Hi Matt, Marc, I'm using Ceph Otopus with cephadm as the orchestration tool. I've tried adding OSDs with ceph orch daemon add ... but it's pretty limited. For one, you can't create dmcrypt OSD with it nor having a separate db device. I found that the most reliable way to create OSD with cephadm orchestration tool is via the spec file (i.e. ceph orch apply osd -i osd.spec ). For example, you can ask it to find all the HDD disk by certain model, size... on a particular host(s) and make them into osds. Here is a simple spec file: service_type: osd service_id: furry-osd placement: host_pattern: 'furry' data_devices: size: '5900G:6000G' encrypted: true You can find more info here: https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/cephadm/drivegroups/ However, this method only works with full disks, not partitions nor LVs. You can use 'ceph orch device ls <host> --refresh' to list all avail disks a particular host and why certain disks are't avail. My understanding with the ceph-volume lvm is that it uses LV labels exclusively to find the block/db/wal devices using LVM. During startup, it will use lvm to find the OSD blocks, setup dmcrypt volume (if required), create proper links, and execute ceph-osd command. The existing links in /var/lib/ceph/ceph-osd/ would be overrided by the info from the LV tags. You can use lvs -o lv_tags on an LV to see all the labels created for an OSD. Hope it helps. --Tri Hoang October 1, 2020 10:23 AM, "Matt Larson" <larsonmattr@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Marc, > > Did you have any success with `ceph-volume` for activating your OSD? > > I am having a similar problem where the command `ceph-bluestore-tool` > fails to be able to read a label for a previously created OSD on an > LVM partition.
