I've been trying to debug this problem that shows up when using ceph-deploy, and have found some pretty weird behavior: [ceph_deploy.gatherkeys][WARNIN] Unable to find /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring on ['issdm-2'] The below findings are on the monitor node after the failed gatherkeys. The ceph-create-keys upstart script is run when ceph-mon starts, but there is an error in syslog: Jan 24 10:58:38 issdm-2 kernel: [71327.813051] init: ceph-create-keys main process (26591) terminated with status 1 There is more info in /var/log/upstart/ceph-create-keys.log INFO:ceph-create-keys:Key exists already: /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring INFO:ceph-create-keys:Key exists already: /var/lib/ceph/bootstrap-osd/ceph.keyring INFO:ceph-create-keys:Key exists already: /var/lib/ceph/bootstrap-mds/ceph.keyring INFO:ceph-create-keys:Talking to monitor... Error initializing cluster client: Error INFO:ceph-create-keys:Cannot get or create admin key, permission denied However, there is still no ceph.client.admin.keyring in /etc/ceph. Now I start and stop the monitor sudo stop ceph-mon id=issdm-2 sudo start ceph-mon id=issdm-2 Now the following new output is in ceph-create-keys.log no valid command found; 10 closest matches: config show help log dump get_command_descriptions git_version config set <var> <val> [<val>...] version 2 config get <var> 0 admin_socket: invalid command INFO:ceph-create-keys:ceph-mon admin socket not ready yet.

INFO:ceph-create-keys:Key exists already: /var/lib/ceph/bootstrap-osd/ceph.keyring INFO:ceph-create-keys:Key exists already: /var/lib/ceph/bootstrap-mds/ceph.keyring But the ceph.client.admin.key happens to now be in /etc/ceph/... _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
