LAB on Ceph Clustering on Centos7

These are my notes made during my lab practical as part of my LPIC3 Diploma course in Linux Clustering. They are in “rough format”, presented as they were written.

This lab uses the ceph-deploy tool to set up the ceph cluster. However, note that ceph-deploy is now an outdated Ceph tool and is no longer being maintained by the Ceph project. It is also not available for Centos8. The notes below relate to Centos7.

For OS versions of Centos higher than 7 the Ceph project advise you to use the cephadm tool for installing ceph on cluster nodes.

At the time of writing (2021) knowledge of ceph-deploy is a stipulated syllabus requirement of the LPIC3-306 Clustering Diploma Exam, hence this Centos7 Ceph lab refers to ceph-deploy.

As Ceph is a large and complex subject, these notes have been split into several different pages.

Overview of Cluster Environment

The cluster comprises three nodes installed with Centos7 and housed on a KVM virtual machine system on a Linux Ubuntu host. We are installing with Centos7 rather than the recent version because the later versions are not compatible with the ceph-deploy tool.

I first created a base installation virtual machine called ceph-base. From this I then clone the machines needed to build the cluster. ceph-base does NOT form part of the cluster.

ceph-mon 10.0.9.40 192.168.122.40 is the admin-node and ceph-deploy and MON monitor node. We use the ceph-base vm to clone the other machines.

# ceph cluster 10.0.9.0 centos version 7

10.0.9.9 ceph-base
192.168.122.8 ceph-basevm # centos7

10.0.9.0 is the ceph cluster private network. We run 4 machines as follows:

10.0.9.40 ceph-mon
10.0.9.10 ceph-osd0
10.0.9.11 ceph-osd1
10.0.9.12 ceph-osd2

192.168.122.0 is the KVM network. Each machine also has an interface to this network.

192.168.122.40 ceph-monvm
192.168.122.50 ceph-osd0vm
192.168.122.51 ceph-osd1vm
192.168.122.52 ceph-osd2vm

Preparation of Ceph Cluster Machines

ceph-base serves as a template virtual machine for cloning the actual ceph cluster nodes. It does not form part of the cluster.

on ceph-base:

installed centos7
configured 2 ethernet interfaces for the nat networks: 10.0.9.0 and 192.168.122.0
added default route
added nameserver

added ssh keys for passwordless login for root from laptop asus

updated software packages: yum update

copied hosts file from asus to the virtual machines via scp

[root@ceph-base ~]# useradd -d /home/cephuser -m cephuser

created a sudoers file for the user and edited the /etc/sudoers file with sed.

[root@ceph-base ~]# chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/cephuser
[root@ceph-base ~]# sed -i s’/Defaults requiretty/#Defaults requiretty’/g /etc/sudoers
[root@ceph-base ~]# echo “cephuser ALL = (root) NOPASSWD:ALL” | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/cephuser
cephuser ALL = (root) NOPASSWD:ALL

Disable SELinux Security

Disabled SELinux on all nodes by editing the SELinux configuration file with the sed stream editor. This was carried out on the ceph-base virtual machine from which we will be cloning the ceph cluster nodes, so this only needs to be done once.

[root@ceph-base ~]# sed -i ‘s/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/g’ /etc/selinux/config
[root@ceph-base ~]#

Generate the ssh keys for ‘cephuser’.

Configure or Disable Firewalling

On a production cluster the firewall would remain active and the ceph ports would be opened.

Monitors listen on tcp:6789 by default, so for ceph-mon you would need:

firewall-cmd –zone=public –add-port=6789/tcp –permanent
firewall-cmd –reload

OSDs listen on a range of ports, tcp:6800-7300 by default, so you would need to run on ceph-osd{0,1,2}:

firewall-cmd –zone=public –add-port=6800-7300/tcp –permanent
firewall-cmd –reload

However as this is a test lab we can stop and disable the firewall.

