[Starlingx-discuss] ceph ops enabling in sysinv-conductor

Hi Bob

1, we could update default pg num in sysinv/helm/rbd_provisioner.py. But when platform-integ-apps applied, maybe user has not add osded, so the default pg num is still for user reference.
And for user override, I think it should add in ceph-pool-audit, stx-platform-helm/helm-charts/ceph-pools-audit/templates/job-ceph-pools-audit.yaml. but pg num update will make rebalance which cause management network jam.

2, the above case is only for system application. Any more alarm for PG number, request user should manage.

BR!

Hi Martin,

In STX 1.0,  we ran bare-metal openstack services for which we created and managed specific ceph storage pools for glance, cinder, nova,  and swift. In this environment, we managed their creation and parameters (PGs and quotas) as the cluster scaled up.

With the move to containerizing the openstack services in STX 2.0, pool creation is now driven mostly by helm charts packaged into an application (radosgw pools are the exception). Since we don’t know what additional application(s) will be deployed and what pools may be created, we are currently longer managing pools as in STX 1.0.

These related functions in sysinv/conductor/ceph.py are remaining from STX 1.0 and need to be removed and/or repurposed to meet any new requirements.

I took a look at the LP logs and it looks like we only have a single application applied: platform-integ-apps. This currently results in a single pool for 6 OSDs

  cluster:
    id:     6231df84-33be-4aa4-82ea-7408e0f2421c
    health: HEALTH_WARN
            too few PGs per OSD (21 < min 30)

  services:
    mon: 3 daemons, quorum controller-0,controller-1,storage-0
    mgr: controller-0(active), standbys: controller-1
    osd: 6 osds: 6 up, 6 in

  data:
    pools:   1 pools, 64 pgs
    objects: 0  objects, 0 B
    usage:   645 MiB used, 5.4 TiB / 5.4 TiB avail
    pgs:     64 active+clean


Since every installation will install platform-integ-apps, I think we should do the following:

  1.  Update the chunk_size calculation in sysinv/helm/rbd_provisioner.py to be dynamically calculated based on the number OSDs provisioned in the cluster. As this may be the only pool created, it should meet the minimum size characteristics to avoid a ceph warning.
  2.  Update the rbd-provisioner helm chart to support explicitly setting the pg_num based on the chunk size. Do this to allow setting a user override for the chunk size so that we can re-apply platform-integ-apps and explicitly set new values.

Regards,
Bob

Hi Bob

I find some many function in sysinv-conductor/ceph.py, which could manage ceph cluster, such as create/delete/configure pool, audit pg etc.
But why these function is not enabled? Or plan to request user to manage ceph cluster, such as create pool and configure pg num?

Now I checked this issue, pg too few, as user maybe deploy few osd, which make alarm. So for such issue, request user to decide correct  pg num or user could ignore?
