+ Ceph Storage Cluster APIs
+===========================
+
+The :term:`Ceph Storage Cluster` has a messaging layer protocol that enables
+clients to interact with a :term:`Ceph Monitor` and a :term:`Ceph OSD Daemon`.
+``librados`` provides this functionality to :term:`Ceph Clients` in the form of
+a library. All Ceph Clients either use ``librados`` or the same functionality
+encapsulated in ``librados`` to interact with the object store. For example,
+``librbd`` and ``libcephfs`` leverage this functionality. You may use
+``librados`` to interact with Ceph directly (e.g., an application that talks to
+Ceph, your own interface to Ceph, etc.).

+==========================
+ Introduction to librados
+==========================
+
+The :term:`Ceph Storage Cluster` provides the basic storage service that allows
+:term:`Ceph` to uniquely deliver **object, block, and file storage** in one
+unified system. However, you are not limited to using the RESTful, block, or
+POSIX interfaces. Based upon :abbr:`RADOS (Reliable Autonomic Distributed Object
+Store)`, the ``librados`` API enables you to create your own interface to the
+Ceph Storage Cluster.
+
+The ``librados`` API enables you to interact with the two types of daemons in
+the Ceph Storage Cluster:
+
+- The :term:`Ceph Monitor`, which maintains a master copy of the cluster map.
+- The :term:`Ceph OSD Daemon` (OSD), which stores data as objects on a storage node.
+
+.. ditaa::
+ +---------------------------------+
+ | Ceph Storage Cluster Protocol |
+ | (librados) |
+ +---------------------------------+
+ +---------------+ +---------------+
+ | OSDs | | Monitors |
+ +---------------+ +---------------+
+
+This guide provides a high-level introduction to using ``librados``.
+Refer to :doc:`../../architecture` for additional details of the Ceph
+Storage Cluster. To use the API, you need a running Ceph Storage Cluster.
+See `Installation (Quick)`_ for details.
+
+
+Step 1: Getting librados
+========================
+
+Your client application must bind with ``librados`` to connect to the Ceph
+Storage Cluster. You must install ``librados`` and any required packages to
+write applications that use ``librados``. The ``librados`` API is written in
+C++, with additional bindings for C, Python, Java and PHP.
+
+
+Getting librados for C/C++
+--------------------------
+
+To install ``librados`` development support files for C/C++ on Debian/Ubuntu
+distributions, execute the following::
+
+ sudo apt-get install librados-dev
+
+To install ``librados`` development support files for C/C++ on RHEL/CentOS
+distributions, execute the following::
+
+ sudo yum install librados2-devel
+
+Once you install ``librados`` for developers, you can find the required
+headers for C/C++ under ``/usr/include/rados``. ::
+
+ ls /usr/include/rados
+
+
+Getting librados for Python
+---------------------------
+
+The ``rados`` module provides ``librados`` support to Python
+applications. The ``librados-dev`` package for Debian/Ubuntu
+and the ``librados2-devel`` package for RHEL/CentOS will install the
+``python-rados`` package for you. You may install ``python-rados``
+directly too.
+
+To install ``librados`` development support files for Python on Debian/Ubuntu
+distributions, execute the following::
+
+ sudo apt-get install python-rados
+
+To install ``librados`` development support files for Python on RHEL/CentOS
+distributions, execute the following::
+
+ sudo yum install python-rados
+
+You can find the module under ``/usr/share/pyshared`` on Debian systems,
+or under ``/usr/lib/python*/site-packages`` on CentOS/RHEL systems.
+
+
+Getting librados for Java
+-------------------------
+
+To install ``librados`` for Java, you need to execute the following procedure:
+
+#. Install ``jna.jar``. For Debian/Ubuntu, execute::
+
+ sudo apt-get install libjna-java
+
+ For CentOS/RHEL, execute::
+
+ sudo yum install jna
+
+ The JAR files are located in ``/usr/share/java``.
+
+#. Clone the ``rados-java`` repository::
+
+ git clone --recursive https://github.com/ceph/rados-java.git
+
+#. Build the ``rados-java`` repository::
+
+ cd rados-java
+ ant
+
+ The JAR file is located under ``rados-java/target``.
+
+#. Copy the JAR for RADOS to a common location (e.g., ``/usr/share/java``) and
+ ensure that it and the JNA JAR are in your JVM's classpath. For example::
+
+ sudo cp target/rados-0.1.3.jar /usr/share/java/rados-0.1.3.jar
+ sudo ln -s /usr/share/java/jna-3.2.7.jar /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/ext/jna-3.2.7.jar
+ sudo ln -s /usr/share/java/rados-0.1.3.jar /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/ext/rados-0.1.3.jar
+
+To build the documentation, execute the following::
+
+ ant docs
+
+
+Getting librados for PHP
+-------------------------
+
+To install the ``librados`` extension for PHP, you need to execute the following procedure:
+
+#. Install php-dev. For Debian/Ubuntu, execute::
+
+ sudo apt-get install php5-dev build-essential
+
+ For CentOS/RHEL, execute::
+
+ sudo yum install php-devel
+
+#. Clone the ``phprados`` repository::
+
+ git clone https://github.com/ceph/phprados.git
+
+#. Build ``phprados``::
+
+ cd phprados
+ phpize
+ ./configure
+ make
+ sudo make install
+
+#. Enable ``phprados`` in php.ini by adding::
+
+ extension=rados.so
+
+
+Step 2: Configuring a Cluster Handle
+====================================
+
+A :term:`Ceph Client`, via ``librados``, interacts directly with OSDs to store
+and retrieve data. To interact with OSDs, the client app must invoke
+``librados`` and connect to a Ceph Monitor. Once connected, ``librados``
+retrieves the :term:`Cluster Map` from the Ceph Monitor. When the client app
+wants to read or write data, it creates an I/O context and binds to a
+:term:`pool`. The pool has an associated :term:`ruleset` that defines how it
+will place data in the storage cluster. Via the I/O context, the client
+provides the object name to ``librados``, which takes the object name
+and the cluster map (i.e., the topology of the cluster) and `computes`_ the
+placement group and `OSD`_ for locating the data. Then the client application
+can read or write data. The client app doesn't need to learn about the topology
+of the cluster directly.
+
+.. ditaa::
+ +--------+ Retrieves +---------------+
+ | Client |------------>| Cluster Map |
+ +--------+ +---------------+
+ |
+ v Writes
+ /-----\
+ | obj |
+ \-----/
+ | To
+ v
+ +--------+ +---------------+
+ | Pool |---------->| CRUSH Ruleset |
+ +--------+ Selects +---------------+
+
+
+The Ceph Storage Cluster handle encapsulates the client configuration, including:
+
+- The `user ID`_ for ``rados_create()`` or user name for ``rados_create2()``
+ (preferred).
+- The :term:`cephx` authentication key
+- The monitor ID and IP address
+- Logging levels
+- Debugging levels
+
+Thus, the first steps in using the cluster from your app are to 1) create
+a cluster handle that your app will use to connect to the storage cluster,
+and then 2) use that handle to connect. To connect to the cluster, the
+app must supply a monitor address, a username and an authentication key
+(cephx is enabled by default).
+
+.. tip:: Talking to different Ceph Storage Clusters – or to the same cluster
+ with different users – requires different cluster handles.
+
+RADOS provides a number of ways for you to set the required values. For
+the monitor and encryption key settings, an easy way to handle them is to ensure
+that your Ceph configuration file contains a ``keyring`` path to a keyring file
+and at least one monitor address (e.g,. ``mon host``). For example::
+
+ [global]
+ mon host = 192.168.1.1
+ keyring = /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring
+
+Once you create the handle, you can read a Ceph configuration file to configure
+the handle. You can also pass arguments to your app and parse them with the
+function for parsing command line arguments (e.g., ``rados_conf_parse_argv()``),
+or parse Ceph environment variables (e.g., ``rados_conf_parse_env()``). Some
+wrappers may not implement convenience methods, so you may need to implement
+these capabilities. The following diagram provides a high-level flow for the
+initial connection.
+
+
+.. ditaa:: +---------+ +---------+
+ | Client | | Monitor |
+ +---------+ +---------+
+ | |
+ |-----+ create |
+ | | cluster |
+ |<----+ handle |
+ | |
+ |-----+ read |
+ | | config |
+ |<----+ file |
+ | |
+ | connect |
+ |-------------->|
+ | |
+ |<--------------|
+ | connected |
+ | |
+
+
+Once connected, your app can invoke functions that affect the whole cluster
+with only the cluster handle. For example, once you have a cluster
+handle, you can:
+
+- Get cluster statistics
+- Use Pool Operation (exists, create, list, delete)
+- Get and set the configuration
+
+
+One of the powerful features of Ceph is the ability to bind to different pools.
+Each pool may have a different number of placement groups, object replicas and
+replication strategies. For example, a pool could be set up as a "hot" pool that
+uses SSDs for frequently used objects or a "cold" pool that uses erasure coding.
+
+The main difference in the various ``librados`` bindings is between C and
+the object-oriented bindings for C++, Java and Python. The object-oriented
+bindings use objects to represent cluster handles, IO Contexts, iterators,
+exceptions, etc.
+
+
+C Example
+---------
+
+For C, creating a simple cluster handle using the ``admin`` user, configuring
+it and connecting to the cluster might look something like this:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <stdio.h>
+ #include <stdlib.h>
+ #include <string.h>
+ #include <rados/librados.h>
+
+ int main (int argc, const char **argv)
+ {
+
+ /* Declare the cluster handle and required arguments. */
+ rados_t cluster;
+ char cluster_name[] = "ceph";
+ char user_name[] = "client.admin";
+ uint64_t flags;
+
+ /* Initialize the cluster handle with the "ceph" cluster name and the "client.admin" user */
+ int err;
+ err = rados_create2(&cluster, cluster_name, user_name, flags);
+
+ if (err < 0) {
+ fprintf(stderr, "%s: Couldn't create the cluster handle! %s\n", argv[0], strerror(-err));
+ exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
+ } else {
+ printf("\nCreated a cluster handle.\n");
+ }
+
+
+ /* Read a Ceph configuration file to configure the cluster handle. */
+ err = rados_conf_read_file(cluster, "/etc/ceph/ceph.conf");
+ if (err < 0) {
+ fprintf(stderr, "%s: cannot read config file: %s\n", argv[0], strerror(-err));
+ exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
+ } else {
+ printf("\nRead the config file.\n");
+ }
+
+ /* Read command line arguments */
+ err = rados_conf_parse_argv(cluster, argc, argv);
+ if (err < 0) {
+ fprintf(stderr, "%s: cannot parse command line arguments: %s\n", argv[0], strerror(-err));
+ exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
+ } else {
+ printf("\nRead the command line arguments.\n");
+ }
+
+ /* Connect to the cluster */
+ err = rados_connect(cluster);
+ if (err < 0) {
+ fprintf(stderr, "%s: cannot connect to cluster: %s\n", argv[0], strerror(-err));
+ exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
+ } else {
+ printf("\nConnected to the cluster.\n");
+ }
+
+ }
+
+Compile your client and link to ``librados`` using ``-lrados``. For example::
+
+ gcc ceph-client.c -lrados -o ceph-client
+
+
+C++ Example
+-----------
+
+The Ceph project provides a C++ example in the ``ceph/examples/librados``
+directory. For C++, a simple cluster handle using the ``admin`` user requires
+you to initialize a ``librados::Rados`` cluster handle object:
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+ #include <iostream>
+ #include <string>
+ #include <rados/librados.hpp>
+
+ int main(int argc, const char **argv)
+ {
+
+ int ret = 0;
+
+ /* Declare the cluster handle and required variables. */
+ librados::Rados cluster;
+ char cluster_name[] = "ceph";
+ char user_name[] = "client.admin";
+ uint64_t flags = 0;
+
+ /* Initialize the cluster handle with the "ceph" cluster name and "client.admin" user */
+ {
+ ret = cluster.init2(user_name, cluster_name, flags);
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ std::cerr << "Couldn't initialize the cluster handle! error " << ret << std::endl;
+ return EXIT_FAILURE;
+ } else {
+ std::cout << "Created a cluster handle." << std::endl;
+ }
+ }
+
+ /* Read a Ceph configuration file to configure the cluster handle. */
+ {
+ ret = cluster.conf_read_file("/etc/ceph/ceph.conf");
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ std::cerr << "Couldn't read the Ceph configuration file! error " << ret << std::endl;
+ return EXIT_FAILURE;
+ } else {
+ std::cout << "Read the Ceph configuration file." << std::endl;
+ }
+ }
+
+ /* Read command line arguments */
+ {
+ ret = cluster.conf_parse_argv(argc, argv);
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ std::cerr << "Couldn't parse command line options! error " << ret << std::endl;
+ return EXIT_FAILURE;
+ } else {
+ std::cout << "Parsed command line options." << std::endl;
+ }
+ }
+
+ /* Connect to the cluster */
+ {
+ ret = cluster.connect();
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ std::cerr << "Couldn't connect to cluster! error " << ret << std::endl;
+ return EXIT_FAILURE;
+ } else {
+ std::cout << "Connected to the cluster." << std::endl;
+ }
+ }
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+
+Compile the source; then, link ``librados`` using ``-lrados``.
+For example::
+
+ g++ -g -c ceph-client.cc -o ceph-client.o
+ g++ -g ceph-client.o -lrados -o ceph-client
+
+
+
+Python Example
+--------------
+
+Python uses the ``admin`` id and the ``ceph`` cluster name by default, and
+will read the standard ``ceph.conf`` file if the conffile parameter is
+set to the empty string. The Python binding converts C++ errors
+into exceptions.
+
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ import rados
+
+ try:
+ cluster = rados.Rados(conffile='')
+ except TypeError as e:
+ print 'Argument validation error: ', e
+ raise e
+
+ print "Created cluster handle."
+
+ try:
+ cluster.connect()
+ except Exception as e:
+ print "connection error: ", e
+ raise e
+ finally:
+ print "Connected to the cluster."
+
+
+Execute the example to verify that it connects to your cluster. ::
+
+ python ceph-client.py
+
+
+Java Example
+------------
+
+Java requires you to specify the user ID (``admin``) or user name
+(``client.admin``), and uses the ``ceph`` cluster name by default . The Java
+binding converts C++-based errors into exceptions.
+
+.. code-block:: java
+
+ import com.ceph.rados.Rados;
+ import com.ceph.rados.RadosException;
+
+ import java.io.File;
+
+ public class CephClient {
+ public static void main (String args[]){
+
+ try {
+ Rados cluster = new Rados("admin");
+ System.out.println("Created cluster handle.");
+
+ File f = new File("/etc/ceph/ceph.conf");
+ cluster.confReadFile(f);
+ System.out.println("Read the configuration file.");
+
+ cluster.connect();
+ System.out.println("Connected to the cluster.");
+
+ } catch (RadosException e) {
+ System.out.println(e.getMessage() + ": " + e.getReturnValue());
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+
+Compile the source; then, run it. If you have copied the JAR to
+``/usr/share/java`` and sym linked from your ``ext`` directory, you won't need
+to specify the classpath. For example::
+
+ javac CephClient.java
+ java CephClient
+
+
+PHP Example
+------------
+
+With the RADOS extension enabled in PHP you can start creating a new cluster handle very easily:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+ <?php
+
+ $r = rados_create();
+ rados_conf_read_file($r, '/etc/ceph/ceph.conf');
+ if (!rados_connect($r)) {
+ echo "Failed to connect to Ceph cluster";
+ } else {
+ echo "Successfully connected to Ceph cluster";
+ }
+
+
+Save this as rados.php and run the code::
+
+ php rados.php
+
+
+Step 3: Creating an I/O Context
+===============================
+
+Once your app has a cluster handle and a connection to a Ceph Storage Cluster,
+you may create an I/O Context and begin reading and writing data. An I/O Context
+binds the connection to a specific pool. The user must have appropriate
+`CAPS`_ permissions to access the specified pool. For example, a user with read
+access but not write access will only be able to read data. I/O Context
+functionality includes:
+
+- Write/read data and extended attributes
+- List and iterate over objects and extended attributes
+- Snapshot pools, list snapshots, etc.
+
+
+.. ditaa:: +---------+ +---------+ +---------+
+ | Client | | Monitor | | OSD |
+ +---------+ +---------+ +---------+
+ | | |
+ |-----+ create | |
+ | | I/O | |
+ |<----+ context | |
+ | | |
+ | write data | |
+ |---------------+-------------->|
+ | | |
+ | write ack | |
+ |<--------------+---------------|
+ | | |
+ | write xattr | |
+ |---------------+-------------->|
+ | | |
+ | xattr ack | |
+ |<--------------+---------------|
+ | | |
+ | read data | |
+ |---------------+-------------->|
+ | | |
+ | read ack | |
+ |<--------------+---------------|
+ | | |
+ | remove data | |
+ |---------------+-------------->|
+ | | |
+ | remove ack | |
+ |<--------------+---------------|
+
+
+
+RADOS enables you to interact both synchronously and asynchronously. Once your
+app has an I/O Context, read/write operations only require you to know the
+object/xattr name. The CRUSH algorithm encapsulated in ``librados`` uses the
+cluster map to identify the appropriate OSD. OSD daemons handle the replication,
+as described in `Smart Daemons Enable Hyperscale`_. The ``librados`` library also
+maps objects to placement groups, as described in `Calculating PG IDs`_.
+
+The following examples use the default ``data`` pool. However, you may also
+use the API to list pools, ensure they exist, or create and delete pools. For
+the write operations, the examples illustrate how to use synchronous mode. For
+the read operations, the examples illustrate how to use asynchronous mode.
+
+.. important:: Use caution when deleting pools with this API. If you delete
+ a pool, the pool and ALL DATA in the pool will be lost.
+
+
+C Example

+Step 4: Closing Sessions
+========================
+
+Once your app finishes with the I/O Context and cluster handle, the app should

+ Librados (C)
+==============
+
+.. highlight:: c
+
+`librados` provides low-level access to the RADOS service. For an
+overview of RADOS, see :doc:`../../architecture`.
+
+
+Example: connecting and writing an object
+=========================================
+
+To use `Librados`, you instantiate a :c:type:`rados_t` variable (a cluster handle) and
+call :c:func:`rados_create()` with a pointer to it::
+
+ int err;
+ rados_t cluster;
+
+ err = rados_create(&cluster, NULL);
+ if (err < 0) {
+ fprintf(stderr, "%s: cannot create a cluster handle: %s\n", argv[0], strerror(-err));
+ exit(1);
+ }
+
+Then you configure your :c:type:`rados_t` to connect to your cluster,
+either by setting individual values (:c:func:`rados_conf_set()`),
+using a configuration file (:c:func:`rados_conf_read_file()`), using
+command line options (:c:func:`rados_conf_parse_argv`), or an
+environment variable (:c:func:`rados_conf_parse_env()`)::
+
+ err = rados_conf_read_file(cluster, "/path/to/myceph.conf");
+ if (err < 0) {
+ fprintf(stderr, "%s: cannot read config file: %s\n", argv[0], strerror(-err));
+ exit(1);
+ }
+
+Once the cluster handle is configured, you can connect to the cluster with :c:func:`rados_connect()`::
+
+ err = rados_connect(cluster);
+ if (err < 0) {
+ fprintf(stderr, "%s: cannot connect to cluster: %s\n", argv[0], strerror(-err));
+ exit(1);
+ }
+
+Then you open an "IO context", a :c:type:`rados_ioctx_t`, with :c:func:`rados_ioctx_create()`::
+
+ rados_ioctx_t io;
+ char *poolname = "mypool";
+
+ err = rados_ioctx_create(cluster, poolname, &io);
+ if (err < 0) {
+ fprintf(stderr, "%s: cannot open rados pool %s: %s\n", argv[0], poolname, strerror(-err));
+ rados_shutdown(cluster);
+ exit(1);
+ }
+
+Note that the pool you try to access must exist.
+
+Then you can use the RADOS data manipulation functions, for example
+write into an object called ``greeting`` with
+:c:func:`rados_write_full()`::
+
+ err = rados_write_full(io, "greeting", "hello", 5);
+ if (err < 0) {
+ fprintf(stderr, "%s: cannot write pool %s: %s\n", argv[0], poolname, strerror(-err));
+ rados_ioctx_destroy(io);
+ rados_shutdown(cluster);
+ exit(1);
+ }
+
+In the end, you will want to close your IO context and connection to RADOS with :c:func:`rados_ioctx_destroy()` and :c:func:`rados_shutdown()`::
+
+ rados_ioctx_destroy(io);
+ rados_shutdown(cluster);
+
+
+Asychronous IO
+==============
+
+When doing lots of IO, you often don't need to wait for one operation
+to complete before starting the next one. `Librados` provides
+asynchronous versions of several operations:
+
+* :c:func:`rados_aio_write`
+* :c:func:`rados_aio_append`
+* :c:func:`rados_aio_write_full`
+* :c:func:`rados_aio_read`
+
+For each operation, you must first create a
+:c:type:`rados_completion_t` that represents what to do when the
+operation is safe or complete by calling
+:c:func:`rados_aio_create_completion`. If you don't need anything
+special to happen, you can pass NULL::
+
+ rados_completion_t comp;
+ err = rados_aio_create_completion(NULL, NULL, NULL, &comp);
+ if (err < 0) {
+ fprintf(stderr, "%s: could not create aio completion: %s\n", argv[0], strerror(-err));
+ rados_ioctx_destroy(io);
+ rados_shutdown(cluster);
+ exit(1);
+ }
+
+Now you can call any of the aio operations, and wait for it to
+be in memory or on disk on all replicas::
+
+ err = rados_aio_write(io, "foo", comp, "bar", 3, 0);
+ if (err < 0) {
+ fprintf(stderr, "%s: could not schedule aio write: %s\n", argv[0], strerror(-err));
+ rados_aio_release(comp);
+ rados_ioctx_destroy(io);
+ rados_shutdown(cluster);
+ exit(1);
+ }
+ rados_aio_wait_for_complete(comp); // in memory
+ rados_aio_wait_for_safe(comp); // on disk
+
+Finally, we need to free the memory used by the completion with :c:func:`rados_aio_release`::
+
+ rados_aio_release(comp);
+
+You can use the callbacks to tell your application when writes are
+durable, or when read buffers are full. For example, if you wanted to
+measure the latency of each operation when appending to several
+objects, you could schedule several writes and store the ack and
+commit time in the corresponding callback, then wait for all of them
+to complete using :c:func:`rados_aio_flush` before analyzing the
+latencies::
+
+ typedef struct {
+ struct timeval start;
+ struct timeval ack_end;
+ struct timeval commit_end;
+ } req_duration;
+
+ void ack_callback(rados_completion_t comp, void *arg) {
+ req_duration *dur = (req_duration *) arg;
+ gettimeofday(&dur->ack_end, NULL);
+ }
+
+ void commit_callback(rados_completion_t comp, void *arg) {
+ req_duration *dur = (req_duration *) arg;
+ gettimeofday(&dur->commit_end, NULL);
+ }
+
+ int output_append_latency(rados_ioctx_t io, const char *data, size_t len, size_t num_writes) {
+ req_duration times[num_writes];
+ rados_completion_t comps[num_writes];
+ for (size_t i = 0; i < num_writes; ++i) {
+ gettimeofday(&times[i].start, NULL);
+ int err = rados_aio_create_completion((void*) &times[i], ack_callback, commit_callback, &comps[i]);
+ if (err < 0) {
+ fprintf(stderr, "Error creating rados completion: %s\n", strerror(-err));
+ return err;
+ }
+ char obj_name[100];
+ snprintf(obj_name, sizeof(obj_name), "foo%ld", (unsigned long)i);
+ err = rados_aio_append(io, obj_name, comps[i], data, len);
+ if (err < 0) {
+ fprintf(stderr, "Error from rados_aio_append: %s", strerror(-err));
+ return err;
+ }
+ }
+ // wait until all requests finish *and* the callbacks complete
+ rados_aio_flush(io);
+ // the latencies can now be analyzed
+ printf("Request # | Ack latency (s) | Commit latency (s)\n");
+ for (size_t i = 0; i < num_writes; ++i) {
+ // don't forget to free the completions
+ rados_aio_release(comps[i]);
+ struct timeval ack_lat, commit_lat;
+ timersub(&times[i].ack_end, &times[i].start, &ack_lat);
+ timersub(&times[i].commit_end, &times[i].start, &commit_lat);
+ printf("%9ld | %8ld.%06ld | %10ld.%06ld\n", (unsigned long) i, ack_lat.tv_sec, ack_lat.tv_usec, commit_lat.tv_sec, commit_lat.tv_usec);
+ }
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+Note that all the :c:type:`rados_completion_t` must be freed with :c:func:`rados_aio_release` to avoid leaking memory.

+===========================
+SDK for Ceph Object Classes
+===========================
+
+`Ceph` can be extended by creating shared object classes called `Ceph Object
+Classes`. The existing framework to build these object classes has dependencies
+on the internal functionality of `Ceph`, which restricts users to build object
+classes within the tree. The aim of this project is to create an independent
+object class interface, which can be used to build object classes outside the
+`Ceph` tree. This allows us to have two types of object classes, 1) those that
+have in-tree dependencies and reside in the tree and 2) those that can make use
+of the `Ceph Object Class SDK framework` and can be built outside of the `Ceph`
+tree because they do not depend on any internal implementation of `Ceph`. This
+project decouples object class development from Ceph and encourages creation
+and distribution of object classes as packages.
+
+In order to demonstrate the use of this framework, we have provided an example
+called ``cls_sdk``, which is a very simple object class that makes use of the
+SDK framework. This object class resides in the ``src/cls`` directory.
+
+Installing objclass.h
+---------------------
+
+The object class interface that enables out-of-tree development of object
+classes resides in ``src/include/rados/`` and gets installed with `Ceph`
+installation. After running ``make install``, you should be able to see it
+in ``<prefix>/include/rados``. ::
+
+ ls /usr/local/include/rados
+
+Using the SDK example
+---------------------
+
+The ``cls_sdk`` object class resides in ``src/cls/sdk/``. This gets built and
+loaded into Ceph, with the Ceph build process. You can run the
+``ceph_test_cls_sdk`` unittest, which resides in ``src/test/cls_sdk/``,
+to test this class.

