Re: How to know is ceph is ready?

Hi,

It's a hacky idea but create a script that checks if the Ceph RBD pool is
fully "active+clean" to ensure it's ready before starting Proxmox VMs.
Something like this...

1. Bash Script:
- Write a script that checks if the Ceph RBD pool is in the "active+clean"
state using ceph pg stat or ceph -s.
- The script should run until the pool is ready before exiting. A loop or
something...

2. Systemd Service for Ceph Readiness:
- Create a systemd service unit file (something like: ceph-ready.service)
that runs the script at startup.
- Ensure the service waits until the Ceph cluster is ready before
proceeding.

3. Systemd Service for Proxmox VMs:
- Modify an existing Proxmox service or create a new one to depend on the
ceph-ready.service.
- Use After=ceph-ready.service in the unit file to ensure Proxmox VMs start
only after Ceph is ready.

4. Enable and Start the Services:
- Enable both systemd services to start at boot with systemctl enable.
- Reboot to ensure that Proxmox waits for Ceph before starting VMs.

Just an idea...

Thank you,
