
In this example we will ensure that osd.0 is only selected as Primary if all other OSDs holding data replicas are unavailable:
 
ceph osd primary-affinity osd.0 0\n

Tip
 
This documentation is left for historical purposes. It is still valid, but Rook offers native support for this feature via the CephCluster network configuration.
 
It is possible to configure ceph to leverage a dedicated network for the OSDs to communicate across. A useful overview is the Ceph Networks section of the Ceph documentation. If you declare a cluster network, OSDs will route heartbeat, object replication, and recovery traffic over the cluster network. This may improve performance compared to using a single network, especially when slower network technologies are used. The tradeoff is additional expense and subtle failure modes.
 
Two changes are necessary to the configuration to enable this capability:
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/ceph-configuration/#use-hostnetwork-in-the-cluster-configuration","title":"Use hostNetwork in the cluster configuration","text":"
Enable the hostNetwork setting in the Ceph Cluster CRD configuration. For example,
 
  network:\n    provider: host\n
 
Important
 
Changing this setting is not supported in a running Rook cluster. Host networking should be configured when the cluster is first created.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/ceph-configuration/#define-the-subnets-to-use-for-public-and-private-osd-networks","title":"Define the subnets to use for public and private OSD networks","text":"
Edit the rook-config-override configmap to define the custom network configuration:
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph edit configmap rook-config-override\n
 
In the editor, add a custom configuration to instruct ceph which subnet is the public network and which subnet is the private network. For example:
 
apiVersion: v1\ndata:\n  config: |\n    [global]\n    public network = 10.0.7.0/24\n    cluster network = 10.0.10.0/24\n    public addr = \"\"\n    cluster addr = \"\"\n
 
After applying the updated rook-config-override configmap, it will be necessary to restart the OSDs by deleting the OSD pods in order to apply the change. Restart the OSD pods by deleting them, one at a time, and running ceph -s between each restart to ensure the cluster goes back to \"active/clean\" state.

Failure in a distributed system is to be expected. Ceph was designed from the ground up to deal with the failures of a distributed system. At the next layer, Rook was designed from the ground up to automate recovery of Ceph components that traditionally required admin intervention. Monitor health is the most critical piece of the equation that Rook actively monitors. If they are not in a good state, the operator will take action to restore their health and keep your cluster protected from disaster.
 
The Ceph monitors (mons) are the brains of the distributed cluster. They control all of the metadata that is necessary to store and retrieve your data as well as keep it safe. If the monitors are not in a healthy state you will risk losing all the data in your system.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/ceph-mon-health/#monitor-identity","title":"Monitor Identity","text":"
Each monitor in a Ceph cluster has a static identity. Every component in the cluster is aware of the identity, and that identity must be immutable. The identity of a mon is its IP address.
 
To have an immutable IP address in Kubernetes, Rook creates a K8s service for each monitor. The clusterIP of the service will act as the stable identity.
 
When a monitor pod starts, it will bind to its podIP and it will expect communication to be via its service IP address.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/ceph-mon-health/#monitor-quorum","title":"Monitor Quorum","text":"
Multiple mons work together to provide redundancy by each keeping a copy of the metadata. A variation of the distributed algorithm Paxos is used to establish consensus about the state of the cluster. Paxos requires a super-majority of mons to be running in order to establish quorum and perform operations in the cluster. If the majority of mons are not running, quorum is lost and nothing can be done in the cluster.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/ceph-mon-health/#how-many-mons","title":"How many mons?","text":"
Most commonly a cluster will have three mons. This would mean that one mon could go down and allow the cluster to remain healthy. You would still have 2/3 mons running to give you consensus in the cluster for any operation.
 
For highest availability, an odd number of mons is required. Fifty percent of mons will not be sufficient to maintain quorum. If you had two mons and one of them went down, you would have 1/2 of quorum. Since that is not a super-majority, the cluster would have to wait until the second mon is up again. Rook allows an even number of mons for higher durability. See the disaster recovery guide if quorum is lost and to recover mon quorum from a single mon.
 
The number of mons to create in a cluster depends on your tolerance for losing a node. If you have 1 mon zero nodes can be lost to maintain quorum. With 3 mons one node can be lost, and with 5 mons two nodes can be lost. Because the Rook operator will automatically start a new monitor if one dies, you typically only need three mons. The more mons you have, the more overhead there will be to make a change to the cluster, which could become a performance issue in a large cluster.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/ceph-mon-health/#mitigating-monitor-failure","title":"Mitigating Monitor Failure","text":"
Whatever the reason that a mon may fail (power failure, software crash, software hang, etc), there are several layers of mitigation in place to help recover the mon. It is always better to bring an existing mon back up than to failover to bring up a new mon.
 
The Rook operator creates a mon with a Deployment to ensure that the mon pod will always be restarted if it fails. If a mon pod stops for any reason, Kubernetes will automatically start the pod up again.
 
In order for a mon to support a pod/node restart, the mon metadata is persisted to disk, either under the dataDirHostPath specified in the CephCluster CR, or in the volume defined by the volumeClaimTemplate in the CephCluster CR. This will allow the mon to start back up with its existing metadata and continue where it left off even if the pod had to be re-created. Without this persistence, the mon cannot restart.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/ceph-mon-health/#failing-over-a-monitor","title":"Failing over a Monitor","text":"
If a mon is unhealthy and the K8s pod restart or liveness probe are not sufficient to bring a mon back up, the operator will make the decision to terminate the unhealthy monitor deployment and bring up a new monitor with a new identity. This is an operation that must be done while mon quorum is maintained by other mons in the cluster.
 
The operator checks for mon health every 45 seconds. If a monitor is down, the operator will wait 10 minutes before failing over the unhealthy mon. These two intervals can be configured as parameters to the CephCluster CR (see below). If the intervals are too short, it could be unhealthy if the mons are failed over too aggressively. If the intervals are too long, the cluster could be at risk of losing quorum if a new monitor is not brought up before another mon fails.
 
healthCheck:\n  daemonHealth:\n    mon:\n      disabled: false\n      interval: 45s\n      timeout: 10m\n
 
If you want to force a mon to failover for testing or other purposes, you can scale down the mon deployment to 0, then wait for the timeout. Note that the operator may scale up the mon again automatically if the operator is restarted or if a full reconcile is triggered, such as when the CephCluster CR is updated.
 
If the mon pod is in pending state and couldn't be assigned to a node (say, due to node drain), then the operator will wait for the timeout again before the mon failover. So the timeout waiting for the mon failover will be doubled in this case.
 
To disable monitor automatic failover, the timeout can be set to 0, if the monitor goes out of quorum Rook will never fail it over onto another node. This is especially useful for planned maintenance.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/ceph-mon-health/#example-failover","title":"Example Failover","text":"

    3.  
  3. Check if your cluster CR will find the new device. If you are using useAllDevices: true you can skip this step. If your cluster CR lists individual devices or uses a device filter you may need to update the CR.
    4.  
  4. The operator ideally will automatically create the new OSD within a few minutes of adding the new device or updating the CR. If you don't see a new OSD automatically created, restart the operator (by deleting the operator pod) to trigger the OSD creation.
    5.  
  5. Verify if the OSD is created on the node by running ceph osd tree from the toolbox.

Note
 
The OSD might have a different ID than the previous OSD that was replaced.

For most any Ceph cluster, the user will want to--and may need to--change some Ceph configurations. These changes often may be warranted in order to alter performance to meet SLAs or to update default data resiliency settings.
 
Warning
 
Modify Ceph settings carefully, and review the Ceph configuration documentation before making any changes. Changing the settings could result in unhealthy daemons or even data loss if used incorrectly.

Rook and Ceph both strive to make configuration as easy as possible, but there are some configuration options which users are well advised to consider for any production cluster.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/configuration/#default-pg-and-pgp-counts","title":"Default PG and PGP counts","text":"
The number of PGs and PGPs can be configured on a per-pool basis, but it is advised to set default values that are appropriate for your Ceph cluster. Appropriate values depend on the number of OSDs the user expects to have backing each pool. These can be configured by declaring pg_num and pgp_num parameters under CephBlockPool resource.
 
For determining the right value for pg_num please refer placement group sizing
 
In this example configuration, 128 PGs are applied to the pool:
 
apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1\nkind: CephBlockPool\nmetadata:\n  name: ceph-block-pool-test\n  namespace: rook-ceph\nspec:\n  deviceClass: hdd\n  replicated:\n    size: 3\nspec:\n  parameters:\n    pg_num: '128' # create the pool with a pre-configured placement group number\n    pgp_num: '128' # this should at least match `pg_num` so that all PGs are used\n
 
Ceph OSD and Pool config docs provide detailed information about how to tune these parameters.
 
Nautilus introduced the PG auto-scaler mgr module capable of automatically managing PG and PGP values for pools. Please see Ceph New in Nautilus: PG merging and autotuning for more information about this module.
 
The pg_autoscaler module is enabled by default.
 
To disable this module, in the CephCluster CR:
 
spec:\n  mgr:\n    modules:\n    - name: pg_autoscaler\n      enabled: false\n
 
With that setting, the autoscaler will be enabled for all new pools. If you do not desire to have the autoscaler enabled for all new pools, you will need to use the Rook toolbox to enable the module and enable the autoscaling on individual pools.

When using the token-based authentication, a Kubernetes Secret must be created to hold the token. This is governed by the tokenSecretName parameter.
 
Note: Rook supports all the Vault environment variables.
 
The Kubernetes Secret rook-vault-token should contain:

vault token create -policy=rook\n
 
Refer to the official vault document for more details on how to create a token. For which policy to apply see the next section.
 
In order for Rook to connect to Vault, you must configure the following in your CephCluster template:

The Relocation operation is the process of switching production to a backup facility(normally your recovery site) or vice versa.

Follow the below steps for planned migration of workload from the primary cluster to the secondary cluster:
 
     
  • Scale down all the application pods which are using the     mirrored PVC on the Primary Cluster.
    •  
  • Take a backup of PVC and PV object from the primary cluster.     This can be done using some backup tools like     velero.
    •  
  • Update VolumeReplication CR to set replicationState to secondary at the Primary Site.     When the operator sees this change, it will pass the information down to the     driver via GRPC request to mark the dataSource as secondary.

  • If you are manually recreating the PVC and PV on the secondary cluster,     remove the claimRef section in the PV objects. (See this for details)

There are three CSI drivers integrated with Rook that are used in different scenarios:
 
     
  • RBD: This block storage driver is optimized for RWO pod access where only one pod may access the     storage. More information.
    •  
  • CephFS: This file storage driver allows for RWX with one or more pods accessing the same storage.     More information.
    •  
  • NFS (experimental): This file storage driver allows creating NFS exports that can be mounted on     pods, or directly via an NFS client from inside or outside the     Kubernetes cluster. More information

To use a custom prefix for the CSI drivers instead of the namespace prefix, set the CSI_DRIVER_NAME_PREFIX environment variable in the operator configmap. For instance, to use the prefix my-prefix for the CSI drivers, set the following in the operator configmap:
 
kubectl patch cm rook-ceph-operator-config -n rook-ceph -p $'data:\\n \"CSI_DRIVER_NAME_PREFIX\": \"my-prefix\"'\n
 
Once the configmap is updated, the CSI drivers will be deployed with the my-prefix prefix. The same prefix must be set in both the storageclass and snapshotclass. For example, to use the prefix my-prefix for the CSI drivers, update the provisioner in the storageclass:
 
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1\nkind: StorageClass\nmetadata:\n  name: rook-ceph-block-sc\nprovisioner: my-prefix.rbd.csi.ceph.com\n...\n

Ceph-CSI supports encrypting PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs) for both RBD and CephFS. This can be achieved using LUKS for RBD and fscrypt for CephFS. More details on encrypting RBD PVCs can be found here, which includes a full list of supported encryption configurations. More details on encrypting CephFS PVCs can be found here. A sample KMS configmap can be found here.
 
Note
 
Not all KMS are compatible with fscrypt. Generally, KMS that either store secrets to use directly (like Vault) or allow access to the plain password (like Kubernetes Secrets) are compatible.
 
Note
 
Rook also supports OSD-level encryption (see encryptedDevice option here).
 
Using both RBD PVC encryption and OSD encryption at the same time will lead to double encryption and may reduce read/write performance.
 
Existing Ceph clusters can also enable Ceph-CSI PVC encryption support and multiple kinds of encryption KMS can be used on the same Ceph cluster using different storageclasses.
 
The following steps demonstrate the common process for enabling encryption support for both RBD and CephFS:
 
     
  • Create the rook-ceph-csi-kms-config configmap with required encryption configuration in the same namespace where the Rook operator is deployed. An example is shown below:
    •  
 
apiVersion: v1\nkind: ConfigMap\nmetadata:\n  name: rook-ceph-csi-kms-config\n  namespace: rook-ceph\ndata:\n  config.json: |-\n    {\n      \"user-secret-metadata\": {\n        \"encryptionKMSType\": \"metadata\",\n        \"secretName\": \"storage-encryption-secret\"\n      }\n    }\n
 
     
  • Update the rook-ceph-operator-config configmap and patch the     following configurations
    •  
 
kubectl patch cm rook-ceph-operator-config -nrook-ceph -p $'data:\\n \"CSI_ENABLE_ENCRYPTION\": \"true\"'\n
 
     
  • Create the resources (secrets, configmaps etc) required by the encryption type. In this case, create storage-encryption-secret secret in the namespace of the PVC as follows:
    •  
 
apiVersion: v1\nkind: Secret\nmetadata:\n  name: storage-encryption-secret\n  namespace: rook-ceph\nstringData:\n  encryptionPassphrase: test-encryption\n
 
     
  • Create a new RBD storageclass or CephFS storageclass with additional parameters encrypted: \"true\" and encryptionKMSID: \"<key used in configmap>\". An example is shown below:
    •  
 
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1\nkind: StorageClass\nmetadata:\n  name: rook-ceph-block-encrypted\nparameters:\n  # additional parameters required for encryption\n  encrypted: \"true\"\n  encryptionKMSID: \"user-secret-metadata\"\n# ...\n
 
     
  • PVCs created using the new storageclass will be encrypted.
    •  
 
Note
 
CephFS encryption requires fscrypt support in Linux kernel, kernel version 6.6 or higher.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Ceph-CSI/ceph-csi-drivers/#enable-read-affinity-for-rbd-and-cephfs-volumes","title":"Enable Read affinity for RBD and CephFS volumes","text":"
Ceph CSI supports mapping RBD volumes with KRBD options and mounting CephFS volumes with ceph mount options to allow serving reads from an OSD closest to the client, according to OSD locations defined in the CRUSH map and topology labels on nodes.
 
Refer to the krbd-options document for more details.
 
Execute the following step to enable read affinity for a specific ceph cluster:
 
     
  • Patch the ceph cluster CR to enable read affinity:
    •  
 
kubectl patch cephclusters.ceph.rook.io <cluster-name> -n rook-ceph -p '{\"spec\":{\"csi\":{\"readAffinity\":{\"enabled\": true}}}}'\n
 
  csi:\n    readAffinity:\n      enabled: true\n
 
     
  • Add topology labels to the Kubernetes nodes. The same labels may be used as mentioned in the OSD topology topic.
    •  
 
Ceph CSI will extract the CRUSH location from the topology labels found on the node and pass it though krbd options during mapping RBD volumes.

Each Rook Ceph cluster has some built in metrics collectors/exporters for monitoring with Prometheus.
 
If you do not have Prometheus running, follow the steps below to enable monitoring of Rook. If your cluster already contains a Prometheus instance, it will automatically discover Rook's scrape endpoint using the standard prometheus.io/scrape and prometheus.io/port annotations.
 
Attention
 
This assumes that the Prometheus instances is searching all your Kubernetes namespaces for Pods with these annotations. If prometheus is already installed in a cluster, it may not be configured to watch for third-party service monitors such as for Rook. Normally you should be able to add the prometheus annotations prometheus.io/scrape=true and prometheus.io/port={port} and prometheus would automatically configure the scrape points and start gathering metrics. If prometheus isn't configured to do this, see the prometheus operator docs.

In order to create NFS exports via the CSI driver, you must first create a CephFilesystem to serve as the underlying storage for the exports, and you must create a CephNFS to run an NFS server that will expose the exports. RGWs cannot be used for the CSI driver.
 
From the examples, filesystem.yaml creates a CephFilesystem called myfs, and nfs.yaml creates an NFS server called my-nfs.
 
You may need to enable or disable the Ceph orchestrator.
 
You must also create a storage class. Ceph CSI is designed to support any arbitrary Ceph cluster, but we are focused here only on Ceph clusters deployed by Rook.

SSSD requires a configuration file in order to configure its connection to the user ID mapping system (e.g., LDAP). The file follows the sssd.conf format documented in its man pages.
 
Methods of providing the configuration file are documented in the NFS CRD security section.
 
Recommendations:
 
     
  • The SSSD sidecar only requires the namespace switch (a.k.a. \"nsswitch\" or \"nss\"). We recommend     enabling only the nss service to lower CPU usage.
    •  
  • NFS-Ganesha does not require user enumeration. We recommend leaving this option unset or setting     enumerate = false to speed up lookups and reduce RAM usage.
    •  
  • NFS exports created via documented methods do not require listing all members of groups. We     recommend setting ignore_group_members = true to speed up LDAP lookups. Only customized exports     that set manage_gids need to consider this option.
    •  
 
A sample sssd.conf file is shown below.
 
[sssd]\n# Only the nss service is required for the SSSD sidecar.\nservices = nss\ndomains = default\nconfig_file_version = 2\n\n[nss]\nfilter_users = root\n\n[domain/default]\nid_provider = ldap\nldap_uri = ldap://server-address.example.net\nldap_search_base = dc=example,dc=net\nldap_default_bind_dn = cn=admin,dc=example,dc=net\nldap_default_authtok_type = password\nldap_default_authtok = my-password\nldap_user_search_base = ou=users,dc=example,dc=net\nldap_group_search_base = ou=groups,dc=example,dc=net\nldap_access_filter = memberOf=cn=rook,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=net\n# recommended options for speeding up LDAP lookups:\nenumerate = false\nignore_group_members = true\n
 
The SSSD configuration file may be omitted from the CephNFS spec if desired. In this case, Rook will not set /etc/sssd/sssd.conf in any way. This allows you to manage the sssd.conf file yourself however you wish. For example, you may build it into your custom Ceph container image, or use the Vault agent injector to securely add the file via annotations on the CephNFS spec (passed to the NFS server pods).

In this case, Rook will not add any config files to /etc/krb5.conf.rook/, but it will still configure Kerberos to load any config files it finds there. This allows you to manage these files yourself however you wish.
 
Similarly, the keytab file (keytabFile) may be  omitted from the CephNFS spec if  desired. In this case, Rook will not set /etc/krb5.keytab in any way. This allows you to manage the krb5.keytab file yourself however you wish.
 
As an example for either of the above cases, you may build files into your custom Ceph container image or use the Vault agent injector to securely add files via annotations on the CephNFS spec (passed to the NFS server pods).
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/NFS/nfs-security/#nfs-service-principals","title":"NFS service principals","text":"
The Kerberos service principal used by Rook's CephNFS servers to authenticate with the Kerberos server is built up from 3 components:
 
     
  1. the configured from spec.security.kerberos.principalName that acts as the service name
    2.  
  2. the hostname of the server on which NFS-Ganesha is running which is in turn built up from the     namespace and name of the CephNFS resource, joined by a hyphen. e.g., rooknamespace-nfsname
    3.  
  3. the realm as configured by the kerberos config file(s) from spec.security.kerberos.configFiles
    4.  
 
The full service principal name is constructed as <principalName>/<namespace>-<name>@<realm>. For ease of scaling up or down CephNFS clusters, this principal is used for all servers in the CephNFS cluster.
 
Users must add this service principal to their Kerberos server configuration.
 
Example
 
For a CephNFS named \"fileshare\" in the \"business-unit\" Kubernetes namespace that has a principalName of \"sales-apac\" and where the Kerberos realm is \"EXAMPLE.NET\", the full principal name will be sales-apac/business-unit-fileshare@EXAMPLE.NET.
 
Advanced
 
spec.security.kerberos.principalName corresponds directly to NFS-Ganesha's NFS_KRB5:PrincipalName config. See the NFS-Ganesha wiki for more details.

The kerberos domain name is used to setup the domain name in /etc/idmapd.conf. This domain name is used by idmap to map the kerberos credential to the user uid/gid. Without this configured, NFS-Ganesha will be unable to map the Kerberos principal to an uid/gid and will instead use the configured anonuid/anongid (default: -2) when accessing the local filesystem.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/NFS/nfs/","title":"NFS Storage Overview","text":"
NFS storage can be mounted with read/write permission from multiple pods. NFS storage may be especially useful for leveraging an existing Rook cluster to provide NFS storage for legacy applications that assume an NFS client connection. Such applications may not have been migrated to Kubernetes or might not yet support PVCs. Rook NFS storage can provide access to the same network filesystem storage from within the Kubernetes cluster via PVC while simultaneously providing access via direct client connection from within or outside of the Kubernetes cluster.
 
Warning
 
Simultaneous access to NFS storage from Pods and from external clients complicates NFS user ID mapping significantly. Client IDs mapped from external clients will not be the same as the IDs associated with the NFS CSI driver, which mount exports for Kubernetes pods.
 
Warning
 
Due to a number of Ceph issues and changes, Rook officially only supports Ceph v16.2.7 or higher for CephNFS. If you are using an earlier version, upgrade your Ceph version following the advice given in Rook's v1.9 NFS docs.
 
Note
 
CephNFSes support NFSv4.1+ access only. Serving earlier protocols inhibits responsiveness after a server restart.

Ceph's NFS CLI can create NFS exports that are backed by CephFS (a CephFilesystem) or Ceph Object Gateway (a CephObjectStore). cluster_id or cluster-name in the Ceph NFS docs normally refers to the name of the NFS cluster, which is the CephNFS name in the Rook context.
 
For creating an NFS export for the CephNFS and CephFilesystem example manifests, the below command can be used. This creates an export for the /test pseudo path.
 
ceph nfs export create cephfs my-nfs /test myfs\n
 
The below command will list the current NFS exports for the example CephNFS cluster, which will give the output shown for the current example.
 
$ ceph nfs export ls my-nfs\n[\n  \"/test\"\n]\n
 
The simple /test export's info can be listed as well. Notice from the example that only NFS protocol v4 via TCP is supported.
 
$ ceph nfs export info my-nfs /test\n{\n  \"export_id\": 1,\n  \"path\": \"/\",\n  \"cluster_id\": \"my-nfs\",\n  \"pseudo\": \"/test\",\n  \"access_type\": \"RW\",\n  \"squash\": \"none\",\n  \"security_label\": true,\n  \"protocols\": [\n    4\n  ],\n  \"transports\": [\n    \"TCP\"\n  ],\n  \"fsal\": {\n    \"name\": \"CEPH\",\n    \"user_id\": \"nfs.my-nfs.1\",\n    \"fs_name\": \"myfs\"\n  },\n  \"clients\": []\n}\n

For each NFS client, choose an NFS service to use for the connection. With NFS v4, you can mount an export by its path using a mount command like below. You can mount all exports at once by omitting the export path and leaving the directory as just /.

Rook supports the creation of new buckets and access to existing buckets via two custom resources:
 
     
  • an Object Bucket Claim (OBC) is custom resource which requests a bucket (new or existing) and is described by a Custom Resource Definition (CRD) shown below.
    •  
  • an Object Bucket (OB) is a custom resource automatically generated when a bucket is provisioned. It is a global resource, typically not visible to non-admin users, and contains information specific to the bucket. It is described by an OB CRD, also shown below.
    •  
 
An OBC references a storage class which is created by an administrator. The storage class defines whether the bucket requested is a new bucket or an existing bucket. It also defines the bucket retention policy. Users request a new or existing bucket by creating an OBC which is shown below. The ceph provisioner detects the OBC and creates a new bucket or grants access to an existing bucket, depending the storage class referenced in the OBC. It also generates a Secret which provides credentials to access the bucket, and a ConfigMap which contains the bucket's endpoint. Application pods consume the information in the Secret and ConfigMap to access the bucket. Please note that to make provisioner watch the cluster namespace only you need to set ROOK_OBC_WATCH_OPERATOR_NAMESPACE to true in the operator manifest, otherwise it watches all namespaces.
 
The OBC provisioner name found in the storage class by default includes the operator namespace as a prefix. A custom prefix can be applied by the operator setting in the rook-ceph-operator-config configmap: ROOK_OBC_PROVISIONER_NAME_PREFIX.
 
Note
 
Changing the prefix is not supported on existing clusters. This may impact the function of existing OBCs.

Notifications can be associated with buckets created via ObjectBucketClaims by adding labels to an ObjectBucketClaim with the following format:
 
bucket-notification-<notification name>: <notification name>\n
 
The CephBucketTopic, CephBucketNotification and ObjectBucketClaim must all belong to the same namespace.

A CephBucketTopic represents an endpoint (of types: Kafka, AMQP0.9.1 or HTTP), or a specific resource inside this endpoint (e.g a Kafka or an AMQP topic, or a specific URI in an HTTP server).

Notifications may also be sent asynchronously. They will be committed into persistent storage and then asynchronously sent to the topic\u2019s configured endpoint. In this case, the only latency added to the original operation is of committing the notification to persistent storage.

Multisite is a feature of Ceph that allows object stores to replicate their data over multiple Ceph clusters.
 
Multisite also allows object stores to be independent and isolated from other object stores in a cluster.
 
When a ceph-object-store is created without the zone section; a realm, zone group, and zone is created with the same name as the ceph-object-store.
 
Since it is the only ceph-object-store in the realm, the data in the ceph-object-store remain independent and isolated from others on the same cluster.
 
When a ceph-object-store is created with the zone section, the ceph-object-store will join a custom created zone, zone group, and realm each with a different names than its own.
 
This allows the ceph-object-store to replicate its data over multiple Ceph clusters.
 
To review core multisite concepts please read the ceph-multisite design overview.

The first zone group created in a realm is the master zone group. The first zone created in a zone group is the master zone.
 
When a non-master zone or non-master zone group is created, the zone group or zone is not in the Ceph Radosgw Multisite Period until an object-store is created in that zone (and zone group).
 
The zone will create the pools for the object-store(s) that are in the zone to use.
 
When one of the multisite CRs (realm, zone group, zone) is deleted the underlying ceph realm/zone group/zone is not deleted, neither are the pools created by the zone. See the \"Multisite Cleanup\" section for more information.

If an admin wants to sync data from another cluster, the admin needs to pull a realm on a Rook Ceph cluster from another Rook Ceph (or Ceph) cluster.
 
To begin doing this, the admin needs 2 pieces of information:
 
     
  1. An endpoint from the realm being pulled from
    2.  
  2. The access key and the system key of the system user from the realm being pulled from.

To pull a Ceph realm from a remote Ceph cluster, an endpoint must be added to the CephObjectRealm's pull section in the spec. This endpoint must be from the master zone in the master zone group of that realm.
 
If an admin does not know of an endpoint that fits this criteria, the admin can find such an endpoint on the remote Ceph cluster (via the tool box if it is a Rook Ceph Cluster) by running:
 
$ radosgw-admin zonegroup get --rgw-realm=$REALM_NAME --rgw-zonegroup=$MASTER_ZONEGROUP_NAME\n{\n    ...\n    \"endpoints\": [http://10.17.159.77:80],\n    ...\n}\n
 
A list of endpoints in the master zone group in the master zone is in the endpoints section of the JSON output of the zonegoup get command.
 
This endpoint must also be resolvable from the new Rook Ceph cluster. To test this run the curl command on the endpoint:

For example, to create multisite CRs for an object store named my-store:

The OSDs must be located on different nodes, because the failureDomain is set to host and the erasureCoded chunk settings require at least 3 different OSDs (2 dataChunks + 1 codingChunks).
 
More details on the settings available for a CephObjectStore (including the Auth section) can be found in the Object Store CRD document.
 
Set the url in the auth section to point to the keystone service url.
 
Prior to using keystone as authentication provider an admin user for rook to access and configure the keystone admin api is required.

For each user accessing the object store using Swift, Ceph implicitly creates a user which must be represented in Keystone with an authorized counterpart. Keystone checks for a user of the same name. Based on the name and other parameters ((OpenStack Keystone) project, (OpenStack Keystone) role) Keystone allows or disallows access to a swift container or object. Note that the implicitly created users are creaded in addition to any users that are created through other means, so Keystone authentication is not exclusive.

Rook can configure the Ceph Object Store for several different scenarios. See each linked section for the configuration details.
 
     
  1. Create a local object store with dedicated Ceph pools. This option is recommended if a single object store is required, and is the simplest to get started.
    2.  
  2. Create one or more object stores with shared Ceph pools. This option is recommended when multiple object stores are required.
    3.  
  3. Create one or more object stores with pool placement targets and storage classes. This configuration allows Rook to provide different object placement options to object store clients.
    4.  
  4. Connect to an RGW service in an external Ceph cluster, rather than create a local object store.

Updating the configuration of an object store between these types is not supported.
 
Rook has the ability to either deploy an object store in Kubernetes or to connect to an external RGW service. Most commonly, the object store will be configured in Kubernetes by Rook. Alternatively see the external section to consume an existing Ceph cluster with Rados Gateways from Rook.

Attention
 
This feature is experimental.
 
This section contains a guide on how to configure RGW's pool placement and storage classes with Rook.
 
Object Storage API allows users to override where bucket data will be stored during bucket creation. With <LocationConstraint> parameter in S3 API and X-Storage-Policy header in SWIFT. Similarly, users can override where object data will be stored by setting X-Amz-Storage-Class and X-Object-Storage-Class during object creation.
 
