=======
|
|
As part of the activation process (either with :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm-activate`
|
|
or :ref:`ceph-volume-simple-activate`), systemd units will get enabled that
|
|
will use the OSD id and uuid as part of their name. These units will be run
|
|
when the system boots, and will proceed to activate their corresponding
|
|
volumes via their sub-command implementation.
|
|
|
|
The API for activation is a bit loose, it only requires two parts: the
|
|
subcommand to use and any extra meta information separated by a dash. This
|
|
convention makes the units look like::
|
|
|
|
ceph-volume@{command}-{extra metadata}
|
|
|
|
The *extra metadata* can be anything needed that the subcommand implementing
|
|
the processing might need. In the case of :ref:`ceph-volume-lvm` and
|
|
:ref:`ceph-volume-simple`, both look to consume the :term:`OSD id` and :term:`OSD uuid`,
|
|
but this is not a hard requirement, it is just how the sub-commands are
|
|
implemented.
|
|
|
|
Both the command and extra metadata gets persisted by systemd as part of the
|
|
*"instance name"* of the unit. For example an OSD with an ID of 0, for the
|
|
``lvm`` sub-command would look like::
|
|
|
|
systemctl enable ceph-volume@lvm-0-0A3E1ED2-DA8A-4F0E-AA95-61DEC71768D6
|
|
|
|
The enabled unit is a :term:`systemd oneshot` service, meant to start at boot
|
|
after the local filesystem is ready to be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Failure and Retries
|
|
-------------------
|
|
It is common to have failures when a system is coming up online. The devices
|
|
are sometimes not fully available and this unpredictable behavior may cause an
|
|
OSD to not be ready to be used.
|
|
|
|
There are two configurable environment variables used to set the retry
|
|
behavior:
|
|
|
|
* ``CEPH_VOLUME_SYSTEMD_TRIES``: Defaults to 30
|
|
* ``CEPH_VOLUME_SYSTEMD_INTERVAL``: Defaults to 5
|
|
|
|
The *"tries"* is a number that sets the maximum amount of times the unit will
|
|
attempt to activate an OSD before giving up.
|
|
|
|
The *"interval"* is a value in seconds that determines the waiting time before
|
|
initiating another try at activating the OSD.