+===================
+ Librados (Python)
+===================
+
+The ``rados`` module is a thin Python wrapper for ``librados``.
+
+Installation
+============
+
+To install Python libraries for Ceph, see `Getting librados for Python`_.
+
+
+Getting Started
+===============
+
+You can create your own Ceph client using Python. The following tutorial will
+show you how to import the Ceph Python module, connect to a Ceph cluster, and
+perform object operations as a ``client.admin`` user.
+
+.. note:: To use the Ceph Python bindings, you must have access to a
+ running Ceph cluster. To set one up quickly, see `Getting Started`_.
+
+First, create a Python source file for your Ceph client. ::
+ :linenos:
+
+ sudo vim client.py
+
+
+Import the Module
+-----------------
+
+To use the ``rados`` module, import it into your source file.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+ :linenos:
+
+ import rados
+
+
+Configure a Cluster Handle
+--------------------------
+
+Before connecting to the Ceph Storage Cluster, create a cluster handle. By
+default, the cluster handle assumes a cluster named ``ceph`` (i.e., the default
+for deployment tools, and our Getting Started guides too), and a
+``client.admin`` user name. You may change these defaults to suit your needs.
+
+To connect to the Ceph Storage Cluster, your application needs to know where to
+find the Ceph Monitor. Provide this information to your application by
+specifying the path to your Ceph configuration file, which contains the location
+of the initial Ceph monitors.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+ :linenos:
+
+ import rados, sys
+
+ #Create Handle Examples.
+ cluster = rados.Rados(conffile='ceph.conf')
+ cluster = rados.Rados(conffile=sys.argv[1])
+ cluster = rados.Rados(conffile = 'ceph.conf', conf = dict (keyring = '/path/to/keyring'))
+
+Ensure that the ``conffile`` argument provides the path and file name of your
+Ceph configuration file. You may use the ``sys`` module to avoid hard-coding the
+Ceph configuration path and file name.
+
+Your Python client also requires a client keyring. For this example, we use the
+``client.admin`` key by default. If you would like to specify the keyring when
+creating the cluster handle, you may use the ``conf`` argument. Alternatively,
+you may specify the keyring path in your Ceph configuration file. For example,
+you may add something like the following line to you Ceph configuration file::
+
+ keyring = /path/to/ceph.client.admin.keyring
+
+For additional details on modifying your configuration via Python, see `Configuration`_.
+
+
+Connect to the Cluster
+----------------------
+
+Once you have a cluster handle configured, you may connect to the cluster.
+With a connection to the cluster, you may execute methods that return
+information about the cluster.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+ :linenos:
+ :emphasize-lines: 7
+
+ import rados, sys
+
+ cluster = rados.Rados(conffile='ceph.conf')
+ print "\nlibrados version: " + str(cluster.version())
+ print "Will attempt to connect to: " + str(cluster.conf_get('mon initial members'))
+
+ cluster.connect()
+ print "\nCluster ID: " + cluster.get_fsid()
+
+ print "\n\nCluster Statistics"
+ print "=================="
+ cluster_stats = cluster.get_cluster_stats()
+
+ for key, value in cluster_stats.iteritems():
+ print key, value
+
+
+By default, Ceph authentication is ``on``. Your application will need to know
+the location of the keyring. The ``python-ceph`` module doesn't have the default
+location, so you need to specify the keyring path. The easiest way to specify
+the keyring is to add it to the Ceph configuration file. The following Ceph
+configuration file example uses the ``client.admin`` keyring you generated with
+``ceph-deploy``.
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+ :linenos:
+
+ [global]
+ ...
+ keyring=/path/to/keyring/ceph.client.admin.keyring
+
+
+Manage Pools
+------------
+
+When connected to the cluster, the ``Rados`` API allows you to manage pools. You
+can list pools, check for the existence of a pool, create a pool and delete a
+pool.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+ :linenos:
+ :emphasize-lines: 6, 13, 18, 25
+
+ print "\n\nPool Operations"
+ print "==============="
+
+ print "\nAvailable Pools"
+ print "----------------"
+ pools = cluster.list_pools()
+
+ for pool in pools:
+ print pool
+
+ print "\nCreate 'test' Pool"
+ print "------------------"
+ cluster.create_pool('test')
+
+ print "\nPool named 'test' exists: " + str(cluster.pool_exists('test'))
+ print "\nVerify 'test' Pool Exists"
+ print "-------------------------"
+ pools = cluster.list_pools()
+
+ for pool in pools:
+ print pool
+
+ print "\nDelete 'test' Pool"
+ print "------------------"
+ cluster.delete_pool('test')
+ print "\nPool named 'test' exists: " + str(cluster.pool_exists('test'))
+
+
+
+Input/Output Context
+--------------------
+
+Reading from and writing to the Ceph Storage Cluster requires an input/output
+context (ioctx). You can create an ioctx with the ``open_ioctx()`` method of the
+``Rados`` class. The ``ioctx_name`` parameter is the name of the pool you wish
+to use.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+ :linenos:
+
+ ioctx = cluster.open_ioctx('data')
+
+
+Once you have an I/O context, you can read/write objects, extended attributes,
+and perform a number of other operations. After you complete operations, ensure
+that you close the connection. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+ :linenos:
+
+ print "\nClosing the connection."
+ ioctx.close()
+
+
+Writing, Reading and Removing Objects
+-------------------------------------
+
+Once you create an I/O context, you can write objects to the cluster. If you
+write to an object that doesn't exist, Ceph creates it. If you write to an
+object that exists, Ceph overwrites it (except when you specify a range, and
+then it only overwrites the range). You may read objects (and object ranges)
+from the cluster. You may also remove objects from the cluster. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+ :linenos:
+ :emphasize-lines: 2, 5, 8
+
+ print "\nWriting object 'hw' with contents 'Hello World!' to pool 'data'."
+ ioctx.write_full("hw", "Hello World!")
+
+ print "\n\nContents of object 'hw'\n------------------------\n"
+ print ioctx.read("hw")
+
+ print "\nRemoving object 'hw'"
+ ioctx.remove_object("hw")
+
+
+Writing and Reading XATTRS
+--------------------------
+
+Once you create an object, you can write extended attributes (XATTRs) to
+the object and read XATTRs from the object. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+ :linenos:
+ :emphasize-lines: 2, 5
+
+ print "\n\nWriting XATTR 'lang' with value 'en_US' to object 'hw'"
+ ioctx.set_xattr("hw", "lang", "en_US")
+
+ print "\n\nGetting XATTR 'lang' from object 'hw'\n"
+ print ioctx.get_xattr("hw", "lang")
+
+
+Listing Objects
+---------------
+
+If you want to examine the list of objects in a pool, you may
+retrieve the list of objects and iterate over them with the object iterator.
+For example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+ :linenos:
+ :emphasize-lines: 1, 6, 7
+
+ object_iterator = ioctx.list_objects()
+
+ while True :
+
+ try :
+ rados_object = object_iterator.next()
+ print "Object contents = " + rados_object.read()
+
+ except StopIteration :
+ break
+
+The ``Object`` class provides a file-like interface to an object, allowing
+you to read and write content and extended attributes. Object operations using
+the I/O context provide additional functionality and asynchronous capabilities.
+
+
+Cluster Handle API
+==================
+
+The ``Rados`` class provides an interface into the Ceph Storage Daemon.
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+The ``Rados`` class provides methods for getting and setting configuration
+values, reading the Ceph configuration file, and parsing arguments. You
+do not need to be connected to the Ceph Storage Cluster to invoke the following
+methods. See `Storage Cluster Configuration`_ for details on settings.
+
+.. currentmodule:: rados
+.. automethod:: Rados.conf_get(option)
+.. automethod:: Rados.conf_set(option, val)
+.. automethod:: Rados.conf_read_file(path=None)
+.. automethod:: Rados.conf_parse_argv(args)
+.. automethod:: Rados.version()
+
+
+Connection Management
+---------------------
+
+Once you configure your cluster handle, you may connect to the cluster, check
+the cluster ``fsid``, retrieve cluster statistics, and disconnect (shutdown)
+from the cluster. You may also assert that the cluster handle is in a particular
+state (e.g., "configuring", "connecting", etc.).
+
+
+.. automethod:: Rados.connect(timeout=0)
+.. automethod:: Rados.shutdown()
+.. automethod:: Rados.get_fsid()
+.. automethod:: Rados.get_cluster_stats()
+.. automethod:: Rados.require_state(*args)
+
+
+Pool Operations
+---------------
+
+To use pool operation methods, you must connect to the Ceph Storage Cluster
+first. You may list the available pools, create a pool, check to see if a pool
+exists, and delete a pool.
+
+.. automethod:: Rados.list_pools()
+.. automethod:: Rados.create_pool(pool_name, auid=None, crush_rule=None)
+.. automethod:: Rados.pool_exists()
+.. automethod:: Rados.delete_pool(pool_name)
+
+
+
+Input/Output Context API
+========================
+
+To write data to and read data from the Ceph Object Store, you must create
+an Input/Output context (ioctx). The `Rados` class provides a `open_ioctx()`
+method. The remaining ``ioctx`` operations involve invoking methods of the
+`Ioctx` and other classes.
+
+.. automethod:: Rados.open_ioctx(ioctx_name)
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.require_ioctx_open()
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.get_stats()
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.change_auid(auid)
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.get_last_version()
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.close()
+
+
+.. Pool Snapshots
+.. --------------
+
+.. The Ceph Storage Cluster allows you to make a snapshot of a pool's state.
+.. Whereas, basic pool operations only require a connection to the cluster,
+.. snapshots require an I/O context.
+
+.. Ioctx.create_snap(self, snap_name)
+.. Ioctx.list_snaps(self)
+.. SnapIterator.next(self)
+.. Snap.get_timestamp(self)
+.. Ioctx.lookup_snap(self, snap_name)
+.. Ioctx.remove_snap(self, snap_name)
+
+.. not published. This doesn't seem ready yet.
+
+Object Operations
+-----------------
+
+The Ceph Storage Cluster stores data as objects. You can read and write objects
+synchronously or asynchronously. You can read and write from offsets. An object
+has a name (or key) and data.
+
+
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.aio_write(object_name, to_write, offset=0, oncomplete=None, onsafe=None)
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.aio_write_full(object_name, to_write, oncomplete=None, onsafe=None)
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.aio_append(object_name, to_append, oncomplete=None, onsafe=None)
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.write(key, data, offset=0)
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.write_full(key, data)
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.aio_flush()
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.set_locator_key(loc_key)
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.aio_read(object_name, length, offset, oncomplete)
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.read(key, length=8192, offset=0)
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.stat(key)
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.trunc(key, size)
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.remove_object(key)
+
+
+Object Extended Attributes
+--------------------------
+
+You may set extended attributes (XATTRs) on an object. You can retrieve a list
+of objects or XATTRs and iterate over them.
+
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.set_xattr(key, xattr_name, xattr_value)
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.get_xattrs(oid)
+.. automethod:: XattrIterator.next()
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.get_xattr(key, xattr_name)
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.rm_xattr(key, xattr_name)
+
+
+
+Object Interface
+================
+
+From an I/O context, you can retrieve a list of objects from a pool and iterate
+over them. The object interface provide makes each object look like a file, and
+you may perform synchronous operations on the objects. For asynchronous
+operations, you should use the I/O context methods.
+
+.. automethod:: Ioctx.list_objects()
+.. automethod:: ObjectIterator.next()
+.. automethod:: Object.read(length = 1024*1024)
+.. automethod:: Object.write(string_to_write)
+.. automethod:: Object.get_xattrs()
+.. automethod:: Object.get_xattr(xattr_name)
+.. automethod:: Object.set_xattr(xattr_name, xattr_value)
+.. automethod:: Object.rm_xattr(xattr_name)
+.. automethod:: Object.stat()
+.. automethod:: Object.remove()

+========================
+ Cephx Config Reference
+========================
+
+The ``cephx`` protocol is enabled by default. Cryptographic authentication has
+some computational costs, though they should generally be quite low. If the
+network environment connecting your client and server hosts is very safe and
+you cannot afford authentication, you can turn it off. **This is not generally
+recommended**.
+
+.. note:: If you disable authentication, you are at risk of a man-in-the-middle
+ attack altering your client/server messages, which could lead to disastrous
+ security effects.
+
+For creating users, see `User Management`_. For details on the architecture
+of Cephx, see `Architecture - High Availability Authentication`_.
+
+
+Deployment Scenarios
+====================
+
+There are two main scenarios for deploying a Ceph cluster, which impact
+how you initially configure Cephx. Most first time Ceph users use
+``ceph-deploy`` to create a cluster (easiest). For clusters using
+other deployment tools (e.g., Chef, Juju, Puppet, etc.), you will need
+to use the manual procedures or configure your deployment tool to
+bootstrap your monitor(s).
+
+ceph-deploy
+-----------
+
+When you deploy a cluster with ``ceph-deploy``, you do not have to bootstrap the
+monitor manually or create the ``client.admin`` user or keyring. The steps you
+execute in the `Storage Cluster Quick Start`_ will invoke ``ceph-deploy`` to do
+that for you.
+
+When you execute ``ceph-deploy new {initial-monitor(s)}``, Ceph will create a
+monitor keyring for you (only used to bootstrap monitors), and it will generate
+an initial Ceph configuration file for you, which contains the following
+authentication settings, indicating that Ceph enables authentication by
+default::
+
+ auth_cluster_required = cephx
+ auth_service_required = cephx
+ auth_client_required = cephx
+
+When you execute ``ceph-deploy mon create-initial``, Ceph will bootstrap the
+initial monitor(s), retrieve a ``ceph.client.admin.keyring`` file containing the
+key for the ``client.admin`` user. Additionally, it will also retrieve keyrings
+that give ``ceph-deploy`` and ``ceph-disk`` utilities the ability to prepare and
+activate OSDs and metadata servers.
+
+When you execute ``ceph-deploy admin {node-name}`` (**note:** Ceph must be
+installed first), you are pushing a Ceph configuration file and the
+``ceph.client.admin.keyring`` to the ``/etc/ceph`` directory of the node. You
+will be able to execute Ceph administrative functions as ``root`` on the command
+line of that node.
+
+
+Manual Deployment
+-----------------
+
+When you deploy a cluster manually, you have to bootstrap the monitor manually
+and create the ``client.admin`` user and keyring. To bootstrap monitors, follow
+the steps in `Monitor Bootstrapping`_. The steps for monitor bootstrapping are
+the logical steps you must perform when using third party deployment tools like
+Chef, Puppet, Juju, etc.
+
+
+Enabling/Disabling Cephx
+========================
+
+Enabling Cephx requires that you have deployed keys for your monitors,
+OSDs and metadata servers. If you are simply toggling Cephx on / off,
+you do not have to repeat the bootstrapping procedures.
+
+
+Enabling Cephx
+--------------
+
+When ``cephx`` is enabled, Ceph will look for the keyring in the default search
+path, which includes ``/etc/ceph/$cluster.$name.keyring``. You can override
+this location by adding a ``keyring`` option in the ``[global]`` section of
+your `Ceph configuration`_ file, but this is not recommended.
+
+Execute the following procedures to enable ``cephx`` on a cluster with
+authentication disabled. If you (or your deployment utility) have already
+generated the keys, you may skip the steps related to generating keys.
+
+#. Create a ``client.admin`` key, and save a copy of the key for your client
+ host::
+
+ ceph auth get-or-create client.admin mon 'allow *' mds 'allow *' osd 'allow *' -o /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring
+
+ **Warning:** This will clobber any existing
+ ``/etc/ceph/client.admin.keyring`` file. Do not perform this step if a
+ deployment tool has already done it for you. Be careful!
+
+#. Create a keyring for your monitor cluster and generate a monitor
+ secret key. ::
+
+ ceph-authtool --create-keyring /tmp/ceph.mon.keyring --gen-key -n mon. --cap mon 'allow *'
+
+#. Copy the monitor keyring into a ``ceph.mon.keyring`` file in every monitor's
+ ``mon data`` directory. For example, to copy it to ``mon.a`` in cluster ``ceph``,
+ use the following::
+
+ cp /tmp/ceph.mon.keyring /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-a/keyring
+
+#. Generate a secret key for every OSD, where ``{$id}`` is the OSD number::
+
+ ceph auth get-or-create osd.{$id} mon 'allow rwx' osd 'allow *' -o /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-{$id}/keyring
+
+#. Generate a secret key for every MDS, where ``{$id}`` is the MDS letter::
+
+ ceph auth get-or-create mds.{$id} mon 'allow rwx' osd 'allow *' mds 'allow *' -o /var/lib/ceph/mds/ceph-{$id}/keyring
+
+#. Enable ``cephx`` authentication by setting the following options in the
+ ``[global]`` section of your `Ceph configuration`_ file::
+
+ auth cluster required = cephx
+ auth service required = cephx
+ auth client required = cephx
+
+
+#. Start or restart the Ceph cluster. See `Operating a Cluster`_ for details.
+
+For details on bootstrapping a monitor manually, see `Manual Deployment`_.
+
+
+
+Disabling Cephx
+---------------
+
+The following procedure describes how to disable Cephx. If your cluster
+environment is relatively safe, you can offset the computation expense of
+running authentication. **We do not recommend it.** However, it may be easier
+during setup and/or troubleshooting to temporarily disable authentication.
+
+#. Disable ``cephx`` authentication by setting the following options in the
+ ``[global]`` section of your `Ceph configuration`_ file::
+
+ auth cluster required = none
+ auth service required = none
+ auth client required = none
+
+
+#. Start or restart the Ceph cluster. See `Operating a Cluster`_ for details.

+The most common way to provide these keys to the ``ceph`` administrative
+commands and clients is to include a Ceph keyring under the ``/etc/ceph``
+directory. For Cuttlefish and later releases using ``ceph-deploy``, the filename
+is usually ``ceph.client.admin.keyring`` (or ``$cluster.client.admin.keyring``).
+If you include the keyring under the ``/etc/ceph`` directory, you don't need to
+specify a ``keyring`` entry in your Ceph configuration file.
+
+We recommend copying the Ceph Storage Cluster's keyring file to nodes where you
+will run administrative commands, because it contains the ``client.admin`` key.
+
+You may use ``ceph-deploy admin`` to perform this task. See `Create an Admin
+Host`_ for details. To perform this step manually, execute the following::
+
+ sudo scp {user}@{ceph-cluster-host}:/etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring
+
+.. tip:: Ensure the ``ceph.keyring`` file has appropriate permissions set
+ (e.g., ``chmod 644``) on your client machine.
+
+You may specify the key itself in the Ceph configuration file using the ``key``
+setting (not recommended), or a path to a keyfile using the ``keyfile`` setting.
+
+
+``keyring``
+
+:Description: The path to the keyring file.
+:Type: String
+:Required: No
+:Default: ``/etc/ceph/$cluster.$name.keyring,/etc/ceph/$cluster.keyring,/etc/ceph/keyring,/etc/ceph/keyring.bin``
+
+
+``keyfile``
+
+:Description: The path to a key file (i.e,. a file containing only the key).
+:Type: String
+:Required: No
+:Default: None
+
+
+``key``
+
+:Description: The key (i.e., the text string of the key itself). Not recommended.
+:Type: String
+:Required: No
+:Default: None
+
+
+Daemon Keyrings
+---------------
+
+Administrative users or deployment tools (e.g., ``ceph-deploy``) may generate
+daemon keyrings in the same way as generating user keyrings. By default, Ceph
+stores daemons keyrings inside their data directory. The default keyring
+locations, and the capabilities necessary for the daemon to function, are shown
+below.
+
+``ceph-mon``
+
+:Location: ``$mon_data/keyring``
+:Capabilities: ``mon 'allow *'``
+
+``ceph-osd``
+
+:Location: ``$osd_data/keyring``
+:Capabilities: ``mon 'allow profile osd' osd 'allow *'``
+
+``ceph-mds``
+
+:Location: ``$mds_data/keyring``
+:Capabilities: ``mds 'allow' mon 'allow profile mds' osd 'allow rwx'``
+
+``radosgw``
+
+:Location: ``$rgw_data/keyring``
+:Capabilities: ``mon 'allow rwx' osd 'allow rwx'``
+
+
+.. note:: The monitor keyring (i.e., ``mon.``) contains a key but no
+ capabilities, and is not part of the cluster ``auth`` database.
+
+The daemon data directory locations default to directories of the form::
+
+ /var/lib/ceph/$type/$cluster-$id
+
+For example, ``osd.12`` would be::
+
+ /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-12
+
+You can override these locations, but it is not recommended.
+
+
+.. index:: signatures
+
+Signatures
+----------
+
+In Ceph Bobtail and subsequent versions, we prefer that Ceph authenticate all
+ongoing messages between the entities using the session key set up for that
+initial authentication. However, Argonaut and earlier Ceph daemons do not know
+how to perform ongoing message authentication. To maintain backward
+compatibility (e.g., running both Botbail and Argonaut daemons in the same
+cluster), message signing is **off** by default. If you are running Bobtail or
+later daemons exclusively, configure Ceph to require signatures.
+
+Like other parts of Ceph authentication, Ceph provides fine-grained control so
+you can enable/disable signatures for service messages between the client and
+Ceph, and you can enable/disable signatures for messages between Ceph daemons.
+
+
+``cephx require signatures``
+
+:Description: If set to ``true``, Ceph requires signatures on all message
+ traffic between the Ceph Client and the Ceph Storage Cluster, and
+ between daemons comprising the Ceph Storage Cluster.
+
+:Type: Boolean
+:Required: No
+:Default: ``false``
+
+
+``cephx cluster require signatures``
+
+:Description: If set to ``true``, Ceph requires signatures on all message
+ traffic between Ceph daemons comprising the Ceph Storage Cluster.
+
+:Type: Boolean
+:Required: No
+:Default: ``false``
+
+
+``cephx service require signatures``
+
+:Description: If set to ``true``, Ceph requires signatures on all message
+ traffic between Ceph Clients and the Ceph Storage Cluster.
+
+:Type: Boolean
+:Required: No
+:Default: ``false``
+
+
+``cephx sign messages``
+
+:Description: If the Ceph version supports message signing, Ceph will sign
+ all messages so they cannot be spoofed.
+
+:Type: Boolean
+:Default: ``true``
+
+
+Time to Live
+------------
+
+``auth service ticket ttl``
+
+:Description: When the Ceph Storage Cluster sends a Ceph Client a ticket for
+ authentication, the Ceph Storage Cluster assigns the ticket a
+ time to live.
+
+:Type: Double
+:Default: ``60*60``
+
+
+Backward Compatibility
+======================
+
+For Cuttlefish and earlier releases, see `Cephx`_.
+
+In Ceph Argonaut v0.48 and earlier versions, if you enable ``cephx``
+authentication, Ceph only authenticates the initial communication between the
+client and daemon; Ceph does not authenticate the subsequent messages they send
+to each other, which has security implications. In Ceph Bobtail and subsequent
+versions, Ceph authenticates all ongoing messages between the entities using the
+session key set up for that initial authentication.
+
+We identified a backward compatibility issue between Argonaut v0.48 (and prior
+versions) and Bobtail (and subsequent versions). During testing, if you
+attempted to use Argonaut (and earlier) daemons with Bobtail (and later)
+daemons, the Argonaut daemons did not know how to perform ongoing message
+authentication, while the Bobtail versions of the daemons insist on
+authenticating message traffic subsequent to the initial
+request/response--making it impossible for Argonaut (and prior) daemons to
+interoperate with Bobtail (and subsequent) daemons.
+
+We have addressed this potential problem by providing a means for Argonaut (and
+prior) systems to interact with Bobtail (and subsequent) systems. Here's how it
+works: by default, the newer systems will not insist on seeing signatures from
+older systems that do not know how to perform them, but will simply accept such
+messages without authenticating them. This new default behavior provides the
+advantage of allowing two different releases to interact. **We do not recommend
+this as a long term solution**. Allowing newer daemons to forgo ongoing
+authentication has the unfortunate security effect that an attacker with control
+of some of your machines or some access to your network can disable session
+security simply by claiming to be unable to sign messages.
+
+.. note:: Even if you don't actually run any old versions of Ceph,
+ the attacker may be able to force some messages to be accepted unsigned in the
+ default scenario. While running Cephx with the default scenario, Ceph still
+ authenticates the initial communication, but you lose desirable session security.
+
+If you know that you are not running older versions of Ceph, or you are willing
+to accept that old servers and new servers will not be able to interoperate, you
+can eliminate this security risk. If you do so, any Ceph system that is new
+enough to support session authentication and that has Cephx enabled will reject
+unsigned messages. To preclude new servers from interacting with old servers,
+include the following in the ``[global]`` section of your `Ceph
+configuration`_ file directly below the line that specifies the use of Cephx
+for authentication::
+
+ cephx require signatures = true ; everywhere possible
+
+You can also selectively require signatures for cluster internal
+communications only, separate from client-facing service::
+
+ cephx cluster require signatures = true ; for cluster-internal communication
+ cephx service require signatures = true ; for client-facing service
+
+An option to make a client require signatures from the cluster is not
+yet implemented.
+
+**We recommend migrating all daemons to the newer versions and enabling the
+foregoing flag** at the nearest practical time so that you may avail yourself
+of the enhanced authentication.
+
+.. note:: Ceph kernel modules do not support signatures yet.

+==========================
+BlueStore Config Reference
+==========================
+
+Devices
+=======
+
+BlueStore manages either one, two, or (in certain cases) three storage
+devices.
+
+In the simplest case, BlueStore consumes a single (primary) storage
+device. The storage device is normally partitioned into two parts:
+
+#. A small partition is formatted with XFS and contains basic metadata
+ for the OSD. This *data directory* includes information about the
+ OSD (its identifier, which cluster it belongs to, and its private
+ keyring.
+
+#. The rest of the device is normally a large partition occupying the
+ rest of the device that is managed directly by BlueStore contains
+ all of the actual data. This *primary device* is normally identifed
+ by a ``block`` symlink in data directory.
+
+It is also possible to deploy BlueStore across two additional devices:
+
+* A *WAL device* can be used for BlueStore's internal journal or
+ write-ahead log. It is identified by the ``block.wal`` symlink in
+ the data directory. It is only useful to use a WAL device if the
+ device is faster than the primary device (e.g., when it is on an SSD
+ and the primary device is an HDD).
+* A *DB device* can be used for storing BlueStore's internal metadata.
+ BlueStore (or rather, the embedded RocksDB) will put as much
+ metadata as it can on the DB device to improve performance. If the
+ DB device fills up, metadata will spill back onto the primary device
+ (where it would have been otherwise). Again, it is only helpful to
+ provision a DB device if it is faster than the primary device.
+
+If there is only a small amount of fast storage available (e.g., less
+than a gigabyte), we recommend using it as a WAL device. If there is
+more, provisioning a DB device makes more sense. The BlueStore
+journal will always be placed on the fastest device available, so
+using a DB device will provide the same benefit that the WAL device
+would while *also* allowing additional metadata to be stored there (if
+it will fix).
+
+A single-device BlueStore OSD can be provisioned with::
+
+ ceph-disk prepare --bluestore <device>
+
+To specify a WAL device and/or DB device, ::
+
+ ceph-disk prepare --bluestore <device> --block.wal <wal-device> --block-db <db-device>
+
+Cache size
+==========
+
+The amount of memory consumed by each OSD for BlueStore's cache is
+determined by the ``bluestore_cache_size`` configuration option. If
+that config option is not set (i.e., remains at 0), there is a
+different default value that is used depending on whether an HDD or
+SSD is used for the primary device (set by the
+``bluestore_cache_size_ssd`` and ``bluestore_cache_size_hdd`` config
+options).
+
+BlueStore and the rest of the Ceph OSD does the best it can currently
+to stick to the budgeted memory. Note that on top of the configured
+cache size, there is also memory consumed by the OSD itself, and
+generally some overhead due to memory fragmentation and other
+allocator overhead.
+
+The configured cache memory budget can be used in a few different ways:
+
+* Key/Value metadata (i.e., RocksDB's internal cache)
+* BlueStore metadata
+* BlueStore data (i.e., recently read or written object data)
+
+Cache memory usage is governed by the following options:
+``bluestore_cache_meta_ratio``, ``bluestore_cache_kv_ratio``, and
+``bluestore_cache_kv_max``. The fraction of the cache devoted to data
+is 1.0 minus the meta and kv ratios. The memory devoted to kv
+metadata (the RocksDB cache) is capped by ``bluestore_cache_kv_max``
+since our testing indicates there are diminishing returns beyond a
+certain point.
+
+``bluestore_cache_size``
+
+:Description: The amount of memory BlueStore will use for its cache. If zero, ``bluestore_cache_size_hdd`` or ``bluestore_cache_size_ssd`` will be used instead.
+:Type: Integer
+:Required: Yes
+:Default: ``0``
+
+``bluestore_cache_size_hdd``
+
+:Description: The default amount of memory BlueStore will use for its cache when backed by an HDD.
+:Type: Integer
+:Required: Yes
+:Default: ``1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024`` (1 GB)
+
+``bluestore_cache_size_ssd``
+
+:Description: The default amount of memory BlueStore will use for its cache when backed by an SSD.
+:Type: Integer
+:Required: Yes
+:Default: ``3 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024`` (3 GB)
+
+``bluestore_cache_meta_ratio``
+
+:Description: The ratio of cache devoted to metadata.
+:Type: Floating point
+:Required: Yes
+:Default: ``.01``
+
+``bluestore_cache_kv_ratio``
+
+:Description: The ratio of cache devoted to key/value data (rocksdb).
+:Type: Floating point
+:Required: Yes
+:Default: ``.99``
+
+``bluestore_cache_kv_max``
+
+:Description: The maximum amount of cache devoted to key/value data (rocksdb).
+:Type: Floating point
+:Required: Yes
+:Default: ``512 * 1024*1024`` (512 MB)
+
+
+Checksums
+=========
+
+BlueStore checksums all metadata and data written to disk. Metadata
+checksumming is handled by RocksDB and uses `crc32c`. Data
+checksumming is done by BlueStore and can make use of `crc32c`,
+`xxhash32`, or `xxhash64`. The default is `crc32c` and should be
+suitable for most purposes.
+
+Full data checksumming does increase the amount of metadata that
+BlueStore must store and manage. When possible, e.g., when clients
+hint that data is written and read sequentially, BlueStore will
+checksum larger blocks, but in many cases it must store a checksum
+value (usually 4 bytes) for every 4 kilobyte block of data.
+
+It is possible to use a smaller checksum value by truncating the
+checksum to two or one byte, reducing the metadata overhead. The
+trade-off is that the probability that a random error will not be
+detected is higher with a smaller checksum, going from about one if
+four billion with a 32-bit (4 byte) checksum to one is 65,536 for a
+16-bit (2 byte) checksum or one in 256 for an 8-bit (1 byte) checksum.
+The smaller checksum values can be used by selecting `crc32c_16` or
+`crc32c_8` as the checksum algorithm.
+
+The *checksum algorithm* can be set either via a per-pool
+``csum_type`` property or the global config option. For example, ::
+
+ ceph osd pool set <pool-name> csum_type <algorithm>
+
+``bluestore_csum_type``
+
+:Description: The default checksum algorithm to use.
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes
+:Valid Settings: ``none``, ``crc32c``, ``crc32c_16``, ``crc32c_8``, ``xxhash32``, ``xxhash64``
+:Default: ``crc32c``
+
+
+Inline Compression
+==================
+
+BlueStore supports inline compression using `snappy`, `zlib`, or
+`lz4`. Please note that the `lz4` compression plugin is not
+distributed in the official release.
+
+Whether data in BlueStore is compressed is determined by a combination
+of the *compression mode* and any hints associated with a write
+operation. The modes are:
+
+* **none**: Never compress data.
+* **passive**: Do not compress data unless the write operation as a
+ *compressible* hint set.
+* **aggressive**: Compress data unless the write operation as an
+ *incompressible* hint set.
+* **force**: Try to compress data no matter what.
+
+For more information about the *compressible* and *incompressible* IO
+hints, see :doc:`/api/librados/#rados_set_alloc_hint`.
+
+Note that regardless of the mode, if the size of the data chunk is not
+reduced sufficiently it will not be used and the original
+(uncompressed) data will be stored. For example, if the ``bluestore
+compression required ratio`` is set to ``.7`` then the compressed data
+must be 70% of the size of the original (or smaller).
+
+The *compression mode*, *compression algorithm*, *compression required
+ratio*, *min blob size*, and *max blob size* can be set either via a
+per-pool property or a global config option. Pool properties can be
+set with::
+
+ ceph osd pool set <pool-name> compression_algorithm <algorithm>
+ ceph osd pool set <pool-name> compression_mode <mode>
+ ceph osd pool set <pool-name> compression_required_ratio <ratio>

