Synopsis
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
| **crushtool** ( -d *map* | -c *map.txt* | --build --num_osds *numosds*
|
|
*layer1* *...* | --test ) [ -o *outfile* ]
|

|
Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
**crushtool** is a utility that lets you create, compile, decompile
|
|
and test CRUSH map files.
|
|
|
|
CRUSH is a pseudo-random data distribution algorithm that efficiently
|
|
maps input values (which, in the context of Ceph, correspond to Placement
|
|
Groups) across a heterogeneous, hierarchically structured device map.
|
|
The algorithm was originally described in detail in the following paper
|
|
(although it has evolved some since then)::
|
|
|
|
http://www.ssrc.ucsc.edu/Papers/weil-sc06.pdf
|
|
|
|
The tool has four modes of operation.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --compile|-c map.txt
|
|
|
|
will compile a plaintext map.txt into a binary map file.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --decompile|-d map
|
|
|
|
will take the compiled map and decompile it into a plaintext source
|
|
file, suitable for editing.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --build --num_osds {num-osds} layer1 ...
|
|
|
|
will create map with the given layer structure. See below for a
|
|
detailed explanation.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --test
|
|
|
|
will perform a dry run of a CRUSH mapping for a range of input
|
|
values ``[--min-x,--max-x]`` (default ``[0,1023]``) which can be
|
|
thought of as simulated Placement Groups. See below for a more
|
|
detailed explanation.
|
|
|
|
Unlike other Ceph tools, **crushtool** does not accept generic options
|
|
such as **--debug-crush** from the command line. They can, however, be
|
|
provided via the CEPH_ARGS environment variable. For instance, to
|
|
silence all output from the CRUSH subsystem::
|
|
|
|
CEPH_ARGS="--debug-crush 0" crushtool ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running tests with --test
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
The test mode will use the input crush map ( as specified with **-i
|
|
map** ) and perform a dry run of CRUSH mapping or random placement
|
|
(if **--simulate** is set ). On completion, two kinds of reports can be
|
|
created.
|
|
1) The **--show-...** option outputs human readable information
|
|
on stderr.
|
|
2) The **--output-csv** option creates CSV files that are
|
|
documented by the **--help-output** option.
|
|
|
|
Note: Each Placement Group (PG) has an integer ID which can be obtained
|
|
from ``ceph pg dump`` (for example PG 2.2f means pool id 2, PG id 32).
|
|
The pool and PG IDs are combined by a function to get a value which is
|
|
given to CRUSH to map it to OSDs. crushtool does not know about PGs or
|
|
pools; it only runs simulations by mapping values in the range
|
|
``[--min-x,--max-x]``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --show-statistics
|
|
|
|
Displays a summary of the distribution. For instance::
|
|
|
|
rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 5 result size == 5: 1024/1024
|
|
|
|
shows that rule **1** which is named **metadata** successfully
|
|
mapped **1024** values to **result size == 5** devices when trying
|
|
to map them to **num_rep 5** replicas. When it fails to provide the
|
|
required mapping, presumably because the number of **tries** must
|
|
be increased, a breakdown of the failures is displayed. For instance::
|
|
|
|
rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 10 result size == 8: 4/1024
|
|
rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 10 result size == 9: 93/1024
|
|
rule 1 (metadata) num_rep 10 result size == 10: 927/1024
|
|
|
|
shows that although **num_rep 10** replicas were required, **4**
|
|
out of **1024** values ( **4/1024** ) were mapped to **result size
|
|
== 8** devices only.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --show-mappings
|
|
|
|
Displays the mapping of each value in the range ``[--min-x,--max-x]``.
|
|
For instance::
|
|
|
|
CRUSH rule 1 x 24 [11,6]
|
|
|
|
shows that value **24** is mapped to devices **[11,6]** by rule
|
|
**1**.
|
|
|
|
One of the following is required when using the ``--show-mappings`` option:
|
|
|
|
(a) ``--num-rep``
|
|
(b) both ``--min-rep`` and ``--max-rep``
|
|
|
|
``--num-rep`` stands for "number of replicas, indicates the number of
|
|
replicas in a pool, and is used to specify an exact number of replicas (for
|
|
example ``--num-rep 5``). ``--min-rep`` and ``--max-rep`` are used together
|
|
to specify a range of replicas (for example, ``--min-rep 1 --max-rep 10``).
