3 Troubleshooting cephadm #

If something goes wrong and cephadm is behaving in a way you do not like, you can pause most background activity by executing the following:

cephuser@adm > ceph orch pause

This will stop any changes, but cephadm will still periodically check hosts to refresh its inventory of daemons and devices. You can disable cephadm completely with:

cephuser@adm > ceph orch set backend ''
cephuser@adm > ceph mgr module disable cephadm

This disables all of the ceph orch ... CLI commands but the previously deployed daemon containers will continue to exist and start as they did before.

You can monitor the cephadm log in real time:

cephuser@adm > ceph -W cephadm

To view the last few messages, execute:

cephuser@adm > ceph log last cephadm

SUSE Enterprise Storage 7 supports Ceph logging via systemd-journald. To access the logs of Ceph daemons in SUSE Enterprise Storage 7, follow the instructions below.

To print the state of a systemd unit, run:

systemctl status "ceph-$(cephadm shell ceph fsid)@service name.service";

To fetch all state of all daemons of a given host, run:

  fsid="$(cephadm shell ceph fsid)"
  for name in $(cephadm ls | jq -r '.[].name') ; do
    systemctl status "ceph-$fsid@$name.service" > $name;
  done

cephadm has a set of container images configured by default.

To get the value of the configured default container:

cephuser@adm > ceph config get mgr mgr/cephadm/OPTION_NAME

Where OPTION_NAME is any of the following names:

For example:

  cephuser@adm > ceph config get mgr mgr/cephadm/container_image_base
  registry.suse.com/ses/7/ceph/ceph

Nota

mgr/cephadm/container_image_base is the default Ceph conatiner image used by all services except the monitoring stack

To list all container images that are downloaded on a host:

Nota

Image may also be called ImageID.

  podman ps -a --format json | jq '.[].Image'
  "docker.io/library/centos:8"
  "registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/leap:15.2"

cephadm writes small wrappers that run a containers. Refer to /var/lib/ceph/cluster-fsid/service-name/unit.run for the container execution command.

xxxxxx.gateway_bootstrap.HostNotFound: -F /tmp/cephadm-conf-kbqvkrkw root@10.10.1.2
raise OrchestratorError('Failed to connect to %s (%s).  Check that the host is reachable and accepts  connections using the cephadm SSH key' % (host, addr)) from

root@master # cephadm shell -- ceph config-key get mgr/cephadm/ssh_identity_pub > key.pub
root@master # grep "`cat key.pub`"  /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

If you see one of the following errors:

ERROR: Failed to infer CIDR network for mon ip ***; pass --skip-mon-network to configure it later

or

Must set public_network config option or specify a CIDR network, ceph addrvec, or plain IP

You need to specify a subnet for Ceph Monitors:

cephuser@adm > ceph config set mon public_network MON_NETWORK

Each Ceph daemon provides an admin socket that bypasses the MONs. To access the admin socket, enter the daemon container on the host:

root@master # cephadm enter --name daemon-name
root@master # ceph --admin-daemon /var/run/ceph/ceph-daemon-name.asok config show

Use the following steps to deploy a new Ceph Manager on a host.

Occasionally, in order to fix a given issue, SUSE will provide a set of packages known as a Program Temporary Fix (PTF). Such a PTF is fully supported by SUSE until the Maintenance Update (MU) containing a permanent fix has been released via the regular update repositories. Customers running PTF fixes will be notified through the related Service Request when a permanent patch for a PTF has been released.

With cephadm, deploying the PTF is already possible by redeploying a specific daemon with a specific container_image.

Use the following command to deploy a specific daemon with a new container image:

cephuser@adm > ceph orch daemon redeploy daemon --image=myregistry.com/myimage:mytag

Importante

If you plan to run the ceph-salt update command after applying a PTF (as described in Seção 13.6.4, “Executando a atualização”), it will not affect the manual changes made by the temporary fix.

Conversely, running the ceph orch upgrade command (see Seção 13.7.1, “Iniciando a atualização”) will upgrade daemons manually deployed by the PTF.

When cephadm fails to add a new cluster host—no matter whether by means of ceph-salt (see Seção 5.3.2.2, “Adicionando minions Salt”) or manually using the ceph orch host add command—you can diagnose the reason for failure. The failure message has the following pattern:

Failed to connect to HOSTNAME (FQDN).

For example:

cephuser@adm > ceph orch host add node5.example.com
Failed to connect to node5 (node5.example.com).

If the message includes a fully qualified domain name (FQDN, node5.example com in our example) as the HOSTNAME, try adding the host using its FQDN:

cephuser@adm > ceph orch host add node5.example.com

If the message includes a short host name (node5 in our example) as the HOSTNAME, try adding the host using both its short name and FQDN:

cephuser@adm > ceph orch host add node5 node5.example.com

If either of the previous two commands succeed, ceph-salt is probably causing the problem. Otherwise, try adding the host using its short host name and IP address:

cephuser@adm > ceph orch host add node5 192.168.2.102

If this succeeds, the cluster does not have proper name resolution. Refer to Seção 5.1, “Instalando e configurando o SUSE Linux Enterprise Server” for more details.

By default, Ceph daemons are automatically deployed to new hosts after you add these hosts to the placement specification and apply it (refer to Seção 5.4, “Implantando serviços e gateways” for more details).

If you need to disable the automated deployment of Ceph daemons, add unmanaged: true to its specification file and apply it, for example:

cat mgr.yaml
service_type: mgr
unmanaged: true
placement:
  label: mgr
[...]

cephuser@adm > ceph orch apply -i mgr.yaml

After applying this specification, cephadm will no longer deploy any new daemons on hosts that match the placement specification.

To manually deploy a daemon on a new host, run:

ceph orch daemon add DAEMON_TYPE --placement=PLACEMENT_SPEC

For example:

cephuser@adm > ceph orch daemon add mgr --placement=ses-min3

To manually remove a daemon, run:

ceph orch daemon rm DAEMON_NAME [--force]

For example:

cephuser@adm > ceph orch daemon rm mgr.ses-min3.xietsy
