Adding/Removing Monitors
==========================
When you have a cluster up and running, you may add or remove monitors
from the cluster at runtime.
Adding Monitors
===============
Ceph monitors are light-weight processes that maintain a master copy of the
cluster map. You can run a cluster with 1 monitor. We recommend at least 3
monitors for a production cluster. Ceph monitors use PAXOS to establish
consensus about the master cluster map, which requires a majority of
monitors running to establish a quorum for consensus about the cluster map
(e.g., 1; 3 out of 5; 4 out of 6; etc.).
Since monitors are light-weight, it is possible to run them on the same
host as an OSD; however, we recommend running them on separate hosts.
.. important:: A *majority* of monitors in your cluster must be able to
reach each other in order to establish a quorum.
Deploy your Hardware
--------------------
If you are adding a new host when adding a new monitor, see `Hardware
Recommendations`_ for details on minimum recommendations for monitor hardware.
To add a monitor host to your cluster, first make sure you have an up-to-date
version of Linux installed (typically Ubuntu 12.04 precise).
Add your monitor host to a rack in your cluster, connect it to the network
and ensure that it has network connectivity.
.. _Hardware Recommendations: ../../install/hardware-recommendations
Install the Required Software
-----------------------------
For manually deployed clusters, you must install Ceph packages
manually. See `Installing Debian/Ubuntu Packages`_ for details.
You should configure SSH to a user with password-less authentication
and root permissions.
.. _Installing Debian/Ubuntu Packages: ../../install/debian
For clusters deployed with Chef, create a `chef user`_, `configure
SSH keys`_, `install Ruby`_ and `install the Chef client`_ on your host. See
`Installing Chef`_ for details.
.. _chef user: ../../install/chef#createuser
.. _configure SSH keys: ../../install/chef#genkeys
.. _install the Chef client: ../../install/chef#installchef

Adding a Monitor (Manual)
-------------------------
This procedure creates a ``ceph-mon`` data directory, retrieves the monitor map
and monitor keyring, and adds a ``ceph-mon`` daemon to your cluster. If
this results in only two monitor daemons, you may add more monitors by
repeating this procedure until you have a sufficient number of ``ceph-mon``
daemons to achieve a quorum.
#. Create the default directory on your new monitor. ::
ssh {new-mon-host}
sudo mkdir /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-{mon-letter}
#. Create a temporary directory ``{tmp}`` to keep the files needed during
this process. This directory should be different from monitor's default
directory created in the previous step, and can be removed after all the
steps are taken. ::
mkdir {tmp}
#. Retrieve the keyring for your monitors, where ``{tmp}`` is the path to
the retrieved keyring, and ``{filename}`` is the name of the file containing
the retrieved monitor key. ::
ceph auth get mon. -o {tmp}/{filename}
#. Retrieve the monitor map, where ``{tmp}`` is the path to
the retrieved monitor map, and ``{filename}`` is the name of the file
containing the retrieved monitor monitor map. ::
ceph mon getmap -o {tmp}/{filename}
#. Prepare the monitor's data directory created in the first step. You must
specify the path to the monitor map so that you can retrieve the
information about a quorum of monitors and their ``fsid``. You must also
specify a path to the monitor keyring::
sudo ceph-mon -i {mon-letter} --mkfs --monmap {tmp}/{filename} --keyring {tmp}/{filename}
#. Add a ``[mon.{letter}]`` entry for your new monitor in your ``ceph.conf`` file. ::
[mon.c]
host = new-mon-host
addr = ip-addr:6789
#. Add the new monitor to the list of monitors for you cluster (runtime). This enables
other nodes to use this monitor during their initial startup. ::
ceph mon add <name> <ip>[:<port>]\n";
#. Start the new monitor and it will automatically join the cluster.
The daemon needs to know which address to bind to, either via
``--public-addr {ip:port}`` or by setting ``mon addr`` in the
appropriate section of ``ceph.conf``. For example::
ceph-mon -i newname --public-addr {ip:port}
Removing Monitors
=================
When you remove monitors from a cluster, consider that Ceph monitors use
PAXOS to establish consensus about the master cluster map. You must have
a sufficient number of monitors to establish a quorum for consensus about
the cluster map.
Removing a Monitor (Manual)
---------------------------
This procedure removes a ``ceph-mon`` daemon from your cluster. If this
procedure results in only two monitor daemons, you may add or remove another
monitor until you have a number of ``ceph-mon`` daemons that can achieve a
quorum.
#. Stop the monitor. ::
service ceph -a stop mon.{mon-letter}
#. Remove the monitor from the cluster. ::
ceph mon remove {mon-letter}
#. Remove the monitor entry from ``ceph.conf``.
Removing Monitors from an Unhealthy Cluster
-------------------------------------------
This procedure removes a ``ceph-mon`` daemon from an unhealhty cluster--i.e.,
a cluster that has placement groups that are persistently not ``active + clean``.
#. Identify a surviving monitor. ::
ceph mon dump
#. Navigate to a surviving monitor's ``monmap`` directory. ::
ssh {mon-host}
cd /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-{mon-letter}/monmap
#. List the directory contents and identify the last commmitted map.
Directory contents will show a numeric list of maps. ::
ls
1 2 3 4 5 first_committed last_committed last_pn latest
#. Identify the most recently committed map. ::
sudo cat last_committed
#. Copy the most recently committed file to a temporary directory. ::
cp /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-{mon-letter}/monmap/{last_committed} /tmp/surviving_map
#. Remove the non-surviving monitors. For example, if you have three monitors,
``mon.a``, ``mon.b``, and ``mon.c``, where only ``mon.a`` will survive, follow
the example below::
monmaptool /tmp/surviving_map --rm {mon-letter}
#for example
monmaptool /tmp/surviving_map --rm b
monmaptool /tmp/surviving_map --rm c
#. Stop all monitors. ::
service ceph -a stop mon
#. Inject the surviving map with the removed monitors into the surviving monitors.
For example, to inject a map into monitor ``mon.a``, follow the example below::
ceph-mon -i {mon-letter} --inject-monmap {map-path}
#for example
ceph-mon -i a --inject-monmap /etc/surviving_map