[root@ceph-base ~]# systemctl stop firewalld

[root@ceph-base ~]# systemctl disable firewalld

Next step is to clone ceph-base and create the VM machines which will be used for the ceph cluster nodes. After that we can create the cluster using ceph-deploy. Machines are created using KVM.

We create the following machines:

ceph-mon

ceph-osd0

ceph-osd1

ceph-osd2

After this, create ssh key on ceph-mon and then copy it to the osd nodes as follows:

We’re installing this module on the machine we have designated for this purpose, ie ceph-mon:

Normally in a production environment ceph cluster you would run at least two or preferably three ceph monitor nodes to allow for failover and quorum.

Since we are not doing an upgrade, switch CRUSH tunables to optimal:

ceph osd crush tunables optimal

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph osd crush tunables optimal
adjusted tunables profile to optimal
[root@ceph-mon ~]#

Create the OSDs

Any new OSDs (e.g., when the cluster is expanded) can be deployed using BlueStore.

This is the default behavior so no specific change is needed.

first do:

ceph-deploy install –osd ceph-osd0 ceph-osd1 ceph-osd2

To create an OSD on a remote node, run:

ceph–deploy osd create HOST —data /path/to/device

NOTE that partitions aren’t created by this tool, they must be created beforehand.

So we need to first create 2 x 2GB SCSI disks on each OSD machine.

These have the designations sda and sdb since our root OS system disk has the drive designation vda.

If necessary, to erase each partition, you would use the ceph-deploy zap command, eg:

ceph-deploy disk zap ceph-osd0:sda

but here we have created completely new disks so not required.

you can list the available disks on the OSDs as follows:

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph-deploy disk list ceph-osd0

Create the 100% partitions for each disk on each OSD ie sda and sdb will be sda and sdb1:

NOTE we do not create a partition for data sda but we do require one for the journal ie sdb1

from ceph-mon, install and configure the OSDs, using sda as datastore (this is normally a RAID0 of big rotational disks) and sdb1 as its journal (normally a partition on a SSD):

ceph-deploy osd create –data /dev/sda ceph-osd0

do
ssh $node
parted –script /dev/sda ‘mklabel gpt’ ;

The ceph cluster now looks like this:

(still have pools and crush to create and config)

Note the OSDs have to be “in” the cluster ie as cluster node members, and “up” ie active and running Ceph.

Create a Storage Pool

To create a pool:

ceph osd pool create datapool 1

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph osd pool create datapool 1
pool ‘datapool’ created
[root@ceph-mon ~]#

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph osd pool create datapool 1
pool ‘datapool’ created
[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph osd lspools
1 datapool
[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph df
GLOBAL:

6.0 GiB 3.0 GiB 3.0 GiB 50.30
POOLS:
NAME ID USED %USED MAX AVAIL OBJECTS
datapool 1 0 B 0 1.8 GiB 0
[root@ceph-mon ~]#

so we need to enable the pool:

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph osd pool application enable datapool rbd

Object Manipulation

To create an object and upload a file into that object:

Example:

echo “test data” > testfile
rados put -p datapool testfile testfile
rados -p datapool ls
testfile

To set a key/value pair to that object:

rados -p datapool setomapval testfile mykey myvalue
rados -p datapool getomapval testfile mykey
(length 7) : 0000 : 6d 79 76 61 6c 75 65 : myvalue

To download the file:

rados get -p datapool testfile testfile2
md5sum testfile testfile2
39a870a194a787550b6b5d1f49629236 testfile
39a870a194a787550b6b5d1f49629236 testfile2

[root@ceph-mon ~]# echo “test data” > testfile
[root@ceph-mon ~]# rados put -p datapool testfile testfile
[root@ceph-mon ~]# rados -p datapool ls

How To List Your Cluster Pools

To list your cluster pools, execute:

ceph osd lspools

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph osd lspools
1 datapool
[root@ceph-mon ~]#

Placement Groups PG Information

To display the number of placement groups in a pool:

ceph osd pool get {pool-name} pg_num

To display statistics for the placement groups in the cluster:

ceph pg dump [–format {format}]