+

+==================
+ Configuring Ceph
+==================
+
+When you start the Ceph service, the initialization process activates a series
+of daemons that run in the background. A :term:`Ceph Storage Cluster` runs
+two types of daemons:
+
+- :term:`Ceph Monitor` (``ceph-mon``)
+- :term:`Ceph OSD Daemon` (``ceph-osd``)
+
+Ceph Storage Clusters that support the :term:`Ceph Filesystem` run at least one
+:term:`Ceph Metadata Server` (``ceph-mds``). Clusters that support :term:`Ceph
+Object Storage` run Ceph Gateway daemons (``radosgw``). For your convenience,
+each daemon has a series of default values (*i.e.*, many are set by
+``ceph/src/common/config_opts.h``). You may override these settings with a Ceph
+configuration file.
+
+
+.. _ceph-conf-file:
+
+The Configuration File
+======================
+
+When you start a Ceph Storage Cluster, each daemon looks for a Ceph
+configuration file (i.e., ``ceph.conf`` by default) that provides the cluster's
+configuration settings. For manual deployments, you need to create a Ceph
+configuration file. For tools that create configuration files for you (*e.g.*,
+``ceph-deploy``, Chef, etc.), you may use the information contained herein as a
+reference. The Ceph configuration file defines:
+
+- Cluster Identity
+- Authentication settings
+- Cluster membership
+- Host names
+- Host addresses
+- Paths to keyrings
+- Paths to journals
+- Paths to data
+- Other runtime options
+
+The default Ceph configuration file locations in sequential order include:
+
+#. ``$CEPH_CONF`` (*i.e.,* the path following the ``$CEPH_CONF``
+ environment variable)
+#. ``-c path/path`` (*i.e.,* the ``-c`` command line argument)
+#. ``/etc/ceph/ceph.conf``
+#. ``~/.ceph/config``
+#. ``./ceph.conf`` (*i.e.,* in the current working directory)
+
+
+The Ceph configuration file uses an *ini* style syntax. You can add comments
+by preceding comments with a pound sign (#) or a semi-colon (;). For example:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ # <--A number (#) sign precedes a comment.
+ ; A comment may be anything.
+ # Comments always follow a semi-colon (;) or a pound (#) on each line.
+ # The end of the line terminates a comment.
+ # We recommend that you provide comments in your configuration file(s).
+
+
+.. _ceph-conf-settings:
+
+Config Sections
+===============
+
+The configuration file can configure all Ceph daemons in a Ceph Storage Cluster,
+or all Ceph daemons of a particular type. To configure a series of daemons, the
+settings must be included under the processes that will receive the
+configuration as follows:
+
+``[global]``
+
+:Description: Settings under ``[global]`` affect all daemons in a Ceph Storage
+ Cluster.
+
+:Example: ``auth supported = cephx``
+
+``[osd]``
+
+:Description: Settings under ``[osd]`` affect all ``ceph-osd`` daemons in
+ the Ceph Storage Cluster, and override the same setting in
+ ``[global]``.
+
+:Example: ``osd journal size = 1000``
+
+``[mon]``
+
+:Description: Settings under ``[mon]`` affect all ``ceph-mon`` daemons in
+ the Ceph Storage Cluster, and override the same setting in
+ ``[global]``.
+
+:Example: ``mon addr = 10.0.0.101:6789``
+
+
+``[mds]``
+
+:Description: Settings under ``[mds]`` affect all ``ceph-mds`` daemons in
+ the Ceph Storage Cluster, and override the same setting in
+ ``[global]``.
+
+:Example: ``host = myserver01``
+
+``[client]``
+
+:Description: Settings under ``[client]`` affect all Ceph Clients
+ (e.g., mounted Ceph Filesystems, mounted Ceph Block Devices,
+ etc.).
+
+:Example: ``log file = /var/log/ceph/radosgw.log``
+
+
+Global settings affect all instances of all daemon in the Ceph Storage Cluster.
+Use the ``[global]`` setting for values that are common for all daemons in the
+Ceph Storage Cluster. You can override each ``[global]`` setting by:
+
+#. Changing the setting in a particular process type
+ (*e.g.,* ``[osd]``, ``[mon]``, ``[mds]`` ).
+
+#. Changing the setting in a particular process (*e.g.,* ``[osd.1]`` ).
+
+Overriding a global setting affects all child processes, except those that
+you specifically override in a particular daemon.
+
+A typical global setting involves activating authentication. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [global]
+ #Enable authentication between hosts within the cluster.
+ #v 0.54 and earlier
+ auth supported = cephx
+
+ #v 0.55 and after
+ auth cluster required = cephx
+ auth service required = cephx
+ auth client required = cephx
+
+
+You can specify settings that apply to a particular type of daemon. When you
+specify settings under ``[osd]``, ``[mon]`` or ``[mds]`` without specifying a
+particular instance, the setting will apply to all OSDs, monitors or metadata
+daemons respectively.
+
+A typical daemon-wide setting involves setting journal sizes, filestore
+settings, etc. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [osd]
+ osd journal size = 1000
+
+
+You may specify settings for particular instances of a daemon. You may specify
+an instance by entering its type, delimited by a period (.) and by the instance
+ID. The instance ID for a Ceph OSD Daemon is always numeric, but it may be
+alphanumeric for Ceph Monitors and Ceph Metadata Servers.
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [osd.1]
+ # settings affect osd.1 only.
+
+ [mon.a]
+ # settings affect mon.a only.
+
+ [mds.b]
+ # settings affect mds.b only.
+
+
+If the daemon you specify is a Ceph Gateway client, specify the daemon and the
+instance, delimited by a period (.). For example::
+
+ [client.radosgw.instance-name]
+ # settings affect client.radosgw.instance-name only.
+
+
+
+.. _ceph-metavariables:
+
+Metavariables
+=============
+
+Metavariables simplify Ceph Storage Cluster configuration dramatically. When a
+metavariable is set in a configuration value, Ceph expands the metavariable into
+a concrete value. Metavariables are very powerful when used within the
+``[global]``, ``[osd]``, ``[mon]``, ``[mds]`` or ``[client]`` sections of your
+configuration file. Ceph metavariables are similar to Bash shell expansion.
+
+Ceph supports the following metavariables:
+
+
+``$cluster``
+
+:Description: Expands to the Ceph Storage Cluster name. Useful when running
+ multiple Ceph Storage Clusters on the same hardware.
+
+:Example: ``/etc/ceph/$cluster.keyring``
+:Default: ``ceph``
+
+
+``$type``
+
+:Description: Expands to one of ``mds``, ``osd``, or ``mon``, depending on the
+ type of the instant daemon.
+
+:Example: ``/var/lib/ceph/$type``
+
+
+``$id``
+
+:Description: Expands to the daemon identifier. For ``osd.0``, this would be
+ ``0``; for ``mds.a``, it would be ``a``.
+
+:Example: ``/var/lib/ceph/$type/$cluster-$id``
+
+
+``$host``
+
+:Description: Expands to the host name of the instant daemon.
+
+
+``$name``
+
+:Description: Expands to ``$type.$id``.
+:Example: ``/var/run/ceph/$cluster-$name.asok``
+
+``$pid``
+
+:Description: Expands to daemon pid.
+:Example: ``/var/run/ceph/$cluster-$name-$pid.asok``

+
+Common Settings
+===============
+
+The `Hardware Recommendations`_ section provides some hardware guidelines for
+configuring a Ceph Storage Cluster. It is possible for a single :term:`Ceph
+Node` to run multiple daemons. For example, a single node with multiple drives
+may run one ``ceph-osd`` for each drive. Ideally, you will have a node for a
+particular type of process. For example, some nodes may run ``ceph-osd``
+daemons, other nodes may run ``ceph-mds`` daemons, and still other nodes may
+run ``ceph-mon`` daemons.
+
+Each node has a name identified by the ``host`` setting. Monitors also specify
+a network address and port (i.e., domain name or IP address) identified by the
+``addr`` setting. A basic configuration file will typically specify only
+minimal settings for each instance of monitor daemons. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [global]
+ mon_initial_members = ceph1
+ mon_host = 10.0.0.1
+
+
+.. important:: The ``host`` setting is the short name of the node (i.e., not
+ an fqdn). It is **NOT** an IP address either. Enter ``hostname -s`` on
+ the command line to retrieve the name of the node. Do not use ``host``
+ settings for anything other than initial monitors unless you are deploying
+ Ceph manually. You **MUST NOT** specify ``host`` under individual daemons
+ when using deployment tools like ``chef`` or ``ceph-deploy``, as those tools
+ will enter the appropriate values for you in the cluster map.
+
+
+.. _ceph-network-config:
+
+Networks
+========
+
+See the `Network Configuration Reference`_ for a detailed discussion about
+configuring a network for use with Ceph.
+
+
+Monitors
+========
+
+Ceph production clusters typically deploy with a minimum 3 :term:`Ceph Monitor`
+daemons to ensure high availability should a monitor instance crash. At least
+three (3) monitors ensures that the Paxos algorithm can determine which version
+of the :term:`Ceph Cluster Map` is the most recent from a majority of Ceph
+Monitors in the quorum.
+
+.. note:: You may deploy Ceph with a single monitor, but if the instance fails,
+ the lack of other monitors may interrupt data service availability.
+
+Ceph Monitors typically listen on port ``6789``. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [mon.a]
+ host = hostName
+ mon addr = 150.140.130.120:6789
+
+By default, Ceph expects that you will store a monitor's data under the
+following path::
+
+ /var/lib/ceph/mon/$cluster-$id
+
+You or a deployment tool (e.g., ``ceph-deploy``) must create the corresponding
+directory. With metavariables fully expressed and a cluster named "ceph", the
+foregoing directory would evaluate to::
+
+ /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-a
+
+For additional details, see the `Monitor Config Reference`_.
+
+.. _Monitor Config Reference: ../mon-config-ref
+
+
+.. _ceph-osd-config:
+
+
+Authentication
+==============
+
+.. versionadded:: Bobtail 0.56
+
+For Bobtail (v 0.56) and beyond, you should expressly enable or disable
+authentication in the ``[global]`` section of your Ceph configuration file. ::
+
+ auth cluster required = cephx
+ auth service required = cephx
+ auth client required = cephx
+
+Additionally, you should enable message signing. See `Cephx Config Reference`_ for details.
+
+.. important:: When upgrading, we recommend expressly disabling authentication
+ first, then perform the upgrade. Once the upgrade is complete, re-enable
+ authentication.
+
+.. _Cephx Config Reference: ../auth-config-ref
+
+
+.. _ceph-monitor-config:
+
+
+OSDs
+====
+
+Ceph production clusters typically deploy :term:`Ceph OSD Daemons` where one node
+has one OSD daemon running a filestore on one storage drive. A typical
+deployment specifies a journal size. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [osd]
+ osd journal size = 10000
+
+ [osd.0]
+ host = {hostname} #manual deployments only.
+
+
+By default, Ceph expects that you will store a Ceph OSD Daemon's data with the
+following path::
+
+ /var/lib/ceph/osd/$cluster-$id
+
+You or a deployment tool (e.g., ``ceph-deploy``) must create the corresponding
+directory. With metavariables fully expressed and a cluster named "ceph", the
+foregoing directory would evaluate to::
+
+ /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-0
+
+You may override this path using the ``osd data`` setting. We don't recommend
+changing the default location. Create the default directory on your OSD host.
+
+::
+
+ ssh {osd-host}
+ sudo mkdir /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-{osd-number}
+
+The ``osd data`` path ideally leads to a mount point with a hard disk that is
+separate from the hard disk storing and running the operating system and
+daemons. If the OSD is for a disk other than the OS disk, prepare it for
+use with Ceph, and mount it to the directory you just created::
+
+ ssh {new-osd-host}
+ sudo mkfs -t {fstype} /dev/{disk}
+ sudo mount -o user_xattr /dev/{hdd} /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-{osd-number}
+
+We recommend using the ``xfs`` file system when running
+:command:`mkfs`. (``btrfs`` and ``ext4`` are not recommended and no
+longer tested.)
+
+See the `OSD Config Reference`_ for additional configuration details.
+
+
+Heartbeats
+==========
+
+During runtime operations, Ceph OSD Daemons check up on other Ceph OSD Daemons
+and report their findings to the Ceph Monitor. You do not have to provide any
+settings. However, if you have network latency issues, you may wish to modify
+the settings.
+
+See `Configuring Monitor/OSD Interaction`_ for additional details.
+
+
+.. _ceph-logging-and-debugging:
+
+Logs / Debugging
+================
+
+Sometimes you may encounter issues with Ceph that require
+modifying logging output and using Ceph's debugging. See `Debugging and
+Logging`_ for details on log rotation.
+
+.. _Debugging and Logging: ../../troubleshooting/log-and-debug
+
+
+Example ceph.conf
+=================
+
+.. literalinclude:: demo-ceph.conf
+ :language: ini
+
+.. _ceph-runtime-config:
+
+Runtime Changes
+===============
+
+Ceph allows you to make changes to the configuration of a ``ceph-osd``,
+``ceph-mon``, or ``ceph-mds`` daemon at runtime. This capability is quite
+useful for increasing/decreasing logging output, enabling/disabling debug
+settings, and even for runtime optimization. The following reflects runtime
+configuration usage::
+
+ ceph tell {daemon-type}.{id or *} injectargs --{name} {value} [--{name} {value}]
+
+Replace ``{daemon-type}`` with one of ``osd``, ``mon`` or ``mds``. You may apply
+the runtime setting to all daemons of a particular type with ``*``, or specify
+a specific daemon's ID (i.e., its number or letter). For example, to increase
+debug logging for a ``ceph-osd`` daemon named ``osd.0``, execute the following::
+
+ ceph tell osd.0 injectargs --debug-osd 20 --debug-ms 1
+
+In your ``ceph.conf`` file, you may use spaces when specifying a
+setting name. When specifying a setting name on the command line,
+ensure that you use an underscore or hyphen (``_`` or ``-``) between
+terms (e.g., ``debug osd`` becomes ``--debug-osd``).
+
+
+Viewing a Configuration at Runtime
+==================================
+
+If your Ceph Storage Cluster is running, and you would like to see the
+configuration settings from a running daemon, execute the following::
+
+ ceph daemon {daemon-type}.{id} config show | less
+
+If you are on a machine where osd.0 is running, the command would be::
+
+ ceph daemon osd.0 config show | less
+
+Reading Configuration Metadata at Runtime
+=========================================
+
+Information about the available configuration options is available via
+the ``config help`` command:
+
+::
+
+ ceph daemon {daemon-type}.{id} config help | less
+
+
+This metadata is primarily intended to be used when integrating other
+software with Ceph, such as graphical user interfaces. The output is
+a list of JSON objects, for example:
+
+::
+
+ {
+ "name": "mon_host",
+ "type": "std::string",
+ "level": "basic",
+ "desc": "list of hosts or addresses to search for a monitor",
+ "long_desc": "This is a comma, whitespace, or semicolon separated list of IP addresses or hostnames. Hostnames are resolved via DNS and all A or AAAA records are included in the search list.",
+ "default": "",
+ "daemon_default": "",
+ "tags": [],
+ "services": [
+ "common"
+ ],
+ "see_also": [],
+ "enum_values": [],
+ "min": "",
+ "max": ""
+ }
+
+type
+____
+
+The type of the setting, given as a C++ type name.
+
+level
+_____
+
+One of `basic`, `advanced`, `dev`. The `dev` options are not intended
+for use outside of development and testing.
+
+desc
+____
+
+A short description -- this is a sentence fragment suitable for display
+in small spaces like a single line in a list.
+
+long_desc
+_________
+
+A full description of what the setting does, this may be as long as needed.
+
+default
+_______
+
+The default value, if any.
+
+daemon_default
+______________
+
+An alternative default used for daemons (services) as opposed to clients.
+
+tags
+____
+
+A list of strings indicating topics to which this setting relates. Examples
+of tags are `performance` and `networking`.
+
+services
+________
+
+A list of strings indicating which Ceph services the setting relates to, such
+as `osd`, `mds`, `mon`. For settings that are relevant to any Ceph client
+or server, `common` is used.
+
+see_also
+________
+
+A list of strings indicating other configuration options that may also
+be of interest to a user setting this option.
+
+enum_values
+___________
+
+Optional: a list of strings indicating the valid settings.
+
+min, max
+________
+
+Optional: upper and lower (inclusive) bounds on valid settings.
+
+
+
+
+Running Multiple Clusters
+=========================
+
+With Ceph, you can run multiple Ceph Storage Clusters on the same hardware.
+Running multiple clusters provides a higher level of isolation compared to
+using different pools on the same cluster with different CRUSH rulesets. A
+separate cluster will have separate monitor, OSD and metadata server processes.
+When running Ceph with default settings, the default cluster name is ``ceph``,
+which means you would save your Ceph configuration file with the file name
+``ceph.conf`` in the ``/etc/ceph`` default directory.
+
+See `ceph-deploy new`_ for details.
+.. _ceph-deploy new:../ceph-deploy-new
+
+When you run multiple clusters, you must name your cluster and save the Ceph
+configuration file with the name of the cluster. For example, a cluster named
+``openstack`` will have a Ceph configuration file with the file name
+``openstack.conf`` in the ``/etc/ceph`` default directory.
+
+.. important:: Cluster names must consist of letters a-z and digits 0-9 only.
+
+Separate clusters imply separate data disks and journals, which are not shared
+between clusters. Referring to `Metavariables`_, the ``$cluster`` metavariable
+evaluates to the cluster name (i.e., ``openstack`` in the foregoing example).
+Various settings use the ``$cluster`` metavariable, including:
+
+- ``keyring``
+- ``admin socket``
+- ``log file``
+- ``pid file``
+- ``mon data``
+- ``mon cluster log file``
+- ``osd data``
+- ``osd journal``
+- ``mds data``
+- ``rgw data``
+
+See `General Settings`_, `OSD Settings`_, `Monitor Settings`_, `MDS Settings`_,
+`RGW Settings`_ and `Log Settings`_ for relevant path defaults that use the
+``$cluster`` metavariable.
+
+.. _General Settings: ../general-config-ref
+.. _OSD Settings: ../osd-config-ref
+.. _Monitor Settings: ../mon-config-ref
+.. _MDS Settings: ../../../cephfs/mds-config-ref
+.. _RGW Settings: ../../../radosgw/config-ref/
+.. _Log Settings: ../../troubleshooting/log-and-debug
+
+
+When creating default directories or files, you should use the cluster
+name at the appropriate places in the path. For example::
+
+ sudo mkdir /var/lib/ceph/osd/openstack-0
+ sudo mkdir /var/lib/ceph/mon/openstack-a
+
+.. important:: When running monitors on the same host, you should use
+ different ports. By default, monitors use port 6789. If you already
+ have monitors using port 6789, use a different port for your other cluster(s).
+
+To invoke a cluster other than the default ``ceph`` cluster, use the
+``-c {filename}.conf`` option with the ``ceph`` command. For example::
+
+ ceph -c {cluster-name}.conf health
+ ceph -c openstack.conf health

+:Type: Boolean
+:Required: No
+:Default: ``0``
+
+
+.. index:: filestore; extended attributes
+
+Extended Attributes
+===================
+
+Extended Attributes (XATTRs) are an important aspect in your configuration.
+Some file systems have limits on the number of bytes stored in XATTRS.
+Additionally, in some cases, the filesystem may not be as fast as an alternative
+method of storing XATTRs. The following settings may help improve performance
+by using a method of storing XATTRs that is extrinsic to the underlying filesystem.
+
+Ceph XATTRs are stored as ``inline xattr``, using the XATTRs provided
+by the underlying file system, if it does not impose a size limit. If
+there is a size limit (4KB total on ext4, for instance), some Ceph
+XATTRs will be stored in an key/value database when either the
+``filestore max inline xattr size`` or ``filestore max inline
+xattrs`` threshold is reached.
+
+
+``filestore max inline xattr size``
+
+:Description: The maximimum size of an XATTR stored in the filesystem (i.e., XFS,
+ btrfs, ext4, etc.) per object. Should not be larger than the
+ filesytem can handle. Default value of 0 means to use the value
+ specific to the underlying filesystem.
+:Type: Unsigned 32-bit Integer
+:Required: No
+:Default: ``0``
+
+
+``filestore max inline xattr size xfs``
+
+:Description: The maximimum size of an XATTR stored in the XFS filesystem.
+ Only used if ``filestore max inline xattr size`` == 0.

+:Type: Unsigned 32-bit Integer
+:Required: No
+:Default: ``2048``
+
+
+``filestore max inline xattr size other``

+
+.. index:: filestore; synchronization
+
+Synchronization Intervals
+=========================
+
+Periodically, the filestore needs to quiesce writes and synchronize the
+filesystem, which creates a consistent commit point. It can then free journal
+entries up to the commit point. Synchronizing more frequently tends to reduce
+the time required to perform synchronization, and reduces the amount of data
+that needs to remain in the journal. Less frequent synchronization allows the
+backing filesystem to coalesce small writes and metadata updates more
+optimally--potentially resulting in more efficient synchronization.
+
+
+``filestore max sync interval``
+
+:Description: The maximum interval in seconds for synchronizing the filestore.
+:Type: Double
+:Required: No
+:Default: ``5``
+
+
+``filestore min sync interval``
+
+:Description: The minimum interval in seconds for synchronizing the filestore.
+:Type: Double
+:Required: No
+:Default: ``.01``
+
+
+.. index:: filestore; flusher
+
+Flusher
+=======
+
+The filestore flusher forces data from large writes to be written out using
+``sync file range`` before the sync in order to (hopefully) reduce the cost of
+the eventual sync. In practice, disabling 'filestore flusher' seems to improve
+performance in some cases.

+ Configuration
+===============
+
+Ceph can run with a cluster containing thousands of Object Storage Devices
+(OSDs). A minimal system will have at least two OSDs for data replication. To
+configure OSD clusters, you must provide settings in the configuration file.
+Ceph provides default values for many settings, which you can override in the
+configuration file. Additionally, you can make runtime modification to the
+configuration using command-line utilities.
+
+When Ceph starts, it activates three daemons:
+
+- ``ceph-mon`` (mandatory)
+- ``ceph-osd`` (mandatory)
+- ``ceph-mds`` (mandatory for cephfs only)
+
+Each process, daemon or utility loads the host's configuration file. A process
+may have information about more than one daemon instance (*i.e.,* multiple
+contexts). A daemon or utility only has information about a single daemon
+instance (a single context).
+
+.. note:: Ceph can run on a single host for evaluation purposes.

+==========================
+ Journal Config Reference
+==========================
+
+.. index:: journal; journal configuration
+
+Ceph OSDs use a journal for two reasons: speed and consistency.
+
+- **Speed:** The journal enables the Ceph OSD Daemon to commit small writes
+ quickly. Ceph writes small, random i/o to the journal sequentially, which
+ tends to speed up bursty workloads by allowing the backing filesystem more
+ time to coalesce writes. The Ceph OSD Daemon's journal, however, can lead
+ to spiky performance with short spurts of high-speed writes followed by
+ periods without any write progress as the filesystem catches up to the
+ journal.
+
+- **Consistency:** Ceph OSD Daemons require a filesystem interface that
+ guarantees atomic compound operations. Ceph OSD Daemons write a description
+ of the operation to the journal and apply the operation to the filesystem.
+ This enables atomic updates to an object (for example, placement group
+ metadata). Every few seconds--between ``filestore max sync interval`` and
+ ``filestore min sync interval``--the Ceph OSD Daemon stops writes and
+ synchronizes the journal with the filesystem, allowing Ceph OSD Daemons to
+ trim operations from the journal and reuse the space. On failure, Ceph
+ OSD Daemons replay the journal starting after the last synchronization
+ operation.
+
+Ceph OSD Daemons support the following journal settings:
+
+
+``journal dio``
+
+:Description: Enables direct i/o to the journal. Requires ``journal block

+==========================
+ Monitor Config Reference
+==========================
+
+Understanding how to configure a :term:`Ceph Monitor` is an important part of
+building a reliable :term:`Ceph Storage Cluster`. **All Ceph Storage Clusters
+have at least one monitor**. A monitor configuration usually remains fairly
+consistent, but you can add, remove or replace a monitor in a cluster. See
+`Adding/Removing a Monitor`_ and `Add/Remove a Monitor (ceph-deploy)`_ for
+details.
+
+
+.. index:: Ceph Monitor; Paxos
+
+Background
+==========
+
+Ceph Monitors maintain a "master copy" of the :term:`cluster map`, which means a
+:term:`Ceph Client` can determine the location of all Ceph Monitors, Ceph OSD
+Daemons, and Ceph Metadata Servers just by connecting to one Ceph Monitor and
+retrieving a current cluster map. Before Ceph Clients can read from or write to
+Ceph OSD Daemons or Ceph Metadata Servers, they must connect to a Ceph Monitor
+first. With a current copy of the cluster map and the CRUSH algorithm, a Ceph
+Client can compute the location for any object. The ability to compute object
+locations allows a Ceph Client to talk directly to Ceph OSD Daemons, which is a
+very important aspect of Ceph's high scalability and performance. See
+`Scalability and High Availability`_ for additional details.
+
+The primary role of the Ceph Monitor is to maintain a master copy of the cluster
+map. Ceph Monitors also provide authentication and logging services. Ceph
+Monitors write all changes in the monitor services to a single Paxos instance,
+and Paxos writes the changes to a key/value store for strong consistency. Ceph
+Monitors can query the most recent version of the cluster map during sync
+operations. Ceph Monitors leverage the key/value store's snapshots and iterators
+(using leveldb) to perform store-wide synchronization.

