I have another strange observation to share. In our test setup, only a single RBD mirroring daemon is running for 51 images. It works fine with a constant stream of 1-2 MB/s, but at some point after roughly 20 hours, _all_ images go to this interesting state: ----------------------------------------- # rbd mirror image status test-vm.XXXXX-disk2 test-vm.XXXXX-disk2: global_id: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX state: down+replaying description: replaying, master_position=[object_number=14, tag_tid=6, entry_tid=6338], mirror_position=[object_number=14, tag_tid=6, entry_tid=6338], entries_behind_master=0 last_update: 2019-09-13 03:45:43 ----------------------------------------- Running this command several times, I see entry_tid increasing at both ends, so mirroring seems to be working just fine. However: ----------------------------------------- # rbd mirror pool status health: WARNING images: 51 total 51 unknown ----------------------------------------- The health warning is not visible in the dashboard (also not in the mirroring menu), the daemon still seems to be running, dropped nothing in the logs, and claims to be "ok" in the dashboard - it's only that all images show up in unknown state even though all seems to be working fine. Any idea on how to debug this? When I restart the rbd-mirror service, all images come back as green. I already encountered this twice in 3 days.The dashboard relies on the rbd-mirror daemon to provide it errors and warnings. You can see the status reported by rbd-mirror by running "ceph service status": $ ceph service status { "rbd-mirror": { "4152": { "status_stamp": "2019-09-13T08:58:41.937491-0400", "last_beacon": "2019-09-13T08:58:41.937491-0400", "status": { "json": "{\"1\":{\"name\":\"mirror\",\"callouts\":{},\"image_assigned_count\":1,\"image_error_count\":0,\"image_local_count\":1,\"image_remote_count\":1,\"image_warning_count\":0,\"instance_id\":\"4154\",\"leader\":true},\"2\":{\"name\":\"mirror_parent\",\"callouts\":{},\"image_assigned_count\":0,\"image_error_count\":0,\"image_local_count\":0,\"image_remote_count\":0,\"image_warning_count\":0,\"instance_id\":\"4156\",\"leader\":true}}" } } } } In your case, most likely it seems like rbd-mirror thinks all is good with the world so it's not reporting any errors.This is indeed the case: # ceph service status { "rbd-mirror": { "84243": { "status_stamp": "2019-09-13 15:40:01.149815", "last_beacon": "2019-09-13 15:40:26.151381", "status": { "json": "{\"2\":{\"name\":\"rbd\",\"callouts\":{},\"image_assigned_count\":51,\"image_error_count\":0,\"image_local_count\":51,\"image_remote_count\":51,\"image_warning_count\":0,\"instance_id\":\"84247\",\"leader\":true}}" } } }, "rgw": { ... } }The "down" state indicates that the rbd-mirror daemon isn't correctly watching the "rbd_mirroring" object in the pool. You can see who it watching that object by running the "rados" "listwatchers" command: $ rados -p <pool name> listwatchers rbd_mirroring watcher=1.2.3.4:0/199388543 client.4154 cookie=94769010788992 watcher=1.2.3.4:0/199388543 client.4154 cookie=94769061031424 In my case, the "4154" from "client.4154" is the unique global id for my connection to the cluster, which relates back to the "ceph service status" dump which also shows status by daemon using the unique global id.Sadly(?), this looks as expected: # rados -p rbd listwatchers rbd_mirroring watcher=10.160.19.240:0/2922488671 client.84247 cookie=139770046978672 watcher=10.160.19.240:0/2922488671 client.84247 cookie=139771389162560Hmm, the unique id is different (84243 vs 84247). I wouldn't have expected the global id to have changed. Did you restart the Ceph cluster or MONs? Do you see any "peer assigned me a different global_id" errors in your rbd-mirror logs? I'll open a tracker ticket to fix the "ceph service status", though, since clearly your global id changed but it wasn't noticed by the service daemon status updater.... also, can you please provide the output from the following via a pastebin link? # rados -p rbd listomapvals rbd_mirroring
Of course, here you go: https://0x0.st/zy8J.txt Cheers, Oliver
However, the dashboard still shows those images in "unknown", and this also shows up via command line: # rbd mirror pool status health: WARNING images: 51 total 51 unknown # rbd mirror image status test-vm.physik.uni-bonn.de-disk1 test-vm.physik.uni-bonn.de-disk2: global_id: 1a53fafa-37ef-4edf-9633-c2ba3323ed93 state: down+replaying description: replaying, master_position=[object_number=18, tag_tid=6, entry_tid=25202], mirror_position=[object_number=18, tag_tid=6, entry_tid=25202], entries_behind_master=0 last_update: 2019-09-13 15:55:15 Any ideas on what else could cause this? Cheers and thanks, OliverAny idea on this (or how I can extract more information)? I fear keeping high-level debug logs active for ~24h is not feasible.