To display pool statistics:

[root@ceph-mon ~]# rados df
POOL_NAME USED OBJECTS CLONES COPIES MISSING_ON_PRIMARY UNFOUND DEGRADED RD_OPS RD WR_OPS WR
datapool 10 B 1 0 2 0 0 0 2 2 KiB 2 2 KiB

total_objects 1
total_used 3.0 GiB
total_avail 3.0 GiB
total_space 6.0 GiB
[root@ceph-mon ~]#

How To Repair a Placement Group PG

Ascertain with ceph -s which PG has a problem

To identify stuck placement groups:

ceph pg dump_stuck [unclean|inactive|stale|undersized|degraded]

Then do:

ceph pg repair <PG ID>

For more info on troubleshooting PGs see https://documentation.suse.com/ses/7/html/ses-all/bp-troubleshooting-pgs.html

How To Activate Ceph Dashboard

The Ceph Dashboard runs without an Apache or other webserver active, the functionality is provided by the Ceph system.

All HTTP connections to the Ceph dashboard use SSL/TLS by default.

For testing lab purposes you can simply generate and install a self-signed certificate as follows:

ceph dashboard create-self-signed-cert

However in production environments this is unsuitable since web browsers will object to self-signed certificates and require explicit confirmation from a certificate authority or CA before opening a connection to the Ceph dashboard.

You can use your own certificate authority to ensure the certificate warning does not appear.

For example by doing:

$ openssl req -new -nodes -x509 -subj “/O=IT/CN=ceph-mgr-dashboard” -days 3650 -keyout dashboard.key -out dashboard.crt -extensions v3_ca

The generated dashboard.crt file then needs to be signed by a CA. Once signed, it can then be enabled for all Ceph manager instances as follows:

ceph config-key set mgr mgr/dashboard/crt -i dashboard.crt

After changing the SSL certificate and key you must restart the Ceph manager processes manually. Either by:

ceph mgr fail mgr

or by disabling and re-enabling the dashboard module:

ceph mgr module disable dashboard
ceph mgr module enable dashboard

By default, the ceph-mgr daemon that runs the dashboard (i.e., the currently active manager) binds to TCP port 8443 (or 8080 if SSL is disabled).

You can change these ports by doing:

ceph config set mgr mgr/dashboard/server_addr $IP
ceph config set mgr mgr/dashboard/server_port $PORT

For the purposes of this lab I did:

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph mgr module enable dashboard
[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph dashboard create-self-signed-cert
Self-signed certificate created
[root@ceph-mon ~]#

Dashboard enabling can be automated by adding following to ceph.conf:

[mon]
mgr initial modules = dashboard

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph mgr module ls | grep -A 5 enabled_modules
“enabled_modules”: [
“balancer”,
“crash”,
“dashboard”,
“iostat”,
“restful”,
[root@ceph-mon ~]#

check SSL is installed correctly. You should see the keys displayed in output from these commands:

ceph config-key get mgr/dashboard/key
ceph config-key get mgr/dashboard/crt

This command does not work on Centos7, Ceph Mimic version as the full functionality was not implemented by the Ceph project for this version.

ceph dashboard ac-user-create admin password administrator

Use this command instead:

[root@ceph-mon etc]# ceph dashboard set-login-credentials cephuser <password not shown here>
Username and password updated
[root@ceph-mon etc]#

Also make sure you have the respective firewall ports open for the dashboard, ie 8443 for SSL/TLS https (or 8080 for http – latter however not advisable due to insecure unencrypted connection – password interception risk)

Logging in to the Ceph Dashboard

To log in, open the URL:

To display the current URL and port for the Ceph dashboard, do:

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph mgr services
{
“dashboard”: “https://ceph-mon:8443/”
}
[root@ceph-mon ~]#

and enter the user name and password you set as above.

Pools and Placement Groups In More Detail

Remember that pools are not PGs. PGs go inside pools.

