Developing with cephadm
=======================
There are several ways to develop with cephadm. Which you use depends
on what you're trying to accomplish.
vstart --cephadm
================
- Start a cluster with vstart, with cephadm configured
- Manage any additional daemons with cephadm
In this case, the mon and manager at a minimum are running in the usual
vstart way, not managed by cephadm. But cephadm is enabled and the local
host is added, so you can deploy additional daemons or add additional hosts.
This works well for developing cephadm itself, because any mgr/cephadm
or cephadm/cephadm code changes can be applied by kicking ceph-mgr
with ``ceph mgr fail x``. (When the mgr (re)starts, it loads the
cephadm/cephadm script into memory.)
::
MON=1 MGR=1 OSD=0 MDS=0 ../src/vstart.sh -d -n -x --cephadm
- ``~/.ssh/id_dsa[.pub]`` is used as the cluster key. It is assumed that
this key is authorized to ssh with no passphrase to root@`hostname`.
- cephadm does not try to manage any daemons started by vstart.sh (any
nonzero number in the environment variables). No service spec is defined
for mon or mgr.
- You'll see health warnings from cephadm about stray daemons--that's because
the vstart-launched daemons aren't controlled by cephadm.
- The default image is ``quay.io/ceph-ci/ceph:master``, but you can change
this by passing ``-o container_image=...`` or ``ceph config set global container_image ...``.
cstart and cpatch
=================
The ``cstart.sh`` script will launch a cluster using cephadm and put the
conf and keyring in your build dir, so that the ``bin/ceph ...`` CLI works
(just like with vstart). The ``ckill.sh`` script will tear it down.
- A unique but stable fsid is stored in ``fsid`` (in the build dir).
- The mon port is random, just like with vstart.
- The container image is ``quay.io/ceph-ci/ceph:$tag`` where $tag is
the first 8 chars of the fsid.
- If the container image doesn't exist yet when you run cstart for the
first time, it is built with cpatch.
There are a few advantages here:
- The cluster is a "normal" cephadm cluster that looks and behaves
just like a user's cluster would. In contract, vstart and teuthology
clusters tend to be special in subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways.
To start a test cluster::
sudo ../src/cstart.sh
The last line of this will be a line you can cut+paste to update the
container image. For instance::
sudo ../src/script/cpatch -t quay.io/ceph-ci/ceph:8f509f4e
By default, cpatch will patch everything it can think of from the local
build dir into the container image. If you are working on a specific
part of the system, though, can you get away with smaller changes so that
cpatch runs faster. For instance::
sudo ../src/script/cpatch -t quay.io/ceph-ci/ceph:8f509f4e --py
will update the mgr modules (minus the dashboard). Or::
sudo ../src/script/cpatch -t quay.io/ceph-ci/ceph:8f509f4e --core
will do most binaries and libraries. Pass ``-h`` to cpatch for all options.
Once the container is updated, you can refresh/restart daemons by bouncing
them with::
sudo systemctl restart ceph-`cat fsid`.target
When you're done, you can tear down the cluster with::
sudo ../src/ckill.sh # or,
sudo ../src/cephadm/cephadm rm-cluster --force --fsid `cat fsid`
Note regarding network calls from CLI handlers
==============================================
Executing any cephadm CLI commands like ``ceph orch ls`` will block the
mon command handler thread within the MGR, thus preventing any concurrent
CLI calls. Note that pressing ``^C`` will not resolve this situation,
as *only* the client will be aborted, but not execution of the command
within the orchestrator manager module itself. This means, cephadm will
be completely unresponsive until the execution of the CLI handler is
fully completed. Note that even ``ceph orch ps`` will not respond while
another handler is executing.
This means we should do very few synchronous calls to remote hosts.
As a guideline, cephadm should do at most ``O(1)`` network calls in CLI handlers.
Everything else should be done asynchronously in other threads, like ``serve()``.