+
+In Ceph versions 0.58 and earlier, Ceph Monitors use a Paxos instance for
+each service and store the map as a file.
+
+.. index:: Ceph Monitor; cluster map
+
+Cluster Maps
+------------
+
+The cluster map is a composite of maps, including the monitor map, the OSD map,
+the placement group map and the metadata server map. The cluster map tracks a
+number of important things: which processes are ``in`` the Ceph Storage Cluster;
+which processes that are ``in`` the Ceph Storage Cluster are ``up`` and running
+or ``down``; whether, the placement groups are ``active`` or ``inactive``, and
+``clean`` or in some other state; and, other details that reflect the current
+state of the cluster such as the total amount of storage space, and the amount
+of storage used.
+
+When there is a significant change in the state of the cluster--e.g., a Ceph OSD
+Daemon goes down, a placement group falls into a degraded state, etc.--the
+cluster map gets updated to reflect the current state of the cluster.
+Additionally, the Ceph Monitor also maintains a history of the prior states of
+the cluster. The monitor map, OSD map, placement group map and metadata server
+map each maintain a history of their map versions. We call each version an
+"epoch."
+
+When operating your Ceph Storage Cluster, keeping track of these states is an
+important part of your system administration duties. See `Monitoring a Cluster`_
+and `Monitoring OSDs and PGs`_ for additional details.
+
+.. index:: high availability; quorum
+
+Monitor Quorum
+--------------
+
+Our Configuring ceph section provides a trivial `Ceph configuration file`_ that
+provides for one monitor in the test cluster. A cluster will run fine with a
+single monitor; however, **a single monitor is a single-point-of-failure**. To
+ensure high availability in a production Ceph Storage Cluster, you should run
+Ceph with multiple monitors so that the failure of a single monitor **WILL NOT**
+bring down your entire cluster.
+
+When a Ceph Storage Cluster runs multiple Ceph Monitors for high availability,
+Ceph Monitors use `Paxos`_ to establish consensus about the master cluster map.
+A consensus requires a majority of monitors running to establish a quorum for
+consensus about the cluster map (e.g., 1; 2 out of 3; 3 out of 5; 4 out of 6;
+etc.).
+
+``mon force quorum join``
+
+:Description: Force monitor to join quorum even if it has been previously removed from the map
+:Type: Boolean
+:Default: ``False``
+
+.. index:: Ceph Monitor; consistency
+
+Consistency
+-----------
+
+When you add monitor settings to your Ceph configuration file, you need to be
+aware of some of the architectural aspects of Ceph Monitors. **Ceph imposes
+strict consistency requirements** for a Ceph monitor when discovering another
+Ceph Monitor within the cluster. Whereas, Ceph Clients and other Ceph daemons
+use the Ceph configuration file to discover monitors, monitors discover each
+other using the monitor map (monmap), not the Ceph configuration file.
+
+A Ceph Monitor always refers to the local copy of the monmap when discovering
+other Ceph Monitors in the Ceph Storage Cluster. Using the monmap instead of the
+Ceph configuration file avoids errors that could break the cluster (e.g., typos
+in ``ceph.conf`` when specifying a monitor address or port). Since monitors use
+monmaps for discovery and they share monmaps with clients and other Ceph
+daemons, **the monmap provides monitors with a strict guarantee that their
+consensus is valid.**
+
+Strict consistency also applies to updates to the monmap. As with any other
+updates on the Ceph Monitor, changes to the monmap always run through a
+distributed consensus algorithm called `Paxos`_. The Ceph Monitors must agree on
+each update to the monmap, such as adding or removing a Ceph Monitor, to ensure
+that each monitor in the quorum has the same version of the monmap. Updates to
+the monmap are incremental so that Ceph Monitors have the latest agreed upon
+version, and a set of previous versions. Maintaining a history enables a Ceph
+Monitor that has an older version of the monmap to catch up with the current
+state of the Ceph Storage Cluster.
+
+If Ceph Monitors discovered each other through the Ceph configuration file
+instead of through the monmap, it would introduce additional risks because the
+Ceph configuration files are not updated and distributed automatically. Ceph
+Monitors might inadvertently use an older Ceph configuration file, fail to
+recognize a Ceph Monitor, fall out of a quorum, or develop a situation where
+`Paxos`_ is not able to determine the current state of the system accurately.
+
+
+.. index:: Ceph Monitor; bootstrapping monitors
+
+Bootstrapping Monitors
+----------------------
+
+In most configuration and deployment cases, tools that deploy Ceph may help
+bootstrap the Ceph Monitors by generating a monitor map for you (e.g.,
+``ceph-deploy``, etc). A Ceph Monitor requires a few explicit
+settings:
+
+- **Filesystem ID**: The ``fsid`` is the unique identifier for your
+ object store. Since you can run multiple clusters on the same
+ hardware, you must specify the unique ID of the object store when
+ bootstrapping a monitor. Deployment tools usually do this for you
+ (e.g., ``ceph-deploy`` can call a tool like ``uuidgen``), but you
+ may specify the ``fsid`` manually too.
+
+- **Monitor ID**: A monitor ID is a unique ID assigned to each monitor within
+ the cluster. It is an alphanumeric value, and by convention the identifier
+ usually follows an alphabetical increment (e.g., ``a``, ``b``, etc.). This
+ can be set in a Ceph configuration file (e.g., ``[mon.a]``, ``[mon.b]``, etc.),
+ by a deployment tool, or using the ``ceph`` commandline.
+
+- **Keys**: The monitor must have secret keys. A deployment tool such as
+ ``ceph-deploy`` usually does this for you, but you may
+ perform this step manually too. See `Monitor Keyrings`_ for details.
+
+For additional details on bootstrapping, see `Bootstrapping a Monitor`_.
+
+.. index:: Ceph Monitor; configuring monitors
+
+Configuring Monitors
+====================
+
+To apply configuration settings to the entire cluster, enter the configuration
+settings under ``[global]``. To apply configuration settings to all monitors in
+your cluster, enter the configuration settings under ``[mon]``. To apply
+configuration settings to specific monitors, specify the monitor instance
+(e.g., ``[mon.a]``). By convention, monitor instance names use alpha notation.
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [global]
+
+ [mon]
+
+ [mon.a]
+
+ [mon.b]
+
+ [mon.c]
+
+
+Minimum Configuration
+---------------------
+
+The bare minimum monitor settings for a Ceph monitor via the Ceph configuration
+file include a hostname and a monitor address for each monitor. You can configure
+these under ``[mon]`` or under the entry for a specific monitor.
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [mon]
+ mon host = hostname1,hostname2,hostname3
+ mon addr = 10.0.0.10:6789,10.0.0.11:6789,10.0.0.12:6789
+
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [mon.a]
+ host = hostname1
+ mon addr = 10.0.0.10:6789
+
+See the `Network Configuration Reference`_ for details.
+
+.. note:: This minimum configuration for monitors assumes that a deployment
+ tool generates the ``fsid`` and the ``mon.`` key for you.
+
+Once you deploy a Ceph cluster, you **SHOULD NOT** change the IP address of
+the monitors. However, if you decide to change the monitor's IP address, you
+must follow a specific procedure. See `Changing a Monitor's IP Address`_ for
+details.
+
+Monitors can also be found by clients using DNS SRV records. See `Monitor lookup through DNS`_ for details.
+
+Cluster ID
+----------
+
+Each Ceph Storage Cluster has a unique identifier (``fsid``). If specified, it
+usually appears under the ``[global]`` section of the configuration file.
+Deployment tools usually generate the ``fsid`` and store it in the monitor map,
+so the value may not appear in a configuration file. The ``fsid`` makes it
+possible to run daemons for multiple clusters on the same hardware.
+
+``fsid``
+
+:Description: The cluster ID. One per cluster.
+:Type: UUID
+:Required: Yes.
+:Default: N/A. May be generated by a deployment tool if not specified.
+
+.. note:: Do not set this value if you use a deployment tool that does
+ it for you.
+
+
+.. index:: Ceph Monitor; initial members
+
+Initial Members
+---------------
+
+We recommend running a production Ceph Storage Cluster with at least three Ceph
+Monitors to ensure high availability. When you run multiple monitors, you may
+specify the initial monitors that must be members of the cluster in order to
+establish a quorum. This may reduce the time it takes for your cluster to come
+online.
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [mon]
+ mon initial members = a,b,c
+
+
+``mon initial members``
+
+:Description: The IDs of initial monitors in a cluster during startup. If
+ specified, Ceph requires an odd number of monitors to form an
+ initial quorum (e.g., 3).
+
+:Type: String
+:Default: None
+
+.. note:: A *majority* of monitors in your cluster must be able to reach
+ each other in order to establish a quorum. You can decrease the initial
+ number of monitors to establish a quorum with this setting.
+
+.. index:: Ceph Monitor; data path
+
+Data
+----
+
+Ceph provides a default path where Ceph Monitors store data. For optimal
+performance in a production Ceph Storage Cluster, we recommend running Ceph
+Monitors on separate hosts and drives from Ceph OSD Daemons. As leveldb is using
+``mmap()`` for writing the data, Ceph Monitors flush their data from memory to disk
+very often, which can interfere with Ceph OSD Daemon workloads if the data
+store is co-located with the OSD Daemons.
+
+In Ceph versions 0.58 and earlier, Ceph Monitors store their data in files. This
+approach allows users to inspect monitor data with common tools like ``ls``
+and ``cat``. However, it doesn't provide strong consistency.
+
+In Ceph versions 0.59 and later, Ceph Monitors store their data as key/value
+pairs. Ceph Monitors require `ACID`_ transactions. Using a data store prevents
+recovering Ceph Monitors from running corrupted versions through Paxos, and it
+enables multiple modification operations in one single atomic batch, among other
+advantages.
+
+Generally, we do not recommend changing the default data location. If you modify
+the default location, we recommend that you make it uniform across Ceph Monitors
+by setting it in the ``[mon]`` section of the configuration file.
+
+

+.. index:: Ceph Storage Cluster; capacity planning, Ceph Monitor; capacity planning
+
+Storage Capacity
+----------------
+
+When a Ceph Storage Cluster gets close to its maximum capacity (i.e., ``mon osd
+full ratio``), Ceph prevents you from writing to or reading from Ceph OSD
+Daemons as a safety measure to prevent data loss. Therefore, letting a
+production Ceph Storage Cluster approach its full ratio is not a good practice,
+because it sacrifices high availability. The default full ratio is ``.95``, or
+95% of capacity. This a very aggressive setting for a test cluster with a small
+number of OSDs.
+
+.. tip:: When monitoring your cluster, be alert to warnings related to the
+ ``nearfull`` ratio. This means that a failure of some OSDs could result
+ in a temporary service disruption if one or more OSDs fails. Consider adding
+ more OSDs to increase storage capacity.
+
+A common scenario for test clusters involves a system administrator removing a
+Ceph OSD Daemon from the Ceph Storage Cluster to watch the cluster rebalance;
+then, removing another Ceph OSD Daemon, and so on until the Ceph Storage Cluster
+eventually reaches the full ratio and locks up. We recommend a bit of capacity
+planning even with a test cluster. Planning enables you to gauge how much spare
+capacity you will need in order to maintain high availability. Ideally, you want
+to plan for a series of Ceph OSD Daemon failures where the cluster can recover
+to an ``active + clean`` state without replacing those Ceph OSD Daemons
+immediately. You can run a cluster in an ``active + degraded`` state, but this
+is not ideal for normal operating conditions.
+
+The following diagram depicts a simplistic Ceph Storage Cluster containing 33
+Ceph Nodes with one Ceph OSD Daemon per host, each Ceph OSD Daemon reading from
+and writing to a 3TB drive. So this exemplary Ceph Storage Cluster has a maximum
+actual capacity of 99TB. With a ``mon osd full ratio`` of ``0.95``, if the Ceph
+Storage Cluster falls to 5TB of remaining capacity, the cluster will not allow
+Ceph Clients to read and write data. So the Ceph Storage Cluster's operating
+capacity is 95TB, not 99TB.

+
+It is normal in such a cluster for one or two OSDs to fail. A less frequent but
+reasonable scenario involves a rack's router or power supply failing, which
+brings down multiple OSDs simultaneously (e.g., OSDs 7-12). In such a scenario,
+you should still strive for a cluster that can remain operational and achieve an
+``active + clean`` state--even if that means adding a few hosts with additional
+OSDs in short order. If your capacity utilization is too high, you may not lose
+data, but you could still sacrifice data availability while resolving an outage
+within a failure domain if capacity utilization of the cluster exceeds the full
+ratio. For this reason, we recommend at least some rough capacity planning.
+
+Identify two numbers for your cluster:
+
+#. The number of OSDs.
+#. The total capacity of the cluster
+
+If you divide the total capacity of your cluster by the number of OSDs in your
+cluster, you will find the mean average capacity of an OSD within your cluster.
+Consider multiplying that number by the number of OSDs you expect will fail
+simultaneously during normal operations (a relatively small number). Finally
+multiply the capacity of the cluster by the full ratio to arrive at a maximum
+operating capacity; then, subtract the number of amount of data from the OSDs
+you expect to fail to arrive at a reasonable full ratio. Repeat the foregoing
+process with a higher number of OSD failures (e.g., a rack of OSDs) to arrive at
+a reasonable number for a near full ratio.

+
+Heartbeat
+---------
+
+Ceph monitors know about the cluster by requiring reports from each OSD, and by
+receiving reports from OSDs about the status of their neighboring OSDs. Ceph
+provides reasonable default settings for monitor/OSD interaction; however, you
+may modify them as needed. See `Monitor/OSD Interaction`_ for details.
+
+
+.. index:: Ceph Monitor; leader, Ceph Monitor; provider, Ceph Monitor; requester, Ceph Monitor; synchronization
+
+Monitor Store Synchronization
+-----------------------------
+
+When you run a production cluster with multiple monitors (recommended), each
+monitor checks to see if a neighboring monitor has a more recent version of the
+cluster map (e.g., a map in a neighboring monitor with one or more epoch numbers
+higher than the most current epoch in the map of the instant monitor).
+Periodically, one monitor in the cluster may fall behind the other monitors to
+the point where it must leave the quorum, synchronize to retrieve the most
+current information about the cluster, and then rejoin the quorum. For the
+purposes of synchronization, monitors may assume one of three roles:
+
+#. **Leader**: The `Leader` is the first monitor to achieve the most recent
+ Paxos version of the cluster map.
+
+#. **Provider**: The `Provider` is a monitor that has the most recent version
+ of the cluster map, but wasn't the first to achieve the most recent version.
+
+#. **Requester:** A `Requester` is a monitor that has fallen behind the leader
+ and must synchronize in order to retrieve the most recent information about
+ the cluster before it can rejoin the quorum.
+
+These roles enable a leader to delegate synchronization duties to a provider,
+which prevents synchronization requests from overloading the leader--improving
+performance. In the following diagram, the requester has learned that it has
+fallen behind the other monitors. The requester asks the leader to synchronize,
+and the leader tells the requester to synchronize with a provider.
+
+
+.. ditaa:: +-----------+ +---------+ +----------+
+ | Requester | | Leader | | Provider |
+ +-----------+ +---------+ +----------+
+ | | |
+ | | |
+ | Ask to Synchronize | |
+ |------------------->| |

+ |--------------------+-------------------->|
+ | |
+ | Sync Complete |
+ | Notification |
+ |------------------->|
+ | |
+ |<-------------------|
+ | Ack |
+ | |
+
+
+Synchronization always occurs when a new monitor joins the cluster. During
+runtime operations, monitors may receive updates to the cluster map at different
+times. This means the leader and provider roles may migrate from one monitor to
+another. If this happens while synchronizing (e.g., a provider falls behind the
+leader), the provider can terminate synchronization with a requester.
+
+Once synchronization is complete, Ceph requires trimming across the cluster.
+Trimming requires that the placement groups are ``active + clean``.

+.. index:: Ceph Monitor; clock
+
+Clock
+-----
+
+Ceph daemons pass critical messages to each other, which must be processed
+before daemons reach a timeout threshold. If the clocks in Ceph monitors
+are not synchronized, it can lead to a number of anomalies. For example:
+
+- Daemons ignoring received messages (e.g., timestamps outdated)
+- Timeouts triggered too soon/late when a message wasn't received in time.
+
+See `Monitor Store Synchronization`_ for details.
+
+
+.. tip:: You SHOULD install NTP on your Ceph monitor hosts to
+ ensure that the monitor cluster operates with synchronized clocks.
+
+Clock drift may still be noticeable with NTP even though the discrepancy is not
+yet harmful. Ceph's clock drift / clock skew warnings may get triggered even
+though NTP maintains a reasonable level of synchronization. Increasing your
+clock drift may be tolerable under such circumstances; however, a number of
+factors such as workload, network latency, configuring overrides to default
+timeouts and the `Monitor Store Synchronization`_ settings may influence
+the level of acceptable clock drift without compromising Paxos guarantees.

+===============================
+Looking op Monitors through DNS
+===============================
+
+Since version 11.0.0 RADOS supports looking up Monitors through DNS.
+
+This way daemons and clients do not require a *mon host* configuration directive in their ceph.conf configuration file.
+
+Using DNS SRV TCP records clients are able to look up the monitors.
+
+This allows for less configuration on clients and monitors. Using a DNS update clients and daemons can be made aware of changes in the monitor topology.
+
+By default clients and daemons will look for the TCP service called *ceph-mon* which is configured by the *mon_dns_srv_name* configuration directive.
+
+
+``mon dns srv name``
+
+:Description: the service name used querying the DNS for the monitor hosts/addresses
+:Type: String
+:Default: ``ceph-mon``
+
+Example
+-------
+When the DNS search domain is set to *example.com* a DNS zone file might contain the following elements.
+
+First, create records for the Monitors, either IPv4 (A) or IPv6 (AAAA).
+
+::
+
+ mon1.example.com. AAAA 2001:db8::100
+ mon2.example.com. AAAA 2001:db8::200
+ mon3.example.com. AAAA 2001:db8::300
+
+::
+
+ mon1.example.com. A 192.168.0.1
+ mon2.example.com. A 192.168.0.2
+ mon3.example.com. A 192.168.0.3
+
+
+With those records now existing we can create the SRV TCP records with the name *ceph-mon* pointing to the three Monitors.
+
+::
+
+ _ceph-mon._tcp.example.com. 60 IN SRV 10 60 6789 mon1.example.com.
+ _ceph-mon._tcp.example.com. 60 IN SRV 10 60 6789 mon2.example.com.
+ _ceph-mon._tcp.example.com. 60 IN SRV 10 60 6789 mon3.example.com.
+
+In this case the Monitors are running on port *6789*, and their priority and weight are all *10* and *60* respectively.
+
+The current implementation in clients and daemons will *only* respect the priority set in SRV records, and they will only connect to the monitors with lowest-numbered priority. The targets with the same priority will be selected at random.

+=====================================
+ Configuring Monitor/OSD Interaction
+=====================================
+
+.. index:: heartbeat
+
+After you have completed your initial Ceph configuration, you may deploy and run
+Ceph. When you execute a command such as ``ceph health`` or ``ceph -s``, the
+:term:`Ceph Monitor` reports on the current state of the :term:`Ceph Storage
+Cluster`. The Ceph Monitor knows about the Ceph Storage Cluster by requiring
+reports from each :term:`Ceph OSD Daemon`, and by receiving reports from Ceph
+OSD Daemons about the status of their neighboring Ceph OSD Daemons. If the Ceph
+Monitor doesn't receive reports, or if it receives reports of changes in the
+Ceph Storage Cluster, the Ceph Monitor updates the status of the :term:`Ceph
+Cluster Map`.

+Ceph provides reasonable default settings for Ceph Monitor/Ceph OSD Daemon
+interaction. However, you may override the defaults. The following sections
+describe how Ceph Monitors and Ceph OSD Daemons interact for the purposes of
+monitoring the Ceph Storage Cluster.
+
+.. index:: heartbeat interval
+
+OSDs Check Heartbeats
+=====================
+
+Each Ceph OSD Daemon checks the heartbeat of other Ceph OSD Daemons every 6
+seconds. You can change the heartbeat interval by adding an ``osd heartbeat
+interval`` setting under the ``[osd]`` section of your Ceph configuration file,
+or by setting the value at runtime. If a neighboring Ceph OSD Daemon doesn't
+show a heartbeat within a 20 second grace period, the Ceph OSD Daemon may
+consider the neighboring Ceph OSD Daemon ``down`` and report it back to a Ceph
+Monitor, which will update the Ceph Cluster Map. You may change this grace
+period by adding an ``osd heartbeat grace`` setting under the ``[mon]``
+and ``[osd]`` or ``[global]`` section of your Ceph configuration file,
+or by setting the value at runtime.

+
+
+.. index:: OSD down report
+
+OSDs Report Down OSDs
+=====================
+
+By default, two Ceph OSD Daemons from different hosts must report to the Ceph
+Monitors that another Ceph OSD Daemon is ``down`` before the Ceph Monitors
+acknowledge that the reported Ceph OSD Daemon is ``down``. But there is chance
+that all the OSDs reporting the failure are hosted in a rack with a bad switch
+which has trouble connecting to another OSD. To avoid this sort of false alarm,
+we consider the peers reporting a failure a proxy for a potential "subcluster"
+over the overall cluster that is similarly laggy. This is clearly not true in
+all cases, but will sometimes help us localize the grace correction to a subset
+of the system that is unhappy. ``mon osd reporter subtree level`` is used to
+group the peers into the "subcluster" by their common ancestor type in CRUSH
+map. By default, only two reports from different subtree are required to report
+another Ceph OSD Daemon ``down``. You can change the number of reporters from
+unique subtrees and the common ancestor type required to report a Ceph OSD
+Daemon ``down`` to a Ceph Monitor by adding an ``mon osd min down reporters``
+and ``mon osd reporter subtree level`` settings under the ``[mon]`` section of
+your Ceph configuration file, or by setting the value at runtime.

+
+
+.. index:: peering failure
+
+OSDs Report Peering Failure
+===========================
+
+If a Ceph OSD Daemon cannot peer with any of the Ceph OSD Daemons defined in its
+Ceph configuration file (or the cluster map), it will ping a Ceph Monitor for
+the most recent copy of the cluster map every 30 seconds. You can change the
+Ceph Monitor heartbeat interval by adding an ``osd mon heartbeat interval``
+setting under the ``[osd]`` section of your Ceph configuration file, or by
+setting the value at runtime.

+
+.. index:: OSD status
+
+OSDs Report Their Status
+========================
+
+If an Ceph OSD Daemon doesn't report to a Ceph Monitor, the Ceph Monitor will
+consider the Ceph OSD Daemon ``down`` after the ``mon osd report timeout``
+elapses. A Ceph OSD Daemon sends a report to a Ceph Monitor when a reportable
+event such as a failure, a change in placement group stats, a change in
+``up_thru`` or when it boots within 5 seconds. You can change the Ceph OSD
+Daemon minimum report interval by adding an ``osd mon report interval min``
+setting under the ``[osd]`` section of your Ceph configuration file, or by
+setting the value at runtime. A Ceph OSD Daemon sends a report to a Ceph
+Monitor every 120 seconds irrespective of whether any notable changes occur.
+You can change the Ceph Monitor report interval by adding an ``osd mon report
+interval max`` setting under the ``[osd]`` section of your Ceph configuration
+file, or by setting the value at runtime.

+=================================
+ Network Configuration Reference
+=================================
+
+Network configuration is critical for building a high performance :term:`Ceph
+Storage Cluster`. The Ceph Storage Cluster does not perform request routing or
+dispatching on behalf of the :term:`Ceph Client`. Instead, Ceph Clients make
+requests directly to Ceph OSD Daemons. Ceph OSD Daemons perform data replication
+on behalf of Ceph Clients, which means replication and other factors impose
+additional loads on Ceph Storage Cluster networks.
+
+Our Quick Start configurations provide a trivial `Ceph configuration file`_ that
+sets monitor IP addresses and daemon host names only. Unless you specify a
+cluster network, Ceph assumes a single "public" network. Ceph functions just
+fine with a public network only, but you may see significant performance
+improvement with a second "cluster" network in a large cluster.
+
+We recommend running a Ceph Storage Cluster with two networks: a public
+(front-side) network and a cluster (back-side) network. To support two networks,
+each :term:`Ceph Node` will need to have more than one NIC. See `Hardware
+Recommendations - Networks`_ for additional details.

