Orchestrator CLI

This module provides a command line interface (CLI) to orchestrator modules (ceph-mgr modules which interface with external orchestation services)

As the orchestrator CLI unifies different external orchestrators, a common nomenclature for the orchestrator module is needed.

host

hostname (not DNS name) of the physical host. Not the podname, container name, or hostname inside the container.

service type

The type of the service. e.g., nfs, mds, osd, mon, rgw, mgr, iscsi

service

A logical service, Typically comprised of multiple service instances on multiple hosts for HA

  • fs_name for mds type

  • rgw_zone for rgw type

  • ganesha_cluster_id for nfs type

service instance

A single instance of a service.  Usually a daemon, but maybe not (e.g., might be a kernel service like LIO or knfsd or whatever)

This identifier should uniquely identify the instance

daemon

A running process on a host; use “service instance” instead

The relation between the names is the following:

  • a service belongs to a service type

  • a service instance belongs to a service type

  • a service instance belongs to a single service group

Configuration

To enable the orchestrator, please select the orchestrator module to use with the set backend command:

ceph orchestrator set backend <module>

For example, to enable the Rook orchestrator module and use it with the CLI:

ceph mgr module enable rook
ceph orchestrator set backend rook

You can then check backend is properly configured:

ceph orchestrator status

Disable the Orchestrator

To disable the orchestrator again, use the empty string "":

ceph orchestrator set backend ""``
ceph mgr module disable rook

Usage

Warning

The orchestrator CLI is unfinished and work in progress. Some commands will not exist, or return a different result.

Note

Orchestrator modules may only implement a subset of the commands listed below. Also, the implementation of the commands are orchestrator module dependent and will differ between implementations.

Status

ceph orchestrator status

Show current orchestrator mode and high-level status (whether the module able to talk to it)

Also show any in-progress actions.

Host Management

List hosts associated with the cluster:

ceph orchestrator host ls

Add and remove hosts:

ceph orchestrator host add <host>
ceph orchestrator host rm <host>

OSD Management

List Devices

Print a list of discovered devices, grouped by node and optionally filtered to a particular node:

ceph orchestrator device ls [--host=...] [--refresh]

Create OSDs

Create OSDs on a group of devices on a single host:

ceph orchestrator osd create <host>:<drive>
ceph orchestrator osd create -i <path-to-drive-group.json>

The output of osd create is not specified and may vary between orchestrator backends.

Where drive.group.json is a JSON file containing the fields defined in orchestrator.DriveGroupSpec

Decommission an OSD

ceph orchestrator osd rm <osd-id> [osd-id...]

Removes one or more OSDs from the cluster and the host, if the OSDs are marked as destroyed.

Monitor and manager management

Creates or removes MONs or MGRs from the cluster. Orchestrator may return an error if it doesn’t know how to do this transition.

Update the number of monitor nodes:

ceph orchestrator mon update <num> [host, host:network...]

Each host can optionally specificy a network for the monitor to listen on.

Update the number of manager nodes:

ceph orchestrator mgr update <num> [host...]

Service Status

Print a list of services known to the orchestrator. The list can be limited to services on a particular host with the optional –host parameter and/or services of a particular type via optional –type parameter (mon, osd, mgr, mds, rgw):

ceph orchestrator service ls [--host host] [--svc_type type] [--refresh]

Discover the status of a particular service:

ceph orchestrator service ls --svc_type type --svc_id <name> [--refresh]

Query the status of a particular service instance (mon, osd, mds, rgw). For OSDs the id is the numeric OSD ID, for MDS services it is the filesystem name:

ceph orchestrator service-instance status <type> <instance-name> [--refresh]

Stateless services (MDS/RGW/NFS/rbd-mirror/iSCSI)

The orchestrator is not responsible for configuring the services. Please look into the corresponding documentation for details.

The name parameter is an identifier of the group of instances:

  • a CephFS filesystem for a group of MDS daemons,

  • a zone name for a group of RGWs

Sizing: the size parameter gives the number of daemons in the cluster (e.g. the number of MDS daemons for a particular CephFS filesystem).

Creating/growing/shrinking/removing services:

ceph orchestrator {mds,rgw} update <name> <size> [host…]
ceph orchestrator {mds,rgw} add <name>
ceph orchestrator nfs update <name> <size> [host…]
ceph orchestrator nfs add <name> <pool> [--namespace=<namespace>]
ceph orchestrator {mds,rgw,nfs} rm <name>

e.g., ceph orchestrator mds update myfs 3 host1 host2 host3

Start/stop/reload:

ceph orchestrator service {stop,start,reload} <type> <name>

ceph orchestrator service-instance {start,stop,reload} <type> <instance-name>