To enable this feature, configure poolPlacements representing a list of possible bucket data locations. Each poolPlacement must have:
 
     
  • a unique name to refer to it in <LocationConstraint> or X-Storage-Policy. Name default-placement is reserved and can be used only if placement also marked as default.
    •  
  • optional default flag to use given placement by default, meaning that it will be used if no location constraint is provided. Only one placement in the list can be marked as default.
    •  
  • dataPoolName and metadataPoolName representing object data and metadata locations. In Rook, these data locations are backed by CephBlockPool. poolPlacements and storageClasses specs refer pools by name. This means that all pools should be defined in advance. Similarly to sharedPools, the same pool can be reused across multiple ObjectStores and/or poolPlacements/storageClasses because of RADOS namespaces. Here, each pool will be namespaced with <object store name>.<placement name>.<pool type> key.
    •  
  • optional dataNonECPoolName - extra pool for data that cannot use erasure coding (ex: multi-part uploads). If not set, metadataPoolName will be used.
    •  
  • optional list of placement storageClasses. Classes defined per placement, which means that even classes of default placement will be available only within this placement and not others. Each placement will automatically have default storage class named STANDARD. STANDARD class always points to placement dataPoolName and cannot be removed or redefined. Each storage class must have:
       
    • name (unique within placement). RGW allows arbitrary name for StorageClasses, however some clients/libs insist on AWS names so it is recommended to use one of the valid x-amz-storage-class values for better compatibility: STANDARD | REDUCED_REDUNDANCY | STANDARD_IA | ONEZONE_IA | INTELLIGENT_TIERING | GLACIER | DEEP_ARCHIVE | OUTPOSTS | GLACIER_IR | SNOW | EXPRESS_ONEZONE. See AWS docs.
      •  
    • dataPoolName - overrides placement data pool when this class is selected by user.
      •  
     
    •  
 
Example: Configure CephObjectStore with default placement us pools and placement europe pointing to pools in corresponding geographies. These geographical locations are only an example. Placement name can be arbitrary and could reflect the backing pool's replication factor, device class, or failure domain. This example also  defines storage class REDUCED_REDUNDANCY for each placement.
 
apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1\nkind: CephObjectStore\nmetadata:\n  name: my-store\n  namespace: rook-ceph\nspec:\n  gateway:\n    port: 80\n    instances: 1\n  sharedPools:\n    poolPlacements:\n    - name: us\n      default: true\n      metadataPoolName: \"us-data-pool\"\n      dataPoolName: \"us-meta-pool\"\n      storageClasses:\n      - name: REDUCED_REDUNDANCY\n        dataPoolName: \"us-reduced-pool\"\n    - name: europe\n      metadataPoolName: \"eu-meta-pool\"\n      dataPoolName: \"eu-data-pool\"\n      storageClasses:\n      - name: REDUCED_REDUNDANCY\n        dataPoolName: \"eu-reduced-pool\"\n
 
S3 clients can direct objects into the pools defined in the above. The example below uses the s5cmd CLI tool which is pre-installed in the toolbox pod:
 
# make bucket without location constraint -> will use \"us\"\ns5cmd mb s3://bucket1\n\n# put object to bucket1 without storage class -> end up in \"us-data-pool\"\ns5cmd put obj s3://bucket1/obj\n\n# put object to bucket1 with  \"STANDARD\" storage class -> end up in \"us-data-pool\"\ns5cmd put obj s3://bucket1/obj --storage-class=STANDARD\n\n# put object to bucket1 with \"REDUCED_REDUNDANCY\" storage class -> end up in \"us-reduced-pool\"\ns5cmd put obj s3://bucket1/obj --storage-class=REDUCED_REDUNDANCY\n\n\n# make bucket with location constraint europe\ns5cmd mb s3://bucket2 --region=my-store:europe\n\n# put object to bucket2 without storage class -> end up in \"eu-data-pool\"\ns5cmd put obj s3://bucket2/obj\n\n# put object to bucket2 with  \"STANDARD\" storage class -> end up in \"eu-data-pool\"\ns5cmd put obj s3://bucket2/obj --storage-class=STANDARD\n\n# put object to bucket2 with \"REDUCED_REDUNDANCY\" storage class -> end up in \"eu-reduced-pool\"\ns5cmd put obj s3://bucket2/obj --storage-class=REDUCED_REDUNDANCY\n

Rook can connect to existing RGW gateways to work in conjunction with the external mode of the CephCluster CRD. First, create a rgw-admin-ops-user user in the Ceph cluster with the necessary caps:
 
radosgw-admin user create --uid=rgw-admin-ops-user --display-name=\"RGW Admin Ops User\" --caps=\"buckets=*;users=*;usage=read;metadata=read;zone=read\" --rgw-realm=<realm-name> --rgw-zonegroup=<zonegroup-name> --rgw-zone=<zone-name>\n
 
The rgw-admin-ops-user user is required by the Rook operator to manage buckets and users via the admin ops and s3 api. The multisite configuration needs to be specified only if the admin sets up multisite for RGW.
 
Then create a secret with the user credentials:
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph create secret generic --type=\"kubernetes.io/rook\" rgw-admin-ops-user --from-literal=accessKey=<access key of the user> --from-literal=secretKey=<secret key of the user>\n
 
For an external CephCluster, configure Rook to consume external RGW servers with the following:
 
apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1\nkind: CephObjectStore\nmetadata:\n  name: external-store\n  namespace: rook-ceph\nspec:\n  gateway:\n    port: 8080\n    externalRgwEndpoints:\n      - ip: 192.168.39.182\n        # hostname: example.com\n
 
See object-external.yaml for a more detailed example.
 
Even though multiple externalRgwEndpoints can be specified, it is best to use a single endpoint. Only the first endpoint in the list will be advertised to any consuming resources like CephObjectStoreUsers, ObjectBucketClaims, or COSI resources. If there are multiple external RGW endpoints, add load balancer in front of them, then use the single load balancer endpoint in the externalRgwEndpoints list.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Object-Storage-RGW/object-storage/#object-store-endpoint","title":"Object store endpoint","text":"
The CephObjectStore resource status.info contains endpoint (and secureEndpoint) fields, which report the endpoint that can be used to access the object store as a client. This endpoint is also advertised as the default endpoint for CephObjectStoreUsers, ObjectBucketClaims, and Container Object Store Interface (COSI) resources.
 
Each object store also creates a Kubernetes service that can be used as a client endpoint from within the Kubernetes cluster. The DNS name of the service is rook-ceph-rgw-<objectStoreName>.<objectStoreNamespace>.svc. This service DNS name is the default endpoint (and secureEndpoint).
 
For external clusters, the default endpoint is the first spec.gateway.externalRgwEndpoint instead of the service DNS name.
 
The advertised endpoint can be overridden using advertiseEndpoint in the spec.hosting config.
 
Rook always uses the advertised endpoint to perform management operations against the object store. When TLS is enabled, the TLS certificate must always specify the endpoint DNS name to allow secure management operations.

Info
 
This document is a guide for creating bucket with an Object Bucket Claim (OBC). To create a bucket with the experimental COSI Driver, see the COSI documentation.
 
Now that the object store is configured, next we need to create a bucket where a client can read and write objects. A bucket can be created by defining a storage class, similar to the pattern used by block and file storage. First, define the storage class that will allow object clients to create a bucket. The storage class defines the object storage system, the bucket retention policy, and other properties required by the administrator. Save the following as storageclass-bucket-delete.yaml (the example is named as such due to the Delete reclaim policy).
 
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1\nkind: StorageClass\nmetadata:\n   name: rook-ceph-bucket\n# Change \"rook-ceph\" provisioner prefix to match the operator namespace if needed\nprovisioner: rook-ceph.ceph.rook.io/bucket\nreclaimPolicy: Delete\nparameters:\n  objectStoreName: my-store\n  objectStoreNamespace: rook-ceph\n
 
If you\u2019ve deployed the Rook operator in a namespace other than rook-ceph, change the prefix in the provisioner to match the namespace you used. For example, if the Rook operator is running in the namespace my-namespace the provisioner value should be my-namespace.ceph.rook.io/bucket.
 
kubectl create -f storageclass-bucket-delete.yaml\n
 
Based on this storage class, an object client can now request a bucket by creating an Object Bucket Claim (OBC). When the OBC is created, the Rook bucket provisioner will create a new bucket. Notice that the OBC references the storage class that was created above. Save the following as object-bucket-claim-delete.yaml (the example is named as such due to the Delete reclaim policy):
 
apiVersion: objectbucket.io/v1alpha1\nkind: ObjectBucketClaim\nmetadata:\n  name: ceph-bucket\nspec:\n  generateBucketName: ceph-bkt\n  storageClassName: rook-ceph-bucket\n
 
kubectl create -f object-bucket-claim-delete.yaml\n
 
Now that the claim is created, the operator will create the bucket as well as generate other artifacts to enable access to the bucket. A secret and ConfigMap are created with the same name as the OBC and in the same namespace. The secret contains credentials used by the application pod to access the bucket. The ConfigMap contains bucket endpoint information and is also consumed by the pod. See the Object Bucket Claim Documentation for more details on the CephObjectBucketClaims.

Rook sets up the object storage so pods will have access internal to the cluster. If your applications are running outside the cluster, you will need to setup an external service through a NodePort.
 
First, note the service that exposes RGW internal to the cluster. We will leave this service intact and create a new service for external access.
 
$ kubectl -n rook-ceph get service rook-ceph-rgw-my-store\nNAME                     CLUSTER-IP   EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)     AGE\nrook-ceph-rgw-my-store   10.3.0.177   <none>        80/TCP      2m\n
 
Save the external service as rgw-external.yaml:
 
apiVersion: v1\nkind: Service\nmetadata:\n  name: rook-ceph-rgw-my-store-external\n  namespace: rook-ceph\n  labels:\n    app: rook-ceph-rgw\n    rook_cluster: rook-ceph\n    rook_object_store: my-store\nspec:\n  ports:\n  - name: rgw\n    port: 80\n    protocol: TCP\n    targetPort: 80\n  selector:\n    app: rook-ceph-rgw\n    rook_cluster: rook-ceph\n    rook_object_store: my-store\n  sessionAffinity: None\n  type: NodePort\n
 
Now create the external service.
 
kubectl create -f rgw-external.yaml\n
 
See both rgw services running and notice what port the external service is running on:
 
$ kubectl -n rook-ceph get service rook-ceph-rgw-my-store rook-ceph-rgw-my-store-external\nNAME                              TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)        AGE\nrook-ceph-rgw-my-store            ClusterIP   10.104.82.228    <none>        80/TCP         4m\nrook-ceph-rgw-my-store-external   NodePort    10.111.113.237   <none>        80:31536/TCP   39s\n
 
Internally the rgw service is running on port 80. The external port in this case is 31536. Now you can access the CephObjectStore from anywhere! All you need is the hostname for any machine in the cluster, the external port, and the user credentials.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Object-Storage-RGW/object-storage/#create-a-user","title":"Create a User","text":"
If you need to create an independent set of user credentials to access the S3 endpoint, create a CephObjectStoreUser.

See the Object Store User CRD for more detail on the settings available for a CephObjectStoreUser.
 
apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1\nkind: CephObjectStoreUser\nmetadata:\n  name: my-user\n  namespace: rook-ceph\nspec:\n  store: my-store\n  displayName: \"my display name\"\n
 
When the CephObjectStoreUser is created, the Rook operator will then create the RGW user on the specified CephObjectStore and store the Access Key and Secret Key in a kubernetes secret in the same namespace as the CephObjectStoreUser.
 
# Create the object store user\nkubectl create -f object-user.yaml\n

"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Object-Storage-RGW/object-storage/#enable-tls","title":"Enable TLS","text":"
TLS is critical for securing object storage data access, and it is assumed as a default by many S3 clients. TLS is enabled for CephObjectStores by configuring gateway options. Set securePort, and give Rook access to a TLS certificate using sslCertificateRef. caBundleRef may be necessary as well to give the deployed gateway (RGW) access to the TLS certificate's CA signing bundle.
 
Ceph RGW only supports a single TLS certificate. If the given TLS certificate is a concatenation of multiple certificates, only the first certificate will be used by the RGW as the server certificate. Therefore, the TLS certificate given must include all endpoints that clients will use for access as subject alternate names (SANs).
 
The CephObjectStore service endpoint must be added as a SAN on the TLS certificate. If it is not possible to add the service DNS name as a SAN on the TLS certificate, set hosting.advertiseEndpoint to a TLS-approved endpoint to help ensure Rook and clients use secure data access.
 
Note
 
OpenShift users can use add service.beta.openshift.io/serving-cert-secret-name as a service annotation instead of using sslCertificateRef.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Object-Storage-RGW/object-storage/#virtual-host-style-bucket-access","title":"Virtual host-style Bucket Access","text":"
The Ceph Object Gateway supports accessing buckets using virtual host-style addressing, which allows addressing buckets using the bucket name as a subdomain in the endpoint.
 
AWS has deprecated the the alternative path-style addressing mode which is Rook and Ceph's default. As a result, many end-user applications have begun to remove path-style support entirely. Many production clusters will have to enable virtual host-style address.
 
Virtual host-style addressing requires 2 things:
 
     
  1. An endpoint that supports wildcard addressing
    2.  
  2. CephObjectStore hosting configuration.
    3.  
 
Wildcard addressing can be configured in myriad ways. Some options:
 
     
  • Kubernetes ingress loadbalancer
    •  
  • Openshift DNS operator
    •  
 
The minimum recommended hosting configuration is exemplified below. It is important to ensure that Rook advertises the wildcard-addressable endpoint as a priority over the default. TLS is also recommended for security, and the configured TLS certificate should specify the advertise endpoint.
 
spec:\n  ...\n  hosting:\n    advertiseEndpoint:\n      dnsName: my.wildcard.addressable.endpoint.com\n      port: 443\n      useTls: true\n
 
A more complex hosting configuration is exemplified below. In this example, two wildcard-addressable endpoints are available. One is a wildcard-addressable ingress service that is accessible to clients outside of the Kubernetes cluster (s3.ingress.domain.com). The other is a wildcard-addressable Kubernetes cluster service (s3.rook-ceph.svc). The cluster service is the preferred advertise endpoint because the internal service avoids the possibility of the ingress service's router being a bottleneck for S3 client operations.
 
spec:\n  ...\n  hosting:\n    advertiseEndpoint:\n      dnsName: s3.rook-ceph.svc\n      port: 443\n      useTls: true\n  dnsNames:\n    - s3.ingress.domain.com\n

Ceph filesystem mirroring is a process of asynchronous replication of snapshots to a remote CephFS file system. Snapshots are synchronized by mirroring snapshot data followed by creating a snapshot with the same name (for a given directory on the remote file system) as the snapshot being synchronized. It is generally useful when planning for Disaster Recovery. Mirroring is for clusters that are geographically distributed and stretching a single cluster is not possible due to high latencies.

The CephFS CSI driver uses quotas to enforce the PVC size requested.
 
Only newer kernels support CephFS quotas (kernel version of at least 4.17). If you require quotas to be enforced and the kernel driver does not support it, you can disable the kernel driver and use the FUSE client. This can be done by setting CSI_FORCE_CEPHFS_KERNEL_CLIENT: false in the operator deployment (operator.yaml). However, it is important to know that when the FUSE client is enabled, there is an issue that during upgrade the application pods will be disconnected from the mount and will need to be restarted.

  •  
    On this PV, change the persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy parameter to Retain to avoid it from being deleted when you will delete PVCs. Don't forget to change it back to Delete when you want to remove the shared volume (see full procedure in the next section).
     
    •  
  •  
    Copy the YAML content of the PV, and create a new static PV with the same information and some modifications. From the original YAML, you must:
     
       
    • Modify the original name. To keep track, the best solution is to append to the original name the namespace name where you want your new PV. In this example newnamespace.
      •  
    • Modify the volumeHandle. Again append the targeted namespace.
      •  
    • Add the staticVolume: \"true\" entry to the volumeAttributes.
      •  
    • Add the rootPath entry to the volumeAttributes, with the same content as subvolumePath.
      •  
    • In the nodeStageSecretRef section, change the name to point to the secret you created earlier, rook-csi-cephfs-node-user.
      •  
    • Remove the unnecessary information before applying the YAML (claimRef, managedFields,...):
      •  
     
    •  
 
Your YAML should look like this:
 
kind: PersistentVolume\napiVersion: v1\nmetadata:\n  name: pvc-a02dd277-cb26-4c1e-9434-478ebc321e22-newnamespace\nspec:\n  capacity:\n    storage: 100Gi\n  csi:\n    driver: rook.cephfs.csi.ceph.com\n    volumeHandle: >-\n      0001-0011-rook-0000000000000001-8a528de0-e274-11ec-b069-0a580a800213-newnamespace\n    volumeAttributes:\n      clusterID: rook\n      fsName: rook-cephfilesystem\n      storage.kubernetes.io/csiProvisionerIdentity: 1654174264855-8081-rook.cephfs.csi.ceph.com\n      subvolumeName: csi-vol-8a528de0-e274-11ec-b069-0a580a800213\n      subvolumePath: >-\n        /volumes/csi/csi-vol-8a528de0-e274-11ec-b069-0a580a800213/da98fb83-fff3-485a-a0a9-57c227cb67ec\n      rootPath: >-\n        /volumes/csi/csi-vol-8a528de0-e274-11ec-b069-0a580a800213/da98fb83-fff3-485a-a0a9-57c227cb67ec\n      staticVolume: \"true\"\n    nodeStageSecretRef:\n      name: rook-csi-cephfs-node\n      namespace: rook\n  accessModes:\n    - ReadWriteMany\n  persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain\n  storageClassName: rook-cephfs\n  volumeMode: Filesystem\n
 
     
  • In a new or other namespace, create a new PVC that will use this new PV you created. You simply have to point to it in the volumeName parameter. Make sure you enter the same size as the original PVC!:
    •  
 
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim\napiVersion: v1\nmetadata:\n  name: second-pvc\n  namespace: newnamespace\n  finalizers:\n    - kubernetes.io/pvc-protection\nspec:\n  accessModes:\n    - ReadWriteMany\n  resources:\n    requests:\n      storage: 100Gi\n  volumeName: pvc-a02dd277-cb26-4c1e-9434-478ebc321e22-newnamespace\n  storageClassName: rook-cephfs\n  volumeMode: Filesystem\n
 
You have now access to the same CephFS subvolume from different PVCs in different namespaces. Redo the previous steps (copy PV with a new name, create a PVC pointing to it) in each namespace you want to use this subvolume.
 
Note: the new PVCs/PVs we have created are static. Therefore CephCSI does not support snapshots, clones, resizing or delete operations for them. If those operations are required, you must make them on the original PVC.

As the same CephFS volume is used by different PVCs/PVs, you must proceed very orderly to remove it properly.
 
     
  • Delete the static PVCs in the different namespaces, but keep the original one!

  • Delete the corresponding static PVs that should now have been marked as \"Released\". Again, don't delete the original one yet!
    •  
  • Edit the original PV, changing back the persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy from Retain to Delete.

Due to this bug, the global mount for a Volume that is mounted multiple times on the same node will not be unmounted. This does not result in any particular problem, apart from polluting the logs with unmount error messages, or having many different mounts hanging if you create and delete many shared PVCs, or you don't really use them.
 
Until this issue is solved, either on the Rook or Kubelet side, you can always manually unmount the unwanted hanging global mounts on the nodes:
 
     
  • Log onto each node where the volume has been mounted.

Many of these problem cases are hard to summarize down to a short phrase that adequately describes the problem. Each problem will start with a bulleted list of symptoms. Keep in mind that all symptoms may not apply depending on the configuration of Rook. If the majority of the symptoms are seen there is a fair chance you are experiencing that problem.
 
If after trying the suggestions found on this page and the problem is not resolved, the Rook team is very happy to help you troubleshoot the issues in their Slack channel. Once you have registered for the Rook Slack, proceed to the #ceph channel to ask for assistance.

There are two main categories of information you will need to investigate issues in the cluster:
 
     
  1. Kubernetes status and logs documented here
    2.  
  2. Ceph cluster status (see upcoming Ceph tools section)
    3.  
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-common-issues/#ceph-tools","title":"Ceph Tools","text":"
After you verify the basic health of the running pods, next you will want to run Ceph tools for status of the storage components. There are two ways to run the Ceph tools, either in the Rook toolbox or inside other Rook pods that are already running.
 
     
  • Logs on a specific node to find why a PVC is failing to mount
    •  
  • See the log collection topic for a script that will help you gather the logs
    •  
  • Other artifacts:
       
    • The monitors that are expected to be in quorum: kubectl -n <cluster-namespace> get configmap rook-ceph-mon-endpoints -o yaml | grep data

The rook-ceph-tools pod provides a simple environment to run Ceph tools. Once the pod is up and running, connect to the pod to execute Ceph commands to evaluate that current state of the cluster.
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph exec -it $(kubectl -n rook-ceph get pod -l \"app=rook-ceph-tools\" -o jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.name}') bash\n
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-common-issues/#ceph-commands","title":"Ceph Commands","text":"
Here are some common commands to troubleshoot a Ceph cluster:
 
     
  • ceph status
    •  
  • ceph osd status
    •  
  • ceph osd df
    •  
  • ceph osd utilization
    •  
  • ceph osd pool stats
    •  
  • ceph osd tree
    •  
  • ceph pg stat
    •  
 
The first two status commands provide the overall cluster health. The normal state for cluster operations is HEALTH_OK, but will still function when the state is in a HEALTH_WARN state. If you are in a WARN state, then the cluster is in a condition that it may enter the HEALTH_ERROR state at which point all disk I/O operations are halted. If a HEALTH_WARN state is observed, then one should take action to prevent the cluster from halting when it enters the HEALTH_ERROR state.
 
There are many Ceph sub-commands to look at and manipulate Ceph objects, well beyond the scope this document. See the Ceph documentation for more details of gathering information about the health of the cluster. In addition, there are other helpful hints and some best practices located in the Advanced Configuration section. Of particular note, there are scripts for collecting logs and gathering OSD information there.

What is happening here is that the MON pods are restarting and one or more of the Ceph daemons are not getting configured with the proper cluster information. This is commonly the result of not specifying a value for dataDirHostPath in your Cluster CRD.
 
The dataDirHostPath setting specifies a path on the local host for the Ceph daemons to store configuration and data. Setting this to a path like /var/lib/rook, reapplying your Cluster CRD and restarting all the Ceph daemons (MON, MGR, OSD, RGW) should solve this problem. After the Ceph daemons have been restarted, it is advisable to restart the rook-tools pod.

  • Rook operator is running
    •  
  • Either a single mon starts or the mons start very slowly (at least several minutes apart)
    •  
  • The crash-collector pods are crashing
    •  
  • No mgr, osd, or other daemons are created except the CSI driver
    •  
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-common-issues/#investigation_1","title":"Investigation","text":"
When the operator is starting a cluster, the operator will start one mon at a time and check that they are healthy before continuing to bring up all three mons. If the first mon is not detected healthy, the operator will continue to check until it is healthy. If the first mon fails to start, a second and then a third mon may attempt to start. However, they will never form quorum and the orchestration will be blocked from proceeding.
 
The crash-collector pods will be blocked from starting until the mons have formed quorum the first time.
 
There are several common causes for the mons failing to form quorum:
 
     
  • The operator pod does not have network connectivity to the mon pod(s). The network may be configured incorrectly.
    •  
  • One or more mon pods are in running state, but the operator log shows they are not able to form quorum
    •  
  • A mon is using configuration from a previous installation. See the cleanup guide     for cleaning the previous cluster.
    •  
  • A firewall may be blocking the ports required for the Ceph mons to form quorum. Ensure ports 6789 and 3300 are enabled.     See the Ceph networking guide for more details.
    •  
  • There may be MTU mismatch between different networking components. Some networks may be more     susceptible to mismatch than others. If Kubernetes CNI or hosts enable jumbo frames (MTU 9000),     Ceph will use large packets to maximize network bandwidth. If other parts of the networking chain     don't support jumbo frames, this could result in lost or rejected packets unexpectedly.
    •  
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-common-issues/#operator-fails-to-connect-to-the-mon","title":"Operator fails to connect to the mon","text":"
First look at the logs of the operator to confirm if it is able to connect to the mons.
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph logs -l app=rook-ceph-operator\n
 
Likely you will see an error similar to the following that the operator is timing out when connecting to the mon. The last command is ceph mon_status, followed by a timeout message five minutes later.
 
2018-01-21 21:47:32.375833 I | exec: Running command: ceph mon_status --cluster=rook --conf=/var/lib/rook/rook-ceph/rook.config --keyring=/var/lib/rook/rook-ceph/client.admin.keyring --format json --out-file /tmp/442263890\n2018-01-21 21:52:35.370533 I | exec: 2018-01-21 21:52:35.071462 7f96a3b82700  0 monclient(hunting): authenticate timed out after 300\n2018-01-21 21:52:35.071462 7f96a3b82700  0 monclient(hunting): authenticate timed out after 300\n2018-01-21 21:52:35.071524 7f96a3b82700  0 librados: client.admin authentication error (110) Connection timed out\n2018-01-21 21:52:35.071524 7f96a3b82700  0 librados: client.admin authentication error (110) Connection timed out\n[errno 110] error connecting to the cluster\n
 
The error would appear to be an authentication error, but it is misleading. The real issue is a timeout.
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-common-issues/#solution_1","title":"Solution","text":"
If you see the timeout in the operator log, verify if the mon pod is running (see the next section). If the mon pod is running, check the network connectivity between the operator pod and the mon pod. A common issue is that the CNI is not configured correctly.
 
To verify the network connectivity:
 
     
  • Get the endpoint for a mon
    •  
  • Curl the mon from the operator pod
    •  
 
For example, this command will curl the first mon from the operator:
 
$ kubectl -n rook-ceph exec deploy/rook-ceph-operator -- curl $(kubectl -n rook-ceph get svc -l app=rook-ceph-mon -o jsonpath='{.items[0].spec.clusterIP}'):3300 2>/dev/null\nceph v2\n
 
If \"ceph v2\" is printed to the console, the connection was successful. If the command does not respond or otherwise fails, the network connection cannot be established.
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-common-issues/#failing-mon-pod","title":"Failing mon pod","text":"
Second we need to verify if the mon pod started successfully.

This is a common problem reinitializing the Rook cluster when the local directory used for persistence has not been purged. This directory is the dataDirHostPath setting in the cluster CRD and is typically set to /var/lib/rook. To fix the issue you will need to delete all components of Rook and then delete the contents of /var/lib/rook (or the directory specified by dataDirHostPath) on each of the hosts in the cluster. Then when the cluster CRD is applied to start a new cluster, the rook-operator should start all the pods as expected.
 
Caution
 
Deleting the dataDirHostPath folder is destructive to the storage. Only delete the folder if you are trying to permanently purge the Rook cluster.

  • Only local devices attached to the nodes will be configurable by Rook. In other words, the devices must show up under /dev.

First, ensure that you have specified the devices correctly in the CRD. The Cluster CRD has several ways to specify the devices that are to be consumed by the Rook storage:
 
     
  • useAllDevices: true: Rook will consume all devices it determines to be available
    •  
  • deviceFilter: Consume all devices that match this regular expression
    •  
  • devices: Explicit list of device names on each node to consume
    •  
 
Second, if Rook determines that a device is not available (has existing partitions or a formatted filesystem), Rook will skip consuming the devices. If Rook is not starting OSDs on the devices you expect, Rook may have skipped it for this reason. To see if a device was skipped, view the OSD preparation log on the node where the device was skipped. Note that it is completely normal and expected for OSD prepare pod to be in the completed state. After the job is complete, Rook leaves the pod around in case the logs need to be investigated.

They are cases where looking at Kubernetes logs is not enough for diverse reasons, but just to name a few:
 
     
  • not everyone is familiar for Kubernetes logging and expects to find logs in traditional directories
    •  
  • logs get eaten (buffer limit from the log engine) and thus not requestable from Kubernetes
    •  
 
So for each daemon, dataDirHostPath is used to store logs, if logging is activated. Rook will bindmount dataDirHostPath for every pod. Let's say you want to enable logging for mon.a, but only for this daemon. Using the toolbox or from inside the operator run:
 
ceph config set mon.a log_to_file true\n
 
This will activate logging on the filesystem, you will be able to find logs in dataDirHostPath/$NAMESPACE/log, so typically this would mean /var/lib/rook/rook-ceph/log. You don't need to restart the pod, the effect will be immediate.

There is a critical flaw in OSD on LV-backed PVC. LVM metadata can be corrupted if both the host and OSD container modify it simultaneously. For example, the administrator might modify it on the host, while the OSD initialization process in a container could modify it too. In addition, if lvmetad is running, the possibility of occurrence gets higher. In this case, the change of LVM metadata in OSD container is not reflected to LVM metadata cache in host for a while.
 
If you still decide to configure an OSD on LVM, please keep the following in mind to reduce the probability of this issue.

  • Avoid incrementing the count field of storageClassDeviceSets and create a new LV that backs an OSD simultaneously.

You can know whether the above-mentioned tag exists with the command: sudo lvs -o lv_name,lv_tags. If the lv_tag field is empty in an LV corresponding to the OSD lv_tags, this OSD encountered the problem. In this case, please retire this OSD or replace with other new OSD before restarting.
 
This problem doesn't happen in newly created LV-backed PVCs because OSD container doesn't modify LVM metadata anymore. The existing lvm mode OSDs work continuously even thought upgrade your Rook. However, using the raw mode OSDs is recommended because of the above-mentioned problem. You can replace the existing OSDs with raw mode OSDs by retiring them and adding new OSDs one by one.

Users running Rook versions v1.6.0-v1.6.7 may observe unwanted OSDs on partitions that appear unexpectedly and seemingly randomly, which can corrupt existing OSDs.
 
Unexpected partitions are created on host disks that are used by Ceph OSDs. This happens more often on SSDs than HDDs and usually only on disks that are 875GB or larger. Many tools like lsblk, blkid, udevadm, and parted will not show a partition table type for the partition. Newer versions of blkid are generally able to recognize the type as \"atari\".
 
The underlying issue causing this is Atari partition (sometimes identified as AHDI) support in the Linux kernel. Atari partitions have very relaxed specifications compared to other partition types, and it is relatively easy for random data written to a disk to appear as an Atari partition to the Linux kernel. Ceph's Bluestore OSDs have an anecdotally high probability of writing data on to disks that can appear to the kernel as an Atari partition.
 
Below is an example of lsblk output from a node where phantom Atari partitions are present. Note that sdX1 is never present for the phantom partitions, and sdX2 is 48G on all disks. sdX3 is a variable size and may not always be present. It is possible for sdX4 to appear, though it is an anecdotally rare event.

If you are using Rook v1.6, you must first update to v1.6.8 or higher to avoid further incidents of OSD corruption caused by these Atari partitions.
 
An old workaround suggested using deviceFilter: ^sd[a-z]+$, but this still results in unexpected partitions. Rook will merely stop creating new OSDs on the partitions. It does not fix a related issue that ceph-volume that is unaware of the Atari partition problem. Users who used this workaround are still at risk for OSD failures in the future.
 
To resolve the issue, immediately update to v1.6.8 or higher. After the update, no corruption should occur on OSDs created in the future. Next, to get back to a healthy Ceph cluster state, focus on one corrupted disk at a time and remove all OSDs on each corrupted disk one disk at a time.
 
As an example, you may have /dev/sdb with two unexpected partitions (/dev/sdb2 and /dev/sdb3) as well as a second corrupted disk /dev/sde with one unexpected partition (/dev/sde2).
 
     
  1. First, remove the OSDs associated with /dev/sdb, /dev/sdb2, and /dev/sdb3. There might be     only one, or up to 3 OSDs depending on how your system was affected. Again see the     OSD management doc.
    2.  
  2. Use dd to wipe the first sectors of the partitions followed by the disk itself. E.g.,
       
    • dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb2 bs=1M
      •  
    • dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb3 bs=1M
      •  
    • dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
      •  
     
    3.  
  3. Then wipe clean /dev/sdb to prepare it for a new OSD.     See the teardown document for details.
    4.  
  4. After this, scale up the Rook operator to deploy a new OSD to /dev/sdb. This will allow Ceph to     use /dev/sdb for data recovery and replication while the next OSDs are removed.
    5.  
  5. Now Repeat steps 1-4 for /dev/sde and /dev/sde2, and continue for any other corrupted disks.
    6.  
 
If your Rook cluster does not have any critical data stored in it, it may be simpler to uninstall Rook completely and redeploy with v1.6.8 or higher.

  • Slow operations
    •  
  • Kubernetes issues

The Ceph monitors are the most critical component of the cluster to check first. Retrieve the mon endpoints from the services:
 
$ kubectl -n rook-ceph get svc -l app=rook-ceph-mon\nNAME              TYPE        CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)             AGE\nrook-ceph-mon-a   ClusterIP   10.104.165.31   <none>        6789/TCP,3300/TCP   18h\nrook-ceph-mon-b   ClusterIP   10.97.244.93    <none>        6789/TCP,3300/TCP   21s\nrook-ceph-mon-c   ClusterIP   10.99.248.163   <none>        6789/TCP,3300/TCP   8s\n
 
If host networking is enabled in the CephCluster CR, you will instead need to find the node IPs for the hosts where the mons are running.
 