To create a pool:

ceph osd pool create <pool name> <PG_NUM> <PGP_NUM>

PG_NUM
This holds the number of placement groups for the pool.

PGP_NUM
This is the effective number of placement groups to be used to calculate data placement. It must be equal to or less than PG_NUM.

Pools by default are replicated.

There are two kinds:

replicated

erasure coding EC

For replicated you set the number of data copies or replicas that each data obkect will have. The number of copies that can be lost will be one less than the number of replicas.

For EC its more complicated.

you have

k : number of data chunks
m : number of coding chunks

Pools have to be associated with an application. Pools to be used with CephFS, or pools automatically created by Object Gateway are automatically associated with cephfs or rgw respectively.

For CephFS the name associated application name is cephfs,
for RADOS Block Device it is rbd,
and for Object Gateway it is rgw.

Otherwise, the format to associate a free-form application name with a pool is:

ceph osd pool application enable POOL_NAME APPLICATION_NAME

To see which applications a pool is associated with use:

ceph osd pool application get pool_name

To set pool quotas for the maximum number of bytes and/or the maximum number of objects permitted per pool:

ceph osd pool set-quota POOL_NAME MAX_OBJECTS OBJ_COUNT MAX_BYTES BYTES

ceph osd pool set-quota data max_objects 20000

To set the number of object replicas on a replicated pool use:

ceph osd pool set poolname size num-replicas

Important:
The num-replicas value includes the object itself. So if you want the object and two replica copies of the object for a total of three instances of the object, you need to specify 3. You should not set this value to anything less than 3! Also bear in mind that setting 4 replicas for a pool will increase the reliability by 25%.

To display the number of object replicas, use:

ceph osd dump | grep ‘replicated size’

If you want to remove a quota, set this value to 0.

To set pool values, use:

ceph osd pool set POOL_NAME KEY VALUE

To display a pool’s stats use:

rados df

To list all values related to a specific pool use:

ceph osd pool get POOL_NAME all

You can also display specific pool values as follows:

ceph osd pool get POOL_NAME KEY

The number of placement groups for the pool.

ceph osd pool get POOL_NAME KEY

In particular:

PG_NUM
This holds the number of placement groups for the pool.

PGP_NUM
This is the effective number of placement groups to be used to calculate data placement. It must be equal to or less than PG_NUM.

Pool Created:

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph osd pool create datapool 128 128 replicated
pool ‘datapool’ created
[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph -s
cluster:
id: 2e490f0d-41dc-4be2-b31f-c77627348d60

[root@ceph-mon ~]#

To remove a Placement Pool

two ways, ie two different commands can be used:

[root@ceph-mon ~]# rados rmpool datapool –yes-i-really-really-mean-it
WARNING:
This will PERMANENTLY DESTROY an entire pool of objects with no way back.
To confirm, pass the pool to remove twice, followed by
–yes-i-really-really-mean-it

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph osd pool delete datapool datapool –yes-i-really-really-mean-it
Error EPERM: pool deletion is disabled; you must first set the mon_allow_pool_delete config option to true before you can destroy a pool
[root@ceph-mon ~]#

You have to set the mon_allow_pool_delete option first to true

first get the value of

ceph osd pool get pool_name nodelete

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph osd pool get datapool nodelete
nodelete: false
[root@ceph-mon ~]#

Because inadvertent pool deletion is a real danger, Ceph implements two mechanisms that prevent pools from being deleted. Both mechanisms must be disabled before a pool can be deleted.

