Description

cephadm is a command line tool to manage the local host for the cephadm orchestrator.

It provides commands to investigate and modify the state of the current host.

cephadm is not required on all hosts, but useful when investigating a particular daemon.

Options

--image IMAGE

container image. Can also be set via the “CEPHADM_IMAGE” env var (default: None)

--docker

use docker instead of podman (default: False)

--data-dir DATA_DIR

base directory for daemon data (default: /var/lib/ceph)

--log-dir LOG_DIR

base directory for daemon logs (default: /var/log/ceph)

--logrotate-dir LOGROTATE_DIR

location of logrotate configuration files (default: /etc/logrotate.d)

--unit-dir UNIT_DIR

base directory for systemd units (default: /etc/systemd/system)

--verbose, -v

Show debug-level log messages (default: False)

--timeout TIMEOUT

timeout in seconds (default: None)

--retry RETRY

max number of retries (default: 10)

--no-container-init

do not run podman/docker with --init (default: False)

Commands

add-repo

configure local package repository to also include the ceph repository.

Arguments:

  • [--release RELEASE] use latest version of a named release (e.g., octopus)

  • [--version VERSION] use specific upstream version (x.y.z)

  • [--dev DEV] use specified bleeding edge build from git branch or tag

  • [--dev-commit DEV_COMMIT] use specified bleeding edge build from git commit

  • [--gpg-url GPG_URL] specify alternative GPG key location

  • [--repo-url REPO_URL] specify alternative repo location

adopt

  • [--cluster CLUSTER] cluster name

  • [--legacy-dir LEGACY_DIR] base directory for legacy daemon data

  • [--config-json CONFIG_JSON] Additional configuration information in JSON format

  • [--skip-firewalld] Do not configure firewalld

  • [--skip-pull] do not pull the latest image before adopting

Configuration:

When starting the shell, cephadm looks for configuration in the following order. Only the first values found are used:

  1. An explicit, user provided path to a config file (-c/--config option)

  2. Config file for daemon specified with --name parameter (/var/lib/ceph/<fsid>/<daemon-name>/config)

  3. /var/lib/ceph/<fsid>/config/ceph.conf if it exists

  4. The config file for a mon daemon (/var/lib/ceph/<fsid>/mon.<mon-id>/config) if it exists

  5. Finally: fallback to the default file /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