The clusterIP is the mon IP and 3300 is the port that will be used by Ceph-CSI to connect to the ceph cluster. These endpoints must be accessible by all clients in the cluster, including the CSI driver.
 
If you are seeing issues provisioning the PVC then you need to check the network connectivity from the provisioner pods.
 
     
  • For CephFS PVCs, check network connectivity from the csi-cephfsplugin container of the csi-cephfsplugin-provisioner pods
    •  
  • For Block PVCs, check network connectivity from the csi-rbdplugin container of the csi-rbdplugin-provisioner pods
    •  
 
For redundancy, there are two provisioner pods for each type. Make sure to test connectivity from all provisioner pods.
 
Connect to the provisioner pods and verify the connection to the mon endpoints such as the following:
 
# Connect to the csi-cephfsplugin container in the provisioner pod\nkubectl -n rook-ceph exec -ti deploy/csi-cephfsplugin-provisioner -c csi-cephfsplugin -- bash\n\n# Test the network connection to the mon endpoint\ncurl 10.104.165.31:3300 2>/dev/null\nceph v2\n
 
If you see the response \"ceph v2\", the connection succeeded. If there is no response then there is a network issue connecting to the ceph cluster.
 
Check network connectivity for all monitor IP\u2019s and ports which are passed to ceph-csi.
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-csi-common-issues/#ceph-health","title":"Ceph Health","text":"

The CephFS provisioner core CSI driver container name is csi-cephfsplugin as one of the container names. For the RBD (Block) provisioner you will see csi-rbdplugin as the container name.

The CSI external-snapshotter sidecar only watches for VolumeSnapshotContent create/update/delete events. It will talk to ceph-csi containers to create or delete snapshots. More details about external-snapshotter can be found here.
 
In Kubernetes 1.17 the volume snapshot feature was promoted to beta. In Kubernetes 1.20, the feature gate is enabled by default on standard Kubernetes deployments and cannot be turned off.
 
Make sure you have installed the correct snapshotter CRD version. If you have not installed the snapshotter controller, see the Snapshots guide.
 
$ kubectl get crd | grep snapshot\nvolumesnapshotclasses.snapshot.storage.k8s.io    2021-01-25T11:19:38Z\nvolumesnapshotcontents.snapshot.storage.k8s.io   2021-01-25T11:19:39Z\nvolumesnapshots.snapshot.storage.k8s.io          2021-01-25T11:19:40Z\n
 
The above CRDs must have the matching version in your snapshotclass.yaml or snapshot.yaml. Otherwise, the VolumeSnapshot and VolumesnapshotContent will not be created.
 
The snapshot controller is responsible for creating both VolumeSnapshot and VolumesnapshotContent object. If the objects are not getting created, you may need to check the logs of the snapshot-controller container.
 
Rook only installs the snapshotter sidecar container, not the controller. It is recommended that Kubernetes distributors bundle and deploy the controller and CRDs as part of their Kubernetes cluster management process (independent of any CSI Driver).
 
If your Kubernetes distribution does not bundle the snapshot controller, you may manually install these components.
 
If any issue exists in the snapshot Create/Delete operation you can check the logs of the csi-snapshotter sidecar container.
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph logs deploy/csi-rbdplugin-provisioner -c csi-snapshotter\n

The Rook toolbox is a container with common tools used for rook debugging and testing. The toolbox is based on CentOS, so more tools of your choosing can be easily installed with yum.
 
The toolbox can be run in two modes:
 
     
  1. Interactive: Start a toolbox pod where you can connect and execute Ceph commands from a shell
    2.  
  2. One-time job: Run a script with Ceph commands and collect the results from the job log
    3.  
 
Hint
 
Before running the toolbox you should have a running Rook cluster deployed (see the Quickstart Guide).
 
Note
 
The toolbox is not necessary if you are using kubectl plugin to execute Ceph commands.
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-toolbox/#interactive-toolbox","title":"Interactive Toolbox","text":"
The rook toolbox can run as a deployment in a Kubernetes cluster where you can connect and run arbitrary Ceph commands.
 
Launch the rook-ceph-tools pod:
 
kubectl create -f deploy/examples/toolbox.yaml\n
 
Wait for the toolbox pod to download its container and get to the running state:
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph rollout status deploy/rook-ceph-tools\n
 
Once the rook-ceph-tools pod is running, you can connect to it with:
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph exec -it deploy/rook-ceph-tools -- bash\n
 
All available tools in the toolbox are ready for your troubleshooting needs.
 
Example:
 
     
  • ceph status

  • ceph osd status
    •  
  • ceph df

If you want to run Ceph commands as a one-time operation and collect the results later from the logs, you can run a script as a Kubernetes Job. The toolbox job will run a script that is embedded in the job spec. The script has the full flexibility of a bash script.
 
In this example, the ceph status command is executed when the job is created. Create the toolbox job:

      • e.g., kubectl logs -n rook-ceph -l app=rook-ceph-operator
        •  
       
      •  
    • Logs for a specific pod: kubectl logs -n <cluster-namespace> <pod-name>, or a pod using a label such as mon1: kubectl logs -n <cluster-namespace> -l <label-matcher>
         
      • e.g., kubectl logs -n rook-ceph -l mon=a

      •  
    • Logs on a specific node to find why a PVC is failing to mount:
         
      • Connect to the node, then get kubelet logs (if your distro is using systemd): journalctl -u kubelet
        •  
       
      •  
    • Pods with multiple containers

The purpose of this topic is to help you quickly test a new configuration, although it is not meant to be used in production.

Create the Direct Mount Pod.
 
Create a volume image (10MB):
 
rbd create replicapool/test --size 10\nrbd info replicapool/test\n\n# Disable the rbd features that are not in the kernel module\nrbd feature disable replicapool/test fast-diff deep-flatten object-map\n

After you have created a filesystem as described in the Shared Filesystem topic, you can mount the filesystem from multiple pods. The the other topic you may have mounted the filesystem already in the registry pod. Now we will mount the same filesystem in the Direct Mount pod. This is just a simple way to validate the Ceph filesystem and is not recommended for production Kubernetes pods.
 
Follow Direct Mount Pod to start a pod with the necessary mounts and then proceed with the following commands after connecting to the pod.
 
# Create the directory\nmkdir /tmp/registry\n\n# Detect the mon endpoints and the user secret for the connection\nmon_endpoints=$(grep mon_host /etc/ceph/ceph.conf | awk '{print $3}')\nmy_secret=$(grep key /etc/ceph/keyring | awk '{print $3}')\n\n# Mount the filesystem\nmount -t ceph -o mds_namespace=myfs,name=admin,secret=$my_secret $mon_endpoints:/ /tmp/registry\n\n# See your mounted filesystem\ndf -h\n
 
Now you should have a mounted filesystem. If you have pushed images to the registry you will see a directory called docker.
 
ls /tmp/registry\n

The following steps will remove the unhealthy mons from quorum and allow you to form a quorum again with a single mon, then grow the quorum back to the original size.
 
The Rook kubectl Plugin has a command restore-quorum that will walk you through the mon quorum automated restoration process.
 
If the name of the healthy mon is c, you would run the command:
 
kubectl rook-ceph mons restore-quorum c\n
 
See the restore-quorum documentation for more details.
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/disaster-recovery/#restoring-crds-after-deletion","title":"Restoring CRDs After Deletion","text":"
When the Rook CRDs are deleted, the Rook operator will respond to the deletion event to attempt to clean up the cluster resources. If any data appears present in the cluster, Rook will refuse to allow the resources to be deleted since the operator will refuse to remove the finalizer on the CRs until the underlying data is deleted. For more details, see the dependency design doc.
 
While it is good that the CRs will not be deleted and the underlying Ceph data and daemons continue to be available, the CRs will be stuck indefinitely in a Deleting state in which the operator will not continue to ensure cluster health. Upgrades will be blocked, further updates to the CRs are prevented, and so on. Since Kubernetes does not allow undeleting resources, the following procedure will allow you to restore the CRs to their prior state without even necessarily suffering cluster downtime.
 
Note
 
In the following commands, the affected CephCluster resource is called rook-ceph. If yours is named differently, the commands will need to be adjusted.
 
     
  1.  
    Scale down the operator.
     
    kubectl -n rook-ceph scale --replicas=0 deploy/rook-ceph-operator\n
     
    2.  
  2.  
    Backup all Rook CRs and critical metadata
     
    # Store the `CephCluster` CR settings. Also, save other Rook CRs that are in terminating state.\nkubectl -n rook-ceph get cephcluster rook-ceph -o yaml > cluster.yaml\n\n# Backup critical secrets and configmaps in case something goes wrong later in the procedure\nkubectl -n rook-ceph get secret -o yaml > secrets.yaml\nkubectl -n rook-ceph get configmap -o yaml > configmaps.yaml\n
     
    3.  
  3.  
    Remove the owner references from all critical Rook resources that were referencing the CephCluster CR.
     
       
    1.  
      Programmatically determine all such resources, using this command:
       
      # Determine the `CephCluster` UID\nROOK_UID=$(kubectl -n rook-ceph get cephcluster rook-ceph -o 'jsonpath={.metadata.uid}')\n# List all secrets, configmaps, services, deployments, and PVCs with that ownership UID.\nRESOURCES=$(kubectl -n rook-ceph get secret,configmap,service,deployment,pvc -o jsonpath='{range .items[?(@.metadata.ownerReferences[*].uid==\"'\"$ROOK_UID\"'\")]}{.kind}{\"/\"}{.metadata.name}{\"\\n\"}{end}')\n# Show the collected resources.\nkubectl -n rook-ceph get $RESOURCES\n
       
      2.  
    2.  
      Verify that all critical resources are shown in the output. The critical resources are these:
       
         
      • Secrets: rook-ceph-admin-keyring, rook-ceph-config, rook-ceph-mon, rook-ceph-mons-keyring
        •  
      • ConfigMap: rook-ceph-mon-endpoints
        •  
      • Services: rook-ceph-mon-*, rook-ceph-mgr-*
        •  
      • Deployments: rook-ceph-mon-*, rook-ceph-osd-*, rook-ceph-mgr-*
        •  
      • PVCs (if applicable): rook-ceph-mon-* and the OSD PVCs (named <deviceset>-*, for example set1-data-*)
        •  
       
      3.  
    3.  
      For each listed resource, remove the ownerReferences metadata field, in order to unlink it from the deleting CephCluster     CR.
       
      To do so programmatically, use the command:
       
      for resource in $(kubectl -n rook-ceph get $RESOURCES -o name); do\n  kubectl -n rook-ceph patch $resource -p '{\"metadata\": {\"ownerReferences\":null}}'\ndone\n
       
      For a manual alternative, issue kubectl edit on each resource, and remove the block matching:
       
      ownerReferences:\n- apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1\n   blockOwnerDeletion: true\n   controller: true\n   kind: `CephCluster`\n   name: rook-ceph\n   uid: <uid>\n
       
      4.  
     
    4.  
  4.  
    Before completing this step, validate these things. Failing to do so could result in data loss.
     
       
    1. Confirm that cluster.yaml contains the CephCluster CR.
      2.  
    2. Confirm all critical resources listed above have had the ownerReference to the CephCluster CR removed.
      3.  
     
    Remove the finalizer from the CephCluster resource. This will cause the resource to be immediately deleted by Kubernetes.
     
    kubectl -n rook-ceph patch cephcluster/rook-ceph --type json --patch='[ { \"op\": \"remove\", \"path\": \"/metadata/finalizers\" } ]'\n
     
    After the finalizer is removed, the CephCluster will be immediately deleted. If all owner references were properly removed, all ceph daemons will continue running and there will be no downtime.
     
    5.  
  5.  
    Create the CephCluster CR with the same settings as previously
     
    # Use the same cluster settings as exported in step 2.\nkubectl create -f cluster.yaml\n
     
    6.  
  6.  
    If there are other CRs in terminating state such as CephBlockPools, CephObjectStores, or CephFilesystems,     follow the above steps as well for those CRs:
     
       
    1. Backup the CR
      2.  
    2. Remove the finalizer and confirm the CR is deleted (the underlying Ceph resources will be preserved)
      3.  
    3. Create the CR again
      4.  
     
    7.  
  7.  
    Scale up the operator
     
    kubectl -n rook-ceph scale --replicas=1 deploy/rook-ceph-operator\n
     
    8.  
  8.  
    Watch the operator log to confirm that the reconcile completes successfully.
     
    kubectl -n rook-ceph logs -f deployment/rook-ceph-operator\n

It is possible to migrate/restore an rook/ceph cluster from an existing Kubernetes cluster to a new one without resorting to SSH access or ceph tooling. This allows doing the migration using standard kubernetes resources only. This guide assumes the following:
 
     
  1. You have a CephCluster that uses PVCs to persist mon and osd data. Let's call it the \"old cluster\"
    2.  
  2. You can restore the PVCs as-is in the new cluster. Usually this is done by taking regular snapshots of the PVC volumes and using a tool that can re-create PVCs from these snapshots in the underlying cloud provider. Velero is one such tool.
    3.  
  3. You have regular backups of the secrets and configmaps in the rook-ceph namespace. Velero provides this functionality too.
    4.  
 
Do the following in the new cluster:
 
     
  1. Stop the rook operator by scaling the deployment rook-ceph-operator down to zero: kubectl -n rook-ceph scale deployment rook-ceph-operator --replicas 0 and deleting the other deployments. An example command to do this is k -n rook-ceph delete deployment -l operator!=rook
    2.  
  2. Restore the rook PVCs to the new cluster.
    3.  
  3. Copy the keyring and fsid secrets from the old cluster: rook-ceph-mgr-a-keyring, rook-ceph-mon, rook-ceph-mons-keyring, rook-ceph-osd-0-keyring, ...
    4.  
  4. Delete mon services and copy them from the old cluster: rook-ceph-mon-a, rook-ceph-mon-b, ... Note that simply re-applying won't work because the goal here is to restore the clusterIP in each service and this field is immutable in Service resources.
    5.  
  5. Copy the endpoints configmap from the old cluster: rook-ceph-mon-endpoints
    6.  
  6. Scale the rook operator up again : kubectl -n rook-ceph scale deployment rook-ceph-operator --replicas 1
    7.  
  7. Wait until the reconciliation is over.

When the rook-ceph namespace is accidentally deleted, the good news is that the cluster can be restored. With the content in the directory dataDirHostPath and the original OSD disks, the ceph cluster could be restored with this guide.
 
You need to manually create a ConfigMap and a Secret to make it work. The information required for the ConfigMap and Secret can be found in the dataDirHostPath directory.
 
The first resource is the secret named rook-ceph-mon as seen in this example below:
 
apiVersion: v1\ndata:\n\u00a0 ceph-secret: QVFCZ0h6VmorcVNhSGhBQXVtVktNcjcrczNOWW9Oa2psYkErS0E9PQ==\n\u00a0 ceph-username: Y2xpZW50LmFkbWlu\n\u00a0 fsid: M2YyNzE4NDEtNjE4OC00N2MxLWIzZmQtOTBmZDRmOTc4Yzc2\n\u00a0 mon-secret: QVFCZ0h6VmorcVNhSGhBQXVtVktNcjcrczNOWW9Oa2psYkErS0E9PQ==\nkind: Secret\nmetadata:\n\u00a0 finalizers:\n\u00a0 - ceph.rook.io/disaster-protection\n\u00a0 name: rook-ceph-mon\n\u00a0 namespace: rook-ceph\n\u00a0 ownerReferences: null\ntype: kubernetes.io/rook\n
 
The values for the secret can be found in $dataDirHostPath/rook-ceph/client.admin.keyring and $dataDirHostPath/rook-ceph/rook-ceph.config.
 
     
  • ceph-secret and mon-secret are to be filled with the client.admin's keyring contents.
    •  
  • ceph-username: set to the string client.admin
    •  
  • fsid: set to the original ceph cluster id.
    •  
 
All the fields in data section need to be encoded in base64. Coding could be done like this:
 
echo -n \"string to code\" | base64 -i -\n
 
Now save the secret as rook-ceph-mon.yaml, to be created later in the restore.
 
The second resource is the configmap named rook-ceph-mon-endpoints as seen in this example below:
 
apiVersion: v1\ndata:\n\u00a0 csi-cluster-config-json: '[{\"clusterID\":\"rook-ceph\",\"monitors\":[\"169.169.241.153:6789\",\"169.169.82.57:6789\",\"169.169.7.81:6789\"],\"namespace\":\"\"}]'\n\u00a0 data: k=169.169.241.153:6789,m=169.169.82.57:6789,o=169.169.7.81:6789\n\u00a0 mapping: '{\"node\":{\"k\":{\"Name\":\"10.138.55.111\",\"Hostname\":\"10.138.55.111\",\"Address\":\"10.138.55.111\"},\"m\":{\"Name\":\"10.138.55.120\",\"Hostname\":\"10.138.55.120\",\"Address\":\"10.138.55.120\"},\"o\":{\"Name\":\"10.138.55.112\",\"Hostname\":\"10.138.55.112\",\"Address\":\"10.138.55.112\"}}}'\n\u00a0 maxMonId: \"15\"\nkind: ConfigMap\nmetadata:\n\u00a0 finalizers:\n\u00a0 - ceph.rook.io/disaster-protection\n\u00a0 name: rook-ceph-mon-endpoints\n\u00a0 namespace: rook-ceph\n\u00a0 ownerReferences: null\n
 
The Monitor's service IPs are kept in the monitor data store and you need to create them by original ones. After you create this configmap with the original service IPs, the rook operator will create the correct services for you with IPs matching in the monitor data store. Along with monitor ids, their service IPs and mapping relationship of them can be found in dataDirHostPath/rook-ceph/rook-ceph.config, for example:
 
[global]\nfsid\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 = 3f271841-6188-47c1-b3fd-90fd4f978c76\nmon initial members = m o k\nmon host\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 = [v2:169.169.82.57:3300,v1:169.169.82.57:6789],[v2:169.169.7.81:3300,v1:169.169.7.81:6789],[v2:169.169.241.153:3300,v1:169.169.241.153:6789]\n
 
mon initial members and mon host are holding sequences of monitors' id and IP respectively; the sequence are going in the same order among monitors as a result you can tell which monitors have which service IP addresses. Modify your rook-ceph-mon-endpoints.yaml on fields csi-cluster-config-json and data based on the understanding of rook-ceph.config above. The field mapping tells rook where to schedule monitor's pods. you could search in dataDirHostPath in all Ceph cluster hosts for mon-m,mon-o,mon-k. If you find mon-m in host 10.138.55.120, you should fill 10.138.55.120 in field mapping for m. Others are the same. Update the maxMonId to be the max numeric ID of the highest monitor ID. For example, 15 is the 0-based ID for mon o. Now save this configmap in the file rook-ceph-mon-endpoints.yaml, to be created later in the restore.
 
Now that you have the info for the secret and the configmap, you are ready to restore the running cluster.
 
Deploy Rook Ceph using the YAML files or Helm, with the same settings you had previously.
 
kubectl create -f crds.yaml -f common.yaml -f operator.yaml\n
 
After the operator is running, create the configmap and secret you have just crafted:
 
kubectl create -f rook-ceph-mon.yaml -f rook-ceph-mon-endpoints.yaml\n
 
Create your Ceph cluster CR (if possible, with the same settings as existed previously):
 
kubectl create -f cluster.yaml\n
 
Now your Rook Ceph cluster should be running again.

Warn
 
This is an advanced topic please be aware of the steps you're performing or reach out to the experts for further guidance.
 
There are some cases where the debug logs are not sufficient to investigate issues like high CPU utilization of a Ceph process. In that situation, coredump and perf information of a Ceph process is useful to be collected which can be shared with the Ceph team in an issue.
 
To collect this information, please follow these steps:
 
     
  • Edit the rook-ceph-operator deployment and set ROOK_HOSTPATH_REQUIRES_PRIVILEGED to true.
    •  
  • Wait for the pods to get reinitialized:
    •  
 
# watch kubectl -n rook-ceph get pods\n
 
     
  • Enter the respective pod of the Ceph process which needs to be investigated. For example:
    •  
 
# kubectl -n rook-ceph exec -it deploy/rook-ceph-mon-a -- bash\n
 
     
  • Install gdb , perf and git inside the pod. For example:
    •  
 
# dnf install gdb git perf -y\n
 
     
  • Capture perf data of the respective Ceph process:
    •  
 
# perf record -e cycles --call-graph dwarf -p <pid of the process>\n# perf report > perf_report_<process/thread>\n
 
     
  • Grab the pid of the respective Ceph process to collect its backtrace at multiple time instances, attach gdb to it and share the output gdb.txt:
    •  
 
# gdb -p <pid_of_the_process>\n\n- set pag off\n- set log on\n- thr a a bt full # This captures the complete backtrace of the process\n- backtrace\n- Ctrl+C\n- backtrace\n- Ctrl+C\n- backtrace\n- Ctrl+C\n- backtrace\n- set log off\n- q (to exit out of gdb)\n
 
     
  • Grab the live coredump of the respective process using gcore:
    •  
 
# gcore <pid_of_the_process>\n
 
     
  • Capture the Wallclock Profiler data for the respective Ceph process and share the output gdbpmp.data generated:
    •  
 
# git clone https://github.com/markhpc/gdbpmp\n# cd gdbpmp\n# ./gdbpmp.py -p <pid_of_the_process> -n 100 -o gdbpmp.data\n
 
     
  • Collect the perf.data, perf_report, backtrace of the process gdb.txt , core file and profiler data gdbpmp.data and upload it to the tracker issue for troubleshooting purposes.

This guide will walk through the steps to upgrade the version of Ceph in a Rook cluster. Rook and Ceph upgrades are designed to ensure data remains available even while the upgrade is proceeding. Rook will perform the upgrades in a rolling fashion such that application pods are not disrupted.
 
Rook is cautious when performing upgrades. When an upgrade is requested (the Ceph image has been updated in the CR), Rook will go through all the daemons one by one and will individually perform checks on them. It will make sure a particular daemon can be stopped before performing the upgrade. Once the deployment has been updated, it checks if this is ok to continue. After each daemon is updated we wait for things to settle (monitors to be in a quorum, PGs to be clean for OSDs, up for MDSes, etc.), then only when the condition is met we move to the next daemon. We repeat this process until all the daemons have been updated.

"},{"location":"Upgrade/rook-upgrade/#patch-release-upgrades","title":"Patch Release Upgrades","text":"
Unless otherwise noted due to extenuating requirements, upgrades from one patch release of Rook to another are as simple as updating the common resources and the image of the Rook operator. For example, when Rook v1.15.5 is released, the process of updating from v1.15.0 is as simple as running the following:
 
git clone --single-branch --depth=1 --branch v1.15.5 https://github.com/rook/rook.git\ncd rook/deploy/examples\n
 
If the Rook Operator or CephCluster are deployed into a different namespace than rook-ceph, see the Update common resources and CRDs section for instructions on how to change the default namespaces in common.yaml.
 
Then, apply the latest changes from v1.15, and update the Rook Operator image.
 
kubectl apply -f common.yaml -f crds.yaml\nkubectl -n rook-ceph set image deploy/rook-ceph-operator rook-ceph-operator=rook/ceph:v1.15.5\n
 
As exemplified above, it is a good practice to update Rook common resources from the example manifests before any update. The common resources and CRDs might not be updated with every release, but Kubernetes will only apply updates to the ones that changed.
 
Also update optional resources like Prometheus monitoring noted more fully in the upgrade section below.
"},{"location":"Upgrade/rook-upgrade/#helm","title":"Helm","text":"
If Rook is installed via the Helm chart, Helm will handle some details of the upgrade itself. The upgrade steps in this guide will clarify what Helm handles automatically.
 
Important
 
If there are pods named csi-*plugin-holder-* in the Rook operator namespace, set the new config csi.disableHolderPods: false in the values.yaml before upgrading to v1.15.
 
The rook-ceph helm chart upgrade performs the Rook upgrade. The rook-ceph-cluster helm chart upgrade performs a Ceph upgrade if the Ceph image is updated. The rook-ceph chart should be upgraded before rook-ceph-cluster, so the latest operator has the opportunity to update custom resources as necessary.

Be sure to update to a supported Helm version

Watch now in amazement as the Ceph mons, mgrs, OSDs, rbd-mirrors, MDSes and RGWs are terminated and replaced with updated versions in sequence. The cluster may be unresponsive very briefly as mons update, and the Ceph Filesystem may fall offline a few times while the MDSes are upgrading. This is normal.
 
The versions of the components can be viewed as they are updated:
 
watch --exec kubectl -n $ROOK_CLUSTER_NAMESPACE get deployments -l rook_cluster=$ROOK_CLUSTER_NAMESPACE -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{.metadata.name}{\"  \\treq/upd/avl: \"}{.spec.replicas}{\"/\"}{.status.updatedReplicas}{\"/\"}{.status.readyReplicas}{\"  \\trook-version=\"}{.metadata.labels.rook-version}{\"\\n\"}{end}'\n
 
As an example, this cluster is midway through updating the OSDs. When all deployments report 1/1/1 availability and rook-version=v1.15.5, the Ceph cluster's core components are fully updated.
 
Every 2.0s: kubectl -n rook-ceph get deployment -o j...\n\nrook-ceph-mgr-a         req/upd/avl: 1/1/1      rook-version=v1.15.5\nrook-ceph-mon-a         req/upd/avl: 1/1/1      rook-version=v1.15.5\nrook-ceph-mon-b         req/upd/avl: 1/1/1      rook-version=v1.15.5\nrook-ceph-mon-c         req/upd/avl: 1/1/1      rook-version=v1.15.5\nrook-ceph-osd-0         req/upd/avl: 1//        rook-version=v1.15.5\nrook-ceph-osd-1         req/upd/avl: 1/1/1      rook-version=v1.14.12\nrook-ceph-osd-2         req/upd/avl: 1/1/1      rook-version=v1.14.12\n
 
An easy check to see if the upgrade is totally finished is to check that there is only one rook-version reported across the cluster.

"},{"location":"CRDs/ceph-nfs-crd/#scaling-the-active-server-count","title":"Scaling the active server count","text":"
It is possible to scale the size of the cluster up or down by modifying the spec.server.active field. Scaling the cluster size up can be done at will. Once the new server comes up, clients can be assigned to it immediately.
 
The CRD always eliminates the highest index servers first, in reverse order from how they were started. Scaling down the cluster requires that clients be migrated from servers that will be eliminated to others. That process is currently a manual one and should be performed before reducing the size of the cluster.
 
Warning
 
See the known issue below about setting this value greater than one.

  • Active-active scale out does not work well with the NFS protocol. If one NFS server in a cluster     is offline, other servers may block client requests until the offline server returns, which may     not always happen due to the Kubernetes scheduler.

NetworkSpec for Ceph includes backward compatibility code
 Field Description provider  NetworkProviderType  (Optional) 
Provider is what provides network connectivity to the cluster e.g. \u201chost\u201d or \u201cmultus\u201d. If the Provider is updated from being empty to \u201chost\u201d on a running cluster, then the operator will automatically fail over all the mons to apply the \u201chost\u201d network settings.
 selectors  map[github.com/rook/rook/pkg/apis/ceph.rook.io/v1.CephNetworkType]string  (Optional) 
Selectors define NetworkAttachmentDefinitions to be used for Ceph public and/or cluster networks when the \u201cmultus\u201d network provider is used. This config section is not used for other network providers.
 
Valid keys are \u201cpublic\u201d and \u201ccluster\u201d. Refer to Ceph networking documentation for more: https://docs.ceph.com/en/reef/rados/configuration/network-config-ref/
 
Refer to Multus network annotation documentation for help selecting values: https://github.com/k8snetworkplumbingwg/multus-cni/blob/master/docs/how-to-use.md#run-pod-with-network-annotation
 
Rook will make a best-effort attempt to automatically detect CIDR address ranges for given network attachment definitions. Rook\u2019s methods are robust but may be imprecise for sufficiently complicated networks. Rook\u2019s auto-detection process obtains a new IP address lease for each CephCluster reconcile. If Rook fails to detect, incorrectly detects, only partially detects, or if underlying networks do not support reusing old IP addresses, it is best to use the \u2018addressRanges\u2019 config section to specify CIDR ranges for the Ceph cluster.
 
As a contrived example, one can use a theoretical Kubernetes-wide network for Ceph client traffic and a theoretical Rook-only network for Ceph replication traffic as shown: selectors: public: \u201cdefault/cluster-fast-net\u201d cluster: \u201crook-ceph/ceph-backend-net\u201d
 addressRanges  AddressRangesSpec  (Optional) 
AddressRanges specify a list of CIDRs that Rook will apply to Ceph\u2019s \u2018public_network\u2019 and/or \u2018cluster_network\u2019 configurations. This config section may be used for the \u201chost\u201d or \u201cmultus\u201d network providers.
 connections  ConnectionsSpec  (Optional) 
Settings for network connections such as compression and encryption across the wire.
 hostNetwork  bool  (Optional) 
HostNetwork to enable host network. If host networking is enabled or disabled on a running cluster, then the operator will automatically fail over all the mons to apply the new network settings.

volumeName is the binding reference to the PersistentVolume backing this claim.
 storageClassName  string  (Optional) 
storageClassName is the name of the StorageClass required by the claim. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes#class-1
 volumeMode  Kubernetes core/v1.PersistentVolumeMode  (Optional) 
volumeMode defines what type of volume is required by the claim. Value of Filesystem is implied when not included in claim spec.
 dataSource  Kubernetes core/v1.TypedLocalObjectReference  (Optional) 
dataSource field can be used to specify either: * An existing VolumeSnapshot object (snapshot.storage.k8s.io/VolumeSnapshot) * An existing PVC (PersistentVolumeClaim) If the provisioner or an external controller can support the specified data source, it will create a new volume based on the contents of the specified data source. When the AnyVolumeDataSource feature gate is enabled, dataSource contents will be copied to dataSourceRef, and dataSourceRef contents will be copied to dataSource when dataSourceRef.namespace is not specified. If the namespace is specified, then dataSourceRef will not be copied to dataSource.
 dataSourceRef  Kubernetes core/v1.TypedObjectReference  (Optional) 
dataSourceRef specifies the object from which to populate the volume with data, if a non-empty volume is desired. This may be any object from a non-empty API group (non core object) or a PersistentVolumeClaim object. When this field is specified, volume binding will only succeed if the type of the specified object matches some installed volume populator or dynamic provisioner. This field will replace the functionality of the dataSource field and as such if both fields are non-empty, they must have the same value. For backwards compatibility, when namespace isn\u2019t specified in dataSourceRef, both fields (dataSource and dataSourceRef) will be set to the same value automatically if one of them is empty and the other is non-empty. When namespace is specified in dataSourceRef, dataSource isn\u2019t set to the same value and must be empty. There are three important differences between dataSource and dataSourceRef: * While dataSource only allows two specific types of objects, dataSourceRef allows any non-core object, as well as PersistentVolumeClaim objects. * While dataSource ignores disallowed values (dropping them), dataSourceRef preserves all values, and generates an error if a disallowed value is specified. * While dataSource only allows local objects, dataSourceRef allows objects in any namespaces. (Beta) Using this field requires the AnyVolumeDataSource feature gate to be enabled. (Alpha) Using the namespace field of dataSourceRef requires the CrossNamespaceVolumeDataSource feature gate to be enabled.
 volumeAttributesClassName  string  (Optional) 
volumeAttributesClassName may be used to set the VolumeAttributesClass used by this claim. If specified, the CSI driver will create or update the volume with the attributes defined in the corresponding VolumeAttributesClass. This has a different purpose than storageClassName, it can be changed after the claim is created. An empty string value means that no VolumeAttributesClass will be applied to the claim but it\u2019s not allowed to reset this field to empty string once it is set. If unspecified and the PersistentVolumeClaim is unbound, the default VolumeAttributesClass will be set by the persistentvolume controller if it exists. If the resource referred to by volumeAttributesClass does not exist, this PersistentVolumeClaim will be set to a Pending state, as reflected by the modifyVolumeStatus field, until such as a resource exists. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volume-attributes-classes/ (Beta) Using this field requires the VolumeAttributesClass feature gate to be enabled (off by default).