+
+
+There are several reasons to consider operating two separate networks:
+
+#. **Performance:** Ceph OSD Daemons handle data replication for the Ceph
+ Clients. When Ceph OSD Daemons replicate data more than once, the network
+ load between Ceph OSD Daemons easily dwarfs the network load between Ceph
+ Clients and the Ceph Storage Cluster. This can introduce latency and
+ create a performance problem. Recovery and rebalancing can
+ also introduce significant latency on the public network. See
+ `Scalability and High Availability`_ for additional details on how Ceph
+ replicates data. See `Monitor / OSD Interaction`_ for details on heartbeat
+ traffic.
+
+#. **Security**: While most people are generally civil, a very tiny segment of
+ the population likes to engage in what's known as a Denial of Service (DoS)
+ attack. When traffic between Ceph OSD Daemons gets disrupted, placement
+ groups may no longer reflect an ``active + clean`` state, which may prevent
+ users from reading and writing data. A great way to defeat this type of
+ attack is to maintain a completely separate cluster network that doesn't
+ connect directly to the internet. Also, consider using `Message Signatures`_
+ to defeat spoofing attacks.
+
+
+IP Tables
+=========
+
+By default, daemons `bind`_ to ports within the ``6800:7300`` range. You may
+configure this range at your discretion. Before configuring your IP tables,
+check the default ``iptables`` configuration.
+
+ sudo iptables -L
+
+Some Linux distributions include rules that reject all inbound requests
+except SSH from all network interfaces. For example::
+
+ REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
+
+You will need to delete these rules on both your public and cluster networks
+initially, and replace them with appropriate rules when you are ready to
+harden the ports on your Ceph Nodes.
+
+
+Monitor IP Tables
+-----------------
+
+Ceph Monitors listen on port ``6789`` by default. Additionally, Ceph Monitors
+always operate on the public network. When you add the rule using the example
+below, make sure you replace ``{iface}`` with the public network interface
+(e.g., ``eth0``, ``eth1``, etc.), ``{ip-address}`` with the IP address of the
+public network and ``{netmask}`` with the netmask for the public network. ::
+
+ sudo iptables -A INPUT -i {iface} -p tcp -s {ip-address}/{netmask} --dport 6789 -j ACCEPT
+
+
+MDS IP Tables
+-------------
+
+A :term:`Ceph Metadata Server` listens on the first available port on the public
+network beginning at port 6800. Note that this behavior is not deterministic, so
+if you are running more than one OSD or MDS on the same host, or if you restart
+the daemons within a short window of time, the daemons will bind to higher
+ports. You should open the entire 6800-7300 range by default. When you add the
+rule using the example below, make sure you replace ``{iface}`` with the public
+network interface (e.g., ``eth0``, ``eth1``, etc.), ``{ip-address}`` with the IP
+address of the public network and ``{netmask}`` with the netmask of the public
+network.
+
+For example::
+
+ sudo iptables -A INPUT -i {iface} -m multiport -p tcp -s {ip-address}/{netmask} --dports 6800:7300 -j ACCEPT
+
+
+OSD IP Tables
+-------------
+
+By default, Ceph OSD Daemons `bind`_ to the first available ports on a Ceph Node
+beginning at port 6800. Note that this behavior is not deterministic, so if you
+are running more than one OSD or MDS on the same host, or if you restart the
+daemons within a short window of time, the daemons will bind to higher ports.
+Each Ceph OSD Daemon on a Ceph Node may use up to four ports:
+
+#. One for talking to clients and monitors.
+#. One for sending data to other OSDs.
+#. Two for heartbeating on each interface.
+
+.. ditaa::
+ /---------------\
+ | OSD |
+ | +---+----------------+-----------+
+ | | Clients & Monitors | Heartbeat |
+ | +---+----------------+-----------+
+ | |
+ | +---+----------------+-----------+
+ | | Data Replication | Heartbeat |
+ | +---+----------------+-----------+
+ | cCCC |
+ \---------------/
+
+When a daemon fails and restarts without letting go of the port, the restarted
+daemon will bind to a new port. You should open the entire 6800-7300 port range
+to handle this possibility.
+
+If you set up separate public and cluster networks, you must add rules for both
+the public network and the cluster network, because clients will connect using
+the public network and other Ceph OSD Daemons will connect using the cluster
+network. When you add the rule using the example below, make sure you replace
+``{iface}`` with the network interface (e.g., ``eth0``, ``eth1``, etc.),
+``{ip-address}`` with the IP address and ``{netmask}`` with the netmask of the
+public or cluster network. For example::
+
+ sudo iptables -A INPUT -i {iface} -m multiport -p tcp -s {ip-address}/{netmask} --dports 6800:7300 -j ACCEPT
+
+.. tip:: If you run Ceph Metadata Servers on the same Ceph Node as the
+ Ceph OSD Daemons, you can consolidate the public network configuration step.
+
+
+Ceph Networks
+=============
+
+To configure Ceph networks, you must add a network configuration to the
+``[global]`` section of the configuration file. Our 5-minute Quick Start
+provides a trivial `Ceph configuration file`_ that assumes one public network
+with client and server on the same network and subnet. Ceph functions just fine
+with a public network only. However, Ceph allows you to establish much more
+specific criteria, including multiple IP network and subnet masks for your
+public network. You can also establish a separate cluster network to handle OSD
+heartbeat, object replication and recovery traffic. Don't confuse the IP
+addresses you set in your configuration with the public-facing IP addresses
+network clients may use to access your service. Typical internal IP networks are
+often ``192.168.0.0`` or ``10.0.0.0``.
+
+.. tip:: If you specify more than one IP address and subnet mask for
+ either the public or the cluster network, the subnets within the network
+ must be capable of routing to each other. Additionally, make sure you
+ include each IP address/subnet in your IP tables and open ports for them
+ as necessary.
+
+.. note:: Ceph uses `CIDR`_ notation for subnets (e.g., ``10.0.0.0/24``).
+
+When you have configured your networks, you may restart your cluster or restart
+each daemon. Ceph daemons bind dynamically, so you do not have to restart the
+entire cluster at once if you change your network configuration.
+
+
+Public Network
+--------------
+
+To configure a public network, add the following option to the ``[global]``
+section of your Ceph configuration file.
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [global]
+ ...
+ public network = {public-network/netmask}
+
+
+Cluster Network
+---------------
+
+If you declare a cluster network, OSDs will route heartbeat, object replication
+and recovery traffic over the cluster network. This may improve performance
+compared to using a single network. To configure a cluster network, add the
+following option to the ``[global]`` section of your Ceph configuration file.
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [global]
+ ...
+ cluster network = {cluster-network/netmask}
+
+We prefer that the cluster network is **NOT** reachable from the public network
+or the Internet for added security.
+
+
+Ceph Daemons
+============
+
+Ceph has one network configuration requirement that applies to all daemons: the
+Ceph configuration file **MUST** specify the ``host`` for each daemon. Ceph also
+requires that a Ceph configuration file specify the monitor IP address and its
+port.
+
+.. important:: Some deployment tools (e.g., ``ceph-deploy``, Chef) may create a
+ configuration file for you. **DO NOT** set these values if the deployment
+ tool does it for you.
+
+.. tip:: The ``host`` setting is the short name of the host (i.e., not
+ an fqdn). It is **NOT** an IP address either. Enter ``hostname -s`` on
+ the command line to retrieve the name of the host.
+
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [mon.a]
+
+ host = {hostname}
+ mon addr = {ip-address}:6789
+
+ [osd.0]
+ host = {hostname}
+
+
+You do not have to set the host IP address for a daemon. If you have a static IP
+configuration and both public and cluster networks running, the Ceph
+configuration file may specify the IP address of the host for each daemon. To
+set a static IP address for a daemon, the following option(s) should appear in
+the daemon instance sections of your ``ceph.conf`` file.
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [osd.0]
+ public addr = {host-public-ip-address}
+ cluster addr = {host-cluster-ip-address}
+
+
+.. topic:: One NIC OSD in a Two Network Cluster
+
+ Generally, we do not recommend deploying an OSD host with a single NIC in a
+ cluster with two networks. However, you may accomplish this by forcing the
+ OSD host to operate on the public network by adding a ``public addr`` entry
+ to the ``[osd.n]`` section of the Ceph configuration file, where ``n``
+ refers to the number of the OSD with one NIC. Additionally, the public
+ network and cluster network must be able to route traffic to each other,
+ which we don't recommend for security reasons.
+
+
+Network Config Settings
+=======================
+
+Network configuration settings are not required. Ceph assumes a public network
+with all hosts operating on it unless you specifically configure a cluster
+network.
+
+
+Public Network
+--------------
+
+The public network configuration allows you specifically define IP addresses
+and subnets for the public network. You may specifically assign static IP
+addresses or override ``public network`` settings using the ``public addr``
+setting for a specific daemon.
+
+``public network``
+
+:Description: The IP address and netmask of the public (front-side) network
+ (e.g., ``192.168.0.0/24``). Set in ``[global]``. You may specify
+ comma-delimited subnets.
+
+:Type: ``{ip-address}/{netmask} [, {ip-address}/{netmask}]``
+:Required: No
+:Default: N/A
+
+
+``public addr``
+
+:Description: The IP address for the public (front-side) network.
+ Set for each daemon.
+
+:Type: IP Address
+:Required: No
+:Default: N/A
+
+
+
+Cluster Network
+---------------
+
+The cluster network configuration allows you to declare a cluster network, and
+specifically define IP addresses and subnets for the cluster network. You may
+specifically assign static IP addresses or override ``cluster network``
+settings using the ``cluster addr`` setting for specific OSD daemons.
+
+
+``cluster network``
+
+:Description: The IP address and netmask of the cluster (back-side) network
+ (e.g., ``10.0.0.0/24``). Set in ``[global]``. You may specify
+ comma-delimited subnets.
+
+:Type: ``{ip-address}/{netmask} [, {ip-address}/{netmask}]``
+:Required: No
+:Default: N/A
+
+
+``cluster addr``
+
+:Description: The IP address for the cluster (back-side) network.
+ Set for each daemon.
+
+:Type: Address
+:Required: No
+:Default: N/A
+
+
+Bind
+----
+
+Bind settings set the default port ranges Ceph OSD and MDS daemons use. The
+default range is ``6800:7300``. Ensure that your `IP Tables`_ configuration
+allows you to use the configured port range.
+
+You may also enable Ceph daemons to bind to IPv6 addresses instead of IPv4
+addresses.
+
+
+``ms bind port min``
+
+:Description: The minimum port number to which an OSD or MDS daemon will bind.
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``6800``
+:Required: No
+
+
+``ms bind port max``
+
+:Description: The maximum port number to which an OSD or MDS daemon will bind.
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``7300``
+:Required: No.
+
+
+``ms bind ipv6``
+
+:Description: Enables Ceph daemons to bind to IPv6 addresses. Currently the
+ messenger *either* uses IPv4 or IPv6, but it cannot do both.
+:Type: Boolean
+:Default: ``false``
+:Required: No
+
+``public bind addr``
+
+:Description: In some dynamic deployments the Ceph MON daemon might bind
+ to an IP address locally that is different from the ``public addr``
+ advertised to other peers in the network. The environment must ensure
+ that routing rules are set correclty. If ``public bind addr`` is set
+ the Ceph MON daemon will bind to it locally and use ``public addr``
+ in the monmaps to advertise its address to peers. This behavior is limited
+ to the MON daemon.
+
+:Type: IP Address
+:Required: No
+:Default: N/A
+
+
+
+Hosts
+-----
+
+Ceph expects at least one monitor declared in the Ceph configuration file, with
+a ``mon addr`` setting under each declared monitor. Ceph expects a ``host``
+setting under each declared monitor, metadata server and OSD in the Ceph
+configuration file. Optionally, a monitor can be assigned with a priority, and
+the clients will always connect to the monitor with lower value of priority if
+specified.
+
+
+``mon addr``
+
+:Description: A list of ``{hostname}:{port}`` entries that clients can use to
+ connect to a Ceph monitor. If not set, Ceph searches ``[mon.*]``
+ sections.
+
+:Type: String
+:Required: No
+:Default: N/A
+
+``mon priority``
+
+:Description: The priority of the declared monitor, the lower value the more
+ prefered when a client selects a monitor when trying to connect
+ to the cluster.
+
+:Type: Unsigned 16-bit Integer
+:Required: No
+:Default: 0
+
+``host``
+
+:Description: The hostname. Use this setting for specific daemon instances
+ (e.g., ``[osd.0]``).
+
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes, for daemon instances.
+:Default: ``localhost``
+
+.. tip:: Do not use ``localhost``. To get your host name, execute
+ ``hostname -s`` on your command line and use the name of your host
+ (to the first period, not the fully-qualified domain name).
+
+.. important:: You should not specify any value for ``host`` when using a third
+ party deployment system that retrieves the host name for you.
+
+
+
+TCP
+---
+
+Ceph disables TCP buffering by default.
+
+
+``ms tcp nodelay``
+
+:Description: Ceph enables ``ms tcp nodelay`` so that each request is sent
+ immediately (no buffering). Disabling `Nagle's algorithm`_
+ increases network traffic, which can introduce latency. If you
+ experience large numbers of small packets, you may try
+ disabling ``ms tcp nodelay``.
+
+:Type: Boolean
+:Required: No
+:Default: ``true``
+
+
+
+``ms tcp rcvbuf``
+
+:Description: The size of the socket buffer on the receiving end of a network
+ connection. Disable by default.
+
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Required: No
+:Default: ``0``
+
+
+
+``ms tcp read timeout``
+
+:Description: If a client or daemon makes a request to another Ceph daemon and
+ does not drop an unused connection, the ``ms tcp read timeout``
+ defines the connection as idle after the specified number
+ of seconds.
+
+:Type: Unsigned 64-bit Integer
+:Required: No
+:Default: ``900`` 15 minutes.

+======================
+ OSD Config Reference
+======================
+
+.. index:: OSD; configuration
+
+You can configure Ceph OSD Daemons in the Ceph configuration file, but Ceph OSD
+Daemons can use the default values and a very minimal configuration. A minimal
+Ceph OSD Daemon configuration sets ``osd journal size`` and ``host``, and
+uses default values for nearly everything else.
+
+Ceph OSD Daemons are numerically identified in incremental fashion, beginning
+with ``0`` using the following convention. ::
+
+ osd.0
+ osd.1
+ osd.2
+
+In a configuration file, you may specify settings for all Ceph OSD Daemons in
+the cluster by adding configuration settings to the ``[osd]`` section of your
+configuration file. To add settings directly to a specific Ceph OSD Daemon
+(e.g., ``host``), enter it in an OSD-specific section of your configuration
+file. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ [osd]
+ osd journal size = 1024
+
+ [osd.0]
+ host = osd-host-a
+
+ [osd.1]
+ host = osd-host-b
+
+
+.. index:: OSD; config settings
+
+General Settings
+================
+
+The following settings provide an Ceph OSD Daemon's ID, and determine paths to
+data and journals. Ceph deployment scripts typically generate the UUID
+automatically. We **DO NOT** recommend changing the default paths for data or
+journals, as it makes it more problematic to troubleshoot Ceph later.
+
+The journal size should be at least twice the product of the expected drive
+speed multiplied by ``filestore max sync interval``. However, the most common
+practice is to partition the journal drive (often an SSD), and mount it such
+that Ceph uses the entire partition for the journal.
+
+
+``osd uuid``
+
+:Description: The universally unique identifier (UUID) for the Ceph OSD Daemon.
+:Type: UUID
+:Default: The UUID.
+:Note: The ``osd uuid`` applies to a single Ceph OSD Daemon. The ``fsid``
+ applies to the entire cluster.
+
+
+``osd data``
+
+:Description: The path to the OSDs data. You must create the directory when
+ deploying Ceph. You should mount a drive for OSD data at this
+ mount point. We do not recommend changing the default.
+
+:Type: String
+:Default: ``/var/lib/ceph/osd/$cluster-$id``
+
+
+``osd max write size``
+
+:Description: The maximum size of a write in megabytes.
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``90``
+
+
+``osd client message size cap``
+
+:Description: The largest client data message allowed in memory.
+:Type: 64-bit Unsigned Integer
+:Default: 500MB default. ``500*1024L*1024L``
+
+
+``osd class dir``
+
+:Description: The class path for RADOS class plug-ins.
+:Type: String
+:Default: ``$libdir/rados-classes``
+
+
+.. index:: OSD; file system
+
+File System Settings
+====================
+Ceph builds and mounts file systems which are used for Ceph OSDs.
+
+``osd mkfs options {fs-type}``
+
+:Description: Options used when creating a new Ceph OSD of type {fs-type}.
+
+:Type: String
+:Default for xfs: ``-f -i 2048``
+:Default for other file systems: {empty string}
+
+For example::
+ ``osd mkfs options xfs = -f -d agcount=24``
+
+``osd mount options {fs-type}``
+
+:Description: Options used when mounting a Ceph OSD of type {fs-type}.
+
+:Type: String
+:Default for xfs: ``rw,noatime,inode64``
+:Default for other file systems: ``rw, noatime``
+
+For example::
+ ``osd mount options xfs = rw, noatime, inode64, logbufs=8``
+
+
+.. index:: OSD; journal settings
+
+Journal Settings
+================
+
+By default, Ceph expects that you will store an Ceph OSD Daemons journal with
+the following path::
+
+ /var/lib/ceph/osd/$cluster-$id/journal
+
+Without performance optimization, Ceph stores the journal on the same disk as
+the Ceph OSD Daemons data. An Ceph OSD Daemon optimized for performance may use
+a separate disk to store journal data (e.g., a solid state drive delivers high
+performance journaling).
+
+Ceph's default ``osd journal size`` is 0, so you will need to set this in your
+``ceph.conf`` file. A journal size should find the product of the ``filestore
+max sync interval`` and the expected throughput, and multiply the product by
+two (2)::
+
+ osd journal size = {2 * (expected throughput * filestore max sync interval)}
+
+The expected throughput number should include the expected disk throughput
+(i.e., sustained data transfer rate), and network throughput. For example,
+a 7200 RPM disk will likely have approximately 100 MB/s. Taking the ``min()``
+of the disk and network throughput should provide a reasonable expected
+throughput. Some users just start off with a 10GB journal size. For
+example::
+
+ osd journal size = 10000
+
+
+``osd journal``
+
+:Description: The path to the OSD's journal. This may be a path to a file or a
+ block device (such as a partition of an SSD). If it is a file,
+ you must create the directory to contain it. We recommend using a
+ drive separate from the ``osd data`` drive.
+
+:Type: String
+:Default: ``/var/lib/ceph/osd/$cluster-$id/journal``
+
+
+``osd journal size``
+
+:Description: The size of the journal in megabytes. If this is 0, and the
+ journal is a block device, the entire block device is used.
+ Since v0.54, this is ignored if the journal is a block device,
+ and the entire block device is used.
+
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``5120``
+:Recommended: Begin with 1GB. Should be at least twice the product of the
+ expected speed multiplied by ``filestore max sync interval``.
+
+
+See `Journal Config Reference`_ for additional details.
+
+
+Monitor OSD Interaction
+=======================
+
+Ceph OSD Daemons check each other's heartbeats and report to monitors
+periodically. Ceph can use default values in many cases. However, if your
+network has latency issues, you may need to adopt longer intervals. See
+`Configuring Monitor/OSD Interaction`_ for a detailed discussion of heartbeats.
+
+
+Data Placement
+==============
+
+See `Pool & PG Config Reference`_ for details.
+
+
+.. index:: OSD; scrubbing
+
+Scrubbing
+=========
+
+In addition to making multiple copies of objects, Ceph insures data integrity by
+scrubbing placement groups. Ceph scrubbing is analogous to ``fsck`` on the
+object storage layer. For each placement group, Ceph generates a catalog of all
+objects and compares each primary object and its replicas to ensure that no
+objects are missing or mismatched. Light scrubbing (daily) checks the object
+size and attributes. Deep scrubbing (weekly) reads the data and uses checksums
+to ensure data integrity.
+
+Scrubbing is important for maintaining data integrity, but it can reduce
+performance. You can adjust the following settings to increase or decrease
+scrubbing operations.
+
+
+``osd max scrubs``
+
+:Description: The maximum number of simultaneous scrub operations for
+ a Ceph OSD Daemon.
+
+:Type: 32-bit Int
+:Default: ``1``
+
+``osd scrub begin hour``
+
+:Description: The time of day for the lower bound when a scheduled scrub can be
+ performed.
+:Type: Integer in the range of 0 to 24
+:Default: ``0``
+
+
+``osd scrub end hour``
+
+:Description: The time of day for the upper bound when a scheduled scrub can be
+ performed. Along with ``osd scrub begin hour``, they define a time
+ window, in which the scrubs can happen. But a scrub will be performed
+ no matter the time window allows or not, as long as the placement
+ group's scrub interval exceeds ``osd scrub max interval``.
+:Type: Integer in the range of 0 to 24
+:Default: ``24``
+
+
+``osd scrub during recovery``
+
+:Description: Allow scrub during recovery. Setting this to ``false`` will disable
+ scheduling new scrub (and deep--scrub) while there is active recovery.
+ Already running scrubs will be continued. This might be useful to reduce
+ load on busy clusters.
+:Type: Boolean
+:Default: ``true``
+
+
+``osd scrub thread timeout``
+
+:Description: The maximum time in seconds before timing out a scrub thread.
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``60``
+
+
+``osd scrub finalize thread timeout``
+
+:Description: The maximum time in seconds before timing out a scrub finalize
+ thread.
+
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``60*10``
+
+
+``osd scrub load threshold``
+
+:Description: The maximum load. Ceph will not scrub when the system load
+ (as defined by ``getloadavg()``) is higher than this number.
+ Default is ``0.5``.
+
+:Type: Float
+:Default: ``0.5``
+
+
+``osd scrub min interval``
+
+:Description: The minimal interval in seconds for scrubbing the Ceph OSD Daemon
+ when the Ceph Storage Cluster load is low.
+
+:Type: Float
+:Default: Once per day. ``60*60*24``
+
+
+``osd scrub max interval``
+
+:Description: The maximum interval in seconds for scrubbing the Ceph OSD Daemon
+ irrespective of cluster load.
+
+:Type: Float
+:Default: Once per week. ``7*60*60*24``
+
+
+``osd scrub chunk min``
+
+:Description: The minimal number of object store chunks to scrub during single operation.
+ Ceph blocks writes to single chunk during scrub.
+
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: 5
+
+
+``osd scrub chunk max``
+
+:Description: The maximum number of object store chunks to scrub during single operation.
+
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: 25
+
+
+``osd scrub sleep``
+
+:Description: Time to sleep before scrubbing next group of chunks. Increasing this value will slow
+ down whole scrub operation while client operations will be less impacted.
+
+:Type: Float
+:Default: 0
+
+
+``osd deep scrub interval``
+
+:Description: The interval for "deep" scrubbing (fully reading all data). The
+ ``osd scrub load threshold`` does not affect this setting.
+
+:Type: Float
+:Default: Once per week. ``60*60*24*7``
+
+
+``osd scrub interval randomize ratio``
+
+:Description: Add a random delay to ``osd scrub min interval`` when scheduling
+ the next scrub job for a placement group. The delay is a random
+ value less than ``osd scrub min interval`` \*
+ ``osd scrub interval randomized ratio``. So the default setting
+ practically randomly spreads the scrubs out in the allowed time
+ window of ``[1, 1.5]`` \* ``osd scrub min interval``.
+:Type: Float
+:Default: ``0.5``
+
+``osd deep scrub stride``
+
+:Description: Read size when doing a deep scrub.
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: 512 KB. ``524288``
+
+
+.. index:: OSD; operations settings
+
+Operations
+==========
+
+Operations settings allow you to configure the number of threads for servicing
+requests. If you set ``osd op threads`` to ``0``, it disables multi-threading.
+By default, Ceph uses two threads with a 30 second timeout and a 30 second
+complaint time if an operation doesn't complete within those time parameters.
+You can set operations priority weights between client operations and
+recovery operations to ensure optimal performance during recovery.
+
+
+``osd op threads``
+
+:Description: The number of threads to service Ceph OSD Daemon operations.
+ Set to ``0`` to disable it. Increasing the number may increase
+ the request processing rate.
+
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``2``
+
+
+``osd op queue``
+
+:Description: This sets the type of queue to be used for prioritizing ops
+ in the OSDs. Both queues feature a strict sub-queue which is
+ dequeued before the normal queue. The normal queue is different
+ between implementations. The original PrioritizedQueue (``prio``) uses a
+ token bucket system which when there are sufficient tokens will
+ dequeue high priority queues first. If there are not enough
+ tokens available, queues are dequeued low priority to high priority.
+ The WeightedPriorityQueue (``wpq``) dequeues all priorities in
+ relation to their priorities to prevent starvation of any queue.
+ WPQ should help in cases where a few OSDs are more overloaded
+ than others. The new mClock based OpClassQueue
+ (``mclock_opclass``) prioritizes operations based on which class
+ they belong to (recovery, scrub, snaptrim, client op, osd subop).
+ And, the mClock based ClientQueue (``mclock_client``) also
+ incorporates the client identifier in order to promote fairness
+ between clients. See `QoS Based on mClock`_. Requires a restart.
+
+:Type: String
+:Valid Choices: prio, wpq, mclock_opclass, mclock_client
+:Default: ``prio``
+
+
+``osd op queue cut off``
+
+:Description: This selects which priority ops will be sent to the strict
+ queue verses the normal queue. The ``low`` setting sends all
+ replication ops and higher to the strict queue, while the ``high``
+ option sends only replication acknowledgement ops and higher to
+ the strict queue. Setting this to ``high`` should help when a few
+ OSDs in the cluster are very busy especially when combined with
+ ``wpq`` in the ``osd op queue`` setting. OSDs that are very busy
+ handling replication traffic could starve primary client traffic
+ on these OSDs without these settings. Requires a restart.
+
+:Type: String
+:Valid Choices: low, high
+:Default: ``low``
+
+
+``osd client op priority``
+
+:Description: The priority set for client operations. It is relative to
+ ``osd recovery op priority``.
+
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``63``
+:Valid Range: 1-63
+
+
+``osd recovery op priority``
+
+:Description: The priority set for recovery operations. It is relative to
+ ``osd client op priority``.
+
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``3``
+:Valid Range: 1-63
+
+
+``osd scrub priority``
+
+:Description: The priority set for scrub operations. It is relative to
+ ``osd client op priority``.
+
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``5``
+:Valid Range: 1-63
+
+
+``osd snap trim priority``
+
+:Description: The priority set for snap trim operations. It is relative to
+ ``osd client op priority``.
+
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``5``
+:Valid Range: 1-63
+
+
+``osd op thread timeout``
+
+:Description: The Ceph OSD Daemon operation thread timeout in seconds.
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``15``
+
+
+``osd op complaint time``
+
+:Description: An operation becomes complaint worthy after the specified number
+ of seconds have elapsed.
+
+:Type: Float
+:Default: ``30``
+
+
+``osd disk threads``
+
+:Description: The number of disk threads, which are used to perform background
+ disk intensive OSD operations such as scrubbing and snap
+ trimming.
+
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``1``
+
+``osd disk thread ioprio class``
+
+:Description: Warning: it will only be used if both ``osd disk thread
+ ioprio class`` and ``osd disk thread ioprio priority`` are
+ set to a non default value. Sets the ioprio_set(2) I/O
+ scheduling ``class`` for the disk thread. Acceptable
+ values are ``idle``, ``be`` or ``rt``. The ``idle``
+ class means the disk thread will have lower priority
+ than any other thread in the OSD. This is useful to slow
+ down scrubbing on an OSD that is busy handling client
+ operations. ``be`` is the default and is the same
+ priority as all other threads in the OSD. ``rt`` means
+ the disk thread will have precendence over all other
+ threads in the OSD. Note: Only works with the Linux Kernel
+ CFQ scheduler. Since Jewel scrubbing is no longer carried
+ out by the disk iothread, see osd priority options instead.
+:Type: String
+:Default: the empty string
+
+``osd disk thread ioprio priority``
+
+:Description: Warning: it will only be used if both ``osd disk thread
+ ioprio class`` and ``osd disk thread ioprio priority`` are
+ set to a non default value. It sets the ioprio_set(2)
+ I/O scheduling ``priority`` of the disk thread ranging
+ from 0 (highest) to 7 (lowest). If all OSDs on a given
+ host were in class ``idle`` and compete for I/O
+ (i.e. due to controller congestion), it can be used to
+ lower the disk thread priority of one OSD to 7 so that
+ another OSD with priority 0 can have priority.
+ Note: Only works with the Linux Kernel CFQ scheduler.
+:Type: Integer in the range of 0 to 7 or -1 if not to be used.
+:Default: ``-1``
+
+``osd op history size``
+
+:Description: The maximum number of completed operations to track.
+:Type: 32-bit Unsigned Integer
+:Default: ``20``
+
+
+``osd op history duration``
+
+:Description: The oldest completed operation to track.
+:Type: 32-bit Unsigned Integer
+:Default: ``600``
+
+
+``osd op log threshold``
+
+:Description: How many operations logs to display at once.
+:Type: 32-bit Integer
+:Default: ``5``
+
+
+QoS Based on mClock
+-------------------
+
+Ceph's use of mClock is currently in the experimental phase and should
+be approached with an exploratory mindset.
+
+Core Concepts
+`````````````
+
+The QoS support of Ceph is implemented using a queueing scheduler
+based on `the dmClock algorithm`_. This algorithm allocates the I/O
+resources of the Ceph cluster in proportion to weights, and enforces
+the constraits of minimum reservation and maximum limitation, so that
+the services can compete for the resources fairly. Currently the
+*mclock_opclass* operation queue divides Ceph services involving I/O
+resources into following buckets:
+
+- client op: the iops issued by client
+- osd subop: the iops issued by primary OSD
+- snap trim: the snap trimming related requests
+- pg recovery: the recovery related requests
+- pg scrub: the scrub related requests
+
+And the resources are partitioned using following three sets of tags. In other
+words, the share of each type of service is controlled by three tags:
+
+#. reservation: the minimum IOPS allocated for the service.
+#. limitation: the maximum IOPS allocated for the service.
+#. weight: the proportional share of capacity if extra capacity or system
+ oversubscribed.
+
+In Ceph operations are graded with "cost". And the resources allocated
+for serving various services are consumed by these "costs". So, for
+example, the more reservation a services has, the more resource it is
+guaranteed to possess, as long as it requires. Assuming there are 2
+services: recovery and client ops:
+
+- recovery: (r:1, l:5, w:1)
+- client ops: (r:2, l:0, w:9)
+
+The settings above ensure that the recovery won't get more than 5
+requests per second serviced, even if it requires so (see CURRENT
+IMPLEMENTATION NOTE below), and no other services are competing with
+it. But if the clients start to issue large amount of I/O requests,
+neither will they exhaust all the I/O resources. 1 request per second
+is always allocated for recovery jobs as long as there are any such
+requests. So the recovery jobs won't be starved even in a cluster with
+high load. And in the meantime, the client ops can enjoy a larger
+portion of the I/O resource, because its weight is "9", while its
+competitor "1". In the case of client ops, it is not clamped by the
+limit setting, so it can make use of all the resources if there is no
+recovery ongoing.
+
+Along with *mclock_opclass* another mclock operation queue named
+*mclock_client* is available. It divides operations based on category
+but also divides them based on the client making the request. This
+helps not only manage the distribution of resources spent on different
+classes of operations but also tries to insure fairness among clients.
+
+CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: the current experimental implementation
+does not enforce the limit values. As a first approximation we decided
+not to prevent operations that would otherwise enter the operation
+sequencer from doing so.
+
+Subtleties of mClock
+````````````````````
+
+The reservation and limit values have a unit of requests per
+second. The weight, however, does not technically have a unit and the
+weights are relative to one another. So if one class of requests has a
+weight of 1 and another a weight of 9, then the latter class of
+requests should get 9 executed at a 9 to 1 ratio as the first class.
+However that will only happen once the reservations are met and those
+values include the operations executed under the reservation phase.
+
+Even though the weights do not have units, one must be careful in
+choosing their values due how the algorithm assigns weight tags to
+requests. If the weight is *W*, then for a given class of requests,
+the next one that comes in will have a weight tag of *1/W* plus the
+previous weight tag or the current time, whichever is larger. That
+means if *W* is sufficiently large and therefore *1/W* is sufficiently
+small, the calculated tag may never be assigned as it will get a value
+of the current time. The ultimate lesson is that values for weight
+should not be too large. They should be under the number of requests
+one expects to ve serviced each second.
+
+Caveats
+```````
+
+There are some factors that can reduce the impact of the mClock op
+queues within Ceph. First, requests to an OSD are sharded by their
+placement group identifier. Each shard has its own mClock queue and
+these queues neither interact nor share information among them. The
+number of shards can be controlled with the configuration options
+``osd_op_num_shards``, ``osd_op_num_shards_hdd``, and
+``osd_op_num_shards_ssd``. A lower number of shards will increase the
+impact of the mClock queues, but may have other deliterious effects.
+
+Second, requests are transferred from the operation queue to the
+operation sequencer, in which they go through the phases of
+execution. The operation queue is where mClock resides and mClock
+determines the next op to transfer to the operation sequencer. The
+number of operations allowed in the operation sequencer is a complex
+issue. In general we want to keep enough operations in the sequencer
+so it's always getting work done on some operations while it's waiting
+for disk and network access to complete on other operations. On the
+other hand, once an operation is transferred to the operation
+sequencer, mClock no longer has control over it. Therefore to maximize
+the impact of mClock, we want to keep as few operations in the
+operation sequencer as possible. So we have an inherent tension.
+
+The configuration options that influence the number of operations in
+the operation sequencer are ``bluestore_throttle_bytes``,
+``bluestore_throttle_deferred_bytes``,
+``bluestore_throttle_cost_per_io``,
+``bluestore_throttle_cost_per_io_hdd``, and
+``bluestore_throttle_cost_per_io_ssd``.
+
+A third factor that affects the impact of the mClock algorithm is that
+we're using a distributed system, where requests are made to multiple
+OSDs and each OSD has (can have) multiple shards. Yet we're currently
+using the mClock algorithm, which is not distributed (note: dmClock is
+the distributed version of mClock).
+
+Various organizations and individuals are currently experimenting with
+mClock as it exists in this code base along with their modifications
+to the code base. We hope you'll share you're experiences with your
+mClock and dmClock experiments in the ceph-devel mailing list.

