ceph-disk -- Ceph disk preparation and activation utility for OSD
===================================================================
.. program:: ceph-disk
Synopsis
========
| **ceph-disk** **prepare** [--cluster *clustername*] [--cluster-uuid *uuid*]
[--fs-type *xfs|ext4|btrfs*] [*data-path*] [*journal-path*]
| **ceph-disk** **activate** [*data-path*] [--activate-key *path*]
| **ceph-disk** **activate-all**
| **ceph-disk** **list**
Description
===========
:program:`ceph-disk` is a utility that can prepare and activate a disk, partition or
directory as a Ceph OSD. It is run directly or triggered by :program:`ceph-deploy`
or ``udev``. It can also be triggered by other deployment utilities like ``Chef``,
``Juju``, ``Puppet`` etc.
It actually automates the multiple steps involved in manual creation and start
of an OSD into two steps of preparing and activating the OSD by using the
subcommands ``prepare`` and ``activate``.
Subcommands
============
prepare
--------
Prepare a directory, disk or drive for a Ceph OSD. It creates a GPT partition,
marks the partition with Ceph type ``uuid``, creates a file system, marks the
file system as ready for Ceph consumption, uses entire partition and adds a new
partition to the journal disk. It is run directly or triggered by
:program:`ceph-deploy`.
Usage::
ceph-disk prepare --cluster [cluster-name] --cluster-uuid [uuid] --fs-type
[ext4|xfs|btrfs] [data-path] [journal-path]
Other options like :option:`--osd-uuid`, :option:`--journal-uuid`,
:option:`--zap-disk`, :option:`--data-dir`, :option:`--data-dev`,
:option:`--journal-file`, :option:`--journal-dev`, :option:`--dmcrypt`
and :option:`--dmcrypt-key-dir` can also be used with the subcommand.
activate
--------
Activate the Ceph OSD. It mounts the volume in a temporary location, allocates
an OSD id (if needed), remounts in the correct location
``/var/lib/ceph/osd/$cluster-$id`` and starts ceph-osd. It is triggered by
``udev`` when it sees the OSD GPT partition type or on ceph service start with
``ceph disk activate-all``. It is also run directly or triggered by
:program:`ceph-deploy`.
Usage::
ceph-disk activate [PATH]
Here, [PATH] is path to a block device or a directory.
An additional option :option:`--activate-key` has to be used with this
subcommand when a copy of ``/var/lib/ceph/bootstrap-osd/{cluster}.keyring``
isn't present in the OSD node.
Usage::
ceph-disk activate [PATH] [--activate-key PATH]
Another option :option:`--mark-init` can also be used with this subcommand.
``--mark-init`` provides init system to manage the OSD directory.
activate-journal
----------------
Activate an OSD via it's journal device. ``udev`` triggers
``ceph-disk activate-journal <dev>`` based on the partition type.
Usage::
ceph-disk activate-journal [DEV]
Here, [DEV] is the path to a journal block device.
Others options like :option:`--activate-key` and :option:`--mark-init` can also
be used with this subcommand.
``--mark-init`` provides init system to manage the OSD directory.
Usage::
ceph-disk activate-journal [--activate-key PATH] [--mark-init INITSYSTEM] [DEV]
activate-all
------------
Activate all tagged OSD partitions. ``activate-all`` relies on
``/dev/disk/by-parttype-uuid/$typeuuid.$uuid`` to find all partitions. Special
``udev`` rules are installed to create these links. It is triggered on ceph
service start or run directly.
Usage::
ceph-disk activate-all
Others options like :option:`--activate-key` and :option:`--mark-init` can
also be used with this subcommand.
``--mark-init`` provides init system to manage the OSD directory.
Usage::
ceph-disk activate-all [--activate-key PATH] [--mark-init INITSYSTEM]
list
----
List disk partitions and Ceph OSDs. It is run directly or triggered by
:program:`ceph-deploy`.
Usage::
ceph-disk list
suppress-activate
-----------------
Suppress activate on a device (prefix). Mark devices that you don't want to
activate with a file like ``/var/lib/ceph/tmp/suppress-activate.sdb`` where the
last bit is the sanitized device name (/dev/X without the /dev/ prefix). A
function ``is_suppressed()`` checks for and matches a prefix (/dev/). It means
suppressing sdb will stop activate on sdb1, sdb2, etc.
Usage::
ceph-disk suppress-activate [PATH]
Here, [PATH] is path to a block device or a directory.
unsuppress-activate
-------------------
Stop suppressing activate on a device (prefix). It is used to activate a device
that was earlier kept deactivated using ``suppress-activate``.
Usage::
ceph-disk unsuppress-activate [PATH]
Here, [PATH] is path to a block device or a directory.
zap
---
Zap/erase/destroy a device's partition table and contents. It actually uses
``sgdisk`` and it's option ``--zap-all`` to destroy both GPT and MBR data
structures so that the disk becomes suitable for repartitioning. ``sgdisk``
then uses ``--mbrtogpt`` to convert the MBR or BSD disklabel disk to a GPT
disk. The ``prepare`` subcommand can now be executed which will create a new
GPT partition. It is also run directly or triggered by :program:`ceph-deploy`.
Usage::
ceph-disk zap [DEV]
Here, [DEV] is path to a block device.
Options
=======
.. option:: --prepend-to-path PATH
Prepend PATH to $PATH for backward compatibility (default ``/usr/bin``).
.. option:: --statedir PATH
Directory in which ceph configuration is preserved (default ``/usr/lib/ceph``).
.. option:: --sysconfdir PATH
Directory in which ceph configuration files are found (default ``/etc/ceph``).
.. option:: --cluster
Provide name of the ceph cluster in which the OSD is being prepared.
.. option:: --cluster-uuid
Provide uuid of the ceph cluster in which the OSD is being prepared.
.. option:: --fs-type
Provide the filesytem type for the OSD. e.g. ``xfs/ext4/btrfs``.
.. option:: --osd-uuid
Unique OSD uuid to assign to the disk.
.. option:: --journal-uuid
Unique uuid to assign to the journal.
.. option:: --zap-disk
Destroy the partition table and content of a disk.
.. option:: --data-dir
Verify that ``[data-path]`` is of a directory.
.. option:: --data-dev
Verify that ``[data-path]`` is of a block device.
.. option:: --journal-file
Verify that journal is a file.
.. option:: --journal-dev
Verify that journal is a block device.
.. option:: --dmcrypt
Encrypt ``[data-path]`` and/or journal devices with ``dm-crypt``.
.. option:: --dmcrypt-key-dir
Directory where ``dm-crypt`` keys are stored.
.. option:: --activate-key
Use when a copy of ``/var/lib/ceph/bootstrap-osd/{cluster}.keyring`` isn't
present in the OSD node. Suffix the option by the path to the keyring.
.. option:: --mark-init
Provide init system to manage the OSD directory.
