Happy New Year Ceph Community! I'm in the process of figuring out RBD mirroring with Ceph and having a really tough time with it. I'm trying to set up just one way mirroring right now on some test systems (baremetal servers, all Debian 9). The first cluster is 3 nodes, and the 2nd cluster is 2 nodes (not worried about a properly performing setup, just the functionality of RBD mirroring right now). The purpose is to have a passive failover ceph cluster in a separate DC. Mirroring seems like the best solution, but if we can't get it working, we'll end up resorting to a scheduled rsync which is less than ideal. I've followed several guides, read through a lot of documentation, and nothing has worked for me thus far. If anyone can offer some troubleshooting help or insight into what I might have missed in this setup, I'd greatly appreciate it! I also don't fully understand the relationship between images and pools and how you're supposed to configure statically sized images for a pool that has a variable amount of data, but that's a question for afterwards, I think :) Once RBD mirroring is set up, the mirror test image status shows as down+unknown: On ceph1-dc2: rbd --cluster dc1ceph mirror pool status fs_data --verbose health: WARNING images: 1 total 1 unknown mirror_test: global_id: c335017c-9b8f-49ee-9bc1-888789537c47 state: down+unknown description: status not found last_update: Here are the commands I run using ceph-deploy on both clusters to get everything up and running (run from a deploy directory on the first node of each cluster). The clusters are created at the same time, and rbd setup commands are only run after the clusters are up and healthy, and the fs_data pool is created. ----------------------------------------------------------- Cluster 1 (dc1ceph): ceph-deploy new ceph1-dc1 ceph2-dc1 ceph3-dc1 sed -i '$ s,.*,public_network = *.*.*.0/24\n,g' ceph.conf ceph-deploy install ceph1-dc1 ceph2-dc1 ceph3-dc1 --release luminous ceph-deploy mon create-initial ceph-deploy admin ceph1-dc1 ceph2-dc1 ceph3-dc1 ceph-deploy mgr create ceph1-dc1 ceph2-dc1 ceph3-dc1 for x in b c d e f g h i j k; do ceph-deploy osd create --data /dev/sd${x}1 ceph1-dc1 ; done for x in b c d e f g h i j k; do ceph-deploy osd create --data /dev/sd${x}1 ceph2-dc1 ; done for x in b c d e f g h i j k; do ceph-deploy osd create --data /dev/sd${x}1 ceph3-dc1 ; done ceph-deploy mds create ceph1-dc1 ceph2-dc1 ceph3-dc1 ceph-deploy rgw create ceph1-dc1 ceph2-dc1 ceph3-dc1 for f in 1 2 ; do scp ceph.client.admin.keyring ceph$f-dc2:/etc/ceph/dc1ceph.client.admin.keyring ; done for f in 1 2 ; do scp ceph.conf ceph$f-dc2:/etc/ceph/dc1ceph.conf ; done for f in 1 2 ; do ssh ceph$f-dc2 "chown ceph.ceph /etc/ceph/dc1ceph*" ; done ceph osd pool create fs_data 512 512 replicated rbd --cluster ceph mirror pool enable fs_data image rbd --cluster dc2ceph mirror pool enable fs_data image rbd --cluster ceph mirror pool peer add fs_data client.admin@dc2ceph (generated id: b5e347b3-0515-4142-bc49-921a07636865) rbd create fs_data/mirror_test --size=1G rbd feature enable fs_data/mirror_test journaling rbd mirror image enable fs_data/mirror_test chown ceph.ceph ceph.client.admin.keyring Cluster 2 (dc2ceph): ceph-deploy new ceph1-dc2 ceph2-dc2 sed -i '$ s,.*,public_network = *.*.*.0/24\n,g' ceph.conf ceph-deploy install ceph1-dc2 ceph2-dc2 --release luminous ceph-deploy mon create-initial ceph-deploy admin ceph1-dc2 ceph2-dc2 ceph-deploy mgr create ceph1-dc2 ceph2-dc2 for x in b c d e f g h i j k; do ceph-deploy osd create --data /dev/sd${x}1 ceph1-dc2 ; done for x in b c d e f g h i j k; do ceph-deploy osd create --data /dev/sd${x}1 ceph2-dc2 ; done ceph-deploy mds create ceph1-dc2 ceph2-dc2 ceph-deploy rgw create ceph1-dc2 ceph2-dc2 apt install rbd-mirror for f in 1 2 3 ; do scp ceph.conf ceph$f-dc1:/etc/ceph/dc2ceph.conf ; done for f in 1 2 3 ; do scp ceph.client.admin.keyring ceph$f-dc1:/etc/ceph/dc2ceph.client.admin.keyring ; done for f in 1 2 3 ; do ssh ceph$f-dc1 "chown ceph.ceph /etc/ceph/dc2ceph*" ; done ceph osd pool create fs_data 512 512 replicated rbd --cluster ceph mirror pool peer add fs_data client.admin@dc1ceph (generated id: e486c401-e24d-49bc-9800-759760822282) systemctl enable ceph-rbd-mirror@admin systemctl start ceph-rbd-mirror@admin rbd --cluster dc1ceph mirror pool status fs_data --verbose Cluster 1: ls /etc/ceph: ceph.client.admin.keyring ceph.conf dc2ceph.client.admin.keyring dc2ceph.conf rbdmap tmpG36OYs cat /etc/ceph/ceph.conf: [global] fsid = 8fede407-50e1-4487-8356-3dc98b30c500 mon_initial_members = ceph1-dc1, ceph2-dc1, ceph3-dc1 mon_host = *.*.*.1,*.*.*.27,*.*.*.41 auth_cluster_required = cephx auth_service_required = cephx auth_client_required = cephx public_network = *.*.*.0/24 cat /etc/ceph/dc2ceph.conf [global] fsid = 813ff410-02dc-47bd-b678-38add38495bb mon_initial_members = ceph1-dc2, ceph2-dc2 mon_host = *.*.*.56,*.*.*.0 auth_cluster_required = cephx auth_service_required = cephx auth_client_required = cephx public_network = *.*.*.0/24 Cluster 2: ls /etc/ceph: ceph.client.admin.keyring ceph.conf dc1ceph.client.admin.keyring dc1ceph.conf rbdmap tmp_yxkPs cat /etc/ceph/ceph.conf [global] fsid = 813ff410-02dc-47bd-b678-38add38495bb mon_initial_members = ceph1-dc2, ceph2-dc2 mon_host = *.*.*.56,*.*.*.70 auth_cluster_required = cephx auth_service_required = cephx auth_client_required = cephx public_network = *.*.*.0/24 cat /etc/ceph/dc1ceph.conf [global] fsid = 8fede407-50e1-4487-8356-3dc98b30c500 mon_initial_members = ceph1-dc1, ceph2-dc1, ceph3-dc1 mon_host = *.*.*.1,*.*.*.27,*.*.*.41 auth_cluster_required = cephx auth_service_required = cephx auth_client_required = cephx public_network = *.*.*.0/24 RBD Mirror daemon status: ceph-rbd-mirror@admin.service - Ceph rbd mirror daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ceph-rbd-mirror@.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) since Mon 2020-01-06 16:21:44 EST; 3s ago Process: 910178 ExecStart=/usr/bin/rbd-mirror -f --cluster ${CLUSTER} --id admin --setuser ceph --setgroup ceph (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 910178 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Jan 06 16:21:44 ceph1-dc2 systemd[1]: Started Ceph rbd mirror daemon.
