initial code repo
This patch creates initial code repo.
For ceph, luminous stable release will be used for base code,
and next changes and optimization for ceph will be added to it.
For opensds, currently any changes can be upstreamed into original
opensds repo (https://github.com/opensds/opensds), and so stor4nfv
will directly clone opensds code to deploy stor4nfv environment.
And the scripts for deployment based on ceph and opensds will be
put into 'ci' directory.

If +you execute ``ceph health`` or ``ceph -s`` on the command line and Ceph returns +a health status, it means that the monitors have a quorum. +If you don't have a monitor quorum or if there are errors with the monitor +status, `address the monitor issues first <../troubleshooting-mon>`_. +Check your networks to ensure they +are running properly, because networks may have a significant impact on OSD +operation and performance. + + + +Obtaining Data About OSDs +========================= + +A good first step in troubleshooting your OSDs is to obtain information in +addition to the information you collected while `monitoring your OSDs`_ +(e.g., ``ceph osd tree``). + + +Ceph Logs +--------- + +If you haven't changed the default path, you can find Ceph log files at +``/var/log/ceph``:: + + ls /var/log/ceph + +If you don't get enough log detail, you can change your logging level. See +`Logging and Debugging`_ for details to ensure that Ceph performs adequately +under high logging volume. + + +Admin Socket +------------ + +Use the admin socket tool to retrieve runtime information. For details, list +the sockets for your Ceph processes:: + + ls /var/run/ceph + +Then, execute the following, replacing ``{daemon-name}`` with an actual +daemon (e.g., ``osd.0``):: + + ceph daemon osd.0 help + +Alternatively, you can specify a ``{socket-file}`` (e.g., something in ``/var/run/ceph``):: + + ceph daemon {socket-file} help + + +The admin socket, among other things, allows you to: + +- List your configuration at runtime +- Dump historic operations +- Dump the operation priority queue state +- Dump operations in flight +- Dump perfcounters + + +Display Freespace +----------------- + +Filesystem issues may arise.

For example:: + + dmesg | grep scsi + + +Stopping w/out Rebalancing +========================== + +Periodically, you may need to perform maintenance on a subset of your cluster, +or resolve a problem that affects a failure domain (e.g., a rack). If you do not +want CRUSH to automatically rebalance the cluster as you stop OSDs for +maintenance, set the cluster to ``noout`` first:: + + ceph osd set noout + +Once the cluster is set to ``noout``, you can begin stopping the OSDs within the +failure domain that requires maintenance work. :: + + stop ceph-osd id={num} + +.. note:: Placement groups within the OSDs you stop will become ``degraded`` + while you are addressing issues with within the failure domain. + +Once you have completed your maintenance, restart the OSDs. :: + + start ceph-osd id={num} + +Finally, you must unset the cluster from ``noout``. :: + + ceph osd unset noout + + + +.. _osd-not-running: + +OSD Not Running +=============== + +Under normal circumstances, simply restarting the ``ceph-osd`` daemon will +allow it to rejoin the cluster and recover. + +An OSD Won't Start +------------------ + +If you start your cluster and an OSD won't start, check the following: + +- **Configuration File:** If you were not able to get OSDs running from + a new installation, check your configuration file to ensure it conforms + (e.g., ``host`` not ``hostname``, etc.). + +- **Check Paths:** Check the paths in your configuration, and the actual + paths themselves for data and journals. If you separate the OSD data from + the journal data and there are errors in your configuration file or in the + actual mounts, you may have trouble starting OSDs. If you want to store the + journal on a block device, you should partition your journal disk and assign + one partition per OSD. + +- **Check Max Threadcount:** If you have a node with a lot of OSDs, you may be + hitting the default maximum number of threads (e.g., usually 32k), especially + during recovery. You can increase the number of threads using ``sysctl`` to + see if increasing the maximum number of threads to the maximum possible + number of threads allowed (i.e., 4194303) will help. For example:: + + sysctl -w kernel.pid_max=4194303 + + If increasing