Upgrading Ceph
==============
.. DANGER:: DATE: 01 NOV 2021.
DO NOT UPGRADE TO CEPH PACIFIC FROM AN OLDER VERSION.
A recently-discovered bug (https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/53062) can cause
data corruption. This bug occurs during OMAP format conversion for
clusters that are updated to Pacific. New clusters are not affected by this
bug.
The trigger for this bug is BlueStore's repair/quick-fix functionality. This
bug can be triggered in two known ways:
(1) manually via the ceph-bluestore-tool, or
(2) automatically, by OSD if ``bluestore_fsck_quick_fix_on_mount`` is set
to true.
The fix for this bug is expected to be available in Ceph v16.2.7.
DO NOT set ``bluestore_quick_fix_on_mount`` to true. If it is currently
set to true in your configuration, immediately set it to false.
DO NOT run ``ceph-bluestore-tool``'s repair/quick-fix commands.
Cephadm can safely upgrade Ceph from one bugfix release to the next. For
example, you can upgrade from v15.2.0 (the first Octopus release) to the next
point release, v15.2.1.
The automated upgrade process follows Ceph best practices. For example:
* The upgrade order starts with managers, monitors, then other daemons.
* Each daemon is restarted only after Ceph indicates that the cluster
will remain available.
.. note::
The Ceph cluster health status is likely to switch to
``HEALTH_WARNING`` during the upgrade.
.. note::
In case a host of the cluster is offline, the upgrade is paused.
Starting the upgrade
====================
.. note::
.. note::
`Staggered Upgrade`_ of the mons/mgrs may be necessary to have access
to this new feature.
Cephadm by default reduces `max_mds` to `1`. This can be disruptive for large
scale CephFS deployments because the cluster cannot quickly reduce active MDS(s)
to `1` and a single active MDS cannot easily handle the load of all clients
even for a short time. Therefore, to upgrade MDS(s) without reducing `max_mds`,
the `fail_fs` option can to be set to `true` (default value is `false`) prior
to initiating the upgrade:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph config set mgr mgr/orchestrator/fail_fs true
This would:
#. Fail CephFS filesystems, bringing active MDS daemon(s) to
`up:standby` state.
#. Upgrade MDS daemons safely.
#. Bring CephFS filesystems back up, bringing the state of active
MDS daemon(s) from `up:standby` to `up:active`.
Before you use cephadm to upgrade Ceph, verify that all hosts are currently online and that your cluster is healthy by running the following command:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph -s
To upgrade (or downgrade) to a specific release, run the following command:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph orch upgrade start --ceph-version <version>
For example, to upgrade to v16.2.6, run the following command:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph orch upgrade start --ceph-version 16.2.6
.. note::
From version v16.2.6 the Docker Hub registry is no longer used, so if you use Docker you have to point it to the image in the quay.io registry:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph orch upgrade start --image quay.io/ceph/ceph:v16.2.6
Monitoring the upgrade
======================
Determine (1) whether an upgrade is in progress and (2) which version the
cluster is upgrading to by running the following command:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph orch upgrade status
Watching the progress bar during a Ceph upgrade
-----------------------------------------------
During the upgrade, a progress bar is visible in the ceph status output. It
looks like this:
.. code-block:: console
# ceph -s
[...]
progress:
Upgrade to docker.io/ceph/ceph:v15.2.1 (00h 20m 12s)
[=======.....................] (time remaining: 01h 43m 31s)
Watching the cephadm log during an upgrade
------------------------------------------
Watch the cephadm log by running the following command:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph -W cephadm
Canceling an upgrade
====================
You can stop the upgrade process at any time by running the following command:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph orch upgrade stop
Post upgrade actions
====================
In case the new version is based on ``cephadm``, once done with the upgrade the user
has to update the ``cephadm`` package (or ceph-common package in case the user
doesn't use ``cephadm shell``) to a version compatible with the new version.
Potential problems
==================
There are a few health alerts that can arise during the upgrade process.
UPGRADE_NO_STANDBY_MGR
----------------------
This alert (``UPGRADE_NO_STANDBY_MGR``) means that Ceph does not detect an
active standby manager daemon. In order to proceed with the upgrade, Ceph
requires an active standby manager daemon (which you can think of in this
context as "a second manager").
You can ensure that Cephadm is configured to run 2 (or more) managers by
running the following command:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph orch apply mgr 2 # or more
You can check the status of existing mgr daemons by running the following
command:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph orch ps --daemon-type mgr
If an existing mgr daemon has stopped, you can try to restart it by running the
following command:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph orch daemon restart <name>
UPGRADE_FAILED_PULL
-------------------
This alert (``UPGRADE_FAILED_PULL``) means that Ceph was unable to pull the
container image for the target version. This can happen if you specify a
version or container image that does not exist (e.g. "1.2.3"), or if the
container registry can not be reached by one or more hosts in the cluster.
