Hi Folks, In the qa suites, We have been relying on Ceph task for long time and quite frankly it has done excellent job of setting up cluster for various upper layer tests which don't care how the cluster is setup. I am now proposing where possible we start taking out Ceph Task and replace this with Ceph-Ansible Task and fix the roles to properly work with ceph-ansible task, this will help us test more like customer scenario's, make it easy to consume new features(eg: ceph-volume, vdo etc) there are few things to fix in role's for each cluster that is setup using ceph-ansible a) multiple mon's or multiple mds cannot exist in same node and should be put on different node), also look into how active/standy mds are setup using ceph-ansible and use them appropriately in config. b) Daemon helper was another thing that was holding use of Ceph-Ansible task, but I have tested a fix in my personal branch and it seems to be working as long as we fix the roles c) for Dual Cluster setup we can continue to use old style Ceph Task, we recommend not to use different cluster names in ceph-deploy or ceph-ansible due to systemd issues. d) upgrades can also use the ceph-ansible task with cluster role fix. ( the inital cluster is setup using ceph-ansible but then later on we can still rely on old style apt-get update/yum update to update individual nodes, behind the scenes systemd will handle the daemons) I will update the Smoke suite to use ceph-ansible by default for all tests and see how the trial runs work, Ideally we could move 50 to 60% of the tests that can use ceph-ansible and rest can still rely on old style so that we have good mix of overall deployment tests.