I ran "rbd mirror pool enable rbd pool" on that cluster and created a cephx user "rbd_mirror" with (is there a better way?): ceph auth get-or-create client.rbd_mirror mon 'allow r' osd 'allow class-read object_prefix rbd_children, allow pool rbd r' -o ceph.client.rbd_mirror.keyring --cluster ceph In that pool, two images have the journaling feature activated, all others have it disabled still (so I would expect these two to be mirrored).You can just use "mon 'profile rbd' osd 'profile rbd'" for the caps -- but you definitely need more than read-only permissions to the remote cluster since it needs to be able to create snapshots of remote images and update/trim the image journals.these profiles really make life a lot easier. I should have thought of them rather than "guessing" a potentially good configuration...- Another (empty) cluster running latest Nautilus, cluster name "ceph", pool "rbd". I've used the dashboard to activate mirroring for the RBD pool, and then added a peer with cluster name "ceph-virt", cephx-ID "rbd_mirror", filled in the mons and key created above. I've then run: ceph auth get-or-create client.rbd_mirror_backup mon 'allow r' osd 'allow class-read object_prefix rbd_children, allow pool rbd rwx' -o client.rbd_mirror_backup.keyring --cluster ceph and deployed that key on the rbd-mirror machine, and started the service with:Please use "mon 'profile rbd-mirror' osd 'profile rbd'" for your caps [1].That did the trick (in combination with the above)! Again a case of PEBKAC: I should have read the documentation until the end, clearly my fault. It works well now, even though it seems to run a bit slow (~35 MB/s for the initial sync when everything is 1 GBit/s), but that may also be caused by combination of some very limited hardware on the receiving end (which will be scaled up in the future). A single host with 6 disks, replica 3 and a RAID controller which can only do RAID0 and not JBOD is certainly not ideal, so commit latency may cause this slow bandwidth.You could try increasing "rbd_concurrent_management_ops" from the default of 10 ops to something higher to attempt to account for the latency. However, I wouldn't expect near-line speed w/ RBD mirroring.Thanks - I will play with this option once we have more storage available in the target pool ;-).systemctl start ceph-rbd-mirror@rbd_mirror_backup.service After this, everything looks fine: # rbd mirror pool info Mode: pool Peers: UUID NAME CLIENT XXXXXXXXXXX ceph-virt client.rbd_mirror The service also seems to start fine, but logs show (debug rbd_mirror=20): rbd::mirror::ClusterWatcher:0x5575e2a7d390 resolve_peer_config_keys: retrieving config-key: pool_id=2, pool_name=rbd, peer_uuid=XXXXXXXXXXX rbd::mirror::Mirror: 0x5575e29c7240 update_pool_replayers: enter rbd::mirror::Mirror: 0x5575e29c7240 update_pool_replayers: restarting failed pool replayer for uuid: XXXXXXXXXXX cluster: ceph-virt client: client.rbd_mirror rbd::mirror::PoolReplayer: 0x5575e2a7da20 init: replaying for uuid: XXXXXXXXXXX cluster: ceph-virt client: client.rbd_mirror rbd::mirror::PoolReplayer: 0x5575e2a7da20 init_rados: error connecting to remote peer uuid: XXXXXXXXXXX cluster: ceph-virt client: client.rbd_mirror: (95) Operation not supported rbd::mirror::ServiceDaemon: 0x5575e29c8d70 add_or_update_callout: pool_id=2, callout_id=2, callout_level=error, text=unable to connect to remote clusterIf it's still broken after fixing your caps above, perhaps increase debugging for "rados", "monc", "auth", and "ms" to see if you can determine the source of the op not supported error.I already tried storing the ceph.client.rbd_mirror.keyring (i.e. from the cluster with the live images) on the rbd-mirror machine explicitly (i.e. not only in mon config storage), and after doing that: rbd -m mon_ip_of_ceph_virt_cluster --id=rbd_mirror ls works fine. So it's not a connectivity issue. Maybe a permission issue? Or did I miss something? Any idea what "operation not supported" means? It's unclear to me whether things should work well using Mimic with Nautilus, and enabling pool mirroring but only having journaling on for two images is a supported case.Yes and yes.2) Since there is a performance drawback (about 2x) for journaling, is it also possible to only mirror snapshots, and leave the live volumes alone? This would cover the common backup usecase before deferred mirroring is implemented (or is it there already?).This is in-development right now and will hopefully land for the Octopus release.That would be very cool. Just to clarify: You mean the "real" deferred mirroring, not a "snapshot only" mirroring? Is it already clear if this will require Octopous (or a later release) on both ends, or only on the receiving side?I might not be sure what you mean by deferred mirroring. You can delay the replay of the journal via the "rbd_mirroring_replay_delay" configuration option so that your DR site can be X seconds behind the primary at a minimum.This is indeed what I was thinking of...For Octopus we are working on on-demand and scheduled snapshot mirroring between sites -- no journal is involved.... and this is what I was dreaming of. We keep snapshots of VMs to be able to roll them back. We'd like to also keep those snapshots in a separate Ceph instance as an additional safety-net (in addition to an offline backup of those snapshots with Benji backup). It is not (yet) clear to me whether we can pay the "2 x" price for journaling in the long run, so this would be the way to go in case we can't.Since I got you personally, I have two bonus questions. 1) Your talk: https://events.static.linuxfound.org/sites/events/files/slides/Disaster%20Recovery%20and%20Ceph%20Block%20Storage-%20Introducing%20Multi-Site%20Mirroring.pdf mentions "rbd journal object flush age", which I'd translate with something like the "commit" mount option on a classical file system - correct? I don't find this switch documented anywhere, though - is there experience with it / what's the default?It's a low-level knob that by default causes the journal to flush its pending IO events before it allows the corresponding IO to be issued against the backing image. Setting it to a value greater that zero will allow that many seconds of IO events to be batched together in a journal append operation and its helpful for high-throughout, small IO operations. Of course it turned out that a bug had broken that option a while where events would never batch, so a fix is currently scheduled for backport of all active releases [1] w/ the goal that no one should need to tweak it.That's even better - since our setup is growing and we will keep upgrading, I'll then just keep things as they are now (no manual tweaking) and tag along the development. Thanks!2) I read I can run more than one rbd-mirror with Mimic/Nautilus. Do they load-balance the images, or "only" failover in case one of them dies?Starting with Nautilus, the default configuration for rbd-mirror is to evenly divide the number of mirrored images between all running daemons. This does not split the total load since some images might be hotter than others, but it at least spreads the load.That's fine enough for our use case. Spreading by "hotness" is a task without a clear answer and "temperature" may change quickly, so that's all I hoped for. Many thanks again for the very helpful explanations!
