Device Management
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Ceph tracks which hardware storage devices (e.g., HDDs, SSDs) are consumed by
|
|
which daemons, and collects health metrics about those devices in order to
|
|
provide tools to predict and/or automatically respond to hardware failure.
|
|
|
|
Device tracking
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
You can query which storage devices are in use with::
|
|
|
|
ceph device ls
|
|
|
|
You can also list devices by daemon or by host::
|
|
|
|
ceph device ls-by-daemon <daemon>
|
|
ceph device ls-by-host <host>
|
|
|
|
For any individual device, you can query information about its
|
|
location and how it is being consumed with::
|
|
|
|
ceph device info <devid>
|
|
|
|
Identifying physical devices
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can blink the drive LEDs on hardware enclosures to make the replacement of
|
|
failed disks easy and less error-prone. Use the following command::
|
|
|
|
device light on|off <devid> [ident|fault] [--force]
|
|
|
|
The ``<devid>`` parameter is the device identification. You can obtain this
|
|
information using the following command::
|
|
|
|
ceph device ls
|
|
|
|
The ``[ident|fault]`` parameter is used to set the kind of light to blink.
|
|
By default, the `identification` light is used.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
This command needs the Cephadm or the Rook `orchestrator <https://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/mgr/orchestrator/#orchestrator-cli-module>`_ module enabled.
|
|
The orchestrator module enabled is shown by executing the following command::
|
|
|
|
ceph orch status
|
|
|
|
Enabling monitoring
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Ceph can also monitor health metrics associated with your device. For
|
|
example, SATA hard disks implement a standard called SMART that
|
|
provides a wide range of internal metrics about the device's usage and
|
|
health, like the number of hours powered on, number of power cycles,
|
|
or unrecoverable read errors. Other device types like SAS and NVMe
|
|
implement a similar set of metrics (via slightly different standards).
|
|
All of these can be collected by Ceph via the ``smartctl`` tool.
|
|
|
|
You can enable or disable health monitoring with::
|
|
|
|
ceph device monitoring on
|
|
|
|
or::
|
|
|
|
ceph device monitoring off
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scraping
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
If monitoring is enabled, metrics will automatically be scraped at regular intervals. That interval can be configured with::
|
|
|
|
ceph config set mgr mgr/devicehealth/scrape_frequency <seconds>
|
|
|
|
The default is to scrape once every 24 hours.
|
|
|
|
You can manually trigger a scrape of all devices with::
|
|
|
|
ceph device scrape-health-metrics
|
|
|
|
A single device can be scraped with::
|
|
|
|
ceph device scrape-health-metrics <device-id>
|
|
|
|
Or a single daemon's devices can be scraped with::
|
|
|
|
ceph device scrape-daemon-health-metrics <who>
|
|
|
|
The stored health metrics for a device can be retrieved (optionally
|
|
for a specific timestamp) with::
|
|
|
|
ceph device get-health-metrics <devid> [sample-timestamp]
|
|
|
|
Failure prediction
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Ceph can predict life expectancy and device failures based on the
|
|
health metrics it collects. There are three modes:
|
|
|
|
* *none*: disable device failure prediction.
|
|
* *local*: use a pre-trained prediction model from the ceph-mgr daemon
|
|
* *cloud*: share device health and performance metrics an external
|
|
cloud service run by ProphetStor, using either their free service or
|
|
a paid service with more accurate predictions
|
|
|
|
The prediction mode can be configured with::
|
|
|
|
ceph config set global device_failure_prediction_mode <mode>
|
|
|
|
Prediction normally runs in the background on a periodic basis, so it
|
|
may take some time before life expectancy values are populated. You
|
|
can see the life expectancy of all devices in output from::
|
|
|
|
ceph device ls
|
|
|
|
You can also query the metadata for a specific device with::
|
|
|
|
ceph device info <devid>
|
|
|
|
You can explicitly force prediction of a device's life expectancy with::
|
|
|
|
ceph device predict-life-expectancy <devid>
|
|
|
|
If you are not using Ceph's internal device failure prediction but
|
|
have some external source of information about device failures, you
|
|
can inform Ceph of a device's life expectancy with::
|
|
|
|
ceph device set-life-expectancy <devid> <from> [<to>]
|
|
|
|
Life expectancies are expressed as a time interval so that
|
|
uncertainty can be expressed in the form of a wide interval. The
|
|
interval end can also be left unspecified.
|
|
|
|
Health alerts
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The ``mgr/devicehealth/warn_threshold`` controls how soon an expected
|
|
device failure must be before we generate a health warning.
|
|
|
|
The stored life expectancy of all devices can be checked, and any
|
|
appropriate health alerts generated, with::
|
|
|
|
ceph device check-health
|
|
|
|
Automatic Mitigation
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
If the ``mgr/devicehealth/self_heal`` option is enabled (it is by
|
|
default), then for devices that are expected to fail soon the module
|
|
will automatically migrate data away from them by marking the devices
|
|
"out".
|
|
|
|
The ``mgr/devicehealth/mark_out_threshold`` controls how soon an
|
|
expected device failure must be before we automatically mark an osd
|
|
"out".
