Ceph formula
============
Ceph provides extraordinary data storage scalability. Thousands of client
hosts or KVMs accessing petabytes to exabytes of data. Each one of your
applications can use the object, block or file system interfaces to the same
RADOS cluster simultaneously, which means your Ceph storage system serves as a
flexible foundation for all of your data storage needs.
Use salt-formula-linux for initial disk partitioning.
Daemons
--------
Ceph uses several daemons to handle data and cluster state. Each daemon type requires different computing capacity and hardware optimization.
These daemons are currently supported by formula:
* MON (`ceph.mon`)
* OSD (`ceph.osd`)
* RGW (`ceph.radosgw`)
Architecture decisions
-----------------------
Please refer to upstream achritecture documents before designing your cluster. Solid understanding of Ceph principles is essential for making architecture decisions described bellow.
http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/architecture/
* Ceph version
There is 3 or 4 stable releases every year and many of nighty/dev release. You should decide which version will be used since the only stable releases are recommended for production. Some of the releases are marked LTS (Long Term Stable) and these releases receive bugfixed for longer period - usually until next LTS version is released.
* Number of MON daemons
Use 1 MON daemon for testing, 3 MONs for smaller production clusters and 5 MONs for very large production cluster. There is no need to have more than 5 MONs in normal environment because there isn't any significant benefit in running more than 5 MONs. Ceph require MONS to form quorum so you need to heve more than 50% of the MONs up and running to have fully operational cluster. Every I/O operation will stop once less than 50% MONs is availabe because they can't form quorum.
* Number of PGs
Placement groups are providing mappping between stored data and OSDs. It is necessary to calculate number of PGs because there should be stored decent amount of PGs on each OSD. Please keep in mind *decreasing number of PGs* isn't possible and *increading* can affect cluster performance.
http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rados/operations/placement-groups/
http://ceph.com/pgcalc/
* Daemon colocation
It is recommended to dedicate nodes for MONs and RWG since colocation can have and influence on cluster operations. Howerver, small clusters can be running MONs on OSD node but it is critical to have enough of resources for MON daemons because they are the most important part of the cluster.
Installing RGW on node with other daemons isn't recommended because RGW daemon usually require a lot of bandwith and it harm cluster health.
* Store type (Bluestore/Filestore)
Recent version of Ceph support Bluestore as storage backend and backend should be used if available.
http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rados/configuration/bluestore-config-ref/
* Block.db location for Bluestore
There are two ways to setup block.db:
* **Colocated** block.db partition is created on the same disk as partition for the data. This setup is easier for installation and it doesn't require any other disk to be used. However, colocated setup is significantly slower than dedicated)
* **Dedicate** block.db is placed on different disk than data (or into partition). This setup can deliver much higher performance than colocated but it require to have more disks in servers. Block.db drives should be carefully selected because high I/O and durability is required.
* Block.wal location for Bluestore
There are two ways to setup block.wal - stores just the internal journal (write-ahead log):
* **Colocated** block.wal uses free space of the block.db device.
* **Dedicate** block.wal is placed on different disk than data (better put into partition as the size can be small) and possibly block.db device. This setup can deliver much higher performance than colocated but it require to have more disks in servers. Block.wal drives should be carefully selected because high I/O and durability is required.
* Journal location for Filestore
There are two ways to setup journal:
* **Colocated** journal is created on the same disk as partition for the data. This setup is easier for installation and it doesn't require any other disk to be used. However, colocated setup is significantly slower than dedicated)
* **Dedicate** journal is placed on different disk than data (or into partition). This setup can deliver much higher performance than colocated but it require to have more disks in servers. Journal drives should be carefully selected because high I/O and durability is required.
* Cluster and public network
Ceph cluster is accessed using network and thus you need to have decend capacity to handle all the client. There are two networks required for cluster: **public** network and cluster network. Public network is used for client connections and MONs and OSDs are listening on this network. Second network ic called **cluster** networks and this network is used for communication between OSDs.
Both networks should have dedicated interfaces, bonding interfaces and dedicating vlans on bonded interfaces isn't allowed. Good practise is dedicate more throughput for the cluster network because cluster traffic is more important than client traffic.
* Pool parameters (size, min_size, type)
You should setup each pool according to it's expected usage, at least `min_size` and `size` and pool type should be considered.
* Cluster monitoring
* Hardware
Please refer to upstream hardware recommendation guide for general information about hardware.
Ceph servers are required to fulfil special requirements becauce load generated by Ceph can be diametrically opposed to common load.

Ceph mon (control) roles
------------------------
Monitors: A Ceph Monitor maintains maps of the cluster state, including the
monitor map, the OSD map, the Placement Group (PG) map, and the CRUSH map.
Ceph maintains a history (called an epoch”) of each state change in the Ceph
Monitors, Ceph OSD Daemons, and PGs.

Ceph mgr roles
------------------------
The Ceph Manager daemon (ceph-mgr) runs alongside monitor daemons, to provide additional monitoring and interfaces to external monitoring and management systems. Since the 12.x (luminous) Ceph release, the ceph-mgr daemon is required for normal operations. The ceph-mgr daemon is an optional component in the 11.x (kraken) Ceph release.
By default, the manager daemon requires no additional configuration, beyond ensuring it is running. If there is no mgr daemon running, you will see a health warning to that effect, and some of the other information in the output of ceph status will be missing or stale until a mgr is started.

Ceph manage keyring keys
------------------------
Keyrings are dynamically generated unless specified by the following pillar.
.. code-block:: yaml
ceph:
common:
manage_keyring: true
keyring:
glance:
name: images
key: AACf3ulZFFPNDxAAd2DWds3aEkHh4IklZVgIaQ==

osd: "allow class-read object_prefix rdb_children, allow rwx pool=images"
Generate CRUSH map - Recommended way
-----------------------------------
It is required to define the `type` for crush buckets and these types must start with `root` (top) and end with `host`. OSD daemons will be assigned to hosts according to it's hostname. Weight of the buckets will be calculated according to weight of it's children.
If the pools that are in use have size of 3 it is best to have 3 children of a specific type in the root CRUSH tree to replicate objects across (Specified in rule steps by 'type region').

Generate CRUSH map - Alternative way
------------------------------------
It's necessary to create per OSD pillar.
.. code-block:: yaml
ceph:
osd:
crush:
- type: root
name: root1
- type: region
name: eu-1
- type: rack
name: rack01
- type: host
name: osd001
Add OSDs with specific weight
-----------------------------
Add OSD device(s) with initial weight set specifically to certain value.
.. code-block:: yaml
ceph:
osd:
crush_initial_weight: 0
Apply CRUSH map
---------------
Before you apply CRUSH map please make sure that settings in generated file in /etc/ceph/crushmap are correct.
.. code-block:: yaml
ceph:
setup:
crush:
enforce: true
pool:
images:
crush_rule: sata
application: rbd
volumes:
crush_rule: sata
application: rbd
vms:
crush_rule: ssd
application: rbd
.. note:: For Kraken and earlier releases please specify crush_rule as a ruleset number.
For Kraken and earlier releases application param is not needed.
Persist CRUSH map
--------------------
After the CRUSH map is applied to Ceph it's recommended to persist the same settings even after OSD reboots.
.. code-block:: yaml
ceph:
osd:
crush_update: false
Ceph monitoring
---------------