the maximum thread count resolves the issue, you can make it + permanent by including a ``kernel.pid_max`` setting in the + ``/etc/sysctl.conf`` file. For example:: + + kernel.pid_max = 4194303 + +- **Kernel Version:** Identify the kernel version and distribution you + are using. Ceph uses some third party tools by default, which may be + buggy or may conflict with certain distributions and/or kernel + versions (e.g., Google perftools). Check the `OS recommendations`_ + to ensure you have addressed any issues related to your kernel. + +- **Segment Fault:** If there is a segment fault, turn your logging up + (if it is not already), and try again. If it segment faults again, + contact the ceph-devel email list and provide your Ceph configuration + file, your monitor output and the contents of your log file(s). + + + +An OSD Failed +------------- + +When a ``ceph-osd`` process dies, the monitor will learn about the failure +from surviving ``ceph-osd`` daemons and report it via the ``ceph health`` +command:: + + ceph health + HEALTH_WARN 1/3 in osds are down + +Specifically, you will get a warning whenever there are ``ceph-osd`` +processes that are marked ``in`` and ``down``. You can identify which +``ceph-osds`` are ``down`` with:: + + ceph health detail + HEALTH_WARN 1/3 in osds are down + osd.0 is down since epoch 23, last address 192.168.106.220:6800/11080 + +If there is a disk +failure or other fault preventing ``ceph-osd`` from functioning or +restarting, an error message should be present in its log file in +``/var/log/ceph``. + +If the daemon stopped because of a heartbeat failure, the underlying +kernel file system may be unresponsive. Check ``dmesg`` output for disk +or other kernel errors. + +If the problem is a software error (failed assertion or other +unexpected error), it should be reported to the `ceph-devel`_ email list. + + +No Free Drive Space +------------------- + +Ceph prevents you from writing to a full OSD so that you don't lose data. +In an operational cluster, you should receive a warning when your cluster +is getting near its full ratio. The ``mon osd full ratio`` defaults to +``0.95``, or 95% of capacity before it stops clients from writing data. +The ``mon osd backfillfull ratio`` defaults to ``0.90``, or 90 % of +capacity when it blocks backfills from starting. The +``mon osd nearfull ratio`` defaults to ``0.85``, or 85% of capacity +when it generates a health warning. + +Full cluster issues usually arise when testing how Ceph handles an OSD +failure on a small cluster. When one node has a high percentage of the +cluster's data, the cluster can easily eclipse its nearfull and full ratio +immediately. If you are testing how Ceph reacts to OSD failures on a small +cluster, you should leave ample free disk space and consider temporarily +lowering the ``mon osd full ratio``, ``mon osd backfillfull ratio`` and +``mon osd nearfull ratio``. + +Full ``ceph-osds`` will be reported by ``ceph health``:: + + ceph health + HEALTH_WARN 1 nearfull osd(s) + +Or:: + + ceph health detail + HEALTH_ERR 1 full osd(s); 1 backfillfull osd(s); 1 nearfull osd(s) + osd.3 is full at 97% + osd.4 is backfill full at 91% + osd.2 is near full at 87% + +The best way to deal with a full cluster is to add new ``ceph-osds``, allowing +the cluster to redistribute data to the newly available storage. + +If you cannot start an OSD because it is full, you may delete some data by deleting +some placement group directories in the full OSD. + +.. important:: If you choose to delete a placement group directory on a full OSD, + **DO NOT** delete the same placement group directory on another full OSD, or + **YOU MAY LOSE DATA**. You **MUST** maintain at least one copy of your data on + at least one OSD. + +See `Monitor Config Reference`_ for additional details. + + +OSDs are Slow/Unresponsive +========================== + +A commonly recurring issue involves slow or unresponsive OSDs. Ensure that you +have eliminated other troubleshooting possibilities before delving into OSD +performance issues. For example, ensure that your network(s) is working properly +and your OSDs are running. Check to see if OSDs are throttling recovery traffic. + +.. tip:: Newer versions of Ceph provide better recovery handling by preventing + recovering OSDs from using up system resources so that ``up`` and ``in`` + OSDs are not available or are otherwise slow. + + +Networking Issues +----------------- + +Ceph is a distributed storage system, so it depends upon networks to peer with +OSDs, replicate objects, recover from faults and check heartbeats. Networking +issues can cause OSD latency and flapping OSDs. See `Flapping OSDs`_ for +details. + +Ensure that Ceph processes and Ceph-dependent processes are connected and/or +listening. :: + + netstat -a | grep ceph + netstat -l | grep ceph + sudo netstat -p | grep ceph + +Check network statistics. :: + + netstat -s + + +Drive Configuration +------------------- + +A storage drive should only support one OSD. Sequential read and sequential +write throughput can bottleneck if other processes share the drive, including +journals, operating systems, monitors, other OSDs and non-Ceph processes. + +Ceph acknowledges writes *after* journaling, so fast SSDs are an +attractive option to accelerate the response time--particularly when +using the ``XFS`` or ``ext4`` filesystems. By contrast, the ``btrfs`` +filesystem can write and journal simultaneously. (Note, however, that +we recommend against using ``btrfs`` for production deployments.) + +.. note:: Partitioning a drive does not change its total throughput or + sequential read/write limits. Running a journal in a separate partition + may help, but you should prefer a separate physical drive. + + +Bad Sectors / Fragmented Disk +----------------------------- + +Check your disks for bad sectors and fragmentation. This can cause total throughput +to drop substantially. + + +Co-resident Monitors/OSDs +------------------------- + +Monitors are generally light-weight processes, but they do lots of ``fsync()``, +which can interfere with other workloads, particularly if monitors run on the +same drive as your OSDs. Additionally, if you run monitors on the same host as +the OSDs, you may incur performance issues related to: + +- Running an older kernel (pre-3.0) +- Running Argonaut with an old ``glibc`` +- Running a kernel with no syncfs(2) syscall. + +In these cases, multiple OSDs running on the same host can drag each other down +by doing lots of commits. That often leads to the bursty writes. + + +Co-resident Processes +--------------------- + +Spinning up co-resident processes such as a cloud-based solution, virtual +machines and other applications that write data to Ceph while operating on the +same hardware as OSDs can introduce significant OSD latency. Generally, we +recommend optimizing a host for use with Ceph and using other hosts for other +processes. The practice of separating Ceph operations from other applications +may help improve performance and may streamline troubleshooting and maintenance. + + +Logging Levels +-------------- + +If you turned logging levels up to track an issue and then forgot to turn +logging levels back down, the OSD may be putting a lot of logs onto the disk. If +you intend to keep logging levels high, you may consider mounting a drive to the +default path for logging (i.e., ``/var/log/ceph/$cluster-$name.log``). + + +Recovery Throttling +------------------- + +Depending upon your configuration, Ceph may reduce recovery rates to maintain +performance or it may increase recovery rates to the point that recovery +impacts OSD performance. Check to see if the OSD is recovering. + + +Kernel Version +-------------- + +Check the kernel version you are running. Older kernels may not receive +new backports that Ceph depends upon for better performance. + + +Kernel Issues with SyncFS +------------------------- + +Try running one OSD per host to see if performance improves. Old kernels +might not have a recent enough version of ``glibc`` to support ``syncfs(2)``. + + +Filesystem Issues +----------------- + +Currently, we recommend deploying clusters with XFS. + +We recommend against using btrfs or ext4. The btrfs filesystem has +many attractive features, but bugs in the filesystem may lead to +performance issues and suprious ENOSPC errors. We do not recommend +ext4 because xattr size limitations break our support for long object +names (needed for RGW). + +For more information, see `Filesystem Recommendations`_. + +.. _Filesystem Recommendations: ../configuration/filesystem-recommendations + + +Insufficient RAM +---------------- + +We recommend 1GB of RAM per OSD daemon. You may notice that during normal +operations, the OSD only uses a fraction of that amount (e.g., 100-200MB). +Unused RAM makes it tempting to use the excess