Hybrid storage is a combination of two different storage tiers. For example, SSD and HDD. This helps to improve the read performance of cluster by placing, say, 1st copy of data on the higher performance tier (SSD or NVME) and remaining replicated copies on lower cost tier (HDDs).
 
WARNING Hybrid storage pools are likely to suffer from lower availability if a node goes down. The data across the two tiers may actually end up on the same node, instead of being spread across unique nodes (or failure domains) as expected. Instead of using hybrid pools, consider configuring primary affinity from the toolbox.

This sample will lower the overall storage capacity requirement, while also adding redundancy by using erasure coding.
 
Note
 
This sample requires at least 3 bluestore OSDs.
 
The OSDs can be located on a single Ceph node or spread across multiple nodes, because the failureDomain is set to osd and the erasureCoded chunk settings require at least 3 different OSDs (2 dataChunks + 1 codingChunks).

High performance applications typically will not use erasure coding due to the performance overhead of creating and distributing the chunks in the cluster.
 
When creating an erasure-coded pool, it is highly recommended to create the pool when you have bluestore OSDs in your cluster (see the OSD configuration settings. Filestore OSDs have limitations that are unsafe and lower performance.
"},{"location":"CRDs/Block-Storage/ceph-block-pool-crd/#mirroring","title":"Mirroring","text":"
RADOS Block Device (RBD) mirroring is a process of asynchronous replication of Ceph block device images between two or more Ceph clusters. Mirroring ensures point-in-time consistent replicas of all changes to an image, including reads and writes, block device resizing, snapshots, clones and flattening. It is generally useful when planning for Disaster Recovery. Mirroring is for clusters that are geographically distributed and stretching a single cluster is not possible due to high latencies.
 
The following will enable mirroring of the pool at the image level:
 
apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1\nkind: CephBlockPool\nmetadata:\n  name: replicapool\n  namespace: rook-ceph\nspec:\n  replicated:\n    size: 3\n  mirroring:\n    enabled: true\n    mode: image\n    # schedule(s) of snapshot\n    snapshotSchedules:\n      - interval: 24h # daily snapshots\n        startTime: 14:00:00-05:00\n
 
Once mirroring is enabled, Rook will by default create its own bootstrap peer token so that it can be used by another cluster. The bootstrap peer token can be found in a Kubernetes Secret. The name of the Secret is present in the Status field of the CephBlockPool CR:
 
status:\n  info:\n    rbdMirrorBootstrapPeerSecretName: pool-peer-token-replicapool\n
 
This secret can then be fetched like so:
 
kubectl get secret -n rook-ceph pool-peer-token-replicapool -o jsonpath='{.data.token}'|base64 -d\neyJmc2lkIjoiOTFlYWUwZGQtMDZiMS00ZDJjLTkxZjMtMTMxMWM5ZGYzODJiIiwiY2xpZW50X2lkIjoicmJkLW1pcnJvci1wZWVyIiwia2V5IjoiQVFEN1psOWZ3V1VGRHhBQWdmY0gyZi8xeUhYeGZDUTU5L1N0NEE9PSIsIm1vbl9ob3N0IjoiW3YyOjEwLjEwMS4xOC4yMjM6MzMwMCx2MToxMC4xMDEuMTguMjIzOjY3ODldIn0=\n
 
The secret must be decoded. The result will be another base64 encoded blob that you will import in the destination cluster:

    • replicasPerFailureDomain: Sets up the number of replicas to place in a given failure domain. For instance, if the failure domain is a datacenter (cluster is stretched) then you will have 2 replicas per datacenter where each replica ends up on a different host. This gives you a total of 4 replicas and for this, the size must be set to 4. The default is 1.

    • subFailureDomain: Name of the CRUSH bucket representing a sub-failure domain. In a stretched configuration this option represent the \"last\" bucket where replicas will end up being written. Imagine the cluster is stretched across two datacenters, you can then have 2 copies per datacenter and each copy on a different CRUSH bucket. The default is \"host\".

    failureDomain: The failure domain across which the data will be spread. This can be set to a value of either osd or host, with host being the default setting. A failure domain can also be set to a different type (e.g. rack), if the OSDs are created on nodes with the supported topology labels. If the failureDomain is changed on the pool, the operator will create a new CRUSH rule and update the pool.     If a replicated pool of size 3 is configured and the failureDomain is set to host, all three copies of the replicated data will be placed on OSDs located on 3 different Ceph hosts. This case is guaranteed to tolerate a failure of two hosts without a loss of data. Similarly, a failure domain set to osd, can tolerate a loss of two OSD devices.
     
    If erasure coding is used, the data and coding chunks are spread across the configured failure domain.
     
    Caution
     
    Neither Rook, nor Ceph, prevent the creation of a cluster where the replicated data (or Erasure Coded chunks) can be written safely. By design, Ceph will delay checking for suitable OSDs until a write request is made and this write can hang if there are not sufficient OSDs to satisfy the request.
     
       
    • deviceClass: Sets up the CRUSH rule for the pool to distribute data only on the specified device class. If left empty or unspecified, the pool will use the cluster's default CRUSH root, which usually distributes data over all OSDs, regardless of their class. If deviceClass is specified on any pool, ensure that it is added to every pool in the cluster, otherwise Ceph will warn about pools with overlapping roots.
      •  
    • crushRoot: The root in the crush map to be used by the pool. If left empty or unspecified, the default root will be used. Creating a crush hierarchy for the OSDs currently requires the Rook toolbox to run the Ceph tools described here.

    • name: The name of Ceph pools is based on the metadata.name of the CephBlockPool CR. Some built-in Ceph pools require names that are incompatible with K8s resource names. These special pools can be configured by setting this name to override the name of the Ceph pool that is created instead of using the metadata.name for the pool. Only the following pool names are supported: .nfs, .mgr, and .rgw.root. See the example builtin mgr pool.

With poolProperties you can set any pool property:

"},{"location":"CRDs/Block-Storage/ceph-block-pool-crd/#erasure-coding","title":"Erasure Coding","text":"
Erasure coding allows you to keep your data safe while reducing the storage overhead. Instead of creating multiple replicas of the data, erasure coding divides the original data into chunks of equal size, then generates extra chunks of that same size for redundancy.
 
For example, if you have an object of size 2MB, the simplest erasure coding with two data chunks would divide the object into two chunks of size 1MB each (data chunks). One more chunk (coding chunk) of size 1MB will be generated. In total, 3MB will be stored in the cluster. The object will be able to suffer the loss of any one of the chunks and still be able to reconstruct the original object.
 
The number of data and coding chunks you choose will depend on your resiliency to loss and how much storage overhead is acceptable in your storage cluster. Here are some examples to illustrate how the number of chunks affects the storage and loss toleration.
 Data chunks (k) Coding chunks (m) Total storage Losses Tolerated OSDs required 2 1 1.5x 1 3 2 2 2x 2 4 4 2 1.5x 2 6 16 4 1.25x 4 20 
The failureDomain must be also be taken into account when determining the number of chunks. The failure domain determines the level in the Ceph CRUSH hierarchy where the chunks must be uniquely distributed. This decision will impact whether node losses or disk losses are tolerated. There could also be performance differences of placing the data across nodes or osds.
 
     
  • host: All chunks will be placed on unique hosts
    •  
  • osd: All chunks will be placed on unique OSDs
    •  
 
If you do not have a sufficient number of hosts or OSDs for unique placement the pool can be created, writing to the pool will hang.
 
Rook currently only configures two levels in the CRUSH map. It is also possible to configure other levels such as rack with by adding topology labels to the nodes.

This guide assumes you have created a Rook cluster as explained in the main Quickstart guide
 
RADOS currently uses pools both for data distribution (pools are shared into PGs, which map to OSDs) and as the granularity for security (capabilities can restrict access by pool).  Overloading pools for both purposes makes it hard to do multi-tenancy because it is not a good idea to have a very large number of pools.
 
A namespace would be a division of a pool into separate logical namespaces. For more information about BlockPool and namespace refer to the Ceph docs
 
Having multiple namespaces in a pool would allow multiple Kubernetes clusters to share one unique ceph cluster without creating a pool per kubernetes cluster and it will also allow to have tenant isolation between multiple tenants in a single Kubernetes cluster without creating multiple pools for tenants.

Rook allows creation and customization of storage clusters through the custom resource definitions (CRDs). There are primarily four different modes in which to create your cluster.
 
     
  1. Host Storage Cluster: Consume storage from host paths and raw devices
    2.  
  2. PVC Storage Cluster: Dynamically provision storage underneath Rook by specifying the storage class Rook should use to consume storage (via PVCs)
    3.  
  3. Stretched Storage Cluster: Distribute Ceph mons across three zones, while storage (OSDs) is only configured in two zones
    4.  
  4. External Ceph Cluster: Connect your K8s applications to an external Ceph cluster

For the latest ceph images, see the Ceph DockerHub.     To ensure a consistent version of the image is running across all nodes in the cluster, it is recommended to use a very specific image version.     Tags also exist that would give the latest version, but they are only recommended for test environments. For example, the tag v17 will be updated each time a new Quincy build is released.     Using the v17 tag is not recommended in production because it may lead to inconsistent versions of the image running across different nodes in the cluster.

  • dataDirHostPath: The path on the host (hostPath) where config and data should be stored for each of the services. If there are multiple clusters, the directory must be unique for each cluster. If the directory does not exist, it will be created. Because this directory persists on the host, it will remain after pods are deleted. Following paths and any of their subpaths must not be used: /etc/ceph, /rook or /var/log/ceph.
       
    • WARNING: For test scenarios, if you delete a cluster and start a new cluster on the same hosts, the path used by dataDirHostPath must be deleted. Otherwise, stale keys and other config will remain from the previous cluster and the new mons will fail to start. If this value is empty, each pod will get an ephemeral directory to store their config files that is tied to the lifetime of the pod running on that node. More details can be found in the Kubernetes empty dir docs.

When useAllNodes is set to true, Rook attempts to make Ceph cluster management as hands-off as possible while still maintaining reasonable data safety. If a usable node comes online, Rook will begin to use it automatically. To maintain a balance between hands-off usability and data safety, Nodes are removed from Ceph as OSD hosts only (1) if the node is deleted from Kubernetes itself or (2) if the node has its taints or affinities modified in such a way that the node is no longer usable by Rook. Any changes to taints or affinities, intentional or unintentional, may affect the data reliability of the Ceph cluster. In order to help protect against this somewhat, deletion of nodes by taint or affinity modifications must be \"confirmed\" by deleting the Rook Ceph operator pod and allowing the operator deployment to restart the pod.
 
For production clusters, we recommend that useAllNodes is set to false to prevent the Ceph cluster from suffering reduced data reliability unintentionally due to a user mistake. When useAllNodes is set to false, Rook relies on the user to be explicit about when nodes are added to or removed from the Ceph cluster. Nodes are only added to the Ceph cluster if the node is added to the Ceph cluster resource. Similarly, nodes are only removed if the node is removed from the Ceph cluster resource.

Below are the settings for host-based cluster. This type of cluster can specify devices for OSDs, both at the cluster and individual node level, for selecting which storage resources will be included in the cluster.
 
     
  • useAllDevices: true or false, indicating whether all devices found on nodes in the cluster should be automatically consumed by OSDs. Not recommended unless you have a very controlled environment where you will not risk formatting of devices with existing data. When true, all devices and partitions will be used. Is overridden by deviceFilter if specified. LVM logical volumes are not picked by useAllDevices.
    •  
  • deviceFilter: A regular expression for short kernel names of devices (e.g. sda) that allows selection of devices and partitions to be consumed by OSDs.  LVM logical volumes are not picked by deviceFilter.If individual devices have been specified for a node then this filter will be ignored.  This field uses golang regular expression syntax. For example:
       
    • sdb: Only selects the sdb device if found
      •  
    • ^sd.: Selects all devices starting with sd
      •  
    • ^sd[a-d]: Selects devices starting with sda, sdb, sdc, and sdd if found
      •  
    • ^s: Selects all devices that start with s
      •  
    • ^[^r]: Selects all devices that do not start with r
      •  
     
    •  
  • devicePathFilter: A regular expression for device paths (e.g. /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0:1:2:3-scsi-1) that allows selection of devices and partitions to be consumed by OSDs.  LVM logical volumes are not picked by devicePathFilter.If individual devices or deviceFilter have been specified for a node then this filter will be ignored.  This field uses golang regular expression syntax. For example:
       
    • ^/dev/sd.: Selects all devices starting with sd
      •  
    • ^/dev/disk/by-path/pci-.*: Selects all devices which are connected to PCI bus
      •  
     
    •  
  • devices: A list of individual device names belonging to this node to include in the storage cluster.
       
    • name: The name of the devices and partitions (e.g., sda). The full udev path can also be specified for devices, partitions, and logical volumes (e.g. /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST4000DM004-XXXX - this will not change after reboots).

Below are the settings for a PVC-based cluster.
 
     
  • storageClassDeviceSets: Explained in Storage Class Device Sets
    •  
"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/ceph-cluster-crd/#storage-class-device-sets","title":"Storage Class Device Sets","text":"
The following are the settings for Storage Class Device Sets which can be configured to create OSDs that are backed by block mode PVs.
 
     
  • name: A name for the set.
    •  
  • count: The number of devices in the set.
    •  
  • resources: The CPU and RAM requests/limits for the devices. (Optional)
    •  
  •  
    placement: The placement criteria for the devices. (Optional) Default is no placement criteria.
     
    The syntax is the same as for other placement configuration. It supports nodeAffinity, podAffinity, podAntiAffinity and tolerations keys.
     
    It is recommended to configure the placement such that the OSDs will be as evenly spread across nodes as possible. At a minimum, anti-affinity should be added so at least one OSD will be placed on each available nodes.
     
    However, if there are more OSDs than nodes, this anti-affinity will not be effective. Another placement scheme to consider is to add labels to the nodes in such a way that the OSDs can be grouped on those nodes, create multiple storageClassDeviceSets, and add node affinity to each of the device sets that will place the OSDs in those sets of nodes.
     
    Rook will automatically add required nodeAffinity to the OSD daemons to match the topology labels that are found on the nodes where the OSD prepare jobs ran. To ensure data durability, the OSDs are required to run in the same topology that the Ceph CRUSH map expects. For example, if the nodes are labeled with rack topology labels, the OSDs will be constrained to a certain rack. Without the topology labels, Rook will not constrain the OSDs beyond what is required by the PVs, for example to run in the zone where provisioned. See the OSD Topology section for the related labels.
     
    •  
  •  
    preparePlacement: The placement criteria for the preparation of the OSD devices. Creating OSDs is a two-step process and the prepare job may require different placement than the OSD daemons. If the preparePlacement is not specified, the placement will instead be applied for consistent placement for the OSD prepare jobs and OSD deployments. The preparePlacement is only useful for portable OSDs in the device sets. OSDs that are not portable will be tied to the host where the OSD prepare job initially runs.
     
       
    • For example, provisioning may require topology spread constraints across zones, but the OSD daemons may require constraints across hosts within the zones.
      •  
     
    •  
  • portable: If true, the OSDs will be allowed to move between nodes during failover. This requires a storage class that supports portability (e.g. aws-ebs, but not the local storage provisioner). If false, the OSDs will be assigned to a node permanently. Rook will configure Ceph's CRUSH map to support the portability.
    •  
  • tuneDeviceClass: For example, Ceph cannot detect AWS volumes as HDDs from the storage class \"gp2-csi\", so you can improve Ceph performance by setting this to true.
    •  
  • tuneFastDeviceClass: For example, Ceph cannot detect Azure disks as SSDs from the storage class \"managed-premium\", so you can improve Ceph performance by setting this to true..
    •  
  • volumeClaimTemplates: A list of PVC templates to use for provisioning the underlying storage devices.
       
    • metadata.name: \"data\", \"metadata\", or \"wal\". If a single template is provided, the name must be \"data\". If the name is \"metadata\" or \"wal\", the devices are used to store the Ceph metadata or WAL respectively. In both cases, the devices must be raw devices or LVM logical volumes.
         
      • resources.requests.storage: The desired capacity for the underlying storage devices.
        •  
      • storageClassName: The StorageClass to provision PVCs from. Default would be to use the cluster-default StorageClass.

The following storage selection settings are specific to Ceph and do not apply to other backends. All variables are key-value pairs represented as strings.
 
     
  • metadataDevice: Name of a device, partition or lvm to use for the metadata of OSDs on each node.  Performance can be improved by using a low latency device (such as SSD or NVMe) as the metadata device, while other spinning platter (HDD) devices on a node are used to store data. Provisioning will fail if the user specifies a metadataDevice but that device is not used as a metadata device by Ceph. Notably, ceph-volume will not use a device of the same device class (HDD, SSD, NVMe) as OSD devices for metadata, resulting in this failure.
    •  
  • databaseSizeMB:  The size in MB of a bluestore database. Include quotes around the size.
    •  
  • walSizeMB:  The size in MB of a bluestore write ahead log (WAL). Include quotes around the size.
    •  
  • deviceClass: The CRUSH device class to use for this selection of storage devices. (By default, if a device's class has not already been set, OSDs will automatically set a device's class to either hdd, ssd, or nvme  based on the hardware properties exposed by the Linux kernel.) These storage classes can then be used to select the devices backing a storage pool by specifying them as the value of the pool spec's deviceClass field. If updating the device class of an OSD after the OSD is already created, allowDeviceClassUpdate: true must be set. Otherwise updates to this deviceClass will be ignored.
    •  
  • initialWeight: The initial OSD weight in TiB units. By default, this value is derived from OSD's capacity.
    •  
  • primaryAffinity: The primary-affinity value of an OSD, within range [0, 1] (default: 1).
    •  
  • osdsPerDevice**: The number of OSDs to create on each device. High performance devices such as NVMe can handle running multiple OSDs. If desired, this can be overridden for each node and each device.
    •  
  • encryptedDevice**: Encrypt OSD volumes using dmcrypt (\"true\" or \"false\"). By default this option is disabled. See encryption for more information on encryption in Ceph. (Resizing is not supported for host-based clusters.)
    •  
  • crushRoot: The value of the root CRUSH map label. The default is default. Generally, you should not need to change this. However, if any of your topology labels may have the value default, you need to change crushRoot to avoid conflicts, since CRUSH map values need to be unique.

Resources should be specified so that the Rook components are handled after Kubernetes Pod Quality of Service classes. This allows to keep Rook components running when for example a node runs out of memory and the Rook components are not killed depending on their Quality of Service class.
 
You can set resource requests/limits for Rook components through the Resource Requirements/Limits structure in the following keys:
 
     
  • mon: Set resource requests/limits for mons
    •  
  • osd: Set resource requests/limits for OSDs.     This key applies for all OSDs regardless of their device classes.     In case of need to apply resource requests/limits for OSDs with particular device class use specific osd keys below.     If the memory resource is declared Rook will automatically set the OSD configuration osd_memory_target to the same value.     This aims to ensure that the actual OSD memory consumption is consistent with the OSD pods' resource declaration.
    •  
  • osd-<deviceClass>: Set resource requests/limits for OSDs on a specific device class.     Rook will automatically detect hdd, ssd, or nvme device classes. Custom device classes can also be set.
    •  
  • mgr: Set resource requests/limits for MGRs
    •  
  • mgr-sidecar: Set resource requests/limits for the MGR sidecar, which is only created when mgr.count: 2.     The sidecar requires very few resources since it only executes every 15 seconds to query Ceph for the active     mgr and update the mgr services if the active mgr changed.
    •  
  • prepareosd: Set resource requests/limits for OSD prepare job
    •  
  • crashcollector: Set resource requests/limits for crash. This pod runs wherever there is a Ceph pod running. It scrapes for Ceph daemon core dumps and sends them to the Ceph manager crash module so that core dumps are centralized and can be easily listed/accessed. You can read more about the Ceph Crash module.
    •  
  • logcollector: Set resource requests/limits for the log collector. When enabled, this container runs as side-car to each Ceph daemons.
    •  
  • cmd-reporter: Set resource requests/limits for the jobs that detect the ceph version and collect network info.
    •  
  • cleanup: Set resource requests/limits for cleanup job, responsible for wiping cluster's data after uninstall
    •  
  • exporter: Set resource requests/limits for Ceph exporter.
    •  
 
In order to provide the best possible experience running Ceph in containers, Rook internally recommends minimum memory limits if resource limits are passed. If a user configures a limit or request value that is too low, Rook will still run the pod(s) and print a warning to the operator log.
 
     
  • mon: 1024MB
    •  
  • mgr: 512MB
    •  
  • osd: 2048MB
    •  
  • crashcollector: 60MB
    •  
  • mgr-sidecar: 100MB limit, 40MB requests
    •  
  • prepareosd: no limits (see the note)
    •  
  • exporter: 128MB limit, 50MB requests
    •  
 
Note
 
We recommend not setting memory limits on the OSD prepare job to prevent OSD provisioning failure due to memory constraints. The OSD prepare job bursts memory usage during the OSD provisioning depending on the size of the device, typically 1-2Gi for large disks. The OSD prepare job only bursts a single time per OSD. All future runs of the OSD prepare job will detect the OSD is already provisioned and skip the provisioning.
 
Hint
 
The resources for MDS daemons are not configured in the Cluster. Refer to the Ceph Filesystem CRD instead.

The Rook Ceph operator will monitor the state of the CephCluster on various components by default. The following CRD settings are available:
 
     
  • healthCheck: main ceph cluster health monitoring section
    •  
 
Currently three health checks are implemented:
 
     
  • mon: health check on the ceph monitors, basically check whether monitors are members of the quorum. If after a certain timeout a given monitor has not joined the quorum back it will be failed over and replace by a new monitor.
    •  
  • osd: health check on the ceph osds
    •  
  • status: ceph health status check, periodically check the Ceph health state and reflects it in the CephCluster CR status field.
    •  
 
The liveness probe and startup probe of each daemon can also be controlled via livenessProbe and startupProbe respectively. The settings are valid for mon, mgr and osd. Here is a complete example for both daemonHealth, livenessProbe, and startupProbe:
 
healthCheck:\n  daemonHealth:\n    mon:\n      disabled: false\n      interval: 45s\n      timeout: 600s\n    osd:\n      disabled: false\n      interval: 60s\n    status:\n      disabled: false\n  livenessProbe:\n    mon:\n      disabled: false\n    mgr:\n      disabled: false\n    osd:\n      disabled: false\n  startupProbe:\n    mon:\n      disabled: false\n    mgr:\n      disabled: false\n    osd:\n      disabled: false\n
 
The probe's timing values and thresholds (but not the probe itself) can also be overridden. For more info, refer to the Kubernetes documentation.
 
For example, you could change the mgr probe by applying:
 
healthCheck:\n  startupProbe:\n    mgr:\n      disabled: false\n      probe:\n        initialDelaySeconds: 3\n        periodSeconds: 3\n        failureThreshold: 30\n  livenessProbe:\n    mgr:\n      disabled: false\n      probe:\n        initialDelaySeconds: 3\n        periodSeconds: 3\n
 
Changing the liveness probe is an advanced operation and should rarely be necessary. If you want to change these settings then modify the desired settings.

"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/ceph-cluster-crd/#osd-topology","title":"OSD Topology","text":"
The topology of the cluster is important in production environments where you want your data spread across failure domains. The topology can be controlled by adding labels to the nodes. When the labels are found on a node at first OSD deployment, Rook will add them to the desired level in the CRUSH map.
 
The complete list of labels in hierarchy order from highest to lowest is:
 
topology.kubernetes.io/region\ntopology.kubernetes.io/zone\ntopology.rook.io/datacenter\ntopology.rook.io/room\ntopology.rook.io/pod\ntopology.rook.io/pdu\ntopology.rook.io/row\ntopology.rook.io/rack\ntopology.rook.io/chassis\n
 
For example, if the following labels were added to a node:
 
kubectl label node mynode topology.kubernetes.io/zone=zone1\nkubectl label node mynode topology.rook.io/rack=zone1-rack1\n
 
These labels would result in the following hierarchy for OSDs on that node (this command can be run in the Rook toolbox):
 
$ ceph osd tree\nID CLASS WEIGHT  TYPE NAME                 STATUS REWEIGHT PRI-AFF\n-1       0.01358 root default\n-5       0.01358     zone zone1\n-4       0.01358         rack rack1\n-3       0.01358             host mynode\n0   hdd 0.00679                 osd.0         up  1.00000 1.00000\n1   hdd 0.00679                 osd.1         up  1.00000 1.00000\n
 
Ceph requires unique names at every level in the hierarchy (CRUSH map). For example, you cannot have two racks with the same name that are in different zones. Racks in different zones must be named uniquely.
 
Note that the host is added automatically to the hierarchy by Rook. The host cannot be specified with a topology label. All topology labels are optional.
 
Hint
 
When setting the node labels prior to CephCluster creation, these settings take immediate effect. However, applying this to an already deployed CephCluster requires removing each node from the cluster first and then re-adding it with new configuration to take effect. Do this node by node to keep your data safe! Check the result with ceph osd tree from the Rook Toolbox. The OSD tree should display the hierarchy for the nodes that already have been re-added.
 
To utilize the failureDomain based on the node labels, specify the corresponding option in the CephBlockPool
 
apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1\nkind: CephBlockPool\nmetadata:\n  name: replicapool\n  namespace: rook-ceph\nspec:\n  failureDomain: rack  # this matches the topology labels on nodes\n  replicated:\n    size: 3\n
 
This configuration will split the replication of volumes across unique racks in the data center setup.

  1. An event will be registered on the CephCluster resource
    2.  
  2. A status condition will be added to the CephCluster resource
    3.

Rook has the ability to cleanup resources and data that were deployed when a CephCluster is removed. The policy settings indicate which data should be forcibly deleted and in what way the data should be wiped. The cleanupPolicy has several fields:
 
     
  • confirmation: Only an empty string and yes-really-destroy-data are valid values for this field.     If this setting is empty, the cleanupPolicy settings will be ignored and Rook will not cleanup any resources during cluster removal.     To reinstall the cluster, the admin would then be required to follow the cleanup guide to delete the data on hosts.     If this setting is yes-really-destroy-data, the operator will automatically delete the data on hosts.     Because this cleanup policy is destructive, after the confirmation is set to yes-really-destroy-data     Rook will stop configuring the cluster as if the cluster is about to be destroyed.
    •  
  • sanitizeDisks: sanitizeDisks represents advanced settings that can be used to delete data on drives.
       
    • method: indicates if the entire disk should be sanitized or simply ceph's metadata. Possible choices are quick (default) or complete
      •  
    • dataSource: indicate where to get random bytes from to write on the disk. Possible choices are zero (default) or random.     Using random sources will consume entropy from the system and will take much more time then the zero source
      •  
    • iteration: overwrite N times instead of the default (1). Takes an integer value
      •  
     
    •  
  • allowUninstallWithVolumes: If set to true, then the cephCluster deletion doesn't wait for the PVCs to be deleted. Default is false.

kubectl -n rook-ceph patch cephcluster rook-ceph --type merge -p '{\"spec\":{\"cleanupPolicy\":{\"confirmation\":\"yes-really-destroy-data\"}}}'\n
 
Nothing will happen until the deletion of the CR is requested, so this can still be reverted. However, all new configuration by the operator will be blocked with this cleanup policy enabled.
 
Rook waits for the deletion of PVs provisioned using the cephCluster before proceeding to delete the cephCluster. To force deletion of the cephCluster without waiting for the PVs to be deleted, you can set the allowUninstallWithVolumes to true under spec.CleanupPolicy.

Rook deploys CephClusters using Kubernetes' software-defined networks by default. This is simple for users, provides necessary connectivity, and has good node-level security. However, this comes at the expense of additional latency, and the storage network must contend with Kubernetes applications for network bandwidth. It also means that Kubernetes applications coexist on the same network as Ceph daemons and can reach the Ceph cluster easily via network scanning.
 
Rook allows selecting alternative network providers to address some of these downsides, sometimes at the expense of others. Selecting alternative network providers is an advanced topic.
 
Note
 
This is an advanced networking topic. See also the CephCluster general networking settings.
"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/network-providers/#ceph-networking-fundamentals","title":"Ceph Networking Fundamentals","text":"
Ceph daemons can operate on up to two distinct networks: public, and cluster.
 
Ceph daemons always use the public network. The public network is used for client communications with the Ceph cluster (reads/writes). Rook configures this as the Kubernetes pod network by default. Ceph-CSI uses this network for PVCs.
 
The cluster network is optional and is used to isolate internal Ceph replication traffic. This includes additional copies of data replicated between OSDs during client reads/writes. This also includes OSD data recovery (re-replication) when OSDs or nodes go offline. If the cluster network is unspecified, the public network is used for this traffic instead.
 
Refer to Ceph networking documentation for deeper explanations of any topics.

network.addressRanges
 
This configuration is always optional but is important to understand.
 
Some Rook network providers allow specifying the public and network interfaces that Ceph will use for data traffic. Use addressRanges to specify this. For example:
 
  network:\n    provider: host\n    addressRanges:\n      public:\n        - \"192.168.100.0/24\"\n        - \"192.168.101.0/24\"\n      cluster:\n        - \"192.168.200.0/24\"\n
 
This public and cluster translate directly to Ceph's public_network and host_network configurations.
 
The default network provider cannot make use of these configurations.
 
Ceph public and cluster network configurations are allowed to change, but this should be done with great care. When updating underlying networks or Ceph network settings, Rook assumes that the current network configuration used by Ceph daemons will continue to operate as intended. Network changes are not applied to Ceph daemon pods (like OSDs and MDSes) until the pod is restarted. When making network changes, ensure that restarted pods will not lose connectivity to existing pods, and vice versa.
"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/network-providers/#host-networking","title":"Host Networking","text":"
network.provider: host
 
Host networking allows the Ceph cluster to use network interfaces on Kubernetes hosts for communication. This eliminates latency from the software-defined pod network, but it provides no host-level security isolation.
 
Ceph daemons will use any network available on the host for communication. To restrict Ceph to using only a specific specific host interfaces or networks, use addressRanges to select the network CIDRs Ceph will bind to on the host.
 
