cephadm basic questions: image config, OS reimages

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

 



Hi,

I've some experience with Ceph, but haven't used cephadm much before, and am trying to configure a pair of reef clusters with cephadm. A couple of newbie questions, if I may:

* cephadm shell image

I'm in an isolated environment, so pulling from a local repository. I bootstrapped OK with
cephadm --image docker-registry.wikimedia.org/ceph bootstrap ...

And that worked nicely, but if I want to run cephadm shell (to do any sort of admin), then I have to specify
cephadm --image docker-registry.wikimedia.org/ceph shell

(otherwise it just hangs failing to talk to quay.io).

I found the docs, which refer to setting lots of other images, but not the one that cephadm uses:
https://docs.ceph.com/en/reef/cephadm/install/#deployment-in-an-isolated-environment

I found an old tracker in this area: https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/47274

...but is there a good way to arrange for cephadm to use the already-downloaded image without having to remember to specify --image each time?

* OS reimages

We do OS upgrades by reimaging the server (which doesn't touch the storage disks); on an old-style deployment you could then use ceph-volume to re-start the OSDs and away you went; how does one do this in a cephadm cluster? [I presume involves telling cephadm to download a new image for podman to use and suchlike]

Would the process be smoother if we arranged to leave /var/lib/ceph intact between reimages?

Thanks,

Matthew