To cancel the existing upgrade and to specify a different target version, run
the following commands:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph orch upgrade stop
ceph orch upgrade start --ceph-version <version>
Using customized container images
=================================
For most users, upgrading requires nothing more complicated than specifying the
Ceph version number to upgrade to. In such cases, cephadm locates the specific
Ceph container image to use by combining the ``container_image_base``
configuration option (default: ``docker.io/ceph/ceph``) with a tag of
``vX.Y.Z``.
But it is possible to upgrade to an arbitrary container image, if that's what
you need. For example, the following command upgrades to a development build:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph orch upgrade start --image quay.io/ceph-ci/ceph:recent-git-branch-name
For more information about available container images, see :ref:`containers`.
Staggered Upgrade
=================
Some users may prefer to upgrade components in phases rather than all at once.
The upgrade command, starting in 16.2.11 and 17.2.1 allows parameters
to limit which daemons are upgraded by a single upgrade command. The options in
include ``daemon_types``, ``services``, ``hosts`` and ``limit``. ``daemon_types``
takes a comma-separated list of daemon types and will only upgrade daemons of those
types. ``services`` is mutually exclusive with ``daemon_types``, only takes services
of one type at a time (e.g. can't provide an OSD and RGW service at the same time), and
will only upgrade daemons belonging to those services. ``hosts`` can be combined
with ``daemon_types`` or ``services`` or provided on its own. The ``hosts`` parameter
follows the same format as the command line options for :ref:`orchestrator-cli-placement-spec`.
``limit`` takes an integer > 0 and provides a numerical limit on the number of
daemons cephadm will upgrade. ``limit`` can be combined with any of the other
parameters. For example, if you specify to upgrade daemons of type osd on host
Host1 with ``limit`` set to 3, cephadm will upgrade (up to) 3 osd daemons on
Host1.
Example: specifying daemon types and hosts:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph orch upgrade start --image <image-name> --daemon-types mgr,mon --hosts host1,host2
Example: specifying services and using limit:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph orch upgrade start --image <image-name> --services rgw.example1,rgw.example2 --limit 2
.. note::
Cephadm strictly enforces an order to the upgrade of daemons that is still present
in staggered upgrade scenarios. The current upgrade ordering is
``mgr -> mon -> crash -> osd -> mds -> rgw -> rbd-mirror -> cephfs-mirror -> iscsi -> nfs``.
If you specify parameters that would upgrade daemons out of order, the upgrade
command will block and note which daemons will be missed if you proceed.
.. note::
Upgrade commands with limiting parameters will validate the options before beginning the
upgrade, which may require pulling the new container image. Do not be surprised
if the upgrade start command takes a while to return when limiting parameters are provided.
.. note::
In staggered upgrade scenarios (when a limiting parameter is provided) monitoring
stack daemons including Prometheus and node-exporter are refreshed after the Manager
daemons have been upgraded. Do not be surprised if Manager upgrades thus take longer
than expected. Note that the versions of monitoring stack daemons may not change between
Ceph releases, in which case they are only redeployed.
Upgrading to a version that supports staggered upgrade from one that doesn't
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
While upgrading from a version that already supports staggered upgrades the process
simply requires providing the necessary arguments. However, if you wish to upgrade
to a version that supports staggered upgrade from one that does not, there is a
workaround. It requires first manually upgrading the Manager daemons and then passing
the limiting parameters as usual.
.. warning::
Make sure you have multiple running mgr daemons before attempting this procedure.
To start with, determine which Manager is your active one and which are standby. This
can be done in a variety of ways such as looking at the ``ceph -s`` output. Then,
manually upgrade each standby mgr daemon with:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph orch daemon redeploy mgr.example1.abcdef --image <new-image-name>
.. note::
If you are on a very early version of cephadm (early Octopus) the ``orch daemon redeploy``
command may not have the ``--image`` flag. In that case, you must manually set the
Manager container image ``ceph config set mgr container_image <new-image-name>`` and then
redeploy the Manager ``ceph orch daemon redeploy mgr.example1.abcdef``
At this point, a Manager fail over should allow us to have the active Manager be one
running the new version.
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph mgr fail
Verify the active Manager is now one running the new version. To complete the Manager
upgrading:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph orch upgrade start --image <new-image-name> --daemon-types mgr
You should now have all your Manager daemons on the new version and be able to
specify the limiting parameters for the rest of the upgrade.