The first mechanism is the NODELETE flag. Each pool has this flag, and its default value is ‘false’. To find out the value of this flag on a pool, run the following command:

ceph osd pool get pool_name nodelete

If it outputs nodelete: true, it is not possible to delete the pool until you change the flag using the following command:

ceph osd pool set pool_name nodelete false

The second mechanism is the cluster-wide configuration parameter mon allow pool delete, which defaults to ‘false’. This means that, by default, it is not possible to delete a pool. The error message displayed is:

Error EPERM: pool deletion is disabled; you must first set the
mon_allow_pool_delete config option to true before you can destroy a pool

To delete the pool despite this safety setting, you can temporarily set value of mon allow pool delete to ‘true’, then delete the pool. Then afterwards reset the value back to ‘false’:

ceph tell mon.* injectargs –mon-allow-pool-delete=true
ceph osd pool delete pool_name pool_name –yes-i-really-really-mean-it
ceph tell mon.* injectargs –mon-allow-pool-delete=false

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph tell mon.* injectargs –mon-allow-pool-delete=true
injectargs:
[root@ceph-mon ~]#

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph osd pool delete datapool –yes-i-really-really-mean-it
Error EPERM: WARNING: this will *PERMANENTLY DESTROY* all data stored in pool datapool. If you are *ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN* that is what you want, pass the pool name *twice*, followed by –yes-i-really-really-mean-it.
[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph osd pool delete datapool datapool –yes-i-really-really-mean-it
pool ‘datapool’ removed
[root@ceph-mon ~]#

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph tell mon.* injectargs –mon-allow-pool-delete=false
injectargs:mon_allow_pool_delete = ‘false’
[root@ceph-mon ~]#

NOTE The injectargs command displays following to confirm the command was carried out ok, this is NOT an error:

injectargs:mon_allow_pool_delete = ‘true’ (not observed, change may require restart)

Creating a Ceph MetaData Server MDS

A metadata or mds server node is a requirement if you want to run cephfs.

First add the mds server node name to the hosts name of all machines in the cluster, both mon, mgr and osds.

For this lab I am using the ceph-mon machine for the mds server ie not a separate additional node.

Note the SSH has to work, this is a prerequisite.

then set correct permissions for the ceph.client.admin.keyring:

How To Create a CephsFS

A Ceph filesystem requires at least two RADOS pools, one for data and one for metadata.

Bear in mind that:

Using a higher replication level for the metadata pool, as any data loss in this pool can render the whole filesystem inaccessible!

Using lower-latency storage such as SSDs for the metadata pool, as this will directly affect the observed latency of filesystem operations on clients.

Create a data pool, one for data, one for metadata:

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph osd pool create cephfs_data 128
pool ‘cephfs_data’ created
[root@ceph-mon ~]#
[root@ceph-mon ~]#
[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph osd pool create cephfs_metadata 128
pool ‘cephfs_metadata’ created
[root@ceph-mon ~]#

then enable the filesystem using the fs new command:

ceph fs new <fs_name> <metadata> <data>

so we do:

ceph fs new cephfs cephfs_metadata cephfs_data

then verify with:

ceph fs ls

and

ceph mds stat

[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph fs new cephfs cephfs_metadata cephfs_data
new fs with metadata pool 5 and data pool 4
[root@ceph-mon ~]# ceph fs ls
name: cephfs, metadata pool: cephfs_metadata, data pools: [cephfs_data ]

Once the filesystem is created and the MDS is active you can mount the filesystem:

How To Mount Cephfs

To mount the Ceph file system use the mount command if you know the monitor host IP address, else use the mount.ceph utility to resolve the monitor host name to IP address. eg:

mkdir /mnt/cephfs
mount -t ceph 192.168.122.21:6789:/ /mnt/cephfs

To mount the Ceph file system with cephx authentication enabled, you need to specify a user name and a secret.

mount -t ceph 192.168.122.21:6789:/ /mnt/cephfs -o name=admin,secret=DUWEDduoeuroFDWVMWDqfdffDWLSRT==

However, a safer method reads the secret from a file, eg:

mount -t ceph 192.168.122.21:6789:/ /mnt/cephfs -o name=admin,secretfile=/etc/ceph/admin.secret

To unmount cephfs simply use the umount command as per usual:

umount /mnt/cephfs

[root@ceph-mon ~]# mount -t ceph ceph-mds:6789:/ /mnt/cephfs -o name=admin,secret=`ceph-authtool -p ceph.client.admin.keyring`
[root@ceph-mon ~]#

[root@ceph-mon ~]# df -h

To mount from asus laptop had to copy

scp ceph.client.admin.keyring asus:/root/

then I could do

mount -t ceph ceph-mds:6789:/ /mnt/cephfs -o name=admin,secret=`ceph-authtool -p ceph.client.admin.keyring`

Creating rbd snapshots

An RBD snapshot is a snapshot of a RADOS Block Device image. An rbd snapshot creates a history of the image’s state.