If the Ceph mons are expected to bind to a public network that is different from the IP address assign to the K8s node where the mon is running, the IP address for the mon can be set by adding an annotation to the node:
 
network.rook.io/mon-ip: <IPAddress>\n
 
If the host networking setting is changed in a cluster where mons are already running, the existing mons will remain running with the same network settings with which they were created. To complete the conversion to or from host networking after you update this setting, you will need to failover the mons in order to have mons on the desired network configuration.
"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/network-providers/#multus","title":"Multus","text":"
network.provider: multus
 
Rook supports using Multus NetworkAttachmentDefinitions for Ceph public and cluster networks.
 
This allows Rook to attach any CNI to Ceph as a public and/or cluster network. This provides strong isolation between Kubernetes applications and Ceph cluster daemons.
 
While any CNI may be used, the intent is to allow use of CNIs which allow Ceph to be connected to specific host interfaces. This improves latency and bandwidth while preserving host-level network isolation.
"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/network-providers/#multus-prerequisites","title":"Multus Prerequisites","text":"
In order for host network-enabled Ceph-CSI to communicate with a Multus-enabled CephCluster, some setup is required for Kubernetes hosts.
 
These prerequisites require an understanding of how Multus networks are configured and how Rook uses them. Following sections will help clarify questions that may arise here.
 
Two basic requirements must be met:
 
     
  1. Kubernetes hosts must be able to route successfully to the Multus public network.
    2.  
  2. Pods on the Multus public network must be able to route successfully to Kubernetes hosts.
    3.  
 
These two requirements can be broken down further as follows:
 
     
  1. For routing Kubernetes hosts to the Multus public network, each host must ensure the following:
       
    1. the host must have an interface connected to the Multus public network (the \"public-network-interface\").
      2.  
    2. the \"public-network-interface\" must have an IP address.
      3.  
    3. a route must exist to direct traffic destined for pods on the Multus public network through     the \"public-network-interface\".
      4.  
     
    2.  
  2. For routing pods on the Multus public network to Kubernetes hosts, the public     NetworkAttachementDefinition must be configured to ensure the following:
       
    1. The definition must have its IP Address Management (IPAM) configured to route traffic destined     for nodes through the network.
      2.  
     
    3.  
  3. To ensure routing between the two networks works properly, no IP address assigned to a node can     overlap with any IP address assigned to a pod on the Multus public network.
    4.  
 
These requirements require careful planning, but some methods are able to meet these requirements more easily than others. Examples are provided after the full document to help understand and implement these requirements.
 
Tip
 
Keep in mind that there are often ten or more Rook/Ceph pods per host. The pod address space may need to be an order of magnitude larger (or more) than the host address space to allow the storage cluster to grow in the future.
"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/network-providers/#multus-configuration","title":"Multus Configuration","text":"
Refer to Multus documentation for details about how to set up and select Multus networks.
 
Rook will attempt to auto-discover the network CIDRs for selected public and/or cluster networks. This process is not guaranteed to succeed. Furthermore, this process will get a new network lease for each CephCluster reconcile. Specify addressRanges manually if the auto-detection process fails or if the selected network configuration cannot automatically recycle released network leases.
 
Only OSD pods will have both public and cluster networks attached (if specified). The rest of the Ceph component pods and CSI pods will only have the public network attached. The Rook operator will not have any networks attached; it proxies Ceph commands via a sidecar container in the mgr pod.
 
A NetworkAttachmentDefinition must exist before it can be used by Multus for a Ceph network. A recommended definition will look like the following:
 
apiVersion: \"k8s.cni.cncf.io/v1\"\nkind: NetworkAttachmentDefinition\nmetadata:\n  name: ceph-multus-net\nspec:\n  config: '{\n      \"cniVersion\": \"0.3.1\",\n      \"type\": \"macvlan\",\n      \"master\": \"eth0\",\n      \"mode\": \"bridge\",\n      \"ipam\": {\n        \"type\": \"whereabouts\",\n        \"range\": \"192.168.200.0/24\"\n      }\n    }'\n
 
     
  • Note that the example above does not specify information that would route pods on the network to     Kubernetes hosts.
    •  
  • Ensure that master matches the network interface on hosts that you want to use.     It must be the same across all hosts.
    •  
  • CNI type macvlan is highly recommended.     It has less CPU and memory overhead compared to traditional Linux bridge configurations.
    •  
  • IPAM type whereabouts is recommended     because it ensures each pod gets an IP address unique within the Kubernetes cluster. No DHCP     server is required. If a DHCP server is present on the network, ensure the IP range does not     overlap with the DHCP server's range.
    •  
 
NetworkAttachmentDefinitions are selected for the desired Ceph network using selectors. Selector values should include the namespace in which the NAD is present. public and cluster may be selected independently. If public is left unspecified, Rook will configure Ceph to use the Kubernetes pod network for Ceph client traffic.
 
Consider the example below which selects a hypothetical Kubernetes-wide Multus network in the default namespace for Ceph's public network and selects a Ceph-specific network in the rook-ceph namespace for Ceph's cluster network. The commented-out portion shows an example of how address ranges could be manually specified for the networks if needed.
 
  network:\n    provider: multus\n    selectors:\n      public: default/kube-multus-net\n      cluster: rook-ceph/ceph-multus-net\n    # addressRanges:\n    #   public:\n    #     - \"192.168.100.0/24\"\n    #     - \"192.168.101.0/24\"\n    #   cluster:\n    #     - \"192.168.200.0/24\"\n

This migration section applies when any CephCluster network.provider is \"multus\". If the scenario does not apply, skip ahead to the Disabling Holder Pods section.
 
Step 1
 
Before setting CSI_ENABLE_HOST_NETWORK: \"true\" and CSI_DISABLE_HOLDER_PODS: \"true\", thoroughly read through the Multus Prerequisites section. Use the prerequisites section to develop a plan for modifying host configurations as well as the public NetworkAttachmentDefinition.
 
Once the plan is developed, execute the plan by following the steps below.
 
Step 2
 
First, modify the public NetworkAttachmentDefinition as needed. For example, it may be necessary to add the routes directive to the Whereabouts IPAM configuration as in this example.
 
Step 3
 
Next, modify the host configurations in the host configuration system. The host configuration system may be something like PXE, ignition config, cloud-init, Ansible, or any other such system. A node reboot is likely necessary to apply configuration updates, but wait until the next step to reboot nodes.
 
If desired, check that the NetworkAttachmentDefinition modification and host configurations are compatible using the Multus validation tool. For the upgrade case, use the hostCheckOnly: true config option or --host-check-only CLI flag.
 
Step 4
 
After the NetworkAttachmentDefinition is modified, OSD pods must be restarted. It is easiest to complete this requirement at the same time nodes are being rebooted to apply configuration updates.
 
For each node in the Kubernetes cluster:
 
     
  1. cordon and drain the node
    2.  
  2. Wait for all pods to drain
    3.  
  3. Reboot the node, ensuring the new host configuration will be applied
    4.  
  4. uncordon and undrain the node
    5.  
  5. Wait for the node to be rehydrated and stable
    6.  
  6. Proceed to the next node
    7.  
 
By following this process, host configurations will be updated, and OSDs are also automatically restarted as part of the drain and undrain process on each node.
 
OSDs can be restarted manually if node configuration updates do not require reboot.
 
Step 5
 
Once all nodes are running the new configuration and all OSDs have been restarted, check that the new node and NetworkAttachmentDefinition configurations are compatible. To do so, verify that each node can ping OSD pods via the public network.
 
Use the toolbox or the kubectl plugin to list OSD IPs.
 
The example below uses the kubectl plugin, and the OSD public network is 192.168.20.0/24.
 
$ kubectl rook-ceph ceph osd dump | grep 'osd\\.'\nosd.0 up   in  weight 1 up_from 7 up_thru 0 down_at 0 last_clean_interval [0,0) [v2:192.168.20.19:6800/213587265,v1:192.168.20.19:6801/213587265] [v2:192.168.30.1:6800/213587265,v1:192.168.30.1:6801/213587265] exists,up 7ebbc19a-d45a-4b12-8fef-0f9423a59e78\nosd.1 up   in  weight 1 up_from 24 up_thru 24 down_at 20 last_clean_interval [8,23) [v2:192.168.20.20:6800/3144257456,v1:192.168.20.20:6801/3144257456] [v2:192.168.30.2:6804/3145257456,v1:192.168.30.2:6805/3145257456] exists,up 146b27da-d605-4138-9748-65603ed0dfa5\nosd.2 up   in  weight 1 up_from 21 up_thru 0 down_at 20 last_clean_interval [18,20) [v2:192.168.20.21:6800/1809748134,v1:192.168.20.21:6801/1809748134] [v2:192.168.30.3:6804/1810748134,v1:192.168.30.3:6805/1810748134] exists,up ff3d6592-634e-46fd-a0e4-4fe9fafc0386\n
 
Now check that each node (NODE) can reach OSDs over the public network:
 
$ ssh user@NODE\n$ user@NODE $> ping -c3 192.168.20.19\n# [truncated, successful output]\n$ user@NODE $> ping -c3 192.168.20.20\n# [truncated, successful output]\n$ user@NODE $> ping -c3 192.168.20.21\n# [truncated, successful output]\n
 
If any node does not get a successful ping to a running OSD, it is not safe to proceed. A problem may arise here for many reasons. Some reasons include: the host may not be properly attached to the Multus public network, the public NetworkAttachmentDefinition may not be properly configured to route back to the host, the host may have a firewall rule blocking the connection in either direction, or the network switch may have a firewall rule blocking the connection. Diagnose and fix the issue, then return to Step 1.
 
Step 6
 
If the above check succeeds for all nodes, proceed with the Disabling Holder Pods steps below.
"},{"location":"CRDs/Cluster/network-providers/#disabling-holder-pods","title":"Disabling Holder Pods","text":"
Step 1
 
If any CephClusters have Multus enabled (network.provider: \"multus\"), follow the Disabling Holder Pods with Multus steps above before continuing.
 
Step 2
 
Begin by setting CSI_DISABLE_HOLDER_PODS: \"true\". If CSI_ENABLE_HOST_NETWORK is set to \"false\", also set this value to \"true\" at the same time.
 
After this, csi-*plugin-* pods will restart, and csi-*plugin-holder-* pods will remain running.
 
Step 3
 
Check that CSI pods are using the correct host networking configuration using the example below as guidance (in the example, CSI_ENABLE_HOST_NETWORK is \"true\"):
 
$ kubectl -n rook-ceph get -o yaml daemonsets.apps csi-rbdplugin | grep -i hostnetwork\n      hostNetwork: true\n$ kubectl -n rook-ceph get -o yaml daemonsets.apps csi-cephfsplugin | grep -i hostnetwork\n      hostNetwork: true\n$ kubectl -n rook-ceph get -o yaml daemonsets.apps csi-nfsplugin | grep -i hostnetwork\n      hostNetwork: true\n
 
Step 4
 
At this stage, PVCs for running applications are still using the holder pods. These PVCs must be migrated from the holder to the new network. Follow the below process to do so.
 
For each node in the Kubernetes cluster:
 
     
  1. cordon and drain the node
    2.  
  2. Wait for all pods to drain
    3.  
  3. Delete all csi-*plugin-holder* pods on the node (a new holder will take it's place)
    4.  
  4. uncordon and undrain the node
    5.  
  5. Wait for the node to be rehydrated and stable
    6.  
  6. Proceed to the next node
    7.  
 
Step 5
 
After this process is done for all Kubernetes nodes, it is safe to delete the csi-*plugin-holder* daemonsets.
 
Delete the holder daemonsets using the example below as guidance:
 
$ kubectl -n rook-ceph get daemonset -o name | grep plugin-holder\ndaemonset.apps/csi-cephfsplugin-holder-my-cluster\ndaemonset.apps/csi-rbdplugin-holder-my-cluster\n\n$ kubectl -n rook-ceph delete daemonset.apps/csi-cephfsplugin-holder-my-cluster\ndaemonset.apps \"csi-cephfsplugin-holder-my-cluster\" deleted\n\n$ kubectl -n rook-ceph delete daemonset.apps/csi-rbdplugin-holder-my-cluster\ndaemonset.apps \"csi-rbdplugin-holder-my-cluster\" deleted\n
 
Step 6
 
The migration is now complete! Congratulations!

In the simplest case, Ceph OSD BlueStore consumes a single (primary) storage device. BlueStore is the engine used by the OSD to store data.
 
The storage device is normally used as a whole, occupying the full device that is managed directly by BlueStore. It is also possible to deploy BlueStore across additional devices such as a DB device. This device can be used for storing BlueStore\u2019s internal metadata. BlueStore (or rather, the embedded RocksDB) will put as much metadata as it can on the DB device to improve performance. If the DB device fills up, metadata will spill back onto the primary device (where it would have been otherwise). Again, it is only helpful to provision a DB device if it is faster than the primary device.
 
You can have multiple volumeClaimTemplates where each might either represent a device or a metadata device. An example of the storage section when specifying the metadata device is:
 
  storage:\n   storageClassDeviceSets:\n    - name: set1\n      count: 3\n      portable: false\n      volumeClaimTemplates:\n      - metadata:\n          name: data\n        spec:\n          resources:\n            requests:\n              storage: 10Gi\n          # IMPORTANT: Change the storage class depending on your environment (e.g. local-storage, gp2)\n          storageClassName: gp2\n          volumeMode: Block\n          accessModes:\n            - ReadWriteOnce\n      - metadata:\n          name: metadata\n        spec:\n          resources:\n            requests:\n              # Find the right size https://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rados/configuration/bluestore-config-ref/#sizing\n              storage: 5Gi\n          # IMPORTANT: Change the storage class depending on your environment (e.g. local-storage, io1)\n          storageClassName: io1\n          volumeMode: Block\n          accessModes:\n            - ReadWriteOnce\n
 
Note
 
Note that Rook only supports three naming convention for a given template:
 
     
  • \"data\": represents the main OSD block device, where your data is being stored.
    •  
  • \"metadata\": represents the metadata (including block.db and block.wal) device used to store the Ceph Bluestore database for an OSD.
    •  
  • \"wal\": represents the block.wal device used to store the Ceph Bluestore database for an OSD. If this device is set, \"metadata\" device will refer specifically to block.db device. It is recommended to use a faster storage class for the metadata or wal device, with a slower device for the data. Otherwise, having a separate metadata device will not improve the performance.

For environments that only have two failure domains available where data can be replicated, consider the case where one failure domain is down and the data is still fully available in the remaining failure domain. To support this scenario, Ceph has integrated support for \"stretch\" clusters.
 
Rook requires three zones. Two zones (A and B) will each run all types of Rook pods, which we call the \"data\" zones. Two mons run in each of the two data zones, while two replicas of the data are in each zone for a total of four data replicas. The third zone (arbiter) runs a single mon. No other Rook or Ceph daemons need to be run in the arbiter zone.
 
For this example, we assume the desired failure domain is a zone. Another failure domain can also be specified with a known topology node label which is already being used for OSD failure domains.

During deletion of a CephObjectStore resource, Rook protects against accidental or premature destruction of user data by blocking deletion if there are any object buckets in the object store being deleted. Buckets may have been created by users or by ObjectBucketClaims.
 
For deletion to be successful, all buckets in the object store must be removed. This may require manual deletion or removal of all ObjectBucketClaims. Alternately, the cephobjectstore.ceph.rook.io finalizer on the CephObjectStore can be removed to remove the Kubernetes Custom Resource, but the Ceph pools which store the data will not be removed in this case.
 
Rook will warn about which buckets are blocking deletion in three ways:
 
     
  1. An event will be registered on the CephObjectStore resource
    2.  
  2. A status condition will be added to the CephObjectStore resource
    3.  
  3. An error will be added to the Rook Ceph Operator log
    4.  
 
If the CephObjectStore is configured in a multisite setup the above conditions are applicable only to stores that belong to a single master zone. Otherwise the conditions are ignored. Even if the store is removed the user can access the data from a peer object store.

This sample requires at least 3 bluestore OSDs, with each OSD located on a different node.
 
The OSDs must be located on different nodes, because the failureDomain will be set to host by default, and the erasureCoded chunk settings require at least 3 different OSDs (2 dataChunks + 1 codingChunks).

IMPORTANT: For erasure coded pools, we have to create a replicated pool as the default data pool and an erasure-coded pool as a secondary pool.
 
(These definitions can also be found in the filesystem-ec.yaml file. Also see an example in the storageclass-ec.yaml for how to configure the volume.)

The format of the resource requests/limits structure is the same as described in the Ceph Cluster CRD documentation.
 
If the memory resource limit is declared Rook will automatically set the MDS configuration mds_cache_memory_limit. The configuration value is calculated with the aim that the actual MDS memory consumption remains consistent with the MDS pods' resource declaration.
 
In order to provide the best possible experience running Ceph in containers, Rook internally recommends the memory for MDS daemons to be at least 4096MB. If a user configures a limit or request value that is too low, Rook will still run the pod(s) and print a warning to the operator log.

CephFS will support asynchronous replication of snapshots to a remote (different Ceph cluster) CephFS file system via cephfs-mirror tool.

"},{"location":"Contributing/development-environment/#minikube","title":"Minikube","text":"
The developers of Rook are working on Minikube and thus it is the recommended way to quickly get Rook up and running. Minikube should not be used for production but the Rook authors consider it great for development. While other tools such as k3d/kind are great, users have faced issues deploying Rook.
 
Always use a virtual machine when testing Rook. Never use your host system where local devices may mistakenly be consumed.
 
To install Minikube follow the official guide. It is recommended to use the kvm2 driver when running on a Linux machine and the hyperkit driver when running on a MacOS. Both allow to create and attach additional disks to the virtual machine. This is required for the Ceph OSD to consume one drive.  We don't recommend any other drivers for Rook. You will need a Minikube version 1.23 or higher.
 
Starting the cluster on Minikube is as simple as running:
 
# On Linux\nminikube start --disk-size=40g --extra-disks=1 --driver kvm2\n\n# On MacOS with Intel processor\nminikube start --disk-size=40g --extra-disks=1 --driver hyperkit\n\n# On MacOS with Apple silicon\nminikube start --disk-size=40g --extra-disks 1 --driver qemu\n
 
It is recommended to install a Docker client on your host system too. Depending on your operating system follow the official guide.
 
Stopping the cluster and destroying the Minikube virtual machine can be done with:
 
minikube delete\n

1) Set the local Docker environment to use minikube:

2) Build your local Rook image. The following command will generate a Rook image labeled in the format local/ceph-<arch>.
 
```console\ncd <your_rook_src_directory>\nmake BUILD_REGISTRY=local\n```\n
 
3) Tag the generated image as rook/ceph:master so operator will pick it.
 
```console\ndocker tag \"local/ceph-$(go env GOARCH)\" 'rook/ceph:master'\n```\n
 
4) Create a Rook cluster in minikube, or if the Rook cluster is already configured, apply the new operator image by restarting the operator.

Once setup, users can use the different *-test.yaml files from the deploy/examples/ directory to configure their clusters. This script supports the possibility of creating multiple rook clusters running on the same machine by using the option -p <profile-name>.

To submit a change, create a branch in your fork and then submit a pull request (PR) from the branch.
"},{"location":"Contributing/development-flow/#design-document","title":"Design Document","text":"
For new features of significant scope and complexity, a design document is recommended before work begins on the implementation. Create a design document if:
 
     
  • Adding a new CRD
    •  
  • Adding a significant feature.
    •  
 
For smaller, straightforward features and bug fixes, there is no need for a design document. Authoring a design document has many advantages:
 
     
  • Forces the author to think critically about the feature and identify potential issues early in the design
    •  
  • Obtain agreement amongst the community before code is written to avoid wasted effort in the wrong direction
    •  
  • Newcomers may more quickly understand the feature
    •  
 
Note
 
Writing code to prototype the feature while working on the design may be very useful to help flesh out the approach.
 
A design document should be written as a markdown file in the design folder. Follow the process outlined in the design template. There are many examples of previous design documents in that folder. Submit a pull request for the design to be discussed and approved by the community, just like any other change to the repository.

From a console, create a new branch based on your fork where changes will be developed:
 
# Update the remotes\ngit fetch --all\n\n# Create a new branch that is based off upstream master.  Give it a simple, but descriptive name.\n# Generally it will be two to three words separated by dashes and without numbers.\ngit checkout -b feature-name upstream/master\n

During the development lifecycle, keep your branch(es) updated with the latest upstream master. As others on the team push changes, rebase your commits on top of the latest. This avoids unnecessary merge commits and keeps the commit history clean.
 
Whenever an update is needed to the local repository, never perform a merge, always rebase. This will avoid merge commits in the git history. If there are any modified files, first stash them with git stash.
 
git fetch --all\ngit rebase upstream/master\n
 
Rebasing is a very powerful feature of Git. You need to understand how it works to avoid risking losing your work. Read about it in the Git documentation. Briefly, rebasing does the following:
 
     
  • \"Unwinds\" the local commits. The local commits are removed temporarily from the history.
    •  
  • The latest changes from upstream are added to the history
    •  
  • The local commits are re-applied one by one
    •  
  • If there are merge conflicts, there will be a prompt to fix them before continuing. Read the output closely. It will instruct how to complete the rebase.
    •  
  • When rebasing is completed, all of the commits are restored in the history.

To prepare your branch to open a PR, the minimal number of logical commits is preferred to maintain a clean commit history. Most commonly a PR will include a single commit where all changes are squashed, although sometimes there will be multiple logical commits.
 
# Inspect your commit history to determine if you need to squash commits\ngit log\n
 
To squash multiple commits or make other changes to the commit history, use git rebase:
 
#\n# In this example, the last 5 commits will be opened in the git rebase tool.\ngit rebase -i HEAD~5\n
 
Once your commit history is clean, ensure the branch is rebased on the latest upstream before opening the PR.

helm-docs is a tool that generates the documentation for a helm chart automatically. If there are changes in the helm chart, the developer needs to run make docs (to run helm-docs) and check in the resulting autogenerated files. To make it easy to check locally for uncommitted changes generated by make docs, an additional make target exists: simply running make check-docs will run the docs auto-generation and will complain if this produces uncommitted changes to doc files. It is therefore a good habit to always run make check-docs locally before creating or updating a PR.

The integration tests run end-to-end tests on Rook in a running instance of Kubernetes. The framework includes scripts for starting Kubernetes so users can quickly spin up a Kubernetes cluster. The tests are generally designed to install Rook, run tests, and uninstall Rook.
 
The CI runs the integration tests with each PR and each master or release branch build. If the tests fail in a PR, access the tmate for debugging.
 
This document will outline the steps to run the integration tests locally in a minikube environment, should the CI not be sufficient to troubleshoot.
 
Hint
 
The CI is generally much simpler to troubleshoot than running these tests locally. Running the tests locally is rarely necessary.

Warning
 
DATA WILL BE PERMANENTLY DELETED AFTER DELETING THE CephCluster
 
     
  1.  
    To instruct Rook to wipe the host paths and volumes, edit the CephCluster and add the cleanupPolicy:
     
    kubectl -n rook-ceph patch cephcluster rook-ceph --type merge -p '{\"spec\":{\"cleanupPolicy\":{\"confirmation\":\"yes-really-destroy-data\"}}}'\n
     
    Once the cleanup policy is enabled, any new configuration changes in the CephCluster will be blocked. Nothing will happen until the deletion of the CR is requested, so this cleanupPolicy change can still be reverted if needed.
     
    Checkout more details about the cleanupPolicy here
     
    2.  
  2.  
    Delete the CephCluster CR.
     
    kubectl -n rook-ceph delete cephcluster rook-ceph\n
     
    3.  
  3.  
    Verify that the cluster CR has been deleted before continuing to the next step.
     
    kubectl -n rook-ceph get cephcluster\n
     
    4.  
  4.  
    If the cleanupPolicy was applied, wait for the rook-ceph-cleanup jobs to be completed on all the nodes.
     
    These jobs will perform the following operations:
     
       
    • Delete the all files under dataDirHostPath on all the nodes
      •  
    • Wipe the data on the drives on all the nodes where OSDs were running in this cluster
      •  
     
    5.  
 
Note
 
The cleanup jobs might not start if the resources created on top of Rook Cluster are not deleted completely. See deleting block and file artifacts

Attention
 
The final cleanup step requires deleting files on each host in the cluster. All files under the dataDirHostPath property specified in the cluster CRD will need to be deleted. Otherwise, inconsistent state will remain when a new cluster is started.
 
If the cleanupPolicy was not added to the CephCluster CR before deleting the cluster, these manual steps are required to tear down the cluster.
 
Connect to each machine and delete all files under dataDirHostPath.

Disks on nodes used by Rook for OSDs can be reset to a usable state. Note that these scripts are not one-size-fits-all. Please use them with discretion to ensure you are not removing data unrelated to Rook.
 
A single disk can usually be cleared with some or all of the steps below.
 
DISK=\"/dev/sdX\"\n\n# Zap the disk to a fresh, usable state (zap-all is important, b/c MBR has to be clean)\nsgdisk --zap-all $DISK\n\n# Wipe a large portion of the beginning of the disk to remove more LVM metadata that may be present\ndd if=/dev/zero of=\"$DISK\" bs=1M count=100 oflag=direct,dsync\n\n# SSDs may be better cleaned with blkdiscard instead of dd\nblkdiscard $DISK\n\n# Inform the OS of partition table changes\npartprobe $DISK\n
 
Ceph can leave LVM and device mapper data on storage drives, preventing them from being redeployed. These steps can clean former Ceph drives for reuse. Note that this only needs to be run once on each node. If you have only one Rook cluster and all Ceph disks are being wiped, run the following command.
 
# This command hangs on some systems: with caution, 'dmsetup remove_all --force' can be used\nls /dev/mapper/ceph-* | xargs -I% -- dmsetup remove %\n\n# ceph-volume setup can leave ceph-<UUID> directories in /dev and /dev/mapper (unnecessary clutter)\nrm -rf /dev/ceph-*\nrm -rf /dev/mapper/ceph--*\n
 
If disks are still reported locked, rebooting the node often helps clear LVM-related holds on disks.
 
If there are multiple Ceph clusters and some disks are not wiped yet, it is necessary to manually determine which disks map to which device mapper devices.
"},{"location":"Getting-Started/ceph-teardown/#troubleshooting","title":"Troubleshooting","text":"
The most common issue cleaning up the cluster is that the rook-ceph namespace or the cluster CRD remain indefinitely in the terminating state. A namespace cannot be removed until all of its resources are removed, so determine which resources are pending termination.
 
If a pod is still terminating, consider forcefully terminating the pod (kubectl -n rook-ceph delete pod <name>).
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph get pod\n
 
If the cluster CRD still exists even though it has been deleted, see the next section on removing the finalizer.
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph get cephcluster\n
"},{"location":"Getting-Started/ceph-teardown/#removing-the-cluster-crd-finalizer","title":"Removing the Cluster CRD Finalizer","text":"
When a Cluster CRD is created, a finalizer is added automatically by the Rook operator. The finalizer will allow the operator to ensure that before the cluster CRD is deleted, all block and file mounts will be cleaned up. Without proper cleanup, pods consuming the storage will be hung indefinitely until a system reboot.
 
The operator is responsible for removing the finalizer after the mounts have been cleaned up. If for some reason the operator is not able to remove the finalizer (i.e., the operator is not running anymore), delete the finalizer manually with the following command:
 
for CRD in $(kubectl get crd -n rook-ceph | awk '/ceph.rook.io/ {print $1}'); do\n    kubectl get -n rook-ceph \"$CRD\" -o name | \\\n    xargs -I {} kubectl patch -n rook-ceph {} --type merge -p '{\"metadata\":{\"finalizers\": []}}'\ndone\n
 
If the namespace is still stuck in Terminating state, check which resources are holding up the deletion and remove their finalizers as well:

Rook adds a finalizer ceph.rook.io/disaster-protection to resources critical to the Ceph cluster so that the resources will not be accidentally deleted.
 
The operator is responsible for removing the finalizers when a CephCluster is deleted. If the operator is not able to remove the finalizers (i.e., the operator is not running anymore), remove the finalizers manually:

"},{"location":"Getting-Started/ceph-teardown/#force-delete-resources","title":"Force Delete Resources","text":"
To keep your data safe in the cluster, Rook disallows deleting critical cluster resources by default. To override this behavior and force delete a specific custom resource, add the annotation rook.io/force-deletion=\"true\" to the resource and then delete it. Rook will start a cleanup job that will delete all the related ceph resources created by that custom resource.
 
For example, run the following commands to clean the CephFilesystemSubVolumeGroup resource named my-subvolumegroup
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph annotate cephfilesystemsubvolumegroups.ceph.rook.io my-subvolumegroup rook.io/force-deletion=\"true\"\nkubectl -n rook-ceph delete cephfilesystemsubvolumegroups.ceph.rook.io my-subvolumegroup\n

  • storageclass-ec.yaml: Configures erasure coding for data durability rather than replication. Ceph's erasure coding is more efficient than replication so you can get high reliability without the 3x replication cost of the preceding example (but at the cost of higher computational encoding and decoding costs on the worker nodes). Erasure coding requires at least three worker nodes. See the Erasure coding documentation.

Rook is an open source cloud-native storage orchestrator, providing the platform, framework, and support for Ceph storage to natively integrate with cloud-native environments.
 
Ceph is a distributed storage system that provides file, block and object storage and is deployed in large scale production clusters.
 
Rook automates deployment and management of Ceph to provide self-managing, self-scaling, and self-healing storage services. The Rook operator does this by building on Kubernetes resources to deploy, configure, provision, scale, upgrade, and monitor Ceph.
 
The Ceph operator was declared stable in December 2018 in the Rook v0.9 release, providing a production storage platform for many years. Rook is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as a graduated level project.

Ceph is a highly scalable distributed storage solution for block storage, object storage, and shared filesystems with years of production deployments.
"},{"location":"Getting-Started/storage-architecture/#design","title":"Design","text":"
Rook enables Ceph storage to run on Kubernetes using Kubernetes primitives. With Ceph running in the Kubernetes cluster, Kubernetes applications can mount block devices and filesystems managed by Rook, or can use the S3/Swift API for object storage. The Rook operator automates configuration of storage components and monitors the cluster to ensure the storage remains available and healthy.
 
The Rook operator is a simple container that has all that is needed to bootstrap and monitor the storage cluster. The operator will start and monitor Ceph monitor pods, the Ceph OSD daemons to provide RADOS storage, as well as start and manage other Ceph daemons. The operator manages CRDs for pools, object stores (S3/Swift), and filesystems by initializing the pods and other resources necessary to run the services.
 
The operator will monitor the storage daemons to ensure the cluster is healthy. Ceph mons will be started or failed over when necessary, and other adjustments are made as the cluster grows or shrinks.  The operator will also watch for desired state changes specified in the Ceph custom resources (CRs) and apply the changes.
 
Rook automatically configures the Ceph-CSI driver to mount the storage to your pods. The rook/ceph image includes all necessary tools to manage the cluster. Rook is not in the Ceph data path. Many of the Ceph concepts like placement groups and crush maps are hidden so you don't have to worry about them. Instead, Rook creates a simplified user experience for admins that is in terms of physical resources, pools, volumes, filesystems, and buckets. Advanced configuration can be applied when needed with the Ceph tools.
 
