Seeing which Ceph version OSD/MON data is

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

 



Hi,

Recently I got my hands on a Ceph cluster which was pretty damaged due
to a human error.

I had no ceph.conf nor did I have any original Operating System data.

With just the MON/OSD data I had to rebuild the cluster by manually
re-writing the ceph.conf and installing Ceph.

The problem was, I didn't know which Ceph version the cluster was
running, nor did anybody inside the company I was fixing the cluster for.

Would it be an idea if both the MON and OSD daemons would write a file
called "ceph_version" in their data directory after every succesfull
startup?

In this case I figured it was probably Firefly or Hammer, so I started
with Firefly. That failed to start, so I tried Hammer. That worked. But
it could also have been Giant, I didn't know.

If this is a useful idea I can create a issue in the tracker for it.

Wido