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --show-bad-mappings
|
|
|
|
Displays which value failed to be mapped to the required number of
|
|
devices. For instance::
|
|
|
|
bad mapping rule 1 x 781 num_rep 7 result [8,10,2,11,6,9]
|
|
|
|
shows that when rule **1** was required to map **7** devices, it
|
|
could map only six : **[8,10,2,11,6,9]**.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --show-utilization
|
|
|
|
Displays the expected and actual utilization for each device, for
|
|
each number of replicas. For instance::
|
|
|
|
device 0: stored : 951 expected : 853.333
|
|
device 1: stored : 963 expected : 853.333
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
shows that device **0** stored **951** values and was expected to store **853**.
|
|
Implies **--show-statistics**.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --show-utilization-all
|
|
|
|
Displays the same as **--show-utilization** but does not suppress
|
|
output when the weight of a device is zero.
|
|
Implies **--show-statistics**.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --show-choose-tries
|
|
|
|
Displays how many attempts were needed to find a device mapping.
|
|
For instance::
|
|
|
|
0: 95224
|
|
1: 3745
|
|
2: 2225
|
|
..
|
|
|
|
shows that **95224** mappings succeeded without retries, **3745**
|
|
mappings succeeded with one attempts, etc. There are as many rows
|
|
as the value of the **--set-choose-total-tries** option.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --output-csv
|
|
|
|
Creates CSV files (in the current directory) containing information
|
|
documented by **--help-output**. The files are named after the rule
|
|
used when collecting the statistics. For instance, if the rule
|
|
: 'metadata' is used, the CSV files will be::
|
|
|
|
metadata-absolute_weights.csv
|
|
metadata-device_utilization.csv
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
The first line of the file shortly explains the column layout. For
|
|
instance::
|
|
|
|
metadata-absolute_weights.csv
|
|
Device ID, Absolute Weight
|
|
0,1
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --output-name NAME
|
|
|
|
Prepend **NAME** to the file names generated when **--output-csv**
|
|
is specified. For instance **--output-name FOO** will create
|
|
files::
|
|
|
|
FOO-metadata-absolute_weights.csv
|
|
FOO-metadata-device_utilization.csv
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
The **--set-...** options can be used to modify the tunables of the
|
|
input crush map. The input crush map is modified in
|
|
memory. For example::
|
|
|
|
$ crushtool -i mymap --test --show-bad-mappings
|
|
bad mapping rule 1 x 781 num_rep 7 result [8,10,2,11,6,9]
|
|
|
|
could be fixed by increasing the **choose-total-tries** as follows:
|
|
|
|
$ crushtool -i mymap --test \
|
|
--show-bad-mappings \
|
|
--set-choose-total-tries 500
|
|
|
|
Building a map with --build
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
The build mode will generate hierarchical maps. The first argument
|
|
specifies the number of devices (leaves) in the CRUSH hierarchy. Each
|
|
layer describes how the layer (or devices) preceding it should be
|
|
grouped.
|
|
|
|
Each layer consists of::
|
|
|
|
bucket ( uniform | list | tree | straw | straw2 ) size
|
|
|
|
The **bucket** is the type of the buckets in the layer
|
|
(e.g. "rack"). Each bucket name will be built by appending a unique
|
|
number to the **bucket** string (e.g. "rack0", "rack1"...).
|
|
|
|
The second component is the type of bucket: **straw** should be used
|
|
most of the time.
|
|
|
|
The third component is the maximum size of the bucket. A size of zero
|
|
means a bucket of infinite capacity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Suppose we have two rows with two racks each and 20 nodes per rack. Suppose
|
|
each node contains 4 storage devices for Ceph OSD Daemons. This configuration
|
|
allows us to deploy 320 Ceph OSD Daemons. Lets assume a 42U rack with 2U nodes,
|
|
leaving an extra 2U for a rack switch.
|
|
|
|
To reflect our hierarchy of devices, nodes, racks and rows, we would execute
|
|
the following::
|
|
|
|
$ crushtool -o crushmap --build --num_osds 320 \
|
|
node straw 4 \
|
|
rack straw 20 \
|
|
row straw 2 \
|
|
root straw 0
|
|
# id weight type name reweight
|
|
-87 320 root root
|
|
-85 160 row row0
|
|
-81 80 rack rack0
|
|
-1 4 node node0
|
|
0 1 osd.0 1
|
|
1 1 osd.1 1
|
|
2 1 osd.2 1
|
|
3 1 osd.3 1
|
|
-2 4 node node1
|
|
4 1 osd.4 1
|
|
5 1 osd.5 1
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
CRUSH rules are created so the generated crushmap can be
|
|
tested. They are the same rules as the ones created by default when
|
|
creating a new Ceph cluster. They can be further edited with::
|
|
|
|
# decompile
|
|
crushtool -d crushmap -o map.txt
|
|
|
|
# edit
|
|
emacs map.txt
|
|
|
|
# recompile
|
|
crushtool -c map.txt -o crushmap
|
|
|
|
Reclassify
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
The *reclassify* function allows users to transition from older maps that
|
|
maintain parallel hierarchies for OSDs of different types to a modern CRUSH
|
|
map that makes use of the *device class* feature. For more information,
|
|
see https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/rados/operations/crush-map-edits/#migrating-from-a-legacy-ssd-rule-to-device-classes.
