Patrick, Sorry for delayed response. This seems to be the limit of assistance I’m capable of providing. My deployments are all ubuntu and bootstrapped (or upgraded) according to this starting doc: https://docs.ceph.com/en/quincy/cephadm/install/#cephadm-deploying-new-cluster It is very confusing to me that cephadm and ceph-volume are able to zap the device, but cephadm ceph-volume inventory shows nothing. It’s even more perplexing to me, because on my systems even the OS disks are listed as not available. Maybe someone else here as an idea what’s going on. One last difference that might be a place for you to investigate. I’m using docker, so perhaps your podman installation is somehow limiting direct access to the disk devices?

Can this break The container ? I do not know what should be available as ceph packages in the container to remove properly this install (no dnf.log file in the container) Patrick Le 12/05/2023 à 21:38, Beaman, Joshua a écrit : The most significant point I see there, is you have no OSD service spec to tell orchestrator how to deploy OSDs. The easiest fix for that would be “ceph orch apply osd --all-available-devices” This will create a simple spec that should work for a test environment. Most likely it will collocate the block, block.db, and WAL all on the same device. Not ideal for prod environments, but fine for practice and testing. The other command I should have had you try is “cephadm ceph-volume inventory”. That should show you the devices available for OSD deployment, and hopefully matches up to what your “lsblk” shows. If you need to zap HDDs and orchestrator is still not seeing them, you can try “cephadm ceph-volume lvm zap /dev/sdb” Thank you, Josh Beaman From: Patrick Begou <Patrick.Begou@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx><mailto:Patrick.Begou@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Friday, May 12, 2023 at 2:22 PM To: Beaman, Joshua <Joshua_Beaman@xxxxxxxxxxx><mailto:Joshua_Beaman@xxxxxxxxxxx>, ceph-users <ceph-users@xxxxxxx><mailto:ceph-users@xxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] [Pacific] ceph orch device ls do not returns any HDD Hi Joshua and thanks for this quick reply. At this step I have only one node. I was checking what ceph was returning with different commands on this host before adding new hosts. Just to compare with my first Octopus install. As this hardware is for testing only, it remains easy for me to break everything and reinstall again.

At this time I have 4 old identical nodes for testing with 3 HDDs each, 2 network interfaces and running Alma Linux8 (el8). I try to replay the training session but it fails, breaking the web interface because of some problems with podman 4.2 not compatible with Octopus. So I try to deploy Pacific with cephadm tool on my first node (mostha1) (to enable testing also an upgrade later). dnf -y install https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://download.ceph.com/rpm-16.2.13/el8/noarch/cephadm-16.2.13-0.el8.noarch.rpm__;!!CQl3mcHX2A!H9cwNCJyKXYQ4BbGA3gwHHRitjOS4lBCZT9wlnBZ-8IDue0MvdcPD8Dnv5yQCZw_eA4BNDYaEq1eouKQcQO7HshgdUJ0SJ-EgLfaBGBmCQ$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/download.ceph.com/rpm-16.2.13/el8/noarch/cephadm-16.2.13-0.el8.noarch.rpm__;!!CQl3mcHX2A!H9cwNCJyKXYQ4BbGA3gwHHRitjOS4lBCZT9wlnBZ-8IDue0MvdcPD8Dnv5yQCZw_eA4BNDYaEq1eouKQcQO7HshgdUJ0SJ-EgLfaBGBmCQ$> monip=$(getent ahostsv4 mostha1 |head -n 1| awk '{ print $1 }') cephadm bootstrap --mon-ip $monip --initial-dashboard-password xxxxx \ --initial-dashboard-user admceph \ --allow-fqdn-hostname --cluster-network 10.1.0.0/16 This was sucessfull. But running "*c**eph orch device ls*" do not show any HDD even if I have /dev/sda (used by the OS), /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc The web interface shows a row capacity which is an aggregate of the sizes of the 3 HDDs for the node. I've also tried to reset /dev/sdb but cephadm do not see it: [ceph: root@mostha1 /]# ceph orch device zap mostha1.legi.grenoble-inp.fr /dev/sdb --force Error EINVAL: Device path '/dev/sdb' not found on host 'mostha1.legi.grenoble-inp.fr' On my first attempt with octopus, I was able to list the available HDD with this command line. Before moving to Pacific, the OS on this node has been reinstalled from scratch. Any advices for a CEPH beginner ?
