Ceph
Warning | |
---|---|
Ceph is not maintained anymore. |
Ceph is a distributed object store and file system designed to provide excellent performance, reliability and scalability. - See more at: http://ceph.com/
This pages gives information with regards to the managed Ceph service provided by Grid'5000.
About Ceph
The following documentation show the architecture: https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/architecture/
Grid'5000 Deployment
Sites | Size | Configuration | Rados | RBD | CephFS | RadosGW |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Rennes | ~ 9TB | 16 OSDs on 4 nodes | ||||
Nantes | ~ 7TB | 12 OSDs on 4 nodes |
Configuration
Generate your key
In order to access to the object store you will need a Cephx key. See : https://api.grid5000.fr/sid/sites/rennes/storage/ceph/ui/
Click on Generate a Cephx Key. A new key is generated.
Your key is now available from the frontends :
[client.jdoe] key = AQBwknVUwAPAIRAACddyuVTuP37M55s2aVtPrg==
Note : Replace jdoe
by your login and rennes
by nantes if your experiment is at Nantes.
Create/Update/Delete Ceph pools
Requirement : Generate your key
Manage your Ceph pools from the Grid'5000 Ceph frontend :
- https://api.grid5000.fr/sid/sites/rennes/storage/ceph/ui/
- https://api.grid5000.fr/sid/sites/nantes/storage/ceph/ui/
Currently each users are limited to 4 pools.
Replication size
- 1 : No replication (not secured, most efficient for write operations, not recommended : one disk crash and all datas are lost)
- n : One primary object + n-1 replicas (more security, less efficient for write operations)
Note | |
---|---|
See https://ceph.io/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/weil-thesis.pdf (page 130) |
You can edit the replication size by clicking on the replication size value. If the new value is greater than the old value, objects will automatically be replicated. Depending the amount of objects this operation will stress the Ceph cluster and take more or less time.
Quota
Quota is currently limited to 2TB per pools. You can change this quota at any time by clicking on the quota value, so prefer to use a small/realistic quota first.
Expiration date
The default expiration date is limited to 2 months. You can extend the expiration date at any time by clicking on the expiration date value.
Configure Ceph on clients
On the frontend or a node with standard environment
Create a ceph configuration file ~/.ceph/config
:
- For Nantes :
[global] mon host = ceph0,ceph1,ceph2 keyring = /home/<login>/.ceph/ceph.client.<login>.keyring
- For Rennes :
[global] mon host = ceph0,ceph1,ceph2 keyring = /home/<login>/.ceph/ceph.client.<login>.keyring
Create a ceph keyring file ~/.ceph/ceph.client.
$USER
.keyring
with your keyring :
frontend :
|
curl -k https://api.grid5000.fr/sid/sites/rennes/storage/ceph/auths/$USER.keyring > ~/.ceph/ceph.client.$USER.keyring |
Note : Replace rennes by nantes if your are at Nantes.
export CEPH_CONF=~/.ceph/config export CEPH_ARGS="--id $USER"
Note : maybe a good idea to export CEPH_CONF and CEPH_ARGS in your ~/.bashrc
or ~/.zshrc
file.

RBD (Rados Block Device)
Requierement : Create a Ceph pool • Configure Ceph on client
Create a Rados Block Device
Warning | |
---|---|
Ceph server release is older than frontend. For the moment we have to force "--image-format=1". Which create the warning "rbd: image format 1 is deprecated" |
Exemple :
$ rbd -p pmorillo_rbd create datas --size 4096 $ rbd -p pmorillo_rbd ls datas $ rbd -p pmorillo_rbd info datas rbd image 'datas': size 4096 MB in 1024 objects order 22 (4096 kB objects) block_name_prefix: rb.0.604e.238e1f29 format: 1
Note : rbd -p pmorillo_rbd info datas is equivalent to rbd info pmorillo_rbd/datas
Create filesystem and mount RBD
Create Ceph configuration file /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
:
[global] mon host = ceph0,ceph1,ceph2
Get CephX key from the frontend :
frennes $ curl -k https://api.grid5000.fr/sid/sites/rennes/storage/ceph/auths/$USER.keyring | ssh root@deployed_node
"cat - > /etc/ceph/ceph.client.$USER.keyring"
Exemple :
rbd --id pmorillo map pmorillo_rbd/datas
Exemple :
rbd --id pmorillo showmapped id pool image snap device 0 pmorillo_rbd datas - /dev/rbd0
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 15G 1.6G 13G 11% / ... /dev/sda5 525G 70M 498G 1% /tmp /dev/rbd0 3.9G 8.0M 3.6G 1% /mnt/rbd
Note : To map rbd at boot time, use /etc/ceph/rbdmap
