ceph-ansible

Ansible playbook for Ceph!

Clone me:

git clone https://github.com/ceph/ceph-ansible.git
cp vagrant_variables.yml.sample vagrant_variables.yml

What does it do?

General support for:

  • Monitors
  • OSDs
  • MDSs
  • RGW

More details:

  • Authentication (cephx), this can be disabled.
  • Supports cluster public and private network.
  • Monitors deployment. You can easily start with one monitor and then progressively add new nodes. So can deploy one monitor for testing purpose. For production, I recommend to always use an odd number of monitors, 3 tends to be the standard.
  • Object Storage Daemons. Like the monitors you can start with a certain amount of nodes and then grow this number. The playbook either supports a dedicated device for storing the journal or both journal and OSD data on the same device (using a tiny partition at the beginning of the device).
  • Metadata daemons.
  • Collocation. The playbook supports collocating Monitors, OSDs and MDSs on the same machine.
  • The playbook was validated on Debian Wheezy, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and CentOS 6.4.
  • Tested on Ceph Dumpling and Emperor.
  • A rolling upgrade playbook was written, an upgrade from Dumpling to Emperor was performed and worked.

Setup with Vagrant

Run your virtual machines:

$ vagrant up

rgw                        : ok=20   changed=17   unreachable=0    failed=0

Check the status:

$ vagrant ssh mon0 -c "sudo ceph -s"
    cluster 4a158d27-f750-41d5-9e7f-26ce4c9d2d45

To re-run the Ansible provisioning scripts:

$ vagrant provision

Specifying fsid and secret key in production

The Vagrantfile specifies an fsid for the cluster and a secret key for the monitor. If using these playbooks in production, you must generate your own fsid in group_vars/all and monitor_secret in group_vars/mons. Those files contain information about how to generate appropriate values for these variables.

Specifying package origin

By default, ceph-common installs from Ceph repository. However, you can set ceph_origin to "distro" to install Ceph from your default repository.

For Debian based systems

If you want to use "backports", you can set "true" to ceph_use_distro_backports. Attention, ceph-common doesn't manage backports repository, you must add it yourself.
