My configuration is: two osd servers, one admin node, three monitors; all running 072.2 I had to switch of one of the OSD servers. The ngood news is: As expected, all clients survived and continued to work with the cluster, and the cluster entered a "health warn" state (one monitor down, 5 of 10 osds down). The bad news is: I cannot resume this server's operation. When I booted the server, the monitor was started automatically - but it did not join the cluster. "/etc/init.d/ceph start mon" says "already running", but ceph -s still says that one monitor (this one) is missing. And the OSDs do not come back; nor can I restart them; error message is: # /etc/init.d/ceph start osd.0 /etc/init.d/ceph: osd.0 not found (/etc/ceph/ceph.conf defines mon.hvrrzrx301 , /var/lib/ceph defines mon.hvrrzrx301) As expected, ceph osd tree display the osd as down: -1 2.7 root default -2 1.35 host hvrrzrx301 0 0.27 osd.0 down 0 2 0.27 osd.2 down 0 4 0.27 osd.4 down 0 6 0.27 osd.6 down 0 8 0.27 osd.8 down 0 -3 1.35 host hvrrzrx303 1 0.27 osd.1 up 1 3 0.27 osd.3 up 1 5 0.27 osd.5 up 1 7 0.27 osd.7 up 1 9 0.27 osd.9 up 1 my ceph.conf only contains those settings which "ceph-deploy new " installed there; i.e. the osds are not mentioned in ceph.conf. I assume that this is the problem with my osds? Apparently the cluster (the surviving monitors) still know that osd.0, osd.2 etc. should appear in the failed node. Alas, I couldnt find any descritpion how to configure osds within ceph.conf ... I tried to define [osd.0] host = my_server devs = /dev/sdb2 data = /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0 but now it complains now that no filesystem type is defined ... To summarize: where can I find rules and procedures how to set up a ceph.conf not only by ceph-deploy; what must I do in addition to ceph-deploy in order that I can survive a node outage and can reattach the node to the cluster, with respect to the monitor on that node as well as to the osds? best regards -- Diedrich Ehlerding, Fujitsu Technology Solutions GmbH, FTS CE SC PS&IS W, Hildesheimer Str 25, D-30880 Laatzen Fon +49 511 8489-1806, Fax -251806, Mobil +49 173 2464758 Firmenangaben: http://de.ts.fujitsu.com/imprint.html _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