+
+Backfilling
+===========
+
+When you add or remove Ceph OSD Daemons to a cluster, the CRUSH algorithm will
+want to rebalance the cluster by moving placement groups to or from Ceph OSD
+Daemons to restore the balance. The process of migrating placement groups and
+the objects they contain can reduce the cluster's operational performance
+considerably. To maintain operational performance, Ceph performs this migration
+with 'backfilling', which allows Ceph to set backfill operations to a lower
+priority than requests to read or write data.
+
+
+``osd max backfills``

+.. index:: OSD; recovery
+
+Recovery
+========
+
+When the cluster starts or when a Ceph OSD Daemon crashes and restarts, the OSD
+begins peering with other Ceph OSD Daemons before writes can occur. See
+`Monitoring OSDs and PGs`_ for details.
+
+If a Ceph OSD Daemon crashes and comes back online, usually it will be out of
+sync with other Ceph OSD Daemons containing more recent versions of objects in
+the placement groups. When this happens, the Ceph OSD Daemon goes into recovery
+mode and seeks to get the latest copy of the data and bring its map back up to
+date. Depending upon how long the Ceph OSD Daemon was down, the OSD's objects
+and placement groups may be significantly out of date. Also, if a failure domain
+went down (e.g., a rack), more than one Ceph OSD Daemon may come back online at
+the same time. This can make the recovery process time consuming and resource
+intensive.
+
+To maintain operational performance, Ceph performs recovery with limitations on
+the number recovery requests, threads and object chunk sizes which allows Ceph
+perform well in a degraded state.

+=================
+ Storage Devices
+=================
+
+There are two Ceph daemons that store data on disk:
+
+* **Ceph OSDs** (or Object Storage Daemons) are where most of the
+ data is stored in Ceph. Generally speaking, each OSD is backed by
+ a single storage device, like a traditional hard disk (HDD) or
+ solid state disk (SSD). OSDs can also be backed by a combination
+ of devices, like a HDD for most data and an SSD (or partition of an
+ SSD) for some metadata. The number of OSDs in a cluster is
+ generally a function of how much data will be stored, how big each
+ storage device will be, and the level and type of redundancy
+ (replication or erasure coding).
+* **Ceph Monitor** daemons manage critical cluster state like cluster
+ membership and authentication information. For smaller clusters a
+ few gigabytes is all that is needed, although for larger clusters
+ the monitor database can reach tens or possibly hundreds of
+ gigabytes.
+
+
+OSD Backends
+============
+
+There are two ways that OSDs can manage the data they store. Starting
+with the Luminous 12.2.z release, the new default (and recommended) backend is
+*BlueStore*. Prior to Luminous, the default (and only option) was
+*FileStore*.
+
+BlueStore
+---------
+
+BlueStore is a special-purpose storage backend designed specifically
+for managing data on disk for Ceph OSD workloads. It is motivated by
+experience supporting and managing OSDs using FileStore over the
+last ten years. Key BlueStore features include:
+
+* Direct management of storage devices. BlueStore consumes raw block
+ devices or partitions. This avoids any intervening layers of
+ abstraction (such as local file systems like XFS) that may limit
+ performance or add complexity.
+* Metadata management with RocksDB. We embed RocksDB's key/value database
+ in order to manage internal metadata, such as the mapping from object
+ names to block locations on disk.
+* Full data and metadata checksumming. By default all data and
+ metadata written to BlueStore is protected by one or more
+ checksums. No data or metadata will be read from disk or returned
+ to the user without being verified.
+* Inline compression. Data written may be optionally compressed
+ before being written to disk.
+* Multi-device metadata tiering. BlueStore allows its internal
+ journal (write-ahead log) to be written to a separate, high-speed
+ device (like an SSD, NVMe, or NVDIMM) to increased performance. If
+ a significant amount of faster storage is available, internal
+ metadata can also be stored on the faster device.
+* Efficient copy-on-write. RBD and CephFS snapshots rely on a
+ copy-on-write *clone* mechanism that is implemented efficiently in
+ BlueStore. This results in efficient IO both for regular snapshots
+ and for erasure coded pools (which rely on cloning to implement
+ efficient two-phase commits).
+
+For more information, see :doc:`bluestore-config-ref`.
+
+FileStore
+---------
+
+FileStore is the legacy approach to storing objects in Ceph. It
+relies on a standard file system (normally XFS) in combination with a
+key/value database (traditionally LevelDB, now RocksDB) for some
+metadata.
+
+FileStore is well-tested and widely used in production but suffers
+from many performance deficiencies due to its overall design and
+reliance on a traditional file system for storing object data.
+
+Although FileStore is generally capable of functioning on most
+POSIX-compatible file systems (including btrfs and ext4), we only
+recommend that XFS be used. Both btrfs and ext4 have known bugs and
+deficiencies and their use may lead to data loss. By default all Ceph
+provisioning tools will use XFS.
+
+For more information, see :doc:`filestore-config-ref`.

+ Admin Tasks
+=============
+
+Once you have set up a cluster with ``ceph-deploy``, you may
+provide the client admin key and the Ceph configuration file
+to another host so that a user on the host may use the ``ceph``
+command line as an administrative user.
+
+
+Create an Admin Host
+====================
+
+To enable a host to execute ceph commands with administrator
+privileges, use the ``admin`` command. ::
+
+ ceph-deploy admin {host-name [host-name]...}
+
+
+Deploy Config File
+==================
+
+To send an updated copy of the Ceph configuration file to hosts
+in your cluster, use the ``config push`` command. ::
+
+ ceph-deploy config push {host-name [host-name]...}
+
+.. tip:: With a base name and increment host-naming convention,
+ it is easy to deploy configuration files via simple scripts
+ (e.g., ``ceph-deploy config hostname{1,2,3,4,5}``).
+
+Retrieve Config File
+====================
+
+To retrieve a copy of the Ceph configuration file from a host
+in your cluster, use the ``config pull`` command. ::
+
+ ceph-deploy config pull {host-name [host-name]...}

+ Package Management
+====================
+
+Install
+=======
+
+To install Ceph packages on your cluster hosts, open a command line on your
+client machine and type the following::
+
+ ceph-deploy install {hostname [hostname] ...}
+
+Without additional arguments, ``ceph-deploy`` will install the most recent
+major release of Ceph to the cluster host(s). To specify a particular package,
+you may select from the following:
+
+- ``--release <code-name>``
+- ``--testing``
+- ``--dev <branch-or-tag>``
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph-deploy install --release cuttlefish hostname1
+ ceph-deploy install --testing hostname2
+ ceph-deploy install --dev wip-some-branch hostname{1,2,3,4,5}
+
+For additional usage, execute::
+
+ ceph-deploy install -h
+
+
+Uninstall
+=========
+
+To uninstall Ceph packages from your cluster hosts, open a terminal on
+your admin host and type the following::
+
+ ceph-deploy uninstall {hostname [hostname] ...}
+
+On a Debian or Ubuntu system, you may also::
+
+ ceph-deploy purge {hostname [hostname] ...}
+
+The tool will unininstall ``ceph`` packages from the specified hosts. Purge
+additionally removes configuration files.

+ Add/Remove Monitors
+=====================
+
+With ``ceph-deploy``, adding and removing monitors is a simple task. You just
+add or remove one or more monitors on the command line with one command. Before
+``ceph-deploy``, the process of `adding and removing monitors`_ involved
+numerous manual steps. Using ``ceph-deploy`` imposes a restriction: **you may
+only install one monitor per host.**
+
+.. note:: We do not recommend comingling monitors and OSDs on
+ the same host.
+
+For high availability, you should run a production Ceph cluster with **AT
+LEAST** three monitors. Ceph uses the Paxos algorithm, which requires a
+consensus among the majority of monitors in a quorum. With Paxos, the monitors
+cannot determine a majority for establishing a quorum with only two monitors. A
+majority of monitors must be counted as such: 1:1, 2:3, 3:4, 3:5, 4:6, etc.
+
+See `Monitor Config Reference`_ for details on configuring monitors.
+
+
+Add a Monitor
+=============
+
+Once you create a cluster and install Ceph packages to the monitor host(s), you
+may deploy the monitor(s) to the monitor host(s). When using ``ceph-deploy``,
+the tool enforces a single monitor per host. ::
+
+ ceph-deploy mon create {host-name [host-name]...}
+
+
+.. note:: Ensure that you add monitors such that they may arrive at a consensus
+ among a majority of monitors, otherwise other steps (like ``ceph-deploy gatherkeys``)
+ will fail.
+
+.. note:: When adding a monitor on a host that was not in hosts initially defined
+ with the ``ceph-deploy new`` command, a ``public network`` statement needs
+ to be added to the ceph.conf file.
+
+Remove a Monitor
+================

+==================
+ Create a Cluster
+==================
+
+The first step in using Ceph with ``ceph-deploy`` is to create a new Ceph
+cluster. A new Ceph cluster has:
+
+- A Ceph configuration file, and
+- A monitor keyring.
+
+The Ceph configuration file consists of at least:
+
+- Its own filesystem ID (``fsid``)
+- The initial monitor(s) hostname(s), and
+- The initial monitor(s) and IP address(es).
+
+For additional details, see the `Monitor Configuration Reference`_.
+
+The ``ceph-deploy`` tool also creates a monitor keyring and populates it with a
+``[mon.]`` key. For additional details, see the `Cephx Guide`_.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+To create a cluster with ``ceph-deploy``, use the ``new`` command and specify
+the host(s) that will be initial members of the monitor quorum. ::
+
+ ceph-deploy new {host [host], ...}
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph-deploy new mon1.foo.com
+ ceph-deploy new mon{1,2,3}
+
+The ``ceph-deploy`` utility will use DNS to resolve hostnames to IP
+addresses. The monitors will be named using the first component of
+the name (e.g., ``mon1`` above). It will add the specified host names
+to the Ceph configuration file. For additional details, execute::
+
+ ceph-deploy new -h
+
+
+Naming a Cluster
+----------------
+
+By default, Ceph clusters have a cluster name of ``ceph``. You can specify
+a cluster name if you want to run multiple clusters on the same hardware. For
+example, if you want to optimize a cluster for use with block devices, and
+another for use with the gateway, you can run two different clusters on the same
+hardware if they have a different ``fsid`` and cluster name. ::
+
+ ceph-deploy --cluster {cluster-name} new {host [host], ...}
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph-deploy --cluster rbdcluster new ceph-mon1
+ ceph-deploy --cluster rbdcluster new ceph-mon{1,2,3}
+
+.. note:: If you run multiple clusters, ensure you adjust the default
+ port settings and open ports for your additional cluster(s) so that
+ the networks of the two different clusters don't conflict with each other.

+=================
+ Add/Remove OSDs
+=================
+
+Adding and removing Ceph OSD Daemons to your cluster may involve a few more
+steps when compared to adding and removing other Ceph daemons. Ceph OSD Daemons
+write data to the disk and to journals. So you need to provide a disk for the
+OSD and a path to the journal partition (i.e., this is the most common
+configuration, but you may configure your system to your own needs).
+
+In Ceph v0.60 and later releases, Ceph supports ``dm-crypt`` on disk encryption.
+You may specify the ``--dmcrypt`` argument when preparing an OSD to tell
+``ceph-deploy`` that you want to use encryption. You may also specify the
+``--dmcrypt-key-dir`` argument to specify the location of ``dm-crypt``
+encryption keys.
+
+You should test various drive configurations to gauge their throughput before
+before building out a large cluster. See `Data Storage`_ for additional details.
+
+
+List Disks
+==========
+
+To list the disks on a node, execute the following command::
+
+ ceph-deploy disk list {node-name [node-name]...}
+
+
+Zap Disks
+=========
+
+To zap a disk (delete its partition table) in preparation for use with Ceph,
+execute the following::
+
+ ceph-deploy disk zap {osd-server-name}:{disk-name}
+ ceph-deploy disk zap osdserver1:sdb
+
+.. important:: This will delete all data.
+
+
+Prepare OSDs
+============
+
+Once you create a cluster, install Ceph packages, and gather keys, you
+may prepare the OSDs and deploy them to the OSD node(s). If you need to
+identify a disk or zap it prior to preparing it for use as an OSD,
+see `List Disks`_ and `Zap Disks`_. ::
+
+ ceph-deploy osd prepare {node-name}:{data-disk}[:{journal-disk}]
+ ceph-deploy osd prepare osdserver1:sdb:/dev/ssd
+ ceph-deploy osd prepare osdserver1:sdc:/dev/ssd
+
+The ``prepare`` command only prepares the OSD. On most operating
+systems, the ``activate`` phase will automatically run when the
+partitions are created on the disk (using Ceph ``udev`` rules). If not
+use the ``activate`` command. See `Activate OSDs`_ for
+details.
+
+The foregoing example assumes a disk dedicated to one Ceph OSD Daemon, and
+a path to an SSD journal partition. We recommend storing the journal on
+a separate drive to maximize throughput. You may dedicate a single drive
+for the journal too (which may be expensive) or place the journal on the
+same disk as the OSD (not recommended as it impairs performance). In the
+foregoing example we store the journal on a partitioned solid state drive.
+
+You can use the settings --fs-type or --bluestore to choose which file system
+you want to install in the OSD drive. (More information by running
+'ceph-deploy osd prepare --help').
+
+.. note:: When running multiple Ceph OSD daemons on a single node, and
+ sharing a partioned journal with each OSD daemon, you should consider
+ the entire node the minimum failure domain for CRUSH purposes, because
+ if the SSD drive fails, all of the Ceph OSD daemons that journal to it
+ will fail too.
+
+
+Activate OSDs
+=============
+
+Once you prepare an OSD you may activate it with the following command. ::
+
+ ceph-deploy osd activate {node-name}:{data-disk-partition}[:{journal-disk-partition}]
+ ceph-deploy osd activate osdserver1:/dev/sdb1:/dev/ssd1
+ ceph-deploy osd activate osdserver1:/dev/sdc1:/dev/ssd2
+
+The ``activate`` command will cause your OSD to come ``up`` and be placed
+``in`` the cluster. The ``activate`` command uses the path to the partition
+created when running the ``prepare`` command.
+
+
+Create OSDs
+===========
+
+You may prepare OSDs, deploy them to the OSD node(s) and activate them in one
+step with the ``create`` command. The ``create`` command is a convenience method
+for executing the ``prepare`` and ``activate`` command sequentially. ::
+
+ ceph-deploy osd create {node-name}:{disk}[:{path/to/journal}]
+ ceph-deploy osd create osdserver1:sdb:/dev/ssd1
+
+.. List OSDs
+.. =========
+
+.. To list the OSDs deployed on a node(s), execute the following command::
+
+.. ceph-deploy osd list {node-name}
+
+
+Destroy OSDs
+============
+
+.. note:: Coming soon. See `Remove OSDs`_ for manual procedures.
+
+.. To destroy an OSD, execute the following command::
+
+.. ceph-deploy osd destroy {node-name}:{path-to-disk}[:{path/to/journal}]
+
+.. Destroying an OSD will take it ``down`` and ``out`` of the cluster.

+ Ceph Deployment
+=================
+
+The ``ceph-deploy`` tool is a way to deploy Ceph relying only upon SSH access to
+the servers, ``sudo``, and some Python. It runs on your workstation, and does
+not require servers, databases, or any other tools. If you set up and
+tear down Ceph clusters a lot, and want minimal extra bureaucracy,
+``ceph-deploy`` is an ideal tool. The ``ceph-deploy`` tool is not a generic
+deployment system. It was designed exclusively for Ceph users who want to get
+Ceph up and running quickly with sensible initial configuration settings without
+the overhead of installing Chef, Puppet or Juju. Users who want fine-control
+over security settings, partitions or directory locations should use a tool
+such as Juju, Puppet, `Chef`_ or Crowbar.
+
+
+With ``ceph-deploy``, you can develop scripts to install Ceph packages on remote
+hosts, create a cluster, add monitors, gather (or forget) keys, add OSDs and
+metadata servers, configure admin hosts, and tear down the clusters.

+=====================
+ Preflight Checklist
+=====================
+
+.. versionadded:: 0.60
+
+This **Preflight Checklist** will help you prepare an admin node for use with
+``ceph-deploy``, and server nodes for use with passwordless ``ssh`` and
+``sudo``.
+
+Before you can deploy Ceph using ``ceph-deploy``, you need to ensure that you
+have a few things set up first on your admin node and on nodes running Ceph
+daemons.
+
+
+Install an Operating System
+===========================
+
+Install a recent release of Debian or Ubuntu (e.g., 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS) on
+your nodes. For additional details on operating systems or to use other
+operating systems other than Debian or Ubuntu, see `OS Recommendations`_.
+
+
+Install an SSH Server
+=====================
+
+The ``ceph-deploy`` utility requires ``ssh``, so your server node(s) require an
+SSH server. ::
+
+ sudo apt-get install openssh-server
+
+
+Create a User
+=============
+
+Create a user on nodes running Ceph daemons.
+
+.. tip:: We recommend a username that brute force attackers won't
+ guess easily (e.g., something other than ``root``, ``ceph``, etc).
+
+::
+
+ ssh user@ceph-server
+ sudo useradd -d /home/ceph -m ceph
+ sudo passwd ceph
+
+
+``ceph-deploy`` installs packages onto your nodes. This means that
+the user you create requires passwordless ``sudo`` privileges.
+
+.. note:: We **DO NOT** recommend enabling the ``root`` password
+ for security reasons.
+
+To provide full privileges to the user, add the following to
+``/etc/sudoers.d/ceph``. ::
+
+ echo "ceph ALL = (root) NOPASSWD:ALL" | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/ceph
+ sudo chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/ceph
+
+
+Configure SSH
+=============
+
+Configure your admin machine with password-less SSH access to each node
+running Ceph daemons (leave the passphrase empty). ::
+
+ ssh-keygen
+ Generating public/private key pair.
+ Enter file in which to save the key (/ceph-client/.ssh/id_rsa):
+ Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
+ Enter same passphrase again:
+ Your identification has been saved in /ceph-client/.ssh/id_rsa.
+ Your public key has been saved in /ceph-client/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
+
+Copy the key to each node running Ceph daemons::
+
+ ssh-copy-id ceph@ceph-server
+
+Modify your ~/.ssh/config file of your admin node so that it defaults
+to logging in as the user you created when no username is specified. ::
+
+ Host ceph-server
+ Hostname ceph-server.fqdn-or-ip-address.com
+ User ceph
+
+
+Install ceph-deploy
+===================

+Based upon :abbr:`RADOS (Reliable Autonomic Distributed Object Store)`, Ceph
+Storage Clusters consist of two types of daemons: a :term:`Ceph OSD Daemon`
+(OSD) stores data as objects on a storage node; and a :term:`Ceph Monitor` (MON)
+maintains a master copy of the cluster map. A Ceph Storage Cluster may contain
+thousands of storage nodes. A minimal system will have at least one
+Ceph Monitor and two Ceph OSD Daemons for data replication.