Rook is implemented in golang. Ceph is implemented in C++ where the data path is highly optimized. We believe this combination offers the best of both worlds.
"},{"location":"Getting-Started/storage-architecture/#architecture","title":"Architecture","text":"
Example applications are shown above for the three supported storage types:
 
     
  • Block Storage is represented with a blue app, which has a ReadWriteOnce (RWO) volume mounted. The application can read and write to the RWO volume, while Ceph manages the IO.
    •  
  • Shared Filesystem is represented by two purple apps that are sharing a ReadWriteMany (RWX) volume. Both applications can actively read or write simultaneously to the volume. Ceph will ensure the data is safely protected for multiple writers with the MDS daemon.
    •  
  • Object storage is represented by an orange app that can read and write to a bucket with a standard S3 client.
    •  
 
Below the dotted line in the above diagram, the components fall into three categories:
 
     
  • Rook operator (blue layer): The operator automates configuration of Ceph
    •  
  • CSI plugins and provisioners (orange layer): The Ceph-CSI driver provides the provisioning and mounting of volumes
    •  
  • Ceph daemons (red layer): The Ceph daemons run the core storage architecture. See the Glossary to learn more about each daemon.

Production clusters must have three or more nodes for a resilient storage platform.

    •  
  • K8s calls the Ceph-CSI RBD provisioner to create the Ceph RBD image.

If you want to use an image from authenticated docker registry (e.g. for image cache/mirror), you'll need to add an imagePullSecret to all relevant service accounts. See the next section for the required service accounts.
 
The whole process is described in the official kubernetes documentation.
"},{"location":"Getting-Started/Prerequisites/authenticated-registry/#example-setup-for-a-ceph-cluster","title":"Example setup for a ceph cluster","text":"
To get you started, here's a quick rundown for the ceph example from the quickstart guide.
 
First, we'll create the secret for our registry as described here (the secret will be created in the rook-ceph namespace, make sure to change it if your Rook Ceph Operator/Cluster is in another namespace):
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph create secret docker-registry my-registry-secret --docker-server=DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVER --docker-username=DOCKER_USER --docker-password=DOCKER_PASSWORD --docker-email=DOCKER_EMAIL\n
 
Next we'll add the following snippet to all relevant service accounts as described here:
 
imagePullSecrets:\n- name: my-registry-secret\n
 
The service accounts are:
 
     
  • rook-ceph-system (namespace: rook-ceph): Will affect all pods created by the rook operator in the rook-ceph namespace.
    •  
  • rook-ceph-default (namespace: rook-ceph): Will affect most pods in the rook-ceph namespace.
    •  
  • rook-ceph-mgr (namespace: rook-ceph): Will affect the MGR pods in the rook-ceph namespace.
    •  
  • rook-ceph-osd (namespace: rook-ceph): Will affect the OSD pods in the rook-ceph namespace.
    •  
  • rook-ceph-rgw (namespace: rook-ceph): Will affect the RGW pods in the rook-ceph namespace.
    •  
 
Since it's the same procedure for all service accounts, here is just one example:
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph edit serviceaccount rook-ceph-default\n
 
apiVersion: v1\nkind: ServiceAccount\nmetadata:\n  name: rook-ceph-default\n  namespace: rook-ceph\nsecrets:\n- name: default-token-12345\n# Add the highlighted lines:\nimagePullSecrets:\n- name: my-registry-secret\n
 
After doing this for all service accounts all pods should be able to pull the image from your registry.

To configure the Ceph storage cluster, at least one of these local storage types is required:
 
     
  • Raw devices (no partitions or formatted filesystems)

If the FSTYPE field is not empty, there is a filesystem on top of the corresponding device. In this example, vdb is available to Rook, while vda and its partitions have a filesystem and are not available.
"},{"location":"Getting-Started/Prerequisites/prerequisites/#lvm-package","title":"LVM package","text":"
Ceph OSDs have a dependency on LVM in the following scenarios:

    •  
  • A metadata device is specified
    •  
  • osdsPerDevice is greater than 1

LVM is not required for OSDs in these scenarios:
 
     
  • OSDs are created on raw devices or partitions
    •  
  • OSDs are created on PVCs using the storageClassDeviceSets
    •  
 
If LVM is required, LVM needs to be available on the hosts where OSDs will be running. Some Linux distributions do not ship with the lvm2 package. This package is required on all storage nodes in the k8s cluster to run Ceph OSDs. Without this package even though Rook will be able to successfully create the Ceph OSDs, when a node is rebooted the OSD pods running on the restarted node will fail to start. Please install LVM using your Linux distribution's package manager. For example:
 
CentOS:
 
sudo yum install -y lvm2\n
 
Ubuntu:
 
sudo apt-get install -y lvm2\n
 
RancherOS:

Attention
 
The final cleanup step requires deleting files on each host in the cluster. All files under the dataDirHostPath property specified in the cluster CRD will need to be deleted. Otherwise, inconsistent state will remain when a new cluster is started.

Disks on nodes used by Rook for OSDs can be reset to a usable state. Note that these scripts are not one-size-fits-all. Please use them with discretion to ensure you are not removing data unrelated to Rook.
 
A single disk can usually be cleared with some or all of the steps below.
 
DISK=\"/dev/sdX\"\n\n# Zap the disk to a fresh, usable state (zap-all is important, b/c MBR has to be clean)\nsgdisk --zap-all $DISK\n\n# Wipe a large portion of the beginning of the disk to remove more LVM metadata that may be present\ndd if=/dev/zero of=\"$DISK\" bs=1M count=100 oflag=direct,dsync\n\n# SSDs may be better cleaned with blkdiscard instead of dd\nblkdiscard $DISK\n\n# Inform the OS of partition table changes\npartprobe $DISK\n
 
Ceph can leave LVM and device mapper data on storage drives, preventing them from being redeployed. These steps can clean former Ceph drives for reuse. Note that this only needs to be run once on each node. If you have only one Rook cluster and all Ceph disks are being wiped, run the following command.
 
# This command hangs on some systems: with caution, 'dmsetup remove_all --force' can be used\nls /dev/mapper/ceph-* | xargs -I% -- dmsetup remove %\n\n# ceph-volume setup can leave ceph-<UUID> directories in /dev and /dev/mapper (unnecessary clutter)\nrm -rf /dev/ceph-*\nrm -rf /dev/mapper/ceph--*\n
 
If disks are still reported locked, rebooting the node often helps clear LVM-related holds on disks.
 
If there are multiple Ceph clusters and some disks are not wiped yet, it is necessary to manually determine which disks map to which device mapper devices.

The most common issue cleaning up the cluster is that the rook-ceph namespace or the cluster CRD remain indefinitely in the terminating state. A namespace cannot be removed until all of its resources are removed, so determine which resources are pending termination.
 
If a pod is still terminating, consider forcefully terminating the pod (kubectl -n rook-ceph delete pod <name>).
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph get pod\n
 
If the cluster CRD still exists even though it has been deleted, see the next section on removing the finalizer.

When a Cluster CRD is created, a finalizer is added automatically by the Rook operator. The finalizer will allow the operator to ensure that before the cluster CRD is deleted, all block and file mounts will be cleaned up. Without proper cleanup, pods consuming the storage will be hung indefinitely until a system reboot.
 
The operator is responsible for removing the finalizer after the mounts have been cleaned up. If for some reason the operator is not able to remove the finalizer (i.e., the operator is not running anymore), delete the finalizer manually with the following command:

kubectl -n rook-ceph patch configmap rook-ceph-mon-endpoints --type merge -p '{\"metadata\":{\"finalizers\": []}}'\nkubectl -n rook-ceph patch secrets rook-ceph-mon --type merge -p '{\"metadata\":{\"finalizers\": []}}'\n

To keep your data safe in the cluster, Rook disallows deleting critical cluster resources by default. To override this behavior and force delete a specific custom resource, add the annotation rook.io/force-deletion=\"true\" to the resource and then delete it. Rook will start a cleanup job that will delete all the related ceph resources created by that custom resource.
 
For example, run the following commands to clean the CephFilesystemSubVolumeGroup resource named my-subvolumegroup

Info
 
The advised method for controlling Ceph configuration is to use the cephConfig: structure in the CephCluster CRD. It is highly recommended that this only be used when absolutely necessary and that the config be reset to an empty string if/when the configurations are no longer necessary. Configurations in the config file will make the Ceph cluster less configurable from the CLI and dashboard and may make future tuning or debugging difficult.
 
Setting configs via Ceph's CLI requires that at least one mon be available for the configs to be set, and setting configs via dashboard requires at least one mgr to be available. Ceph also has a number of very advanced settings that cannot be modified easily via the CLI or dashboard. In order to set configurations before monitors are available or to set advanced configuration settings, the rook-config-override ConfigMap exists, and the config field can be set with the contents of a ceph.conf file. The contents will be propagated to all mon, mgr, OSD, MDS, and RGW daemons as an /etc/ceph/ceph.conf file.
 
Warning
 
Rook performs no validation on the config, so the  validity of the settings is the user's responsibility.
 
If the rook-config-override ConfigMap is created before the cluster is started, the Ceph daemons will automatically pick up the settings. If you add the settings to the ConfigMap after the cluster has been initialized, each daemon will need to be restarted where you want the settings applied:
 
     
  • mons: ensure all three mons are online and healthy before restarting each mon pod, one at a time.
    •  
  • mgrs: the pods are stateless and can be restarted as needed, but note that this will disrupt the     Ceph dashboard during restart.
    •  
  • OSDs: restart your the pods by deleting them, one at a time, and running ceph -s between each restart to ensure the cluster goes back to \"active/clean\" state.
    •  
  • RGW: the pods are stateless and can be restarted as needed.
    •  
  • MDS: the pods are stateless and can be restarted as needed.
    •  
 
After the pod restart, the new settings should be in effect. Note that if the ConfigMap in the Ceph cluster's namespace is created before the cluster is created, the daemons will pick up the settings at first launch.
 
To automate the restart of the Ceph daemon pods, you will need to trigger an update to the pod specs. The simplest way to trigger the update is to add annotations or labels to the CephCluster CR for the daemons you want to restart. The operator will then proceed with a rolling update, similar to any other update to the cluster.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/ceph-configuration/#example","title":"Example","text":"
In this example we will set the default pool size to two, and tell OSD daemons not to change the weight of OSDs on startup.
 
Warning
 
Modify Ceph settings carefully. You are leaving the sandbox tested by Rook. Changing the settings could result in unhealthy daemons or even data loss if used incorrectly.
 
When the Rook Operator creates a cluster, a placeholder ConfigMap is created that will allow you to override Ceph configuration settings. When the daemon pods are started, the settings specified in this ConfigMap will be merged with the default settings generated by Rook.
 
The default override settings are blank. Cutting out the extraneous properties, we would see the following defaults after creating a cluster:

kubectl -n rook-ceph edit configmap rook-config-override\n
 
Modify the settings and save. Each line you add should be indented from the config property as such:
 
apiVersion: v1\nkind: ConfigMap\nmetadata:\n  name: rook-config-override\n  namespace: rook-ceph\ndata:\n  config: |\n    [global]\n    osd crush update on start = false\n    osd pool default size = 2\n

If the csi-ceph-conf-override ConfigMap is created before the cluster is started, the CephCSI pods will automatically pick up the settings.

The CRUSH weight controls the ratio of data that should be distributed to each OSD.  This also means a higher or lower amount of disk I/O operations for an OSD with higher/lower weight, respectively.
 
By default OSDs get a weight relative to their storage capacity, which maximizes overall cluster capacity by filling all drives at the same rate, even if drive sizes vary.  This should work for most use-cases, but the following situations could warrant weight changes:
 
     
  • Your cluster has some relatively slow OSDs or nodes. Lowering their weight can     reduce the impact of this bottleneck.
    •  
  • You're using bluestore drives provisioned with Rook v0.3.1 or older.  In this     case you may notice OSD weights did not get set relative to their storage     capacity.  Changing the weight can fix this and maximize cluster capacity.

Tip
 
This documentation is left for historical purposes. It is still valid, but Rook offers native support for this feature via the CephCluster network configuration.
 
It is possible to configure ceph to leverage a dedicated network for the OSDs to communicate across. A useful overview is the Ceph Networks section of the Ceph documentation. If you declare a cluster network, OSDs will route heartbeat, object replication, and recovery traffic over the cluster network. This may improve performance compared to using a single network, especially when slower network technologies are used. The tradeoff is additional expense and subtle failure modes.
 
Two changes are necessary to the configuration to enable this capability:

After applying the updated rook-config-override configmap, it will be necessary to restart the OSDs by deleting the OSD pods in order to apply the change.

Failure in a distributed system is to be expected. Ceph was designed from the ground up to deal with the failures of a distributed system. At the next layer, Rook was designed from the ground up to automate recovery of Ceph components that traditionally required admin intervention. Monitor health is the most critical piece of the equation that Rook actively monitors. If they are not in a good state, the operator will take action to restore their health and keep your cluster protected from disaster.
 
The Ceph monitors (mons) are the brains of the distributed cluster. They control all of the metadata that is necessary to store and retrieve your data as well as keep it safe. If the monitors are not in a healthy state you will risk losing all the data in your system.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/ceph-mon-health/#monitor-identity","title":"Monitor Identity","text":"
Each monitor in a Ceph cluster has a static identity. Every component in the cluster is aware of the identity, and that identity must be immutable. The identity of a mon is its IP address.
 
To have an immutable IP address in Kubernetes, Rook creates a K8s service for each monitor. The clusterIP of the service will act as the stable identity.
 
When a monitor pod starts, it will bind to its podIP and it will expect communication to be via its service IP address.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/ceph-mon-health/#monitor-quorum","title":"Monitor Quorum","text":"
Multiple mons work together to provide redundancy by each keeping a copy of the metadata. A variation of the distributed algorithm Paxos is used to establish consensus about the state of the cluster. Paxos requires a super-majority of mons to be running in order to establish quorum and perform operations in the cluster. If the majority of mons are not running, quorum is lost and nothing can be done in the cluster.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/ceph-mon-health/#how-many-mons","title":"How many mons?","text":"
Most commonly a cluster will have three mons. This would mean that one mon could go down and allow the cluster to remain healthy. You would still have 2/3 mons running to give you consensus in the cluster for any operation.
 
For highest availability, an odd number of mons is required. Fifty percent of mons will not be sufficient to maintain quorum. If you had two mons and one of them went down, you would have 1/2 of quorum. Since that is not a super-majority, the cluster would have to wait until the second mon is up again. Rook allows an even number of mons for higher durability. See the disaster recovery guide if quorum is lost and to recover mon quorum from a single mon.
 
The number of mons to create in a cluster depends on your tolerance for losing a node. If you have 1 mon zero nodes can be lost to maintain quorum. With 3 mons one node can be lost, and with 5 mons two nodes can be lost. Because the Rook operator will automatically start a new monitor if one dies, you typically only need three mons. The more mons you have, the more overhead there will be to make a change to the cluster, which could become a performance issue in a large cluster.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/ceph-mon-health/#mitigating-monitor-failure","title":"Mitigating Monitor Failure","text":"
Whatever the reason that a mon may fail (power failure, software crash, software hang, etc), there are several layers of mitigation in place to help recover the mon. It is always better to bring an existing mon back up than to failover to bring up a new mon.
 
The Rook operator creates a mon with a Deployment to ensure that the mon pod will always be restarted if it fails. If a mon pod stops for any reason, Kubernetes will automatically start the pod up again.
 
In order for a mon to support a pod/node restart, the mon metadata is persisted to disk, either under the dataDirHostPath specified in the CephCluster CR, or in the volume defined by the volumeClaimTemplate in the CephCluster CR. This will allow the mon to start back up with its existing metadata and continue where it left off even if the pod had to be re-created. Without this persistence, the mon cannot restart.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Advanced/ceph-mon-health/#failing-over-a-monitor","title":"Failing over a Monitor","text":"
If a mon is unhealthy and the K8s pod restart or liveness probe are not sufficient to bring a mon back up, the operator will make the decision to terminate the unhealthy monitor deployment and bring up a new monitor with a new identity. This is an operation that must be done while mon quorum is maintained by other mons in the cluster.
 
The operator checks for mon health every 45 seconds. If a monitor is down, the operator will wait 10 minutes before failing over the unhealthy mon. These two intervals can be configured as parameters to the CephCluster CR (see below). If the intervals are too short, it could be unhealthy if the mons are failed over too aggressively. If the intervals are too long, the cluster could be at risk of losing quorum if a new monitor is not brought up before another mon fails.
 
healthCheck:\n  daemonHealth:\n    mon:\n      disabled: false\n      interval: 45s\n      timeout: 10m\n
 
If you want to force a mon to failover for testing or other purposes, you can scale down the mon deployment to 0, then wait for the timeout. Note that the operator may scale up the mon again automatically if the operator is restarted or if a full reconcile is triggered, such as when the CephCluster CR is updated.
 
If the mon pod is in pending state and couldn't be assigned to a node (say, due to node drain), then the operator will wait for the timeout again before the mon failover. So the timeout waiting for the mon failover will be doubled in this case.

Appropriate values depend on the number of OSDs the user expects to have backing each pool. These can be configured by declaring pg_num and pgp_num parameters under CephBlockPool resource.
 
For determining the right value for pg_num please refer placement group sizing
 
In this example configuration, 128 PGs are applied to the pool:
 
apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1\nkind: CephBlockPool\nmetadata:\n  name: ceph-block-pool-test\n  namespace: rook-ceph\nspec:\n  deviceClass: hdd\n  replicated:\n    size: 3\nspec:\n  parameters:\n    pg_num: '128' # create the pool with a pre-configured placement group number\n    pgp_num: '128' # this should at least match `pg_num` so that all PGs are used\n
 
Ceph OSD and Pool config docs provide detailed information about how to tune these parameters.
 
Nautilus introduced the PG auto-scaler mgr module capable of automatically managing PG and PGP values for pools. Please see Ceph New in Nautilus: PG merging and autotuning for more information about this module.

In order for the rbd-mirror daemon to discover its peer cluster, the peer must be registered and a user account must be created.
 
The following steps enable bootstrapping peers to discover and authenticate to each other:
 
     
  • For Bootstrapping a peer cluster its bootstrap secret is required. To determine the name of the secret that contains the bootstrap secret execute the following command on the remote cluster (cluster-2)
    •  
 
[cluster-2]$ kubectl get cephblockpool.ceph.rook.io/mirrored-pool -n rook-ceph -ojsonpath='{.status.info.rbdMirrorBootstrapPeerSecretName}'\n
 
Here, pool-peer-token-mirrored-pool is the desired bootstrap secret name.

Ceph-CSI supports encrypting PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs) for both RBD and CephFS. This can be achieved using LUKS for RBD and fscrypt for CephFS. More details on encrypting RBD PVCs can be found here, which includes a full list of supported encryption configurations. More details on encrypting CephFS PVCs can be found here. A sample KMS configmap can be found here.
 
Note
 
Not all KMS are compatible with fscrypt. Generally, KMS that either store secrets to use directly (like Vault) or allow access to the plain password (like Kubernetes Secrets) are compatible.
 
Note
 
Rook also supports OSD-level encryption (see encryptedDevice option here).
 
Using both RBD PVC encryption and OSD encryption at the same time will lead to double encryption and may reduce read/write performance.
 
Existing Ceph clusters can also enable Ceph-CSI PVC encryption support and multiple kinds of encryption KMS can be used on the same Ceph cluster using different storageclasses.
 
The following steps demonstrate the common process for enabling encryption support for both RBD and CephFS:

apiVersion: v1\nkind: Secret\nmetadata:\n  name: storage-encryption-secret\n  namespace: rook-ceph\nstringData:\n  encryptionPassphrase: test-encryption\n
 
     
  • Create a new RBD storageclass or CephFS storageclass with additional parameters encrypted: \"true\" and encryptionKMSID: \"<key used in configmap>\". An example is shown below:
    •  
 
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1\nkind: StorageClass\nmetadata:\n  name: rook-ceph-block-encrypted\nparameters:\n  # additional parameters required for encryption\n  encrypted: \"true\"\n  encryptionKMSID: \"user-secret-metadata\"\n# ...\n
 
     
  • PVCs created using the new storageclass will be encrypted.
    •  
 
Note
 
CephFS encryption requires fscrypt support in Linux kernel, kernel version 6.6 or higher.

Ceph CSI supports mapping RBD volumes with KRBD options and mounting CephFS volumes with ceph mount options to allow serving reads from an OSD closest to the client, according to OSD locations defined in the CRUSH map and topology labels on nodes.
 
Refer to the krbd-options document for more details.
 
Execute the following step to enable read affinity for a specific ceph cluster:
 
     
  • Patch the ceph cluster CR to enable read affinity:
    •  
 
kubectl patch cephclusters.ceph.rook.io <cluster-name> -n rook-ceph -p '{\"spec\":{\"csi\":{\"readAffinity\":{\"enabled\": true}}}}'\n
 
  csi:\n    readAffinity:\n      enabled: true\n
 
     
  • Add topology labels to the Kubernetes nodes. The same labels may be used as mentioned in the OSD topology topic.
    •  
 
Ceph CSI will extract the CRUSH location from the topology labels found on the node and pass it though krbd options during mapping RBD volumes.
 
Note
 
This requires Linux kernel version 5.8 or higher.

Each Rook Ceph cluster has some built in metrics collectors/exporters for monitoring with Prometheus.
 
If you do not have Prometheus running, follow the steps below to enable monitoring of Rook. If your cluster already contains a Prometheus instance, it will automatically discover Rook's scrape endpoint using the standard prometheus.io/scrape and prometheus.io/port annotations.
 
Attention
 
This assumes that the Prometheus instances is searching all your Kubernetes namespaces for Pods with these annotations. If prometheus is already installed in a cluster, it may not be configured to watch for third-party service monitors such as for Rook. Normally you should be able to add the prometheus annotations prometheus.io/scrape=true and prometheus.io/port={port} and prometheus would automatically configure the scrape points and start gathering metrics. If prometheus isn't configured to do this, see the prometheus operator docs.

apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1\nkind: StorageClass\nmetadata:\n  name: rook-nfs\nprovisioner: rook-ceph.nfs.csi.ceph.com # [1]\nparameters:\n  nfsCluster: my-nfs # [2]\n  server: rook-ceph-nfs-my-nfs-a # [3]\n  clusterID: rook-ceph # [4]\n  fsName: myfs # [5]\n  pool: myfs-replicated # [6]\n\n  # [7] (entire csi.storage.k8s.io/* section immediately below)\n  csi.storage.k8s.io/provisioner-secret-name: rook-csi-cephfs-provisioner\n  csi.storage.k8s.io/provisioner-secret-namespace: rook-ceph\n  csi.storage.k8s.io/controller-expand-secret-name: rook-csi-cephfs-provisioner\n  csi.storage.k8s.io/controller-expand-secret-namespace: rook-ceph\n  csi.storage.k8s.io/node-stage-secret-name: rook-csi-cephfs-node\n  csi.storage.k8s.io/node-stage-secret-namespace: rook-ceph\n\n# ... some fields omitted ...\n
 
     
  1. provisioner: rook-ceph.nfs.csi.ceph.com because rook-ceph is the namespace where the     CephCluster is installed
    2.  
  2. nfsCluster: my-nfs because this is the name of the CephNFS
    3.  
  3. server: rook-ceph-nfs-my-nfs-a because Rook creates this Kubernetes Service for the CephNFS     named my-nfs
    4.  
  4. clusterID: rook-ceph because this is the namespace where the CephCluster is installed
    5.  
  5. fsName: myfs because this is the name of the CephFilesystem used to back the NFS exports
    6.  
  6. pool: myfs-replicated because myfs is the name of the CephFilesystem defined in     fsName and because replicated is the name of a data pool defined in the CephFilesystem
    7.  
  7. csi.storage.k8s.io/*: note that these values are shared with the Ceph CSI CephFS provisioner

For consuming NFS services and exports external to the Kubernetes cluster (including those backed by an external standalone Ceph cluster), Rook recommends using Kubernetes regular NFS consumption model. This requires the Ceph admin to create the needed export, while reducing the privileges needed in the client cluster for the NFS volume.
 
Export and get the nfs client to a particular cephFS filesystem:
 
ceph nfs export create cephfs <nfs-client-name> /test <filesystem-name>\nceph nfs export get <service> <export-name>\n

Rook provides security for CephNFS server clusters through two high-level features: user ID mapping and user authentication.
 
Attention
 
All features in this document are experimental and may not support upgrades to future versions.

Some configurations of these features may break the ability to mount NFS storage to pods via PVCs. The NFS CSI driver may not be able to mount exports for pods when ID mapping is configured.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/NFS/nfs-security/#user-id-mapping","title":"User ID mapping","text":"
User ID mapping allows the NFS server to map connected NFS client IDs to a different user domain, allowing NFS clients to be associated with a particular user in your organization. For example, users stored in LDAP can be associated with NFS users and vice versa.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/NFS/nfs-security/#id-mapping-via-sssd","title":"ID mapping via SSSD","text":"
SSSD is the System Security Services Daemon. It can be used to provide user ID mapping from a  number of sources including LDAP, Active Directory, and FreeIPA. Currently, only LDAP has been tested.
 
Attention
 
The Ceph container image must have the sssd-client package installed to support SSSD. This package is included in quay.io/ceph/ceph in v17.2.4 and newer. For older Ceph versions you may build your own Ceph image which adds RUN yum install sssd-client && yum clean all.

SSSD requires a configuration file in order to configure its connection to the user ID mapping system (e.g., LDAP). The file follows the sssd.conf format documented in its man pages.
 
Methods of providing the configuration file are documented in the NFS CRD security section.
 
Recommendations:
 
     
  • The SSSD sidecar only requires the namespace switch (a.k.a. \"nsswitch\" or \"nss\"). We recommend     enabling only the nss service to lower CPU usage.
    •  
  • NFS-Ganesha does not require user enumeration. We recommend leaving this option unset or setting     enumerate = false to speed up lookups and reduce RAM usage.
    •  
  • NFS exports created via documented methods do not require listing all members of groups. We     recommend setting ignore_group_members = true to speed up LDAP lookups. Only customized exports     that set manage_gids need to consider this option.
    •  
 
A sample sssd.conf file is shown below.
 
[sssd]\n# Only the nss service is required for the SSSD sidecar.\nservices = nss\ndomains = default\nconfig_file_version = 2\n\n[nss]\nfilter_users = root\n\n[domain/default]\nid_provider = ldap\nldap_uri = ldap://server-address.example.net\nldap_search_base = dc=example,dc=net\nldap_default_bind_dn = cn=admin,dc=example,dc=net\nldap_default_authtok_type = password\nldap_default_authtok = my-password\nldap_user_search_base = ou=users,dc=example,dc=net\nldap_group_search_base = ou=groups,dc=example,dc=net\nldap_access_filter = memberOf=cn=rook,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=net\n# recommended options for speeding up LDAP lookups:\nenumerate = false\nignore_group_members = true\n
 
The SSSD configuration file may be omitted from the CephNFS spec if desired. In this case, Rook will not set /etc/sssd/sssd.conf in any way. This allows you to manage the sssd.conf file yourself however you wish. For example, you may build it into your custom Ceph container image, or use the Vault agent injector to securely add the file via annotations on the CephNFS spec (passed to the NFS server pods).

Kerberos authentication requires configuration files in order for the NFS-Ganesha server to authenticate to the Kerberos server (KDC). The requirements are two-parted:
 
     
  1. one or more kerberos configuration files that configures the connection to the Kerberos server.     This file follows the krb5.conf format documented in its     man pages.

Methods of providing the configuration files are documented in the NFS CRD security section.
 
Recommendations:
 
     
  • Rook configures Kerberos to log to stderr. We suggest removing logging sections from config files     to avoid consuming unnecessary disk space from logging to files.
    •  
 
A sample Kerberos config file is shown below.

The Kerberos config files (configFiles) may be omitted from the Ceph NFS spec if desired. In this case, Rook will not add any config files to /etc/krb5.conf.rook/, but it will still configure Kerberos to load any config files it finds there. This allows you to manage these files yourself however you wish.
 
Similarly, the keytab file (keytabFile) may be  omitted from the CephNFS spec if  desired. In this case, Rook will not set /etc/krb5.keytab in any way. This allows you to manage the krb5.keytab file yourself however you wish.

"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/NFS/nfs-security/#nfs-service-principals","title":"NFS service principals","text":"
The Kerberos service principal used by Rook's CephNFS servers to authenticate with the Kerberos server is built up from 3 components:
 
     
  1. the configured from spec.security.kerberos.principalName that acts as the service name
    2.  
  2. the hostname of the server on which NFS-Ganesha is running which is in turn built up from the     namespace and name of the CephNFS resource, joined by a hyphen. e.g., rooknamespace-nfsname
    3.  
  3. the realm as configured by the kerberos config file(s) from spec.security.kerberos.configFiles
    4.  
 
The full service principal name is constructed as <principalName>/<namespace>-<name>@<realm>. For ease of scaling up or down CephNFS clusters, this principal is used for all servers in the CephNFS cluster.
 
Users must add this service principal to their Kerberos server configuration.
 
Example
 
For a CephNFS named \"fileshare\" in the \"business-unit\" Kubernetes namespace that has a principalName of \"sales-apac\" and where the Kerberos realm is \"EXAMPLE.NET\", the full principal name will be sales-apac/business-unit-fileshare@EXAMPLE.NET.
 
Advanced
 
spec.security.kerberos.principalName corresponds directly to NFS-Ganesha's NFS_KRB5:PrincipalName config. See the NFS-Ganesha wiki for more details.

The kerberos domain name is used to setup the domain name in /etc/idmapd.conf. This domain name is used by idmap to map the kerberos credential to the user uid/gid. Without this configured, NFS-Ganesha will be unable to map the Kerberos principal to an uid/gid and will instead use the configured anonuid/anongid (default: -2) when accessing the local filesystem.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/NFS/nfs/","title":"NFS Storage Overview","text":"
NFS storage can be mounted with read/write permission from multiple pods. NFS storage may be especially useful for leveraging an existing Rook cluster to provide NFS storage for legacy applications that assume an NFS client connection. Such applications may not have been migrated to Kubernetes or might not yet support PVCs. Rook NFS storage can provide access to the same network filesystem storage from within the Kubernetes cluster via PVC while simultaneously providing access via direct client connection from within or outside of the Kubernetes cluster.
 
Warning
 
Simultaneous access to NFS storage from Pods and from external clients complicates NFS user ID mapping significantly. Client IDs mapped from external clients will not be the same as the IDs associated with the NFS CSI driver, which mount exports for Kubernetes pods.
 
Warning
 
Due to a number of Ceph issues and changes, Rook officially only supports Ceph v16.2.7 or higher for CephNFS. If you are using an earlier version, upgrade your Ceph version following the advice given in Rook's v1.9 NFS docs.
 
Note

Ceph's NFS CLI can create NFS exports that are backed by CephFS (a CephFilesystem) or Ceph Object Gateway (a CephObjectStore). cluster_id or cluster-name in the Ceph NFS docs normally refers to the name of the NFS cluster, which is the CephNFS name in the Rook context.
 
For creating an NFS export for the CephNFS and CephFilesystem example manifests, the below command can be used. This creates an export for the /test pseudo path.
 
ceph nfs export create cephfs my-nfs /test myfs\n
 
The below command will list the current NFS exports for the example CephNFS cluster, which will give the output shown for the current example.
 
$ ceph nfs export ls my-nfs\n[\n  \"/test\"\n]\n
 
The simple /test export's info can be listed as well. Notice from the example that only NFS protocol v4 via TCP is supported.
 
