Pools
=======
When you first deploy a cluster without creating a pool, Ceph uses the default
pools for storing data. A pool provides you with:
- **Resilience**: You can set how many OSD are allowed to fail without losing data.
For replicated pools, it is the desired number of copies/replicas of an object.
A typical configuration stores an object and one additional copy
(i.e., ``size = 2``), but you can determine the number of copies/replicas.
For `erasure coded pools <../erasure-code>`_, it is the number of coding chunks
(i.e. ``m=2`` in the **erasure code profile**)
- **Placement Groups**: You can set the number of placement groups for the pool.
A typical configuration uses approximately 100 placement groups per OSD to
provide optimal balancing without using up too many computing resources. When
setting up multiple pools, be careful to ensure you set a reasonable number of
placement groups for both the pool and the cluster as a whole.
- **CRUSH Rules**: When you store data in a pool, a CRUSH ruleset mapped to the
pool enables CRUSH to identify a rule for the placement of the object
and its replicas (or chunks for erasure coded pools) in your cluster.
You can create a custom CRUSH rule for your pool.
- **Snapshots**: When you create snapshots with ``ceph osd pool mksnap``,
you effectively take a snapshot of a particular pool.
- **Set Ownership**: You can set a user ID as the owner of a pool.
To organize data into pools, you can list, create, and remove pools.
You can also view the utilization statistics for each pool.
List Pools
==========
To list your cluster's pools, execute::
ceph osd lspools
On a freshly installed cluster, only the ``rbd`` pool exists.
.. _createpool:
Create a Pool
=============
Before creating pools, refer to the `Pool, PG and CRUSH Config Reference`_.
Ideally, you should override the default value for the number of placement
groups in your Ceph configuration file, as the default is NOT ideal.
For details on placement group numbers refer to `setting the number of placement groups`_
For example::
osd pool default pg num = 100
osd pool default pgp num = 100
To create a pool, execute::
ceph osd pool create {pool-name} {pg-num} [{pgp-num}] [replicated] \
[crush-ruleset-name] [expected-num-objects]
ceph osd pool create {pool-name} {pg-num} {pgp-num} erasure \
[erasure-code-profile] [crush-ruleset-name] [expected_num_objects]
Where:
``{pool-name}``
:Description: The name of the pool. It must be unique.
:Type: String
:Required: Yes.
``{pg-num}``
:Description: The total number of placement groups for the pool. See `Placement
Groups`_ for details on calculating a suitable number. The
default value ``8`` is NOT suitable for most systems.
:Type: Integer
:Required: Yes.
:Default: 8
``{pgp-num}``
:Description: The total number of placement groups for placement purposes. This
**should be equal to the total number of placement groups**, except
for placement group splitting scenarios.
:Type: Integer
:Required: Yes. Picks up default or Ceph configuration value if not specified.
:Default: 8
``{replicated|erasure}``
:Description: The pool type which may either be **replicated** to
recover from lost OSDs by keeping multiple copies of the
objects or **erasure** to get a kind of
`generalized RAID5 <../erasure-code>`_ capability.
The **replicated** pools require more
raw storage but implement all Ceph operations. The
**erasure** pools require less raw storage but only
implement a subset of the available operations.
:Type: String
:Required: No.
:Default: replicated
``[crush-ruleset-name]``
:Description: The name of a CRUSH ruleset to use for this pool. The specified
ruleset must exist.
:Type: String
:Required: No.
:Default: For **replicated** pools it is the ruleset specified by the ``osd
pool default crush replicated ruleset`` config variable. This
ruleset must exist.
For **erasure** pools it is ``erasure-code`` if the ``default``
`erasure code profile`_ is used or ``{pool-name}`` otherwise. This
ruleset will be created implicitly if it doesn't exist already.
``[erasure-code-profile=profile]``
.. _erasure code profile: ../erasure-code-profile
:Description: For **erasure** pools only. Use the `erasure code profile`_. It
must be an existing profile as defined by
**osd erasure-code-profile set**.
:Type: String
:Required: No.
When you create a pool, set the number of placement groups to a reasonable value
(e.g., ``100``). Consider the total number of placement groups per OSD too.
Placement groups are computationally expensive, so performance will degrade when
you have many pools with many placement groups (e.g., 50 pools with 100
placement groups each). The point of diminishing returns depends upon the power
of the OSD host.
See `Placement Groups`_ for details on calculating an appropriate number of
placement groups for your pool.
.. _Placement Groups: ../placement-groups
``[expected-num-objects]``
:Description: The expected number of objects for this pool. By setting this value (
together with a negative **filestore merge threshold**), the PG folder
splitting would happen at the pool creation time, to avoid the latency
impact to do a runtime folder splitting.
:Type: Integer
:Required: No.
:Default: 0, no splitting at the pool creation time.
Set Pool Quotas
===============
You can set pool quotas for the maximum number of bytes and/or the maximum
number of objects per pool. ::
ceph osd pool set-quota {pool-name} [max_objects {obj-count}] [max_bytes {bytes}]
For example::
ceph osd pool set-quota data max_objects 10000
To remove a quota, set its value to ``0``.
Delete a Pool
=============
To delete a pool, execute::
ceph osd pool delete {pool-name} [{pool-name} --yes-i-really-really-mean-it]
If you created your own rulesets and rules for a pool you created, you should
consider removing them when you no longer need your pool::
ceph osd pool get {pool-name} crush_ruleset
If the ruleset was "123", for example, you can check the other pools like so::
ceph osd dump | grep "^pool" | grep "crush_ruleset 123"
If no other pools use that custom ruleset, then it's safe to delete that
ruleset from the cluster.
If you created users with permissions strictly for a pool that no longer
exists, you should consider deleting those users too::
ceph auth list | grep -C 5 {pool-name}
ceph auth del {user}
Rename a Pool
=============
To rename a pool, execute::
ceph osd pool rename {current-pool-name} {new-pool-name}
If you rename a pool and you have per-pool capabilities for an authenticated
user, you must update the user's capabilities (i.e., caps) with the new pool
name.

To show a pool's utilization statistics, execute::
rados df
Make a Snapshot of a Pool
=========================

Set the Number of Object Replicas
=================================
To set the number of object replicas on a replicated pool, execute the following::
ceph osd pool set {poolname} size {num-replicas}
.. important:: The ``{num-replicas}`` includes the object itself.
If you want the object and two copies of the object for a total of
three instances of the object, specify ``3``.
For example::
ceph osd pool set data size 3
You may execute this command for each pool. **Note:** An object might accept
I/Os in degraded mode with fewer than ``pool size`` replicas. To set a minimum
number of required replicas for I/O, you should use the ``min_size`` setting.
For example::
ceph osd pool set data min_size 2
This ensures that no object in the data pool will receive I/O with fewer than
``min_size`` replicas.
Get the Number of Object Replicas
=================================
To get the number of object replicas, execute the following::
ceph osd dump | grep 'replicated size'
Ceph will list the pools, with the ``replicated size`` attribute highlighted.
By default, ceph creates two replicas of an object (a total of three copies, or
a size of 3).