It is important to stop input and output operations and flush all pending writes before creating a snapshot of an rbd image.

If the image contains a file system, the file system must be in a consistent state before creating the snapshot.

rbd –pool pool-name snap create –snap snap-name image-name

rbd snap create pool-name/image-name@snap-name

rbd –pool rbd snap create –snap snapshot1 image1
rbd snap create rbd/image1@snapshot1

To list snapshots of an image, specify the pool name and the image name.

rbd –pool pool-name snap ls image-name
rbd snap ls pool-name/image-name

rbd –pool rbd snap ls image1
rbd snap ls rbd/image1

How to rollback to a snapshot

To rollback to a snapshot with rbd, specify the snap rollback option, the pool name, the image name, and the snapshot name.

rbd –pool pool-name snap rollback –snap snap-name image-name
rbd snap rollback pool-name/image-name@snap-name

rbd –pool pool1 snap rollback –snap snapshot1 image1
rbd snap rollback pool1/image1@snapshot1

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Note that it is faster to clone from a snapshot than to rollback an image to a snapshot. This is actually the preferred method of returning to a pre-existing state rather than rolling back a snapshot.

To delete a snapshot

To delete a snapshot with rbd, specify the snap rm option, the pool name, the image name, and the user name.

rbd –pool pool-name snap rm –snap snap-name image-name
rbd snap rm pool-name/image-name@snap-name

rbd –pool pool1 snap rm –snap snapshot1 image1
rbd snap rm pool1/image1@snapshot1

Note also that Ceph OSDs delete data asynchronously, so deleting a snapshot will not free the disk space straight away.

To delete or purge all snapshots

To delete all snapshots for an image with rbd, specify the snap purge option and the image name.

rbd –pool pool-name snap purge image-name
rbd snap purge pool-name/image-name

rbd –pool pool1 snap purge image1
rbd snap purge pool1/image1

Important when cloning!

Note that clones access the parent snapshots. This means all clones will break if a user deletes the parent snapshot. To prevent this happening, you must protect the snapshot before you can clone it.

do this by:

rbd –pool pool-name snap protect –image image-name –snap snapshot-name
rbd snap protect pool-name/image-name@snapshot-name

rbd –pool pool1 snap protect –image image1 –snap snapshot1
rbd snap protect pool1/image1@snapshot1

Note that you cannot delete a protected snapshot.

How to clone a snapshot

To clone a snapshot, you must specify the parent pool, image, snapshot, the child pool, and the image name.

You must also protect the snapshot before you can clone it.

rbd clone –pool pool-name –image parent-image –snap snap-name –dest-pool pool-name –dest child-image

rbd clone pool-name/parent-image@snap-name pool-name/child-image-name

rbd clone pool1/image1@snapshot1 pool1/image2

To delete a snapshot, you must unprotect it first.

However, you cannot delete snapshots that have references from clones unless you first “flatten” each clone of a snapshot.

rbd –pool pool-name snap unprotect –image image-name –snap snapshot-name
rbd snap unprotect pool-name/image-name@snapshot-name

rbd –pool pool1 snap unprotect –image image1 –snap snapshot1
rbd snap unprotect pool1/image1@snapshot1

To list the children of a snapshot

rbd –pool pool-name children –image image-name –snap snap-name

rbd –pool pool1 children –image image1 –snap snapshot1
rbd children pool1/image1@snapshot1