$ ceph nfs export info my-nfs /test\n{\n  \"export_id\": 1,\n  \"path\": \"/\",\n  \"cluster_id\": \"my-nfs\",\n  \"pseudo\": \"/test\",\n  \"access_type\": \"RW\",\n  \"squash\": \"none\",\n  \"security_label\": true,\n  \"protocols\": [\n    4\n  ],\n  \"transports\": [\n    \"TCP\"\n  ],\n  \"fsal\": {\n    \"name\": \"CEPH\",\n    \"user_id\": \"nfs.my-nfs.1\",\n    \"fs_name\": \"myfs\"\n  },\n  \"clients\": []\n}\n

Rook supports the creation of new buckets and access to existing buckets via two custom resources:
 
     
  • an Object Bucket Claim (OBC) is custom resource which requests a bucket (new or existing) and is described by a Custom Resource Definition (CRD) shown below.
    •  
  • an Object Bucket (OB) is a custom resource automatically generated when a bucket is provisioned. It is a global resource, typically not visible to non-admin users, and contains information specific to the bucket. It is described by an OB CRD, also shown below.
    •  
 
An OBC references a storage class which is created by an administrator. The storage class defines whether the bucket requested is a new bucket or an existing bucket. It also defines the bucket retention policy. Users request a new or existing bucket by creating an OBC which is shown below. The ceph provisioner detects the OBC and creates a new bucket or grants access to an existing bucket, depending the storage class referenced in the OBC. It also generates a Secret which provides credentials to access the bucket, and a ConfigMap which contains the bucket's endpoint. Application pods consume the information in the Secret and ConfigMap to access the bucket. Please note that to make provisioner watch the cluster namespace only you need to set ROOK_OBC_WATCH_OPERATOR_NAMESPACE to true in the operator manifest, otherwise it watches all namespaces.
 
The OBC provisioner name found in the storage class by default includes the operator namespace as a prefix. A custom prefix can be applied by the operator setting in the rook-ceph-operator-config configmap: ROOK_OBC_PROVISIONER_NAME_PREFIX.
 
Note
 
Changing the prefix is not supported on existing clusters. This may impact the function of existing OBCs.

Rook supports the creation of bucket notifications via two custom resources:
 
     
  • a CephBucketNotification is a custom resource the defines: topic, events and filters of a bucket notification, and is described by a Custom Resource Definition (CRD) shown below. Bucket notifications are associated with a bucket by setting labels on the Object Bucket claim (OBC). See the Ceph documentation for detailed information: Bucket Notifications - Ceph Object Gateway - Ceph Documentation.
    •  
  • a CephBucketTopic is custom resource which represents a bucket notification topic and is described by a CRD shown below. A bucket notification topic represents an endpoint (or a \"topic\" inside this endpoint) to which bucket notifications could be sent.

"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Object-Storage-RGW/ceph-object-bucket-notifications/#notifications","title":"Notifications","text":"
A CephBucketNotification defines what bucket actions trigger the notification and which topic to send notifications to. A CephBucketNotification may also define a filter, based on the object's name and other object attributes. Notifications can be associated with buckets created via ObjectBucketClaims by adding labels to an ObjectBucketClaim with the following format:
 
bucket-notification-<notification name>: <notification name>\n
 
The CephBucketTopic, CephBucketNotification and ObjectBucketClaim must all belong to the same namespace. If a bucket was created manually (not via an ObjectBucketClaim), notifications on this bucket should also be created manually. However, topics in these notifications may reference topics that were created via CephBucketTopic resources.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Object-Storage-RGW/ceph-object-bucket-notifications/#topics","title":"Topics","text":"
A CephBucketTopic represents an endpoint (of types: Kafka, AMQP0.9.1 or HTTP), or a specific resource inside this endpoint (e.g a Kafka or an AMQP topic, or a specific URI in an HTTP server). The CephBucketTopic also holds any additional info needed for a CephObjectStore's RADOS Gateways (RGW) to connect to the endpoint. Topics don't belong to a specific bucket or notification. Notifications from multiple buckets may be sent to the same topic, and one bucket (via multiple CephBucketNotifications) may send notifications to multiple topics.

Notifications may be sent synchronously, as part of the operation that triggered them. In this mode, the operation is acknowledged only after the notification is sent to the topic\u2019s configured endpoint, which means that the round trip time of the notification is added to the latency of the operation itself. The original triggering operation will still be considered as successful even if the notification fail with an error, cannot be delivered or times out.
 
Notifications may also be sent asynchronously. They will be committed into persistent storage and then asynchronously sent to the topic\u2019s configured endpoint. In this case, the only latency added to the original operation is of committing the notification to persistent storage. If the notification fail with an error, cannot be delivered or times out, it will be retried until successfully acknowledged.

Multisite is a feature of Ceph that allows object stores to replicate their data over multiple Ceph clusters.
 
Multisite also allows object stores to be independent and isolated from other object stores in a cluster.
 
When a ceph-object-store is created without the zone section; a realm, zone group, and zone is created with the same name as the ceph-object-store.
 
Since it is the only ceph-object-store in the realm, the data in the ceph-object-store remain independent and isolated from others on the same cluster.
 
When a ceph-object-store is created with the zone section, the ceph-object-store will join a custom created zone, zone group, and realm each with a different names than its own.
 
This allows the ceph-object-store to replicate its data over multiple Ceph clusters.

If an admin wants to sync data from another cluster, the admin needs to pull a realm on a Rook Ceph cluster from another Rook Ceph (or Ceph) cluster.
 
To begin doing this, the admin needs 2 pieces of information:
 
     
  1. An endpoint from the realm being pulled from
    2.  
  2. The access key and the system key of the system user from the realm being pulled from.

To pull a Ceph realm from a remote Ceph cluster, an endpoint must be added to the CephObjectRealm's pull section in the spec. This endpoint must be from the master zone in the master zone group of that realm.
 
If an admin does not know of an endpoint that fits this criteria, the admin can find such an endpoint on the remote Ceph cluster (via the tool box if it is a Rook Ceph Cluster) by running:
 
$ radosgw-admin zonegroup get --rgw-realm=$REALM_NAME --rgw-zonegroup=$MASTER_ZONEGROUP_NAME\n{\n    ...\n    \"endpoints\": [http://10.17.159.77:80],\n    ...\n}\n
 
A list of endpoints in the master zone group in the master zone is in the endpoints section of the JSON output of the zonegoup get command.
 
This endpoint must also be resolvable from the new Rook Ceph cluster. To test this run the curl command on the endpoint:

The two types of gateways can be deployed by creating two CephObjectStores associated with the same CephObjectZone. The objectstore that deploys the gateway dedicated to the synchronization must have spec.gateway.instances set to 1, while the objectstore that deploys the client gateways have multiple replicas and should disable the synchronization thread on the gateways by setting spec.gateway.disableMultisiteSyncTraffic to true.

For example, to create multisite CRs for an object store named my-store:

When using Keystone as an authentication provider, Ceph uses the credentials of an admin user (provided in the secret references by serviceUserSecretName) to access Keystone.

Based on the name and other parameters ((OpenStack Keystone) project, (OpenStack Keystone) role) Keystone allows or disallows access to a swift container or object.

Additional object stores can be created based on the same shared pools by simply changing the name of the CephObjectStore. In the example manifests folder, two object store examples are provided: object-a.yaml and object-b.yaml.
 
To consume the object store, continue below in the section to Create a bucket. Modify the default example object store name from my-store to the alternate name of the object store such as store-a in this example.

Attention
 
This feature is experimental.
 
This section contains a guide on how to configure RGW's pool placement and storage classes with Rook.
 
Object Storage API allows users to override where bucket data will be stored during bucket creation. With <LocationConstraint> parameter in S3 API and X-Storage-Policy header in SWIFT. Similarly, users can override where object data will be stored by setting X-Amz-Storage-Class and X-Object-Storage-Class during object creation.
 
To enable this feature, configure poolPlacements representing a list of possible bucket data locations. Each poolPlacement must have:
 
     
  • a unique name to refer to it in <LocationConstraint> or X-Storage-Policy. Name default-placement is reserved and can be used only if placement also marked as default.
    •  
  • optional default flag to use given placement by default, meaning that it will be used if no location constraint is provided. Only one placement in the list can be marked as default.
    •  
  • dataPoolName and metadataPoolName representing object data and metadata locations. In Rook, these data locations are backed by CephBlockPool. poolPlacements and storageClasses specs refer pools by name. This means that all pools should be defined in advance. Similarly to sharedPools, the same pool can be reused across multiple ObjectStores and/or poolPlacements/storageClasses because of RADOS namespaces. Here, each pool will be namespaced with <object store name>.<placement name>.<pool type> key.
    •  
  • optional dataNonECPoolName - extra pool for data that cannot use erasure coding (ex: multi-part uploads). If not set, metadataPoolName will be used.
    •  
  • optional list of placement storageClasses. Classes defined per placement, which means that even classes of default placement will be available only within this placement and not others. Each placement will automatically have default storage class named STANDARD. STANDARD class always points to placement dataPoolName and cannot be removed or redefined. Each storage class must have:
       
    • name (unique within placement). RGW allows arbitrary name for StorageClasses, however some clients/libs insist on AWS names so it is recommended to use one of the valid x-amz-storage-class values for better compatibility: STANDARD | REDUCED_REDUNDANCY | STANDARD_IA | ONEZONE_IA | INTELLIGENT_TIERING | GLACIER | DEEP_ARCHIVE | OUTPOSTS | GLACIER_IR | SNOW | EXPRESS_ONEZONE. See AWS docs.
      •  
    • dataPoolName - overrides placement data pool when this class is selected by user.
      •  
     
    •  
 
Example: Configure CephObjectStore with default placement us pools and placement europe pointing to pools in corresponding geographies. These geographical locations are only an example. Placement name can be arbitrary and could reflect the backing pool's replication factor, device class, or failure domain. This example also  defines storage class REDUCED_REDUNDANCY for each placement.

S3 clients can direct objects into the pools defined in the above. The example below uses the s5cmd CLI tool which is pre-installed in the toolbox pod:

Rook can connect to existing RGW gateways to work in conjunction with the external mode of the CephCluster CRD. First, create a rgw-admin-ops-user user in the Ceph cluster with the necessary caps:
 
radosgw-admin user create --uid=rgw-admin-ops-user --display-name=\"RGW Admin Ops User\" --caps=\"buckets=*;users=*;usage=read;metadata=read;zone=read\" --rgw-realm=<realm-name> --rgw-zonegroup=<zonegroup-name> --rgw-zone=<zone-name>\n
 
The rgw-admin-ops-user user is required by the Rook operator to manage buckets and users via the admin ops and s3 api. The multisite configuration needs to be specified only if the admin sets up multisite for RGW.
 
Then create a secret with the user credentials:
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph create secret generic --type=\"kubernetes.io/rook\" rgw-admin-ops-user --from-literal=accessKey=<access key of the user> --from-literal=secretKey=<secret key of the user>\n
 
For an external CephCluster, configure Rook to consume external RGW servers with the following:
 
apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1\nkind: CephObjectStore\nmetadata:\n  name: external-store\n  namespace: rook-ceph\nspec:\n  gateway:\n    port: 8080\n    externalRgwEndpoints:\n      - ip: 192.168.39.182\n        # hostname: example.com\n
 
See object-external.yaml for a more detailed example.
 
Even though multiple externalRgwEndpoints can be specified, it is best to use a single endpoint. Only the first endpoint in the list will be advertised to any consuming resources like CephObjectStoreUsers, ObjectBucketClaims, or COSI resources. If there are multiple external RGW endpoints, add load balancer in front of them, then use the single load balancer endpoint in the externalRgwEndpoints list.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Object-Storage-RGW/object-storage/#object-store-endpoint","title":"Object store endpoint","text":"
The CephObjectStore resource status.info contains endpoint (and secureEndpoint) fields, which report the endpoint that can be used to access the object store as a client. This endpoint is also advertised as the default endpoint for CephObjectStoreUsers, ObjectBucketClaims, and Container Object Store Interface (COSI) resources.
 
Each object store also creates a Kubernetes service that can be used as a client endpoint from within the Kubernetes cluster. The DNS name of the service is rook-ceph-rgw-<objectStoreName>.<objectStoreNamespace>.svc. This service DNS name is the default endpoint (and secureEndpoint).
 
For external clusters, the default endpoint is the first spec.gateway.externalRgwEndpoint instead of the service DNS name.
 
The advertised endpoint can be overridden using advertiseEndpoint in the spec.hosting config.
 
Rook always uses the advertised endpoint to perform management operations against the object store. When TLS is enabled, the TLS certificate must always specify the endpoint DNS name to allow secure management operations.

Info
 
This document is a guide for creating bucket with an Object Bucket Claim (OBC). To create a bucket with the experimental COSI Driver, see the COSI documentation.
 
Now that the object store is configured, next we need to create a bucket where a client can read and write objects. A bucket can be created by defining a storage class, similar to the pattern used by block and file storage. First, define the storage class that will allow object clients to create a bucket. The storage class defines the object storage system, the bucket retention policy, and other properties required by the administrator. Save the following as storageclass-bucket-delete.yaml (the example is named as such due to the Delete reclaim policy).
 
apiVersion: storage.k8s.io/v1\nkind: StorageClass\nmetadata:\n   name: rook-ceph-bucket\n# Change \"rook-ceph\" provisioner prefix to match the operator namespace if needed\nprovisioner: rook-ceph.ceph.rook.io/bucket\nreclaimPolicy: Delete\nparameters:\n  objectStoreName: my-store\n  objectStoreNamespace: rook-ceph\n
 
If you\u2019ve deployed the Rook operator in a namespace other than rook-ceph, change the prefix in the provisioner to match the namespace you used. For example, if the Rook operator is running in the namespace my-namespace the provisioner value should be my-namespace.ceph.rook.io/bucket.
 
kubectl create -f storageclass-bucket-delete.yaml\n
 
Based on this storage class, an object client can now request a bucket by creating an Object Bucket Claim (OBC). When the OBC is created, the Rook bucket provisioner will create a new bucket. Notice that the OBC references the storage class that was created above. Save the following as object-bucket-claim-delete.yaml (the example is named as such due to the Delete reclaim policy):
 
apiVersion: objectbucket.io/v1alpha1\nkind: ObjectBucketClaim\nmetadata:\n  name: ceph-bucket\nspec:\n  generateBucketName: ceph-bkt\n  storageClassName: rook-ceph-bucket\n
 
kubectl create -f object-bucket-claim-delete.yaml\n
 
Now that the claim is created, the operator will create the bucket as well as generate other artifacts to enable access to the bucket. A secret and ConfigMap are created with the same name as the OBC and in the same namespace. The secret contains credentials used by the application pod to access the bucket. The ConfigMap contains bucket endpoint information and is also consumed by the pod. See the Object Bucket Claim Documentation for more details on the CephObjectBucketClaims.

Rook sets up the object storage so pods will have access internal to the cluster. If your applications are running outside the cluster, you will need to setup an external service through a NodePort.
 
First, note the service that exposes RGW internal to the cluster. We will leave this service intact and create a new service for external access.
 
$ kubectl -n rook-ceph get service rook-ceph-rgw-my-store\nNAME                     CLUSTER-IP   EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)     AGE\nrook-ceph-rgw-my-store   10.3.0.177   <none>        80/TCP      2m\n
 
Save the external service as rgw-external.yaml:
 
apiVersion: v1\nkind: Service\nmetadata:\n  name: rook-ceph-rgw-my-store-external\n  namespace: rook-ceph\n  labels:\n    app: rook-ceph-rgw\n    rook_cluster: rook-ceph\n    rook_object_store: my-store\nspec:\n  ports:\n  - name: rgw\n    port: 80\n    protocol: TCP\n    targetPort: 80\n  selector:\n    app: rook-ceph-rgw\n    rook_cluster: rook-ceph\n    rook_object_store: my-store\n  sessionAffinity: None\n  type: NodePort\n
 
Now create the external service.
 
kubectl create -f rgw-external.yaml\n
 
See both rgw services running and notice what port the external service is running on:
 
$ kubectl -n rook-ceph get service rook-ceph-rgw-my-store rook-ceph-rgw-my-store-external\nNAME                              TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)        AGE\nrook-ceph-rgw-my-store            ClusterIP   10.104.82.228    <none>        80/TCP         4m\nrook-ceph-rgw-my-store-external   NodePort    10.111.113.237   <none>        80:31536/TCP   39s\n
 
Internally the rgw service is running on port 80. The external port in this case is 31536. Now you can access the CephObjectStore from anywhere! All you need is the hostname for any machine in the cluster, the external port, and the user credentials.

"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Object-Storage-RGW/object-storage/#enable-tls","title":"Enable TLS","text":"
TLS is critical for securing object storage data access, and it is assumed as a default by many S3 clients. TLS is enabled for CephObjectStores by configuring gateway options. Set securePort, and give Rook access to a TLS certificate using sslCertificateRef. caBundleRef may be necessary as well to give the deployed gateway (RGW) access to the TLS certificate's CA signing bundle.
 
Ceph RGW only supports a single TLS certificate. If the given TLS certificate is a concatenation of multiple certificates, only the first certificate will be used by the RGW as the server certificate. Therefore, the TLS certificate given must include all endpoints that clients will use for access as subject alternate names (SANs).
 
The CephObjectStore service endpoint must be added as a SAN on the TLS certificate. If it is not possible to add the service DNS name as a SAN on the TLS certificate, set hosting.advertiseEndpoint to a TLS-approved endpoint to help ensure Rook and clients use secure data access.
 
Note
 
OpenShift users can use add service.beta.openshift.io/serving-cert-secret-name as a service annotation instead of using sslCertificateRef.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Object-Storage-RGW/object-storage/#virtual-host-style-bucket-access","title":"Virtual host-style Bucket Access","text":"
The Ceph Object Gateway supports accessing buckets using virtual host-style addressing, which allows addressing buckets using the bucket name as a subdomain in the endpoint.
 
AWS has deprecated the the alternative path-style addressing mode which is Rook and Ceph's default. As a result, many end-user applications have begun to remove path-style support entirely. Many production clusters will have to enable virtual host-style address.
 
Virtual host-style addressing requires 2 things:
 
     
  1. An endpoint that supports wildcard addressing
    2.  
  2. CephObjectStore hosting configuration.
    3.  
 
Wildcard addressing can be configured in myriad ways. Some options:
 
     
  • Kubernetes ingress loadbalancer
    •  
  • Openshift DNS operator
    •  
 
The minimum recommended hosting configuration is exemplified below. It is important to ensure that Rook advertises the wildcard-addressable endpoint as a priority over the default. TLS is also recommended for security, and the configured TLS certificate should specify the advertise endpoint.
 
spec:\n  ...\n  hosting:\n    advertiseEndpoint:\n      dnsName: my.wildcard.addressable.endpoint.com\n      port: 443\n      useTls: true\n
 
A more complex hosting configuration is exemplified below. In this example, two wildcard-addressable endpoints are available. One is a wildcard-addressable ingress service that is accessible to clients outside of the Kubernetes cluster (s3.ingress.domain.com). The other is a wildcard-addressable Kubernetes cluster service (s3.rook-ceph.svc). The cluster service is the preferred advertise endpoint because the internal service avoids the possibility of the ingress service's router being a bottleneck for S3 client operations.
 
spec:\n  ...\n  hosting:\n    advertiseEndpoint:\n      dnsName: s3.rook-ceph.svc\n      port: 443\n      useTls: true\n  dnsNames:\n    - s3.ingress.domain.com\n

A filesystem storage (also named shared filesystem) can be mounted with read/write permission from multiple pods. This may be useful for applications which can be clustered using a shared filesystem.
 
This example runs a shared filesystem for the kube-registry.

This guide assumes you have created a Rook cluster as explained in the main quickstart guide
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Shared-Filesystem-CephFS/filesystem-storage/#create-the-filesystem","title":"Create the Filesystem","text":"
Create the filesystem by specifying the desired settings for the metadata pool, data pools, and metadata server in the CephFilesystem CRD. In this example we create the metadata pool with replication of three and a single data pool with replication of three. For more options, see the documentation on creating shared filesystems.
 
Save this shared filesystem definition as filesystem.yaml:
 
apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1\nkind: CephFilesystem\nmetadata:\n  name: myfs\n  namespace: rook-ceph\nspec:\n  metadataPool:\n    replicated:\n      size: 3\n  dataPools:\n    - name: replicated\n      replicated:\n        size: 3\n  preserveFilesystemOnDelete: true\n  metadataServer:\n    activeCount: 1\n    activeStandby: true\n
 
The Rook operator will create all the pools and other resources necessary to start the service. This may take a minute to complete.
 
# Create the filesystem\nkubectl create -f filesystem.yaml\n[...]\n
 
To confirm the filesystem is configured, wait for the mds pods to start:
 
$ kubectl -n rook-ceph get pod -l app=rook-ceph-mds\nNAME                                      READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE\nrook-ceph-mds-myfs-7d59fdfcf4-h8kw9       1/1       Running   0          12s\nrook-ceph-mds-myfs-7d59fdfcf4-kgkjp       1/1       Running   0          12s\n
 
To see detailed status of the filesystem, start and connect to the Rook toolbox. A new line will be shown with ceph status for the mds service. In this example, there is one active instance of MDS which is up, with one MDS instance in standby-replay mode in case of failover.

Before Rook can start provisioning storage, a StorageClass needs to be created based on the filesystem. This is needed for Kubernetes to interoperate with the CSI driver to create persistent volumes.
 
Save this storage class definition as storageclass.yaml:

If you've deployed the Rook operator in a namespace other than \"rook-ceph\" as is common change the prefix in the provisioner to match the namespace you used. For example, if the Rook operator is running in \"rook-op\" the provisioner value should be \"rook-op.rbd.csi.ceph.com\".

Attention
 
The CephFS CSI driver uses quotas to enforce the PVC size requested.
 
Only newer kernels support CephFS quotas (kernel version of at least 4.17). If you require quotas to be enforced and the kernel driver does not support it, you can disable the kernel driver and use the FUSE client. This can be done by setting CSI_FORCE_CEPHFS_KERNEL_CLIENT: false in the operator deployment (operator.yaml). However, it is important to know that when the FUSE client is enabled, there is an issue that during upgrade the application pods will be disconnected from the mount and will need to be restarted. See the upgrade guide for more details.

A PVC that you create using the rook-cephfs storageClass can be shared between different Pods simultaneously, either read-write or read-only, but is restricted to a single namespace (a PVC is a namespace-scoped resource, so you cannot use it in another one).
 
However there are some use cases where you want to share the content from a CephFS-based PVC among different Pods in different namespaces, for a shared library for example, or a collaboration workspace between applications running in different namespaces.
 
You can do that using the following recipe.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Shared-Filesystem-CephFS/filesystem-storage/#shared-volume-creation","title":"Shared volume creation","text":"
     
  • In the rook namespace, create a copy of the secret rook-csi-cephfs-node, name it rook-csi-cephfs-node-user .
    •  
  • Edit your new secret, changing the name of the keys (keep the value as it is):
       
    • adminID -> userID
      •  
    • adminKey -> userKey
      •  
     
    •  
  • Create the PVC you want to share, for example:
    •  
 
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim\napiVersion: v1\nmetadata:\n  name: base-pvc\n  namespace: first-namespace\nspec:\n  accessModes:\n    - ReadWriteMany\n  resources:\n    requests:\n      storage: 100Gi\n  storageClassName: rook-cephfs\n  volumeMode: Filesystem\n
 
     
  • The corresponding PV that is created will have all the necessary info to connect to the CephFS volume (all non-necessary information are removed here):

  •  
    On this PV, change the persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy parameter to Retain to avoid it from being deleted when you will delete PVCs. Don't forget to change it back to Delete when you want to remove the shared volume (see full procedure in the next section).
     
    •  
  •  
    Copy the YAML content of the PV, and create a new static PV with the same information and some modifications. From the original YAML, you must:
     
       
    • Modify the original name. To keep track, the best solution is to append to the original name the namespace name where you want your new PV. In this example newnamespace.
      •  
    • Modify the volumeHandle. Again append the targeted namespace.
      •  
    • Add the staticVolume: \"true\" entry to the volumeAttributes.
      •  
    • Add the rootPath entry to the volumeAttributes, with the same content as subvolumePath.
      •  
    • In the nodeStageSecretRef section, change the name to point to the secret you created earlier, rook-csi-cephfs-node-user.
      •  
    • Remove the unnecessary information before applying the YAML (claimRef, managedFields,...):
      •  
     
    •  
 
Your YAML should look like this:

  • In a new or other namespace, create a new PVC that will use this new PV you created. You simply have to point to it in the volumeName parameter. Make sure you enter the same size as the original PVC!:
    •  
 
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim\napiVersion: v1\nmetadata:\n  name: second-pvc\n  namespace: newnamespace\n  finalizers:\n    - kubernetes.io/pvc-protection\nspec:\n  accessModes:\n    - ReadWriteMany\n  resources:\n    requests:\n      storage: 100Gi\n  volumeName: pvc-a02dd277-cb26-4c1e-9434-478ebc321e22-newnamespace\n  storageClassName: rook-cephfs\n  volumeMode: Filesystem\n
 
You have now access to the same CephFS subvolume from different PVCs in different namespaces. Redo the previous steps (copy PV with a new name, create a PVC pointing to it) in each namespace you want to use this subvolume.
 
Note: the new PVCs/PVs we have created are static. Therefore CephCSI does not support snapshots, clones, resizing or delete operations for them. If those operations are required, you must make them on the original PVC.
"},{"location":"Storage-Configuration/Shared-Filesystem-CephFS/filesystem-storage/#shared-volume-removal","title":"Shared volume removal","text":"
As the same CephFS volume is used by different PVCs/PVs, you must proceed very orderly to remove it properly.

  • Delete the corresponding static PVs that should now have been marked as \"Released\". Again, don't delete the original one yet!
    •  
  • Edit the original PV, changing back the persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy from Retain to Delete.

Until this issue is solved, either on the Rook or Kubelet side, you can always manually unmount the unwanted hanging global mounts on the nodes:

Many of these problem cases are hard to summarize down to a short phrase that adequately describes the problem. Each problem will start with a bulleted list of symptoms. Keep in mind that all symptoms may not apply depending on the configuration of Rook. If the majority of the symptoms are seen there is a fair chance you are experiencing that problem.
 
If after trying the suggestions found on this page and the problem is not resolved, the Rook team is very happy to help you troubleshoot the issues in their Slack channel. Once you have registered for the Rook Slack, proceed to the #ceph channel to ask for assistance.

There are two main categories of information you will need to investigate issues in the cluster:
 
     
  1. Kubernetes status and logs documented here
    2.  
  2. Ceph cluster status (see upcoming Ceph tools section)
    3.  
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-common-issues/#ceph-tools","title":"Ceph Tools","text":"
After you verify the basic health of the running pods, next you will want to run Ceph tools for status of the storage components. There are two ways to run the Ceph tools, either in the Rook toolbox or inside other Rook pods that are already running.
 
     
  • Logs on a specific node to find why a PVC is failing to mount
    •  
  • See the log collection topic for a script that will help you gather the logs
    •  
  • Other artifacts:
       
    • The monitors that are expected to be in quorum: kubectl -n <cluster-namespace> get configmap rook-ceph-mon-endpoints -o yaml | grep data

"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-common-issues/#tools-in-the-rook-toolbox","title":"Tools in the Rook Toolbox","text":"
The rook-ceph-tools pod provides a simple environment to run Ceph tools. Once the pod is up and running, connect to the pod to execute Ceph commands to evaluate that current state of the cluster.
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph exec -it $(kubectl -n rook-ceph get pod -l \"app=rook-ceph-tools\" -o jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.name}') bash\n
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-common-issues/#ceph-commands","title":"Ceph Commands","text":"
Here are some common commands to troubleshoot a Ceph cluster:
 
     
  • ceph status
    •  
  • ceph osd status
    •  
  • ceph osd df
    •  
  • ceph osd utilization
    •  
  • ceph osd pool stats
    •  
  • ceph osd tree
    •  
  • ceph pg stat
    •  
 
The first two status commands provide the overall cluster health. The normal state for cluster operations is HEALTH_OK, but will still function when the state is in a HEALTH_WARN state. If you are in a WARN state, then the cluster is in a condition that it may enter the HEALTH_ERROR state at which point all disk I/O operations are halted. If a HEALTH_WARN state is observed, then one should take action to prevent the cluster from halting when it enters the HEALTH_ERROR state.
 
There are many Ceph sub-commands to look at and manipulate Ceph objects, well beyond the scope this document. See the Ceph documentation for more details of gathering information about the health of the cluster. In addition, there are other helpful hints and some best practices located in the Advanced Configuration section. Of particular note, there are scripts for collecting logs and gathering OSD information there.

What is happening here is that the MON pods are restarting and one or more of the Ceph daemons are not getting configured with the proper cluster information. This is commonly the result of not specifying a value for dataDirHostPath in your Cluster CRD.
 
The dataDirHostPath setting specifies a path on the local host for the Ceph daemons to store configuration and data. Setting this to a path like /var/lib/rook, reapplying your Cluster CRD and restarting all the Ceph daemons (MON, MGR, OSD, RGW) should solve this problem. After the Ceph daemons have been restarted, it is advisable to restart the rook-tools pod.

When the operator is starting a cluster, the operator will start one mon at a time and check that they are healthy before continuing to bring up all three mons. If the first mon is not detected healthy, the operator will continue to check until it is healthy. If the first mon fails to start, a second and then a third mon may attempt to start. However, they will never form quorum and the orchestration will be blocked from proceeding.
 
The crash-collector pods will be blocked from starting until the mons have formed quorum the first time.
 
There are several common causes for the mons failing to form quorum:
 
     
  • The operator pod does not have network connectivity to the mon pod(s). The network may be configured incorrectly.
    •  
  • One or more mon pods are in running state, but the operator log shows they are not able to form quorum
    •  
  • A mon is using configuration from a previous installation. See the cleanup guide     for cleaning the previous cluster.
    •  
  • A firewall may be blocking the ports required for the Ceph mons to form quorum. Ensure ports 6789 and 3300 are enabled.     See the Ceph networking guide for more details.
    •  
  • There may be MTU mismatch between different networking components. Some networks may be more     susceptible to mismatch than others. If Kubernetes CNI or hosts enable jumbo frames (MTU 9000),     Ceph will use large packets to maximize network bandwidth. If other parts of the networking chain     don't support jumbo frames, this could result in lost or rejected packets unexpectedly.
    •  
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-common-issues/#operator-fails-to-connect-to-the-mon","title":"Operator fails to connect to the mon","text":"
First look at the logs of the operator to confirm if it is able to connect to the mons.
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph logs -l app=rook-ceph-operator\n
 
Likely you will see an error similar to the following that the operator is timing out when connecting to the mon. The last command is ceph mon_status, followed by a timeout message five minutes later.

The error would appear to be an authentication error, but it is misleading. The real issue is a timeout.
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-common-issues/#solution_1","title":"Solution","text":"
If you see the timeout in the operator log, verify if the mon pod is running (see the next section). If the mon pod is running, check the network connectivity between the operator pod and the mon pod. A common issue is that the CNI is not configured correctly.
 