+==========================
+ Adding/Removing Monitors
+==========================
+
+When you have a cluster up and running, you may add or remove monitors
+from the cluster at runtime. To bootstrap a monitor, see `Manual Deployment`_
+or `Monitor Bootstrap`_.
+
+Adding Monitors
+===============
+
+Ceph monitors are light-weight processes that maintain a master copy of the
+cluster map. You can run a cluster with 1 monitor. We recommend at least 3
+monitors for a production cluster. Ceph monitors use a variation of the
+`Paxos`_ protocol to establish consensus about maps and other critical
+information across the cluster. Due to the nature of Paxos, Ceph requires
+a majority of monitors running to establish a quorum (thus establishing
+consensus).
+
+It is advisable to run an odd-number of monitors but not mandatory. An
+odd-number of monitors has a higher resiliency to failures than an
+even-number of monitors. For instance, on a 2 monitor deployment, no
+failures can be tolerated in order to maintain a quorum; with 3 monitors,
+one failure can be tolerated; in a 4 monitor deployment, one failure can
+be tolerated; with 5 monitors, two failures can be tolerated. This is
+why an odd-number is advisable. Summarizing, Ceph needs a majority of
+monitors to be running (and able to communicate with each other), but that
+majority can be achieved using a single monitor, or 2 out of 2 monitors,
+2 out of 3, 3 out of 4, etc.
+
+For an initial deployment of a multi-node Ceph cluster, it is advisable to
+deploy three monitors, increasing the number two at a time if a valid need
+for more than three exists.
+
+Since monitors are light-weight, it is possible to run them on the same
+host as an OSD; however, we recommend running them on separate hosts,
+because fsync issues with the kernel may impair performance.
+
+.. note:: A *majority* of monitors in your cluster must be able to
+ reach each other in order to establish a quorum.
+
+Deploy your Hardware
+--------------------
+
+If you are adding a new host when adding a new monitor, see `Hardware
+Recommendations`_ for details on minimum recommendations for monitor hardware.
+To add a monitor host to your cluster, first make sure you have an up-to-date
+version of Linux installed (typically Ubuntu 14.04 or RHEL 7).
+
+Add your monitor host to a rack in your cluster, connect it to the network
+and ensure that it has network connectivity.
+
+.. _Hardware Recommendations: ../../../start/hardware-recommendations
+
+Install the Required Software
+-----------------------------
+
+For manually deployed clusters, you must install Ceph packages
+manually. See `Installing Packages`_ for details.
+You should configure SSH to a user with password-less authentication
+and root permissions.
+
+.. _Installing Packages: ../../../install/install-storage-cluster
+
+
+.. _Adding a Monitor (Manual):
+
+Adding a Monitor (Manual)
+-------------------------
+
+This procedure creates a ``ceph-mon`` data directory, retrieves the monitor map
+and monitor keyring, and adds a ``ceph-mon`` daemon to your cluster. If
+this results in only two monitor daemons, you may add more monitors by
+repeating this procedure until you have a sufficient number of ``ceph-mon``
+daemons to achieve a quorum.
+
+At this point you should define your monitor's id. Traditionally, monitors
+have been named with single letters (``a``, ``b``, ``c``, ...), but you are
+free to define the id as you see fit. For the purpose of this document,
+please take into account that ``{mon-id}`` should be the id you chose,
+without the ``mon.`` prefix (i.e., ``{mon-id}`` should be the ``a``
+on ``mon.a``).
+
+#. Create the default directory on the machine that will host your
+ new monitor. ::
+
+ ssh {new-mon-host}
+ sudo mkdir /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-{mon-id}
+
+#. Create a temporary directory ``{tmp}`` to keep the files needed during
+ this process. This directory should be different from the monitor's default
+ directory created in the previous step, and can be removed after all the
+ steps are executed. ::
+
+ mkdir {tmp}
+
+#. Retrieve the keyring for your monitors, where ``{tmp}`` is the path to
+ the retrieved keyring, and ``{key-filename}`` is the name of the file
+ containing the retrieved monitor key. ::
+
+ ceph auth get mon. -o {tmp}/{key-filename}
+
+#. Retrieve the monitor map, where ``{tmp}`` is the path to
+ the retrieved monitor map, and ``{map-filename}`` is the name of the file
+ containing the retrieved monitor monitor map. ::
+
+ ceph mon getmap -o {tmp}/{map-filename}
+
+#. Prepare the monitor's data directory created in the first step. You must
+ specify the path to the monitor map so that you can retrieve the
+ information about a quorum of monitors and their ``fsid``. You must also
+ specify a path to the monitor keyring::
+
+ sudo ceph-mon -i {mon-id} --mkfs --monmap {tmp}/{map-filename} --keyring {tmp}/{key-filename}
+
+
+#. Start the new monitor and it will automatically join the cluster.
+ The daemon needs to know which address to bind to, either via
+ ``--public-addr {ip:port}`` or by setting ``mon addr`` in the
+ appropriate section of ``ceph.conf``. For example::
+
+ ceph-mon -i {mon-id} --public-addr {ip:port}
+
+
+Removing Monitors
+=================
+
+When you remove monitors from a cluster, consider that Ceph monitors use
+PAXOS to establish consensus about the master cluster map. You must have
+a sufficient number of monitors to establish a quorum for consensus about
+the cluster map.
+
+.. _Removing a Monitor (Manual):
+
+Removing a Monitor (Manual)
+---------------------------
+
+This procedure removes a ``ceph-mon`` daemon from your cluster. If this
+procedure results in only two monitor daemons, you may add or remove another
+monitor until you have a number of ``ceph-mon`` daemons that can achieve a
+quorum.
+
+#. Stop the monitor. ::
+
+ service ceph -a stop mon.{mon-id}
+
+#. Remove the monitor from the cluster. ::
+
+ ceph mon remove {mon-id}
+
+#. Remove the monitor entry from ``ceph.conf``.
+
+
+Removing Monitors from an Unhealthy Cluster
+-------------------------------------------
+
+This procedure removes a ``ceph-mon`` daemon from an unhealthy
+cluster, for example a cluster where the monitors cannot form a
+quorum.
+
+
+#. Stop all ``ceph-mon`` daemons on all monitor hosts. ::
+
+ ssh {mon-host}
+ service ceph stop mon || stop ceph-mon-all
+ # and repeat for all mons
+
+#. Identify a surviving monitor and log in to that host. ::
+
+ ssh {mon-host}
+
+#. Extract a copy of the monmap file. ::
+
+ ceph-mon -i {mon-id} --extract-monmap {map-path}
+ # in most cases, that's
+ ceph-mon -i `hostname` --extract-monmap /tmp/monmap
+
+#. Remove the non-surviving or problematic monitors. For example, if
+ you have three monitors, ``mon.a``, ``mon.b``, and ``mon.c``, where
+ only ``mon.a`` will survive, follow the example below::
+
+ monmaptool {map-path} --rm {mon-id}
+ # for example,
+ monmaptool /tmp/monmap --rm b
+ monmaptool /tmp/monmap --rm c
+
+#. Inject the surviving map with the removed monitors into the
+ surviving monitor(s). For example, to inject a map into monitor
+ ``mon.a``, follow the example below::
+
+ ceph-mon -i {mon-id} --inject-monmap {map-path}
+ # for example,
+ ceph-mon -i a --inject-monmap /tmp/monmap
+
+#. Start only the surviving monitors.
+
+#. Verify the monitors form a quorum (``ceph -s``).
+
+#. You may wish to archive the removed monitors' data directory in
+ ``/var/lib/ceph/mon`` in a safe location, or delete it if you are
+ confident the remaining monitors are healthy and are sufficiently
+ redundant.
+
+.. _Changing a Monitor's IP address:
+
+Changing a Monitor's IP Address
+===============================
+
+.. important:: Existing monitors are not supposed to change their IP addresses.
+
+Monitors are critical components of a Ceph cluster, and they need to maintain a
+quorum for the whole system to work properly. To establish a quorum, the
+monitors need to discover each other. Ceph has strict requirements for
+discovering monitors.
+
+Ceph clients and other Ceph daemons use ``ceph.conf`` to discover monitors.
+However, monitors discover each other using the monitor map, not ``ceph.conf``.
+For example, if you refer to `Adding a Monitor (Manual)`_ you will see that you
+need to obtain the current monmap for the cluster when creating a new monitor,
+as it is one of the required arguments of ``ceph-mon -i {mon-id} --mkfs``. The
+following sections explain the consistency requirements for Ceph monitors, and a
+few safe ways to change a monitor's IP address.
+
+
+Consistency Requirements
+------------------------
+
+A monitor always refers to the local copy of the monmap when discovering other
+monitors in the cluster. Using the monmap instead of ``ceph.conf`` avoids
+errors that could break the cluster (e.g., typos in ``ceph.conf`` when
+specifying a monitor address or port). Since monitors use monmaps for discovery
+and they share monmaps with clients and other Ceph daemons, the monmap provides
+monitors with a strict guarantee that their consensus is valid.
+
+Strict consistency also applies to updates to the monmap. As with any other
+updates on the monitor, changes to the monmap always run through a distributed
+consensus algorithm called `Paxos`_. The monitors must agree on each update to
+the monmap, such as adding or removing a monitor, to ensure that each monitor in
+the quorum has the same version of the monmap. Updates to the monmap are
+incremental so that monitors have the latest agreed upon version, and a set of
+previous versions, allowing a monitor that has an older version of the monmap to
+catch up with the current state of the cluster.
+
+If monitors discovered each other through the Ceph configuration file instead of
+through the monmap, it would introduce additional risks because the Ceph
+configuration files are not updated and distributed automatically. Monitors
+might inadvertently use an older ``ceph.conf`` file, fail to recognize a
+monitor, fall out of a quorum, or develop a situation where `Paxos`_ is not able
+to determine the current state of the system accurately. Consequently, making
+changes to an existing monitor's IP address must be done with great care.
+
+
+Changing a Monitor's IP address (The Right Way)
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+Changing a monitor's IP address in ``ceph.conf`` only is not sufficient to
+ensure that other monitors in the cluster will receive the update. To change a
+monitor's IP address, you must add a new monitor with the IP address you want
+to use (as described in `Adding a Monitor (Manual)`_), ensure that the new
+monitor successfully joins the quorum; then, remove the monitor that uses the
+old IP address. Then, update the ``ceph.conf`` file to ensure that clients and
+other daemons know the IP address of the new monitor.
+
+For example, lets assume there are three monitors in place, such as ::
+
+ [mon.a]
+ host = host01
+ addr = 10.0.0.1:6789
+ [mon.b]
+ host = host02
+ addr = 10.0.0.2:6789
+ [mon.c]
+ host = host03
+ addr = 10.0.0.3:6789
+
+To change ``mon.c`` to ``host04`` with the IP address ``10.0.0.4``, follow the
+steps in `Adding a Monitor (Manual)`_ by adding a new monitor ``mon.d``. Ensure
+that ``mon.d`` is running before removing ``mon.c``, or it will break the
+quorum. Remove ``mon.c`` as described on `Removing a Monitor (Manual)`_. Moving
+all three monitors would thus require repeating this process as many times as
+needed.
+
+
+Changing a Monitor's IP address (The Messy Way)
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+There may come a time when the monitors must be moved to a different network, a
+different part of the datacenter or a different datacenter altogether. While it
+is possible to do it, the process becomes a bit more hazardous.
+
+In such a case, the solution is to generate a new monmap with updated IP
+addresses for all the monitors in the cluster, and inject the new map on each
+individual monitor. This is not the most user-friendly approach, but we do not
+expect this to be something that needs to be done every other week. As it is
+clearly stated on the top of this section, monitors are not supposed to change
+IP addresses.
+
+Using the previous monitor configuration as an example, assume you want to move
+all the monitors from the ``10.0.0.x`` range to ``10.1.0.x``, and these
+networks are unable to communicate. Use the following procedure:
+
+#. Retrieve the monitor map, where ``{tmp}`` is the path to
+ the retrieved monitor map, and ``{filename}`` is the name of the file
+ containing the retrieved monitor monitor map. ::
+
+ ceph mon getmap -o {tmp}/{filename}
+
+#. The following example demonstrates the contents of the monmap. ::
+
+ $ monmaptool --print {tmp}/{filename}
+
+ monmaptool: monmap file {tmp}/{filename}
+ epoch 1
+ fsid 224e376d-c5fe-4504-96bb-ea6332a19e61

+ 1: 10.0.0.2:6789/0 mon.b
+ 2: 10.0.0.3:6789/0 mon.c
+
+#. Remove the existing monitors. ::
+
+ $ monmaptool --rm a --rm b --rm c {tmp}/{filename}
+
+ monmaptool: monmap file {tmp}/{filename}
+ monmaptool: removing a
+ monmaptool: removing b
+ monmaptool: removing c
+ monmaptool: writing epoch 1 to {tmp}/{filename} (0 monitors)
+
+#. Add the new monitor locations. ::
+
+ $ monmaptool --add a 10.1.0.1:6789 --add b 10.1.0.2:6789 --add c 10.1.0.3:6789 {tmp}/{filename}
+
+ monmaptool: monmap file {tmp}/{filename}
+ monmaptool: writing epoch 1 to {tmp}/{filename} (3 monitors)
+
+#. Check new contents. ::
+
+ $ monmaptool --print {tmp}/{filename}
+
+ monmaptool: monmap file {tmp}/{filename}
+ epoch 1
+ fsid 224e376d-c5fe-4504-96bb-ea6332a19e61

+ 1: 10.1.0.2:6789/0 mon.b
+ 2: 10.1.0.3:6789/0 mon.c
+
+At this point, we assume the monitors (and stores) are installed at the new
+location. The next step is to propagate the modified monmap to the new
+monitors, and inject the modified monmap into each new monitor.
+
+#. First, make sure to stop all your monitors. Injection must be done while
+ the daemon is not running.
+
+#. Inject the monmap. ::
+
+ ceph-mon -i {mon-id} --inject-monmap {tmp}/{filename}
+
+#. Restart the monitors.
+
+After this step, migration to the new location is complete and
+the monitors should operate successfully.

+======================
+ Adding/Removing OSDs
+======================
+
+When you have a cluster up and running, you may add OSDs or remove OSDs
+from the cluster at runtime.
+
+Adding OSDs
+===========
+
+When you want to expand a cluster, you may add an OSD at runtime. With Ceph, an
+OSD is generally one Ceph ``ceph-osd`` daemon for one storage drive within a
+host machine. If your host has multiple storage drives, you may map one
+``ceph-osd`` daemon for each drive.
+
+Generally, it's a good idea to check the capacity of your cluster to see if you
+are reaching the upper end of its capacity. As your cluster reaches its ``near
+full`` ratio, you should add one or more OSDs to expand your cluster's capacity.
+
+.. warning:: Do not let your cluster reach its ``full ratio`` before
+ adding an OSD. OSD failures that occur after the cluster reaches
+ its ``near full`` ratio may cause the cluster to exceed its
+ ``full ratio``.
+
+Deploy your Hardware
+--------------------
+
+If you are adding a new host when adding a new OSD, see `Hardware
+Recommendations`_ for details on minimum recommendations for OSD hardware. To
+add an OSD host to your cluster, first make sure you have an up-to-date version
+of Linux installed, and you have made some initial preparations for your
+storage drives. See `Filesystem Recommendations`_ for details.
+
+Add your OSD host to a rack in your cluster, connect it to the network
+and ensure that it has network connectivity. See the `Network Configuration
+Reference`_ for details.
+
+.. _Hardware Recommendations: ../../../start/hardware-recommendations
+.. _Filesystem Recommendations: ../../configuration/filesystem-recommendations
+.. _Network Configuration Reference: ../../configuration/network-config-ref
+
+Install the Required Software
+-----------------------------
+
+For manually deployed clusters, you must install Ceph packages
+manually. See `Installing Ceph (Manual)`_ for details.
+You should configure SSH to a user with password-less authentication
+and root permissions.
+
+.. _Installing Ceph (Manual): ../../../install
+
+
+Adding an OSD (Manual)
+----------------------
+
+This procedure sets up a ``ceph-osd`` daemon, configures it to use one drive,
+and configures the cluster to distribute data to the OSD. If your host has
+multiple drives, you may add an OSD for each drive by repeating this procedure.
+
+To add an OSD, create a data directory for it, mount a drive to that directory,
+add the OSD to the cluster, and then add it to the CRUSH map.
+
+When you add the OSD to the CRUSH map, consider the weight you give to the new
+OSD. Hard drive capacity grows 40% per year, so newer OSD hosts may have larger
+hard drives than older hosts in the cluster (i.e., they may have greater
+weight).
+
+.. tip:: Ceph prefers uniform hardware across pools. If you are adding drives
+ of dissimilar size, you can adjust their weights. However, for best
+ performance, consider a CRUSH hierarchy with drives of the same type/size.
+
+#. Create the OSD. If no UUID is given, it will be set automatically when the
+ OSD starts up. The following command will output the OSD number, which you
+ will need for subsequent steps. ::
+
+ ceph osd create [{uuid} [{id}]]
+
+ If the optional parameter {id} is given it will be used as the OSD id.
+ Note, in this case the command may fail if the number is already in use.
+
+ .. warning:: In general, explicitly specifying {id} is not recommended.
+ IDs are allocated as an array, and skipping entries consumes some extra
+ memory. This can become significant if there are large gaps and/or
+ clusters are large. If {id} is not specified, the smallest available is
+ used.
+
+#. Create the default directory on your new OSD. ::
+
+ ssh {new-osd-host}
+ sudo mkdir /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-{osd-number}
+
+
+#. If the OSD is for a drive other than the OS drive, prepare it
+ for use with Ceph, and mount it to the directory you just created::
+
+ ssh {new-osd-host}
+ sudo mkfs -t {fstype} /dev/{drive}
+ sudo mount -o user_xattr /dev/{hdd} /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-{osd-number}
+
+
+#. Initialize the OSD data directory. ::
+
+ ssh {new-osd-host}
+ ceph-osd -i {osd-num} --mkfs --mkkey
+
+ The directory must be empty before you can run ``ceph-osd``.
+
+#. Register the OSD authentication key. The value of ``ceph`` for
+ ``ceph-{osd-num}`` in the path is the ``$cluster-$id``. If your
+ cluster name differs from ``ceph``, use your cluster name instead.::
+
+ ceph auth add osd.{osd-num} osd 'allow *' mon 'allow rwx' -i /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-{osd-num}/keyring
+
+
+#. Add the OSD to the CRUSH map so that the OSD can begin receiving data. The
+ ``ceph osd crush add`` command allows you to add OSDs to the CRUSH hierarchy
+ wherever you wish. If you specify at least one bucket, the command
+ will place the OSD into the most specific bucket you specify, *and* it will
+ move that bucket underneath any other buckets you specify. **Important:** If
+ you specify only the root bucket, the command will attach the OSD directly
+ to the root, but CRUSH rules expect OSDs to be inside of hosts.
+
+ For Argonaut (v 0.48), execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd crush add {id} {name} {weight} [{bucket-type}={bucket-name} ...]
+
+ For Bobtail (v 0.56) and later releases, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd crush add {id-or-name} {weight} [{bucket-type}={bucket-name} ...]
+
+ You may also decompile the CRUSH map, add the OSD to the device list, add the
+ host as a bucket (if it's not already in the CRUSH map), add the device as an
+ item in the host, assign it a weight, recompile it and set it. See
+ `Add/Move an OSD`_ for details.
+
+
+.. topic:: Argonaut (v0.48) Best Practices
+
+ To limit impact on user I/O performance, add an OSD to the CRUSH map
+ with an initial weight of ``0``. Then, ramp up the CRUSH weight a
+ little bit at a time. For example, to ramp by increments of ``0.2``,
+ start with::
+
+ ceph osd crush reweight {osd-id} .2
+
+ and allow migration to complete before reweighting to ``0.4``,
+ ``0.6``, and so on until the desired CRUSH weight is reached.
+
+ To limit the impact of OSD failures, you can set::
+
+ mon osd down out interval = 0
+
+ which prevents down OSDs from automatically being marked out, and then
+ ramp them down manually with::
+
+ ceph osd reweight {osd-num} .8
+
+ Again, wait for the cluster to finish migrating data, and then adjust
+ the weight further until you reach a weight of 0. Note that this
+ problem prevents the cluster to automatically re-replicate data after
+ a failure, so please ensure that sufficient monitoring is in place for
+ an administrator to intervene promptly.
+
+ Note that this practice will no longer be necessary in Bobtail and
+ subsequent releases.
+
+
+Replacing an OSD
+----------------
+
+When disks fail, or if an admnistrator wants to reprovision OSDs with a new
+backend, for instance, for switching from FileStore to BlueStore, OSDs need to
+be replaced. Unlike `Removing the OSD`_, replaced OSD's id and CRUSH map entry
+need to be keep intact after the OSD is destroyed for replacement.
+
+#. Destroy the OSD first::
+
+ ceph osd destroy {id} --yes-i-really-mean-it
+
+#. Zap a disk for the new OSD, if the disk was used before for other purposes.
+ It's not necessary for a new disk::
+
+ ceph-disk zap /dev/sdX
+
+#. Prepare the disk for replacement by using the previously destroyed OSD id::
+
+ ceph-disk prepare --bluestore /dev/sdX --osd-id {id} --osd-uuid `uuidgen`
+
+#. And activate the OSD::
+
+ ceph-disk activate /dev/sdX1
+
+
+Starting the OSD
+----------------
+
+After you add an OSD to Ceph, the OSD is in your configuration. However,
+it is not yet running. The OSD is ``down`` and ``in``. You must start
+your new OSD before it can begin receiving data. You may use
+``service ceph`` from your admin host or start the OSD from its host
+machine.
+
+For Ubuntu Trusty use Upstart. ::
+
+ sudo start ceph-osd id={osd-num}
+
+For all other distros use systemd. ::
+
+ sudo systemctl start ceph-osd@{osd-num}
+
+
+Once you start your OSD, it is ``up`` and ``in``.
+
+
+Observe the Data Migration
+--------------------------
+
+Once you have added your new OSD to the CRUSH map, Ceph will begin rebalancing
+the server by migrating placement groups to your new OSD. You can observe this
+process with the `ceph`_ tool. ::
+
+ ceph -w
+
+You should see the placement group states change from ``active+clean`` to
+``active, some degraded objects``, and finally ``active+clean`` when migration
+completes. (Control-c to exit.)
+
+
+.. _Add/Move an OSD: ../crush-map#addosd
+.. _ceph: ../monitoring
+
+
+
+Removing OSDs (Manual)
+======================
+
+When you want to reduce the size of a cluster or replace hardware, you may
+remove an OSD at runtime. With Ceph, an OSD is generally one Ceph ``ceph-osd``
+daemon for one storage drive within a host machine. If your host has multiple
+storage drives, you may need to remove one ``ceph-osd`` daemon for each drive.
+Generally, it's a good idea to check the capacity of your cluster to see if you
+are reaching the upper end of its capacity. Ensure that when you remove an OSD
+that your cluster is not at its ``near full`` ratio.
+
+.. warning:: Do not let your cluster reach its ``full ratio`` when
+ removing an OSD. Removing OSDs could cause the cluster to reach
+ or exceed its ``full ratio``.
+
+
+Take the OSD out of the Cluster
+-----------------------------------
+
+Before you remove an OSD, it is usually ``up`` and ``in``. You need to take it
+out of the cluster so that Ceph can begin rebalancing and copying its data to
+other OSDs. ::
+
+ ceph osd out {osd-num}
+
+
+Observe the Data Migration
+--------------------------
+
+Once you have taken your OSD ``out`` of the cluster, Ceph will begin
+rebalancing the cluster by migrating placement groups out of the OSD you
+removed. You can observe this process with the `ceph`_ tool. ::
+
+ ceph -w
+
+You should see the placement group states change from ``active+clean`` to
+``active, some degraded objects``, and finally ``active+clean`` when migration
+completes. (Control-c to exit.)
+
+.. note:: Sometimes, typically in a "small" cluster with few hosts (for
+ instance with a small testing cluster), the fact to take ``out`` the
+ OSD can spawn a CRUSH corner case where some PGs remain stuck in the
+ ``active+remapped`` state. If you are in this case, you should mark
+ the OSD ``in`` with:
+
+ ``ceph osd in {osd-num}``
+
+ to come back to the initial state and then, instead of marking ``out``
+ the OSD, set its weight to 0 with:
+
+ ``ceph osd crush reweight osd.{osd-num} 0``
+
+ After that, you can observe the data migration which should come to its
+ end. The difference between marking ``out`` the OSD and reweighting it
+ to 0 is that in the first case the weight of the bucket which contains
+ the OSD is not changed whereas in the second case the weight of the bucket
+ is updated (and decreased of the OSD weight). The reweight command could
+ be sometimes favoured in the case of a "small" cluster.
+
+
+
+Stopping the OSD
+----------------
+
+After you take an OSD out of the cluster, it may still be running.
+That is, the OSD may be ``up`` and ``out``. You must stop
+your OSD before you remove it from the configuration. ::
+
+ ssh {osd-host}
+ sudo systemctl stop ceph-osd@{osd-num}
+
+Once you stop your OSD, it is ``down``.
+
+
+Removing the OSD
+----------------
+
+This procedure removes an OSD from a cluster map, removes its authentication
+key, removes the OSD from the OSD map, and removes the OSD from the
+``ceph.conf`` file. If your host has multiple drives, you may need to remove an
+OSD for each drive by repeating this procedure.
+
+#. Let the cluster forget the OSD first. This step removes the OSD from the CRUSH
+ map, removes its authentication key. And it is removed from the OSD map as
+ well. Please note the `purge subcommand`_ is introduced in Luminous, for older
+ versions, please see below ::
+
+ ceph osd purge {id} --yes-i-really-mean-it
+
+#. Navigate to the host where you keep the master copy of the cluster's
+ ``ceph.conf`` file. ::
+
+ ssh {admin-host}
+ cd /etc/ceph
+ vim ceph.conf
+
+#. Remove the OSD entry from your ``ceph.conf`` file (if it exists). ::
+
+ [osd.1]
+ host = {hostname}
+
+#. From the host where you keep the master copy of the cluster's ``ceph.conf`` file,
+ copy the updated ``ceph.conf`` file to the ``/etc/ceph`` directory of other
+ hosts in your cluster.
+
+If your Ceph cluster is older than Luminous, instead of using ``ceph osd purge``,
+you need to perform this step manually:
+
+
+#. Remove the OSD from the CRUSH map so that it no longer receives data. You may
+ also decompile the CRUSH map, remove the OSD from the device list, remove the
+ device as an item in the host bucket or remove the host bucket (if it's in the
+ CRUSH map and you intend to remove the host), recompile the map and set it.
+ See `Remove an OSD`_ for details. ::
+
+ ceph osd crush remove {name}
+
+#. Remove the OSD authentication key. ::
+
+ ceph auth del osd.{osd-num}
+
+ The value of ``ceph`` for ``ceph-{osd-num}`` in the path is the ``$cluster-$id``.
+ If your cluster name differs from ``ceph``, use your cluster name instead.
+
+#. Remove the OSD. ::
+
+ ceph osd rm {osd-num}
+ #for example
+ ceph osd rm 1
+

