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 Check.png Check.png Fail.png Fail.png
Nantes ~ 7TB 12 OSDs on 4 nodes Check.png Check.png Fail.png Fail.png

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 :

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)

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 :

Terminal.png frontend:

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)

Create a Rados Block Device

Terminal.png frontend:
rbd --pool jdoe_rbd create <rbd_name> --size <MB>
Warning.png 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"

Terminal.png frontend:
rbd --pool jdoe_rbd ls
Terminal.png frontend:
rbd --pool jdoe_rbd info <rbd_name>

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