RAM for co-resident applications, +VMs and so forth. However, when OSDs go into recovery mode, their memory +utilization spikes. If there is no RAM available, the OSD performance will slow +considerably. + + +Old Requests or Slow Requests +----------------------------- + +If a ``ceph-osd`` daemon is slow to respond to a request, it will generate log messages +complaining about requests that are taking too long. The warning threshold +defaults to 30 seconds, and is configurable via the ``osd op complaint time`` +option. When this happens, the cluster log will receive messages. + +Legacy versions of Ceph complain about 'old requests`:: + + osd.0 192.168.106.220:6800/18813 312 : [WRN] old request osd_op(client.5099.0:790 fatty_26485_object789 [write 0~4096] 2.5e54f643) v4 received at 2012-03-06 15:42:56.054801 currently waiting for sub ops + +New versions of Ceph complain about 'slow requests`:: + + {date} {osd.num} [WRN] 1 slow requests, 1 included below; oldest blocked for > 30.005692 secs + {date} {osd.num} [WRN] slow request 30.005692 seconds old, received at {date-time}: osd_op(client.4240.0:8 benchmark_data_ceph-1_39426_object7 [write 0~4194304] 0.69848840) v4 currently waiting for subops from [610] + + +Possible causes include: + +- A bad drive (check ``dmesg`` output) +- A bug in the kernel file system bug (check ``dmesg`` output) +- An overloaded cluster (check system load, iostat, etc.) +- A bug in the ``ceph-osd`` daemon. + +Possible solutions + +- Remove VMs Cloud Solutions from Ceph Hosts +- Upgrade Kernel +- Upgrade Ceph +- Restart OSDs + +Debugging Slow Requests +----------------------- + +If you run "ceph daemon osd.<id> dump_historic_ops" or "dump_ops_in_flight", +you will see a set of operations and a list of events each operation went +through.

Another advantage is that you can run a cluster network such that +it is not connected to the internet, thereby preventing some denial of service +attacks. When OSDs peer and check heartbeats, they use the cluster (back-end) +network when it's available. See `Monitor/OSD Interaction`_ for details. + +However, if the cluster (back-end) network fails or develops significant latency +while the public (front-end) network operates optimally, OSDs currently do not +handle this situation well. What happens is that OSDs mark each other ``down`` +on the monitor, while marking themselves ``up``. We call this scenario +'flapping`. + +If something is causing OSDs to 'flap' (repeatedly getting marked ``down`` and +then ``up`` again), you can force the monitors to stop the flapping with:: + + ceph osd set noup # prevent OSDs from getting marked up + ceph osd set nodown # prevent OSDs from getting marked down + +These flags are recorded in the osdmap structure:: + + ceph osd dump | grep flags + flags no-up,no-down + +You can clear the flags with:: + + ceph osd unset noup + ceph osd unset nodown + +Two other flags are supported, ``noin`` and ``noout``, which prevent +booting OSDs from being marked ``in`` (allocated data) or protect OSDs +from eventually being marked ``out`` (regardless of what the current value for +``mon osd down out interval`` is). + +.. note:: ``noup``, ``noout``, and ``nodown`` are temporary in the + sense that once the flags are cleared, the action they were blocking + should occur shortly after. The ``noin`` flag, on the other hand, + prevents OSDs from being marked ``in`` on boot, and any daemons that + started while the flag was set will remain that way. + + + + + + +.. _iostat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iostat +.. _Ceph Logging and Debugging: ../../configuration/ceph-conf#ceph-logging-and-debugging +.. _Logging and Debugging: ../log-and-debug +.. _Debugging and Logging: ../debug +.. _Monitor/OSD Interaction: ../../configuration/mon-osd-interaction +.. _Monitor Config Reference: ../../configuration/mon-config-ref +.. _monitoring your OSDs: ../../operations/monitoring-osd-pg +.. _subscribe to the ceph-devel email list: mailto:majordomo@vger.kernel.org?body=subscribe+ceph-devel +.. _unsubscribe from the ceph-devel email list: mailto:majordomo@vger.kernel.org?body=unsubscribe+ceph-devel +.. _subscribe to the ceph-users email list: mailto:ceph-users-join@lists.ceph.com +.. _unsubscribe from the ceph-users email list: mailto:ceph-users-leave@lists.ceph.com +.. _OS recommendations: ../../../start/os-recommendations +.. _ceph-devel: ceph-devel@vger.kernel.org |
