Re: storage pools ceph (bobtail) auth failure in xenserver SR creation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi.

So, the problem here is a couple of things.

First: libvirt doesn't handle RBD storage pools without auth. That's my bad, but I never resolved that bug: http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/3493

For now, make sure cephx is enabled.

Also, the commands you are using don't seem to be right.

It should be:

$ virsh secret-set-value $(cat uuid) <base64 secret key>

Could you try again with cephx enabled and setting the secret value like mentioned above?

Hi Dave, Thank you so much for getting back to me.

the command returns the same errors:

[root@xen02 ~]# virsh pool-create ceph.xml
error: Failed to create pool from ceph.xml
error: Invalid secret: virSecretFree

[root@xen02 ~]#

the secret was precreated for the user admin that I use elsewhere with
no issues (rbd mount, cephfs etc.), and per the ceph documentation, i
just set the secret value with this command

  virsh secret-set-value $(cat uuid) --base64 $(cat client.admin.key)

where the key is obtained from

  ceph auth list

and uuid is generated by

virsh secret-define --file secret.xml

# cat secret.xml
<secret ephemeral='no' private='no'>
         <usage type='ceph'>
                 <name>client.admin $(cat client.admin.key)</name>
         </usage>
</secret>

    I must confess that I've disabled auth in my test environment.
    Clearly I should
    go back and enable it again :-)

    The "xe sr-create" call is handled by "xapi" which calls
    "xapi-libvirt-storage" which
    uses the libvirt API directly to create the pool. It _should_ do the
    same as running

    virsh pool-create ceph.xml

    Could you try the "virsh pool-create" and see if that works? If it
    does, then we need
    to figure out what the "virsh" CLI is doing that my Pool.create
    function call isn't. If
    it doesn't then there might be some other missing step. Did you have
    to pre-create
    a secret (is that "virsh secret-create"?)

    Cheers,
    Dave Scott
