Re: PG Scaling

Round up your pg_num and pgp_num to the next power of 2, 2048.

 

Ceph will start moving data as soon as you implement the new ‘size 3’, so I would increase the pg_num and pgp_num, first, then increase the size.  It will start creating the new PG’s immediately.  You can see all this going on using ‘ceph –w’.

 

Once the data is finished moving, you may need to  run ‘ceph osd crush tunables optimal’.  This should take care of any unclean PG’s that may be hanging around.

 

It is NOT possible to decrease the PG’s.  One would need to  delete the pool and recreate it.

Correction: Sorry min_size is at 1 everywhere.

 


Thank you.

Hi Everyone,

 

I am deploying an openstack deployment with Fuel 4.1 and have a 20 node ceph deployment of c6220’s with 3 osd’s and 1 journaling disk per node. When first deployed each storage pool is configured with the correct size and min_size attributes however fuel doesn’t seem to apply the correct number of pg’s to the pools based on the number of osd’s that we actually have.

 

I make the adjustments using the following

 

(20 nodes * 3 OSDs)*100 / 3 replicas = 2000

 

ceph osd pool volumes set size 3

ceph osd pool volumes set min_size 3

ceph osd pool volumes set pg_num 2000

ceph osd pool volumes set pgp_num 2000

 

ceph osd pool images set size 3

ceph osd pool images set min_size 3

ceph osd pool images set pg_num 2000

ceph osd pool images set pgp_num 2000

 

ceph osd pool compute set size 3

ceph osd pool compute set min_size 3

ceph osd pool compute set pg_num 2000

ceph osd pool compute set pgp_num 2000

 

Here are the questions I am left with concerning these changes:

  1. How long does it take for ceph to apply the changes and recalculate the pg’s?
  2. When is it safe to do this type of operation? before any data is written to the pools or is doing this while pools are used acceptable?
  3. Is it possible to scale down the number of pg’s ?

Thank you for your input.