To verify the network connectivity:
 
     
  • Get the endpoint for a mon
    •  
  • Curl the mon from the operator pod
    •  
 
For example, this command will curl the first mon from the operator:
 
$ kubectl -n rook-ceph exec deploy/rook-ceph-operator -- curl $(kubectl -n rook-ceph get svc -l app=rook-ceph-mon -o jsonpath='{.items[0].spec.clusterIP}'):3300 2>/dev/null\nceph v2\n
 
If \"ceph v2\" is printed to the console, the connection was successful. If the command does not respond or otherwise fails, the network connection cannot be established.

Second we need to verify if the mon pod started successfully.

If the mon pod is failing as in this example, you will need to look at the mon pod status or logs to determine the cause. If the pod is in a crash loop backoff state, you should see the reason by describing the pod.
 
# The pod shows a termination status that the keyring does not match the existing keyring\n$ kubectl -n rook-ceph describe pod -l mon=rook-ceph-mon0\n...\n    Last State:    Terminated\n      Reason:    Error\n      Message:    The keyring does not match the existing keyring in /var/lib/rook/rook-ceph-mon0/data/keyring.\n                    You may need to delete the contents of dataDirHostPath on the host from a previous deployment.\n...\n

This is a common problem reinitializing the Rook cluster when the local directory used for persistence has not been purged. This directory is the dataDirHostPath setting in the cluster CRD and is typically set to /var/lib/rook. To fix the issue you will need to delete all components of Rook and then delete the contents of /var/lib/rook (or the directory specified by dataDirHostPath) on each of the hosts in the cluster. Then when the cluster CRD is applied to start a new cluster, the rook-operator should start all the pods as expected.
 
Caution
 
Deleting the dataDirHostPath folder is destructive to the storage. Only delete the folder if you are trying to permanently purge the Rook cluster.

To confirm if you have OSDs in your cluster, connect to the Rook Toolbox and run the ceph status command. You should see that you have at least one OSD up and in. The minimum number of OSDs required depends on the replicated.size setting in the pool created for the storage class. In a \"test\" cluster, only one OSD is required (see storageclass-test.yaml). In the production storage class example (storageclass.yaml), three OSDs would be required.

If the \"osd prepare\" logs didn't give you enough clues about why the OSDs were not being created, please review your cluster.yaml configuration. The common misconfigurations include:

    •  
  • If useAllDevices: false, OSDs will only be created if deviceFilter is specified.
    •  
  • Only local devices attached to the nodes will be configurable by Rook. In other words, the devices must show up under /dev.

One common case for failure is that you have re-deployed a test cluster and some state may remain from a previous deployment. If your cluster is larger than a few nodes, you may get lucky enough that the monitors were able to start and form quorum. However, now the OSDs pods may fail to start due to the old state.

First, ensure that you have specified the devices correctly in the CRD. The Cluster CRD has several ways to specify the devices that are to be consumed by the Rook storage:
 
     
  • useAllDevices: true: Rook will consume all devices it determines to be available
    •  
  • deviceFilter: Consume all devices that match this regular expression
    •  
  • devices: Explicit list of device names on each node to consume
    •  
 
Second, if Rook determines that a device is not available (has existing partitions or a formatted filesystem), Rook will skip consuming the devices. If Rook is not starting OSDs on the devices you expect, Rook may have skipped it for this reason. To see if a device was skipped, view the OSD preparation log on the node where the device was skipped. Note that it is completely normal and expected for OSD prepare pod to be in the completed state. After the job is complete, Rook leaves the pod around in case the logs need to be investigated.

They are cases where looking at Kubernetes logs is not enough for diverse reasons, but just to name a few:
 
     
  • not everyone is familiar for Kubernetes logging and expects to find logs in traditional directories
    •  
  • logs get eaten (buffer limit from the log engine) and thus not requestable from Kubernetes
    •  
 
So for each daemon, dataDirHostPath is used to store logs, if logging is activated. Rook will bindmount dataDirHostPath for every pod. Let's say you want to enable logging for mon.a, but only for this daemon. Using the toolbox or from inside the operator run:
 
ceph config set mon.a log_to_file true\n
 
This will activate logging on the filesystem, you will be able to find logs in dataDirHostPath/$NAMESPACE/log, so typically this would mean /var/lib/rook/rook-ceph/log. You don't need to restart the pod, the effect will be immediate.
 
To disable the logging on file, simply set log_to_file to false.

There is a critical flaw in OSD on LV-backed PVC. LVM metadata can be corrupted if both the host and OSD container modify it simultaneously. For example, the administrator might modify it on the host, while the OSD initialization process in a container could modify it too. In addition, if lvmetad is running, the possibility of occurrence gets higher. In this case, the change of LVM metadata in OSD container is not reflected to LVM metadata cache in host for a while.
 
If you still decide to configure an OSD on LVM, please keep the following in mind to reduce the probability of this issue.
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-common-issues/#solution_10","title":"Solution","text":"
     
  • Disable lvmetad.
    •  
  • Avoid configuration of LVs from the host. In addition, don't touch the VGs and physical volumes that back these LVs.
    •  
  • Avoid incrementing the count field of storageClassDeviceSets and create a new LV that backs an OSD simultaneously.
    •  
 
You can know whether the above-mentioned tag exists with the command: sudo lvs -o lv_name,lv_tags. If the lv_tag field is empty in an LV corresponding to the OSD lv_tags, this OSD encountered the problem. In this case, please retire this OSD or replace with other new OSD before restarting.
 
This problem doesn't happen in newly created LV-backed PVCs because OSD container doesn't modify LVM metadata anymore. The existing lvm mode OSDs work continuously even thought upgrade your Rook. However, using the raw mode OSDs is recommended because of the above-mentioned problem. You can replace the existing OSDs with raw mode OSDs by retiring them and adding new OSDs one by one.

Users running Rook versions v1.6.0-v1.6.7 may observe unwanted OSDs on partitions that appear unexpectedly and seemingly randomly, which can corrupt existing OSDs.
 
Unexpected partitions are created on host disks that are used by Ceph OSDs. This happens more often on SSDs than HDDs and usually only on disks that are 875GB or larger. Many tools like lsblk, blkid, udevadm, and parted will not show a partition table type for the partition. Newer versions of blkid are generally able to recognize the type as \"atari\".
 
The underlying issue causing this is Atari partition (sometimes identified as AHDI) support in the Linux kernel. Atari partitions have very relaxed specifications compared to other partition types, and it is relatively easy for random data written to a disk to appear as an Atari partition to the Linux kernel. Ceph's Bluestore OSDs have an anecdotally high probability of writing data on to disks that can appear to the kernel as an Atari partition.
 
Below is an example of lsblk output from a node where phantom Atari partitions are present. Note that sdX1 is never present for the phantom partitions, and sdX2 is 48G on all disks. sdX3 is a variable size and may not always be present. It is possible for sdX4 to appear, though it is an anecdotally rare event.

If you are using Rook v1.6, you must first update to v1.6.8 or higher to avoid further incidents of OSD corruption caused by these Atari partitions.
 
An old workaround suggested using deviceFilter: ^sd[a-z]+$, but this still results in unexpected partitions. Rook will merely stop creating new OSDs on the partitions. It does not fix a related issue that ceph-volume that is unaware of the Atari partition problem. Users who used this workaround are still at risk for OSD failures in the future.
 
To resolve the issue, immediately update to v1.6.8 or higher. After the update, no corruption should occur on OSDs created in the future. Next, to get back to a healthy Ceph cluster state, focus on one corrupted disk at a time and remove all OSDs on each corrupted disk one disk at a time.
 
As an example, you may have /dev/sdb with two unexpected partitions (/dev/sdb2 and /dev/sdb3) as well as a second corrupted disk /dev/sde with one unexpected partition (/dev/sde2).
 
     
  1. First, remove the OSDs associated with /dev/sdb, /dev/sdb2, and /dev/sdb3. There might be     only one, or up to 3 OSDs depending on how your system was affected. Again see the     OSD management doc.
    2.  
  2. Use dd to wipe the first sectors of the partitions followed by the disk itself. E.g.,
       
    • dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb2 bs=1M
      •  
    • dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb3 bs=1M
      •  
    • dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
      •  
     
    3.  
  3. Then wipe clean /dev/sdb to prepare it for a new OSD.     See the teardown document for details.
    4.  
  4. After this, scale up the Rook operator to deploy a new OSD to /dev/sdb. This will allow Ceph to     use /dev/sdb for data recovery and replication while the next OSDs are removed.
    5.  
  5. Now Repeat steps 1-4 for /dev/sde and /dev/sde2, and continue for any other corrupted disks.
    6.  
 
If your Rook cluster does not have any critical data stored in it, it may be simpler to uninstall Rook completely and redeploy with v1.6.8 or higher.

If host networking is enabled in the CephCluster CR, you will instead need to find the node IPs for the hosts where the mons are running.
 
The clusterIP is the mon IP and 3300 is the port that will be used by Ceph-CSI to connect to the ceph cluster. These endpoints must be accessible by all clients in the cluster, including the CSI driver.
 
If you are seeing issues provisioning the PVC then you need to check the network connectivity from the provisioner pods.
 
     
  • For CephFS PVCs, check network connectivity from the csi-cephfsplugin container of the csi-cephfsplugin-provisioner pods
    •  
  • For Block PVCs, check network connectivity from the csi-rbdplugin container of the csi-rbdplugin-provisioner pods
    •  
 
For redundancy, there are two provisioner pods for each type. Make sure to test connectivity from all provisioner pods.
 
Connect to the provisioner pods and verify the connection to the mon endpoints such as the following:

The CephFS provisioner core CSI driver container name is csi-cephfsplugin as one of the container names. For the RBD (Block) provisioner you will see csi-rbdplugin as the container name.
 
Here is a summary of the sidecar containers:
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-csi-common-issues/#csi-provisioner","title":"csi-provisioner","text":"
The external-provisioner is a sidecar container that dynamically provisions volumes by calling ControllerCreateVolume() and ControllerDeleteVolume() functions of CSI drivers. More details about external-provisioner can be found here.
 
If there is an issue with PVC Create or Delete, check the logs of the csi-provisioner sidecar container.
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph logs deploy/csi-rbdplugin-provisioner -c csi-provisioner\n
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-csi-common-issues/#csi-resizer","title":"csi-resizer","text":"
The CSI external-resizer is a sidecar container that watches the Kubernetes API server for PersistentVolumeClaim updates and triggers ControllerExpandVolume operations against a CSI endpoint if the user requested more storage on the PersistentVolumeClaim object. More details about external-provisioner can be found here.
 
If any issue exists in PVC expansion you can check the logs of the csi-resizer sidecar container.
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph logs deploy/csi-rbdplugin-provisioner -c csi-resizer\n
"},{"location":"Troubleshooting/ceph-csi-common-issues/#csi-snapshotter","title":"csi-snapshotter","text":"
The CSI external-snapshotter sidecar only watches for VolumeSnapshotContent create/update/delete events. It will talk to ceph-csi containers to create or delete snapshots. More details about external-snapshotter can be found here.
 
In Kubernetes 1.17 the volume snapshot feature was promoted to beta. In Kubernetes 1.20, the feature gate is enabled by default on standard Kubernetes deployments and cannot be turned off.
 
Make sure you have installed the correct snapshotter CRD version. If you have not installed the snapshotter controller, see the Snapshots guide.
 
$ kubectl get crd | grep snapshot\nvolumesnapshotclasses.snapshot.storage.k8s.io    2021-01-25T11:19:38Z\nvolumesnapshotcontents.snapshot.storage.k8s.io   2021-01-25T11:19:39Z\nvolumesnapshots.snapshot.storage.k8s.io          2021-01-25T11:19:40Z\n
 
The above CRDs must have the matching version in your snapshotclass.yaml or snapshot.yaml. Otherwise, the VolumeSnapshot and VolumesnapshotContent will not be created.
 
The snapshot controller is responsible for creating both VolumeSnapshot and VolumesnapshotContent object. If the objects are not getting created, you may need to check the logs of the snapshot-controller container.
 
Rook only installs the snapshotter sidecar container, not the controller. It is recommended that Kubernetes distributors bundle and deploy the controller and CRDs as part of their Kubernetes cluster management process (independent of any CSI Driver).
 
If your Kubernetes distribution does not bundle the snapshot controller, you may manually install these components.
 
If any issue exists in the snapshot Create/Delete operation you can check the logs of the csi-snapshotter sidecar container.
 
kubectl -n rook-ceph logs deploy/csi-rbdplugin-provisioner -c csi-snapshotter\n
 
If you see an error about a volume already existing such as:
 
GRPC error: rpc error: code = Aborted desc = an operation with the given Volume ID\n0001-0009-rook-ceph-0000000000000001-8d0ba728-0e17-11eb-a680-ce6eecc894de already exists.\n

When the Rook CRDs are deleted, the Rook operator will respond to the deletion event to attempt to clean up the cluster resources. If any data appears present in the cluster, Rook will refuse to allow the resources to be deleted since the operator will refuse to remove the finalizer on the CRs until the underlying data is deleted. For more details, see the dependency design doc.
 
While it is good that the CRs will not be deleted and the underlying Ceph data and daemons continue to be available, the CRs will be stuck indefinitely in a Deleting state in which the operator will not continue to ensure cluster health. Upgrades will be blocked, further updates to the CRs are prevented, and so on. Since Kubernetes does not allow undeleting resources, the following procedure will allow you to restore the CRs to their prior state without even necessarily suffering cluster downtime.

Also, save other Rook CRs that are in terminating state.\nkubectl -n rook-ceph get cephcluster rook-ceph -o yaml > cluster.yaml\n\n# Backup critical secrets and configmaps in case something goes wrong later in the procedure\nkubectl -n rook-ceph get secret -o yaml > secrets.yaml\nkubectl -n rook-ceph get configmap -o yaml > configmaps.yaml\n
     
    3.  
  3.  
    Remove the owner references from all critical Rook resources that were referencing the CephCluster CR.
     
       
    1.  
      Programmatically determine all such resources, using this command:
       
      # Determine the `CephCluster` UID\nROOK_UID=$(kubectl -n rook-ceph get cephcluster rook-ceph -o 'jsonpath={.metadata.uid}')\n# List all secrets, configmaps, services, deployments, and PVCs with that ownership UID.\nRESOURCES=$(kubectl -n rook-ceph get secret,configmap,service,deployment,pvc -o jsonpath='{range .items[?(@.metadata.ownerReferences[*].uid==\"'\"$ROOK_UID\"'\")]}{.kind}{\"/\"}{.metadata.name}{\"\\n\"}{end}')\n# Show the collected resources.\nkubectl -n rook-ceph get $RESOURCES\n
       
      2.  
    2.  
      Verify that all critical resources are shown in the output. The critical resources are these:
       
         
      • Secrets: rook-ceph-admin-keyring, rook-ceph-config, rook-ceph-mon, rook-ceph-mons-keyring
        •  
      • ConfigMap: rook-ceph-mon-endpoints
        •  
      • Services: rook-ceph-mon-*, rook-ceph-mgr-*
        •  
      • Deployments: rook-ceph-mon-*, rook-ceph-osd-*, rook-ceph-mgr-*
        •  
      • PVCs (if applicable): rook-ceph-mon-* and the OSD PVCs (named <deviceset>-*, for example set1-data-*)
        •  
       
      3.  
    3.  
      For each listed resource, remove the ownerReferences metadata field, in order to unlink it from the deleting CephCluster     CR.
       
      To do so programmatically, use the command:
       
      for resource in $(kubectl -n rook-ceph get $RESOURCES -o name); do\n  kubectl -n rook-ceph patch $resource -p '{\"metadata\": {\"ownerReferences\":null}}'\ndone\n
       
      For a manual alternative, issue kubectl edit on each resource, and remove the block matching:
       
      ownerReferences:\n- apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1\n   blockOwnerDeletion: true\n   controller: true\n   kind: `CephCluster`\n   name: rook-ceph\n   uid: <uid>\n
       
      4.  
     
    4.  
  4.  
    Before completing this step, validate these things. Failing to do so could result in data loss.
     
       
    1. Confirm that cluster.yaml contains the CephCluster CR.
      2.  
    2. Confirm all critical resources listed above have had the ownerReference to the CephCluster CR removed.
      3.  
     
    Remove the finalizer from the CephCluster resource. This will cause the resource to be immediately deleted by Kubernetes.
     
    kubectl -n rook-ceph patch cephcluster/rook-ceph --type json --patch='[ { \"op\": \"remove\", \"path\": \"/metadata/finalizers\" } ]'\n
     
    After the finalizer is removed, the CephCluster will be immediately deleted. If all owner references were properly removed, all ceph daemons will continue running and there will be no downtime.
     
    5.  
  5.  
    Create the CephCluster CR with the same settings as previously
     
    # Use the same cluster settings as exported in step 2.\nkubectl create -f cluster.yaml\n
     
    6.  
  6.  
    If there are other CRs in terminating state such as CephBlockPools, CephObjectStores, or CephFilesystems,     follow the above steps as well for those CRs:
     
       
    1. Backup the CR
      2.  
    2. Remove the finalizer and confirm the CR is deleted (the underlying Ceph resources will be preserved)
      3.  
    3. Create the CR again
      4.  
     
    7.  
  7.  
    Scale up the operator
     
    kubectl -n rook-ceph scale --replicas=1 deploy/rook-ceph-operator\n
     
    8.  
  8.  
    Watch the operator log to confirm that the reconcile completes successfully.
     
    kubectl -n rook-ceph logs -f deployment/rook-ceph-operator\n

Assuming dataHostPathData is /var/lib/rook, and the CephCluster trying to adopt is named rook-ceph.
 
     
  1. Make sure the old Kubernetes cluster is completely torn down and the new Kubernetes cluster is up and running without Rook Ceph.
    2.  
  2. Backup /var/lib/rook in all the Rook Ceph nodes to a different directory. Backups will be used later.
    3.  
  3. Pick a /var/lib/rook/rook-ceph/rook-ceph.config from any previous Rook Ceph node and save the old cluster fsid from its content.
    4.  
  4. Remove /var/lib/rook from all the Rook Ceph nodes.
    5.  
  5. Add identical CephCluster descriptor to the new Kubernetes cluster, especially identical spec.storage.config and spec.storage.nodes, except mon.count, which should be set to 1.
    6.  
  6. Add identical CephFilesystem CephBlockPool CephNFS CephObjectStore descriptors (if any) to the new Kubernetes cluster.
    7.  
  7. Install Rook Ceph in the new Kubernetes cluster.
    8.  
  8. Watch the operator logs with kubectl -n rook-ceph logs -f rook-ceph-operator-xxxxxxx, and wait until the orchestration has settled.
    9.  
  9. STATE: Now the cluster will have rook-ceph-mon-a, rook-ceph-mgr-a, and all the auxiliary pods up and running, and zero (hopefully) rook-ceph-osd-ID-xxxxxx running. ceph -s output should report 1 mon, 1 mgr running, and all of the OSDs down, all PGs are in unknown state. Rook should not start any OSD daemon since all devices belongs to the old cluster (which have a different fsid).

    Re-enable authentication by running kubectl -n rook-ceph edit cm/rook-config-override and removing auth configuration added in previous steps.
     
    22.  
  22. Stop the Rook operator by running kubectl -n rook-ceph edit deploy/rook-ceph-operator and set replicas to 0.
    23.  
  23. Shut down entire new cluster by running kubectl -n rook-ceph delete deploy/X where X is every deployment in namespace rook-ceph, except rook-ceph-operator and rook-ceph-tools, again. This time OSD daemons are present and should be removed too.
    24.  
  24. Bring the Rook Ceph operator back online by running kubectl -n rook-ceph edit deploy/rook-ceph-operator and set replicas to 1.
    25.

It is possible to migrate/restore an rook/ceph cluster from an existing Kubernetes cluster to a new one without resorting to SSH access or ceph tooling. This allows doing the migration using standard kubernetes resources only. This guide assumes the following:
 
     
  1. You have a CephCluster that uses PVCs to persist mon and osd data. Let's call it the \"old cluster\"
    2.  
  2. You can restore the PVCs as-is in the new cluster. Usually this is done by taking regular snapshots of the PVC volumes and using a tool that can re-create PVCs from these snapshots in the underlying cloud provider. Velero is one such tool.
    3.  
  3. You have regular backups of the secrets and configmaps in the rook-ceph namespace. Velero provides this functionality too.
    4.  
 
Do the following in the new cluster:
 
     
  1. Stop the rook operator by scaling the deployment rook-ceph-operator down to zero: kubectl -n rook-ceph scale deployment rook-ceph-operator --replicas 0 and deleting the other deployments. An example command to do this is k -n rook-ceph delete deployment -l operator!=rook
    2.  
  2. Restore the rook PVCs to the new cluster.
    3.  
  3. Copy the keyring and fsid secrets from the old cluster: rook-ceph-mgr-a-keyring, rook-ceph-mon, rook-ceph-mons-keyring, rook-ceph-osd-0-keyring, ...
    4.  
  4. Delete mon services and copy them from the old cluster: rook-ceph-mon-a, rook-ceph-mon-b, ... Note that simply re-applying won't work because the goal here is to restore the clusterIP in each service and this field is immutable in Service resources.
    5.  
  5. Copy the endpoints configmap from the old cluster: rook-ceph-mon-endpoints
    6.  
  6. Scale the rook operator up again : kubectl -n rook-ceph scale deployment rook-ceph-operator --replicas 1
    7.

When the rook-ceph namespace is accidentally deleted, the good news is that the cluster can be restored. With the content in the directory dataDirHostPath and the original OSD disks, the ceph cluster could be restored with this guide.
 
You need to manually create a ConfigMap and a Secret to make it work. The information required for the ConfigMap and Secret can be found in the dataDirHostPath directory.
 
The first resource is the secret named rook-ceph-mon as seen in this example below:
 
apiVersion: v1\ndata:\n\u00a0 ceph-secret: QVFCZ0h6VmorcVNhSGhBQXVtVktNcjcrczNOWW9Oa2psYkErS0E9PQ==\n\u00a0 ceph-username: Y2xpZW50LmFkbWlu\n\u00a0 fsid: M2YyNzE4NDEtNjE4OC00N2MxLWIzZmQtOTBmZDRmOTc4Yzc2\n\u00a0 mon-secret: QVFCZ0h6VmorcVNhSGhBQXVtVktNcjcrczNOWW9Oa2psYkErS0E9PQ==\nkind: Secret\nmetadata:\n\u00a0 finalizers:\n\u00a0 - ceph.rook.io/disaster-protection\n\u00a0 name: rook-ceph-mon\n\u00a0 namespace: rook-ceph\n\u00a0 ownerReferences: null\ntype: kubernetes.io/rook\n
 
The values for the secret can be found in $dataDirHostPath/rook-ceph/client.admin.keyring and $dataDirHostPath/rook-ceph/rook-ceph.config.
 
     
  • ceph-secret and mon-secret are to be filled with the client.admin's keyring contents.
    •  
  • ceph-username: set to the string client.admin
    •  
  • fsid: set to the original ceph cluster id.
    •  
 
All the fields in data section need to be encoded in base64. Coding could be done like this:
 
echo -n \"string to code\" | base64 -i -\n
 
Now save the secret as rook-ceph-mon.yaml, to be created later in the restore.
 
The second resource is the configmap named rook-ceph-mon-endpoints as seen in this example below:
 
apiVersion: v1\ndata:\n\u00a0 csi-cluster-config-json: '[{\"clusterID\":\"rook-ceph\",\"monitors\":[\"169.169.241.153:6789\",\"169.169.82.57:6789\",\"169.169.7.81:6789\"],\"namespace\":\"\"}]'\n\u00a0 data: k=169.169.241.153:6789,m=169.169.82.57:6789,o=169.169.7.81:6789\n\u00a0 mapping: '{\"node\":{\"k\":{\"Name\":\"10.138.55.111\",\"Hostname\":\"10.138.55.111\",\"Address\":\"10.138.55.111\"},\"m\":{\"Name\":\"10.138.55.120\",\"Hostname\":\"10.138.55.120\",\"Address\":\"10.138.55.120\"},\"o\":{\"Name\":\"10.138.55.112\",\"Hostname\":\"10.138.55.112\",\"Address\":\"10.138.55.112\"}}}'\n\u00a0 maxMonId: \"15\"\nkind: ConfigMap\nmetadata:\n\u00a0 finalizers:\n\u00a0 - ceph.rook.io/disaster-protection\n\u00a0 name: rook-ceph-mon-endpoints\n\u00a0 namespace: rook-ceph\n\u00a0 ownerReferences: null\n
 
The Monitor's service IPs are kept in the monitor data store and you need to create them by original ones. After you create this configmap with the original service IPs, the rook operator will create the correct services for you with IPs matching in the monitor data store. Along with monitor ids, their service IPs and mapping relationship of them can be found in dataDirHostPath/rook-ceph/rook-ceph.config, for example:
 
[global]\nfsid\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 = 3f271841-6188-47c1-b3fd-90fd4f978c76\nmon initial members = m o k\nmon host\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 = [v2:169.169.82.57:3300,v1:169.169.82.57:6789],[v2:169.169.7.81:3300,v1:169.169.7.81:6789],[v2:169.169.241.153:3300,v1:169.169.241.153:6789]\n
 
mon initial members and mon host are holding sequences of monitors' id and IP respectively; the sequence are going in the same order among monitors as a result you can tell which monitors have which service IP addresses. Modify your rook-ceph-mon-endpoints.yaml on fields csi-cluster-config-json and data based on the understanding of rook-ceph.config above. The field mapping tells rook where to schedule monitor's pods. you could search in dataDirHostPath in all Ceph cluster hosts for mon-m,mon-o,mon-k. If you find mon-m in host 10.138.55.120, you should fill 10.138.55.120 in field mapping for m. Others are the same. Update the maxMonId to be the max numeric ID of the highest monitor ID. For example, 15 is the 0-based ID for mon o. Now save this configmap in the file rook-ceph-mon-endpoints.yaml, to be created later in the restore.
 
Now that you have the info for the secret and the configmap, you are ready to restore the running cluster.
 
Deploy Rook Ceph using the YAML files or Helm, with the same settings you had previously.
 
kubectl create -f crds.yaml -f common.yaml -f operator.yaml\n
 
After the operator is running, create the configmap and secret you have just crafted:
 
kubectl create -f rook-ceph-mon.yaml -f rook-ceph-mon-endpoints.yaml\n
 
Create your Ceph cluster CR (if possible, with the same settings as existed previously):
 
kubectl create -f cluster.yaml\n
 
Now your Rook Ceph cluster should be running again.

Warn
 
This is an advanced topic please be aware of the steps you're performing or reach out to the experts for further guidance.
 
There are some cases where the debug logs are not sufficient to investigate issues like high CPU utilization of a Ceph process. In that situation, coredump and perf information of a Ceph process is useful to be collected which can be shared with the Ceph team in an issue.
 
To collect this information, please follow these steps:
 
     
  • Edit the rook-ceph-operator deployment and set ROOK_HOSTPATH_REQUIRES_PRIVILEGED to true.
    •  
  • Wait for the pods to get reinitialized:
    •  
 
# watch kubectl -n rook-ceph get pods\n
 
     
  • Enter the respective pod of the Ceph process which needs to be investigated. For example:
    •  
 
# kubectl -n rook-ceph exec -it deploy/rook-ceph-mon-a -- bash\n
 
     
  • Install gdb , perf and git inside the pod. For example:
    •  
 
# dnf install gdb git perf -y\n
 
     
  • Capture perf data of the respective Ceph process:
    •  
 
# perf record -e cycles --call-graph dwarf -p <pid of the process>\n# perf report > perf_report_<process/thread>\n
 
     
  • Grab the pid of the respective Ceph process to collect its backtrace at multiple time instances, attach gdb to it and share the output gdb.txt:
    •  
 
# gdb -p <pid_of_the_process>\n\n- set pag off\n- set log on\n- thr a a bt full # This captures the complete backtrace of the process\n- backtrace\n- Ctrl+C\n- backtrace\n- Ctrl+C\n- backtrace\n- Ctrl+C\n- backtrace\n- set log off\n- q (to exit out of gdb)\n
 
     
  • Grab the live coredump of the respective process using gcore:
    •  
 
# gcore <pid_of_the_process>\n
 
     
  • Capture the Wallclock Profiler data for the respective Ceph process and share the output gdbpmp.data generated:
    •  
 
# git clone https://github.com/markhpc/gdbpmp\n# cd gdbpmp\n# ./gdbpmp.py -p <pid_of_the_process> -n 100 -o gdbpmp.data\n
 
     
  • Collect the perf.data, perf_report, backtrace of the process gdb.txt , core file and profiler data gdbpmp.data and upload it to the tracker issue for troubleshooting purposes.

This guide will walk through the steps to upgrade the version of Ceph in a Rook cluster. Rook and Ceph upgrades are designed to ensure data remains available even while the upgrade is proceeding. Rook will perform the upgrades in a rolling fashion such that application pods are not disrupted.
 
Rook is cautious when performing upgrades. When an upgrade is requested (the Ceph image has been updated in the CR), Rook will go through all the daemons one by one and will individually perform checks on them. It will make sure a particular daemon can be stopped before performing the upgrade. Once the deployment has been updated, it checks if this is ok to continue. After each daemon is updated we wait for things to settle (monitors to be in a quorum, PGs to be clean for OSDs, up for MDSes, etc.), then only when the condition is met we move to the next daemon. We repeat this process until all the daemons have been updated.

Unless otherwise noted due to extenuating requirements, upgrades from one patch release of Rook to another are as simple as updating the common resources and the image of the Rook operator. For example, when Rook v1.15.5 is released, the process of updating from v1.15.0 is as simple as running the following:
 
git clone --single-branch --depth=1 --branch v1.15.5 https://github.com/rook/rook.git\ncd rook/deploy/examples\n
 
If the Rook Operator or CephCluster are deployed into a different namespace than rook-ceph, see the Update common resources and CRDs section for instructions on how to change the default namespaces in common.yaml.
 
Then, apply the latest changes from v1.15, and update the Rook Operator image.
 
kubectl apply -f common.yaml -f crds.yaml\nkubectl -n rook-ceph set image deploy/rook-ceph-operator rook-ceph-operator=rook/ceph:v1.15.5\n
 
As exemplified above, it is a good practice to update Rook common resources from the example manifests before any update. The common resources and CRDs might not be updated with every release, but Kubernetes will only apply updates to the ones that changed.
 
Also update optional resources like Prometheus monitoring noted more fully in the upgrade section below.

Every 2.0s: kubectl -n rook-ceph get deployment -o j...\n\nrook-ceph-mgr-a         req/upd/avl: 1/1/1      rook-version=v1.15.5\nrook-ceph-mon-a         req/upd/avl: 1/1/1      rook-version=v1.15.5\nrook-ceph-mon-b         req/upd/avl: 1/1/1      rook-version=v1.15.5\nrook-ceph-mon-c         req/upd/avl: 1/1/1      rook-version=v1.15.5\nrook-ceph-osd-0         req/upd/avl: 1//        rook-version=v1.15.5\nrook-ceph-osd-1         req/upd/avl: 1/1/1      rook-version=v1.14.12\nrook-ceph-osd-2         req/upd/avl: 1/1/1      rook-version=v1.14.12\n
 
An easy check to see if the upgrade is totally finished is to check that there is only one rook-version reported across the cluster.