+===============
+ Cache Tiering
+===============
+
+A cache tier provides Ceph Clients with better I/O performance for a subset of
+the data stored in a backing storage tier. Cache tiering involves creating a
+pool of relatively fast/expensive storage devices (e.g., solid state drives)
+configured to act as a cache tier, and a backing pool of either erasure-coded
+or relatively slower/cheaper devices configured to act as an economical storage
+tier. The Ceph objecter handles where to place the objects and the tiering
+agent determines when to flush objects from the cache to the backing storage
+tier. So the cache tier and the backing storage tier are completely transparent
+to Ceph clients.
+
+
+.. ditaa::
+ +-------------+
+ | Ceph Client |
+ +------+------+
+ ^
+ Tiering is |
+ Transparent | Faster I/O
+ to Ceph | +---------------+
+ Client Ops | | |
+ | +----->+ Cache Tier |
+ | | | |
+ | | +-----+---+-----+
+ | | | ^
+ v v | | Active Data in Cache Tier
+ +------+----+--+ | |
+ | Objecter | | |
+ +-----------+--+ | |
+ ^ | | Inactive Data in Storage Tier
+ | v |
+ | +-----+---+-----+
+ | | |
+ +----->| Storage Tier |
+ | |
+ +---------------+
+ Slower I/O
+
+
+The cache tiering agent handles the migration of data between the cache tier
+and the backing storage tier automatically. However, admins have the ability to
+configure how this migration takes place. There are two main scenarios:
+
+- **Writeback Mode:** When admins configure tiers with ``writeback`` mode, Ceph
+ clients write data to the cache tier and receive an ACK from the cache tier.
+ In time, the data written to the cache tier migrates to the storage tier
+ and gets flushed from the cache tier. Conceptually, the cache tier is
+ overlaid "in front" of the backing storage tier. When a Ceph client needs
+ data that resides in the storage tier, the cache tiering agent migrates the
+ data to the cache tier on read, then it is sent to the Ceph client.
+ Thereafter, the Ceph client can perform I/O using the cache tier, until the
+ data becomes inactive. This is ideal for mutable data (e.g., photo/video
+ editing, transactional data, etc.).
+
+- **Read-proxy Mode:** This mode will use any objects that already
+ exist in the cache tier, but if an object is not present in the
+ cache the request will be proxied to the base tier. This is useful
+ for transitioning from ``writeback`` mode to a disabled cache as it
+ allows the workload to function properly while the cache is drained,
+ without adding any new objects to the cache.
+
+A word of caution
+=================
+
+Cache tiering will *degrade* performance for most workloads. Users should use
+extreme caution before using this feature.
+
+* *Workload dependent*: Whether a cache will improve performance is
+ highly dependent on the workload. Because there is a cost
+ associated with moving objects into or out of the cache, it can only
+ be effective when there is a *large skew* in the access pattern in
+ the data set, such that most of the requests touch a small number of
+ objects. The cache pool should be large enough to capture the
+ working set for your workload to avoid thrashing.
+
+* *Difficult to benchmark*: Most benchmarks that users run to measure
+ performance will show terrible performance with cache tiering, in
+ part because very few of them skew requests toward a small set of
+ objects, it can take a long time for the cache to "warm up," and
+ because the warm-up cost can be high.
+
+* *Usually slower*: For workloads that are not cache tiering-friendly,
+ performance is often slower than a normal RADOS pool without cache
+ tiering enabled.
+
+* *librados object enumeration*: The librados-level object enumeration
+ API is not meant to be coherent in the presence of the case. If
+ your applicatoin is using librados directly and relies on object
+ enumeration, cache tiering will probably not work as expected.
+ (This is not a problem for RGW, RBD, or CephFS.)
+
+* *Complexity*: Enabling cache tiering means that a lot of additional
+ machinery and complexity within the RADOS cluster is being used.
+ This increases the probability that you will encounter a bug in the system
+ that other users have not yet encountered and will put your deployment at a
+ higher level of risk.
+
+Known Good Workloads
+--------------------
+
+* *RGW time-skewed*: If the RGW workload is such that almost all read
+ operations are directed at recently written objects, a simple cache
+ tiering configuration that destages recently written objects from
+ the cache to the base tier after a configurable period can work
+ well.
+
+Known Bad Workloads
+-------------------
+
+The following configurations are *known to work poorly* with cache
+tiering.
+
+* *RBD with replicated cache and erasure-coded base*: This is a common
+ request, but usually does not perform well. Even reasonably skewed
+ workloads still send some small writes to cold objects, and because
+ small writes are not yet supported by the erasure-coded pool, entire
+ (usually 4 MB) objects must be migrated into the cache in order to
+ satisfy a small (often 4 KB) write. Only a handful of users have
+ successfully deployed this configuration, and it only works for them
+ because their data is extremely cold (backups) and they are not in
+ any way sensitive to performance.
+
+* *RBD with replicated cache and base*: RBD with a replicated base
+ tier does better than when the base is erasure coded, but it is
+ still highly dependent on the amount of skew in the workload, and
+ very difficult to validate. The user will need to have a good
+ understanding of their workload and will need to tune the cache
+ tiering parameters carefully.
+
+
+Setting Up Pools
+================
+
+To set up cache tiering, you must have two pools. One will act as the
+backing storage and the other will act as the cache.
+
+
+Setting Up a Backing Storage Pool
+---------------------------------
+
+Setting up a backing storage pool typically involves one of two scenarios:
+
+- **Standard Storage**: In this scenario, the pool stores multiple copies
+ of an object in the Ceph Storage Cluster.
+
+- **Erasure Coding:** In this scenario, the pool uses erasure coding to
+ store data much more efficiently with a small performance tradeoff.
+
+In the standard storage scenario, you can setup a CRUSH ruleset to establish
+the failure domain (e.g., osd, host, chassis, rack, row, etc.). Ceph OSD
+Daemons perform optimally when all storage drives in the ruleset are of the
+same size, speed (both RPMs and throughput) and type. See `CRUSH Maps`_
+for details on creating a ruleset. Once you have created a ruleset, create
+a backing storage pool.
+
+In the erasure coding scenario, the pool creation arguments will generate the
+appropriate ruleset automatically. See `Create a Pool`_ for details.
+
+In subsequent examples, we will refer to the backing storage pool
+as ``cold-storage``.
+
+
+Setting Up a Cache Pool
+-----------------------
+
+Setting up a cache pool follows the same procedure as the standard storage
+scenario, but with this difference: the drives for the cache tier are typically
+high performance drives that reside in their own servers and have their own
+ruleset. When setting up a ruleset, it should take account of the hosts that
+have the high performance drives while omitting the hosts that don't. See
+`Placing Different Pools on Different OSDs`_ for details.
+
+
+In subsequent examples, we will refer to the cache pool as ``hot-storage`` and
+the backing pool as ``cold-storage``.
+
+For cache tier configuration and default values, see
+`Pools - Set Pool Values`_.
+
+
+Creating a Cache Tier
+=====================
+
+Setting up a cache tier involves associating a backing storage pool with
+a cache pool ::
+
+ ceph osd tier add {storagepool} {cachepool}
+
+For example ::
+
+ ceph osd tier add cold-storage hot-storage
+
+To set the cache mode, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd tier cache-mode {cachepool} {cache-mode}
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph osd tier cache-mode hot-storage writeback
+
+The cache tiers overlay the backing storage tier, so they require one
+additional step: you must direct all client traffic from the storage pool to
+the cache pool. To direct client traffic directly to the cache pool, execute
+the following::
+
+ ceph osd tier set-overlay {storagepool} {cachepool}
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph osd tier set-overlay cold-storage hot-storage
+
+
+Configuring a Cache Tier
+========================
+
+Cache tiers have several configuration options. You may set
+cache tier configuration options with the following usage::
+
+ ceph osd pool set {cachepool} {key} {value}
+
+See `Pools - Set Pool Values`_ for details.
+
+
+Target Size and Type
+--------------------
+
+Ceph's production cache tiers use a `Bloom Filter`_ for the ``hit_set_type``::
+
+ ceph osd pool set {cachepool} hit_set_type bloom
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph osd pool set hot-storage hit_set_type bloom
+
+The ``hit_set_count`` and ``hit_set_period`` define how much time each HitSet
+should cover, and how many such HitSets to store. ::
+
+ ceph osd pool set {cachepool} hit_set_count 12
+ ceph osd pool set {cachepool} hit_set_period 14400
+ ceph osd pool set {cachepool} target_max_bytes 1000000000000
+
+.. note:: A larger ``hit_set_count`` results in more RAM consumed by
+ the ``ceph-osd`` process.
+
+Binning accesses over time allows Ceph to determine whether a Ceph client
+accessed an object at least once, or more than once over a time period
+("age" vs "temperature").
+
+The ``min_read_recency_for_promote`` defines how many HitSets to check for the
+existence of an object when handling a read operation. The checking result is
+used to decide whether to promote the object asynchronously. Its value should be
+between 0 and ``hit_set_count``. If it's set to 0, the object is always promoted.
+If it's set to 1, the current HitSet is checked. And if this object is in the
+current HitSet, it's promoted. Otherwise not. For the other values, the exact
+number of archive HitSets are checked. The object is promoted if the object is
+found in any of the most recent ``min_read_recency_for_promote`` HitSets.
+
+A similar parameter can be set for the write operation, which is
+``min_write_recency_for_promote``. ::
+
+ ceph osd pool set {cachepool} min_read_recency_for_promote 2
+ ceph osd pool set {cachepool} min_write_recency_for_promote 2
+
+.. note:: The longer the period and the higher the
+ ``min_read_recency_for_promote`` and
+ ``min_write_recency_for_promote``values, the more RAM the ``ceph-osd``
+ daemon consumes. In particular, when the agent is active to flush
+ or evict cache objects, all ``hit_set_count`` HitSets are loaded
+ into RAM.
+
+
+Cache Sizing
+------------
+
+The cache tiering agent performs two main functions:
+
+- **Flushing:** The agent identifies modified (or dirty) objects and forwards
+ them to the storage pool for long-term storage.
+
+- **Evicting:** The agent identifies objects that haven't been modified
+ (or clean) and evicts the least recently used among them from the cache.
+
+
+Absolute Sizing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The cache tiering agent can flush or evict objects based upon the total number
+of bytes or the total number of objects. To specify a maximum number of bytes,
+execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd pool set {cachepool} target_max_bytes {#bytes}
+
+For example, to flush or evict at 1 TB, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd pool set hot-storage target_max_bytes 1099511627776
+
+
+To specify the maximum number of objects, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd pool set {cachepool} target_max_objects {#objects}
+
+For example, to flush or evict at 1M objects, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd pool set hot-storage target_max_objects 1000000
+
+.. note:: Ceph is not able to determine the size of a cache pool automatically, so
+ the configuration on the absolute size is required here, otherwise the
+ flush/evict will not work. If you specify both limits, the cache tiering
+ agent will begin flushing or evicting when either threshold is triggered.
+
+.. note:: All client requests will be blocked only when ``target_max_bytes`` or
+ ``target_max_objects`` reached
+
+Relative Sizing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The cache tiering agent can flush or evict objects relative to the size of the
+cache pool(specified by ``target_max_bytes`` / ``target_max_objects`` in
+`Absolute sizing`_). When the cache pool consists of a certain percentage of
+modified (or dirty) objects, the cache tiering agent will flush them to the
+storage pool. To set the ``cache_target_dirty_ratio``, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd pool set {cachepool} cache_target_dirty_ratio {0.0..1.0}
+
+For example, setting the value to ``0.4`` will begin flushing modified
+(dirty) objects when they reach 40% of the cache pool's capacity::
+
+ ceph osd pool set hot-storage cache_target_dirty_ratio 0.4
+
+When the dirty objects reaches a certain percentage of its capacity, flush dirty
+objects with a higher speed. To set the ``cache_target_dirty_high_ratio``::
+
+ ceph osd pool set {cachepool} cache_target_dirty_high_ratio {0.0..1.0}
+
+For example, setting the value to ``0.6`` will begin aggressively flush dirty objects
+when they reach 60% of the cache pool's capacity. obviously, we'd better set the value
+between dirty_ratio and full_ratio::
+
+ ceph osd pool set hot-storage cache_target_dirty_high_ratio 0.6
+
+When the cache pool reaches a certain percentage of its capacity, the cache
+tiering agent will evict objects to maintain free capacity. To set the
+``cache_target_full_ratio``, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd pool set {cachepool} cache_target_full_ratio {0.0..1.0}
+
+For example, setting the value to ``0.8`` will begin flushing unmodified
+(clean) objects when they reach 80% of the cache pool's capacity::
+
+ ceph osd pool set hot-storage cache_target_full_ratio 0.8
+
+
+Cache Age
+---------
+
+You can specify the minimum age of an object before the cache tiering agent
+flushes a recently modified (or dirty) object to the backing storage pool::
+
+ ceph osd pool set {cachepool} cache_min_flush_age {#seconds}
+
+For example, to flush modified (or dirty) objects after 10 minutes, execute
+the following::
+
+ ceph osd pool set hot-storage cache_min_flush_age 600
+
+You can specify the minimum age of an object before it will be evicted from
+the cache tier::
+
+ ceph osd pool {cache-tier} cache_min_evict_age {#seconds}
+
+For example, to evict objects after 30 minutes, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd pool set hot-storage cache_min_evict_age 1800
+
+
+Removing a Cache Tier
+=====================
+
+Removing a cache tier differs depending on whether it is a writeback
+cache or a read-only cache.
+
+
+Removing a Read-Only Cache
+--------------------------
+
+Since a read-only cache does not have modified data, you can disable
+and remove it without losing any recent changes to objects in the cache.
+
+#. Change the cache-mode to ``none`` to disable it. ::
+
+ ceph osd tier cache-mode {cachepool} none
+
+ For example::
+
+ ceph osd tier cache-mode hot-storage none
+
+#. Remove the cache pool from the backing pool. ::
+
+ ceph osd tier remove {storagepool} {cachepool}
+
+ For example::
+
+ ceph osd tier remove cold-storage hot-storage
+
+
+
+Removing a Writeback Cache
+--------------------------
+
+Since a writeback cache may have modified data, you must take steps to ensure
+that you do not lose any recent changes to objects in the cache before you
+disable and remove it.
+
+
+#. Change the cache mode to ``forward`` so that new and modified objects will
+ flush to the backing storage pool. ::
+
+ ceph osd tier cache-mode {cachepool} forward
+
+ For example::
+
+ ceph osd tier cache-mode hot-storage forward
+
+
+#. Ensure that the cache pool has been flushed. This may take a few minutes::
+
+ rados -p {cachepool} ls
+
+ If the cache pool still has objects, you can flush them manually.
+ For example::
+
+ rados -p {cachepool} cache-flush-evict-all
+
+
+#. Remove the overlay so that clients will not direct traffic to the cache. ::
+
+ ceph osd tier remove-overlay {storagetier}
+
+ For example::
+
+ ceph osd tier remove-overlay cold-storage
+
+
+#. Finally, remove the cache tier pool from the backing storage pool. ::
+
+ ceph osd tier remove {storagepool} {cachepool}
+
+ For example::
+
+ ceph osd tier remove cold-storage hot-storage

+
+Placement Group Subsystem
+=========================
+
+To display the statistics for all placement groups, execute the following::
+
+ ceph pg dump [--format {format}]
+
+The valid formats are ``plain`` (default) and ``json``.
+
+To display the statistics for all placement groups stuck in a specified state,
+execute the following::
+
+ ceph pg dump_stuck inactive|unclean|stale|undersized|degraded [--format {format}] [-t|--threshold {seconds}]
+
+
+``--format`` may be ``plain`` (default) or ``json``
+
+``--threshold`` defines how many seconds "stuck" is (default: 300)
+
+**Inactive** Placement groups cannot process reads or writes because they are waiting for an OSD
+with the most up-to-date data to come back.
+
+**Unclean** Placement groups contain objects that are not replicated the desired number
+of times. They should be recovering.
+
+**Stale** Placement groups are in an unknown state - the OSDs that host them have not
+reported to the monitor cluster in a while (configured by
+``mon_osd_report_timeout``).
+
+Delete "lost" objects or revert them to their prior state, either a previous version
+or delete them if they were just created. ::
+
+ ceph pg {pgid} mark_unfound_lost revert|delete
+
+
+OSD Subsystem
+=============
+
+Query OSD subsystem status. ::
+
+ ceph osd stat
+
+Write a copy of the most recent OSD map to a file. See
+`osdmaptool`_. ::
+
+ ceph osd getmap -o file
+
+.. _osdmaptool: ../../man/8/osdmaptool
+
+Write a copy of the crush map from the most recent OSD map to
+file. ::
+
+ ceph osd getcrushmap -o file
+
+The foregoing functionally equivalent to ::
+
+ ceph osd getmap -o /tmp/osdmap
+ osdmaptool /tmp/osdmap --export-crush file
+
+Dump the OSD map. Valid formats for ``-f`` are ``plain`` and ``json``. If no
+``--format`` option is given, the OSD map is dumped as plain text. ::
+
+ ceph osd dump [--format {format}]
+
+Dump the OSD map as a tree with one line per OSD containing weight
+and state. ::
+
+ ceph osd tree [--format {format}]
+
+Find out where a specific object is or would be stored in the system::
+
+ ceph osd map <pool-name> <object-name>
+
+Add or move a new item (OSD) with the given id/name/weight at the specified
+location. ::
+
+ ceph osd crush set {id} {weight} [{loc1} [{loc2} ...]]
+
+Remove an existing item (OSD) from the CRUSH map. ::
+
+ ceph osd crush remove {name}
+
+Remove an existing bucket from the CRUSH map. ::
+
+ ceph osd crush remove {bucket-name}
+
+Move an existing bucket from one position in the hierarchy to another. ::
+
+ ceph osd crush move {id} {loc1} [{loc2} ...]
+
+Set the weight of the item given by ``{name}`` to ``{weight}``. ::
+
+ ceph osd crush reweight {name} {weight}
+
+Mark an OSD as lost. This may result in permanent data loss. Use with caution. ::
+
+ ceph osd lost {id} [--yes-i-really-mean-it]
+
+Create a new OSD. If no UUID is given, it will be set automatically when the OSD
+starts up. ::
+
+ ceph osd create [{uuid}]
+
+Remove the given OSD(s). ::
+
+ ceph osd rm [{id}...]
+
+Query the current max_osd parameter in the OSD map. ::
+
+ ceph osd getmaxosd
+
+Import the given crush map. ::
+
+ ceph osd setcrushmap -i file
+
+Set the ``max_osd`` parameter in the OSD map. This is necessary when
+expanding the storage cluster. ::
+
+ ceph osd setmaxosd
+
+Mark OSD ``{osd-num}`` down. ::
+
+ ceph osd down {osd-num}
+
+Mark OSD ``{osd-num}`` out of the distribution (i.e. allocated no data). ::
+
+ ceph osd out {osd-num}
+
+Mark ``{osd-num}`` in the distribution (i.e. allocated data). ::
+
+ ceph osd in {osd-num}
+
+Set or clear the pause flags in the OSD map. If set, no IO requests
+will be sent to any OSD. Clearing the flags via unpause results in
+resending pending requests. ::
+
+ ceph osd pause
+ ceph osd unpause
+
+Set the weight of ``{osd-num}`` to ``{weight}``. Two OSDs with the
+same weight will receive roughly the same number of I/O requests and
+store approximately the same amount of data. ``ceph osd reweight``
+sets an override weight on the OSD. This value is in the range 0 to 1,
+and forces CRUSH to re-place (1-weight) of the data that would
+otherwise live on this drive. It does not change the weights assigned
+to the buckets above the OSD in the crush map, and is a corrective
+measure in case the normal CRUSH distribution is not working out quite
+right. For instance, if one of your OSDs is at 90% and the others are
+at 50%, you could reduce this weight to try and compensate for it. ::
+
+ ceph osd reweight {osd-num} {weight}
+
+Reweights all the OSDs by reducing the weight of OSDs which are
+heavily overused. By default it will adjust the weights downward on
+OSDs which have 120% of the average utilization, but if you include
+threshold it will use that percentage instead. ::
+
+ ceph osd reweight-by-utilization [threshold]
+
+Describes what reweight-by-utilization would do. ::
+
+ ceph osd test-reweight-by-utilization
+
+Adds/removes the address to/from the blacklist. When adding an address,
+you can specify how long it should be blacklisted in seconds; otherwise,
+it will default to 1 hour. A blacklisted address is prevented from
+connecting to any OSD. Blacklisting is most often used to prevent a
+lagging metadata server from making bad changes to data on the OSDs.
+
+These commands are mostly only useful for failure testing, as
+blacklists are normally maintained automatically and shouldn't need
+manual intervention. ::
+
+ ceph osd blacklist add ADDRESS[:source_port] [TIME]
+ ceph osd blacklist rm ADDRESS[:source_port]
+
+Creates/deletes a snapshot of a pool. ::
+
+ ceph osd pool mksnap {pool-name} {snap-name}
+ ceph osd pool rmsnap {pool-name} {snap-name}
+
+Creates/deletes/renames a storage pool. ::
+
+ ceph osd pool create {pool-name} pg_num [pgp_num]
+ ceph osd pool delete {pool-name} [{pool-name} --yes-i-really-really-mean-it]
+ ceph osd pool rename {old-name} {new-name}
+
+Changes a pool setting. ::
+
+ ceph osd pool set {pool-name} {field} {value}
+
+Valid fields are:
+
+ * ``size``: Sets the number of copies of data in the pool.
+ * ``pg_num``: The placement group number.
+ * ``pgp_num``: Effective number when calculating pg placement.
+ * ``crush_ruleset``: rule number for mapping placement.
+
+Get the value of a pool setting. ::
+
+ ceph osd pool get {pool-name} {field}
+
+Valid fields are:
+
+ * ``pg_num``: The placement group number.
+ * ``pgp_num``: Effective number of placement groups when calculating placement.
+ * ``lpg_num``: The number of local placement groups.
+ * ``lpgp_num``: The number used for placing the local placement groups.
+
+
+Sends a scrub command to OSD ``{osd-num}``. To send the command to all OSDs, use ``*``. ::
+
+ ceph osd scrub {osd-num}
+
+Sends a repair command to OSD.N. To send the command to all OSDs, use ``*``. ::
+
+ ceph osd repair N
+
+Runs a simple throughput benchmark against OSD.N, writing ``TOTAL_DATA_BYTES``
+in write requests of ``BYTES_PER_WRITE`` each. By default, the test
+writes 1 GB in total in 4-MB increments.
+The benchmark is non-destructive and will not overwrite existing live
+OSD data, but might temporarily affect the performance of clients
+concurrently accessing the OSD. ::
+
+ ceph tell osd.N bench [TOTAL_DATA_BYTES] [BYTES_PER_WRITE]
+
+
+MDS Subsystem
+=============
+
+Change configuration parameters on a running mds. ::
+
+ ceph tell mds.{mds-id} injectargs --{switch} {value} [--{switch} {value}]
+
+Example::
+
+ ceph tell mds.0 injectargs --debug_ms 1 --debug_mds 10
+
+Enables debug messages. ::
+
+ ceph mds stat
+
+Displays the status of all metadata servers. ::

+Manually editing a CRUSH Map
+============================
+
+.. note:: Manually editing the CRUSH map is considered an advanced
+ administrator operation. All CRUSH changes that are
+ necessary for the overwhelming majority of installations are
+ possible via the standard ceph CLI and do not require manual
+ CRUSH map edits. If you have identified a use case where
+ manual edits *are* necessary, consider contacting the Ceph
+ developers so that future versions of Ceph can make this
+ unnecessary.
+
+To edit an existing CRUSH map:
+
+#. `Get the CRUSH map`_.
+#. `Decompile`_ the CRUSH map.
+#. Edit at least one of `Devices`_, `Buckets`_ and `Rules`_.
+#. `Recompile`_ the CRUSH map.
+#. `Set the CRUSH map`_.
+
+To activate CRUSH map rules for a specific pool, identify the common ruleset
+number for those rules and specify that ruleset number for the pool. See `Set
+Pool Values`_ for details.
+
+.. _Get the CRUSH map: #getcrushmap

+
+Get a CRUSH Map
+---------------
+
+To get the CRUSH map for your cluster, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd getcrushmap -o {compiled-crushmap-filename}
+
+Ceph will output (-o) a compiled CRUSH map to the filename you specified. Since
+the CRUSH map is in a compiled form, you must decompile it first before you can
+edit it.
+
+.. _decompilecrushmap:
+
+Decompile a CRUSH Map
+---------------------
+
+To decompile a CRUSH map, execute the following::
+
+ crushtool -d {compiled-crushmap-filename} -o {decompiled-crushmap-filename}
+
+
+Sections
+--------
+
+There are six main sections to a CRUSH Map.
+
+#. **tunables:** The preamble at the top of the map described any *tunables*
+ for CRUSH behavior that vary from the historical/legacy CRUSH behavior. These
+ correct for old bugs, optimizations, or other changes in behavior that have
+ been made over the years to improve CRUSH's behavior.
+
+#. **devices:** Devices are individual ``ceph-osd`` daemons that can
+ store data.
+
+#. **types**: Bucket ``types`` define the types of buckets used in
+ your CRUSH hierarchy. Buckets consist of a hierarchical aggregation
+ of storage locations (e.g., rows, racks, chassis, hosts, etc.) and
+ their assigned weights.
+
+#. **buckets:** Once you define bucket types, you must define each node
+ in the hierarchy, its type, and which devices or other nodes it
+ containes.
+
+#. **rules:** Rules define policy about how data is distributed across
+ devices in the hierarchy.
+
+#. **choose_args:** Choose_args are alternative weights associated with
+ the hierarchy that have been adjusted to optimize data placement. A single
+ choose_args map can be used for the entire cluster, or one can be
+ created for each individual pool.
+
+
+.. _crushmapdevices:
+
+CRUSH Map Devices
+-----------------
+
+Devices are individual ``ceph-osd`` daemons that can store data. You
+will normally have one defined here for each OSD daemon in your
+cluster. Devices are identified by an id (a non-negative integer) and
+a name, normally ``osd.N`` where ``N`` is the device id.
+
+Devices may also have a *device class* associated with them (e.g.,
+``hdd`` or ``ssd``), allowing them to be conveniently targetted by a
+crush rule.
+
+::
+
+ # devices
+ device {num} {osd.name} [class {class}]
+
+For example::
+
+ # devices
+ device 0 osd.0 class ssd
+ device 1 osd.1 class hdd
+ device 2 osd.2
+ device 3 osd.3
+
+In most cases, each device maps to a single ``ceph-osd`` daemon. This
+is normally a single storage device, a pair of devices (for example,
+one for data and one for a journal or metadata), or in some cases a
+small RAID device.
+
+
+
+
+
+CRUSH Map Bucket Types
+----------------------
+
+The second list in the CRUSH map defines 'bucket' types. Buckets facilitate
+a hierarchy of nodes and leaves. Node (or non-leaf) buckets typically represent
+physical locations in a hierarchy. Nodes aggregate other nodes or leaves.
+Leaf buckets represent ``ceph-osd`` daemons and their corresponding storage
+media.
+
+.. tip:: The term "bucket" used in the context of CRUSH means a node in
+ the hierarchy, i.e. a location or a piece of physical hardware. It
+ is a different concept from the term "bucket" when used in the
+ context of RADOS Gateway APIs.
+
+To add a bucket type to the CRUSH map, create a new line under your list of
+bucket types. Enter ``type`` followed by a unique numeric ID and a bucket name.
+By convention, there is one leaf bucket and it is ``type 0``; however, you may
+give it any name you like (e.g., osd, disk, drive, storage, etc.)::
+
+ #types
+ type {num} {bucket-name}
+
+For example::
+
+ # types
+ type 0 osd
+ type 1 host
+ type 2 chassis
+ type 3 rack
+ type 4 row
+ type 5 pdu
+ type 6 pod
+ type 7 room
+ type 8 datacenter
+ type 9 region
+ type 10 root
+
+
+
+.. _crushmapbuckets:
+
+CRUSH Map Bucket Hierarchy
+--------------------------
+
+The CRUSH algorithm distributes data objects among storage devices according
+to a per-device weight value, approximating a uniform probability distribution.
+CRUSH distributes objects and their replicas according to the hierarchical
+cluster map you define. Your CRUSH map represents the available storage
+devices and the logical elements that contain them.
+
+To map placement groups to OSDs across failure domains, a CRUSH map defines a
+hierarchical list of bucket types (i.e., under ``#types`` in the generated CRUSH
+map). The purpose of creating a bucket hierarchy is to segregate the
+leaf nodes by their failure domains, such as hosts, chassis, racks, power
+distribution units, pods, rows, rooms, and data centers. With the exception of
+the leaf nodes representing OSDs, the rest of the hierarchy is arbitrary, and
+you may define it according to your own needs.
+
+We recommend adapting your CRUSH map to your firms's hardware naming conventions
+and using instances names that reflect the physical hardware. Your naming
+practice can make it easier to administer the cluster and troubleshoot
+problems when an OSD and/or other hardware malfunctions and the administrator
+need access to physical hardware.
+
+In the following example, the bucket hierarchy has a leaf bucket named ``osd``,
+and two node buckets named ``host`` and ``rack`` respectively.
+
+.. ditaa::
+ +-----------+
+ | {o}rack |
+ | Bucket |
+ +-----+-----+
+ |
+ +---------------+---------------+
+ | |
+ +-----+-----+ +-----+-----+
+ | {o}host | | {o}host |
+ | Bucket | | Bucket |
+ +-----+-----+ +-----+-----+
+ | |
+ +-------+-------+ +-------+-------+
+ | | | |
+ +-----+-----+ +-----+-----+ +-----+-----+ +-----+-----+
+ | osd | | osd | | osd | | osd |
+ | Bucket | | Bucket | | Bucket | | Bucket |
+ +-----------+ +-----------+ +-----------+ +-----------+
+
+.. note:: The higher numbered ``rack`` bucket type aggregates the lower
+ numbered ``host`` bucket type.
+
+Since leaf nodes reflect storage devices declared under the ``#devices`` list
+at the beginning of the CRUSH map, you do not need to declare them as bucket
+instances. The second lowest bucket type in your hierarchy usually aggregates
+the devices (i.e., it's usually the computer containing the storage media, and
+uses whatever term you prefer to describe it, such as "node", "computer",
+"server," "host", "machine", etc.). In high density environments, it is
+increasingly common to see multiple hosts/nodes per chassis. You should account
+for chassis failure too--e.g., the need to pull a chassis if a node fails may
+result in bringing down numerous hosts/nodes and their OSDs.
+
+When declaring a bucket instance, you must specify its type, give it a unique
+name (string), assign it a unique ID expressed as a negative integer (optional),
+specify a weight relative to the total capacity/capability of its item(s),
+specify the bucket algorithm (usually ``straw``), and the hash (usually ``0``,
+reflecting hash algorithm ``rjenkins1``). A bucket may have one or more items.
+The items may consist of node buckets or leaves. Items may have a weight that
+reflects the relative weight of the item.
+
+You may declare a node bucket with the following syntax::
+
+ [bucket-type] [bucket-name] {
+ id [a unique negative numeric ID]
+ weight [the relative capacity/capability of the item(s)]
+ alg [the bucket type: uniform | list | tree | straw ]
+ hash [the hash type: 0 by default]
+ item [item-name] weight [weight]
+ }
+
+For example, using the diagram above, we would define two host buckets
+and one rack bucket. The OSDs are declared as items within the host buckets::
+
+ host node1 {
+ id -1
+ alg straw
+ hash 0
+ item osd.0 weight 1.00
+ item osd.1 weight 1.00
+ }
+
+ host node2 {
+ id -2
+ alg straw
+ hash 0
+ item osd.2 weight 1.00
+ item osd.3 weight 1.00
+ }
+
+ rack rack1 {
+ id -3
+ alg straw
+ hash 0
+ item node1 weight 2.00
+ item node2 weight 2.00
+ }
+
+.. note:: In the foregoing example, note that the rack bucket does not contain
+ any OSDs. Rather it contains lower level host buckets, and includes the
+ sum total of their weight in the item entry.
+
+.. topic:: Bucket Types
+
+ Ceph supports four bucket types, each representing a tradeoff between
+ performance and reorganization efficiency. If you are unsure of which bucket
+ type to use, we recommend using a ``straw`` bucket. For a detailed
+ discussion of bucket types, refer to
+ `CRUSH - Controlled, Scalable, Decentralized Placement of Replicated Data`_,
+ and more specifically to **Section 3.4**. The bucket types are:
+
+ #. **Uniform:** Uniform buckets aggregate devices with **exactly** the same
+ weight. For example, when firms commission or decommission hardware, they
+ typically do so with many machines that have exactly the same physical
+ configuration (e.g., bulk purchases). When storage devices have exactly
+ the same weight, you may use the ``uniform`` bucket type, which allows
+ CRUSH to map replicas into uniform buckets in constant time. With
+ non-uniform weights, you should use another bucket algorithm.
+
+ #. **List**: List buckets aggregate their content as linked lists. Based on
+ the :abbr:`RUSH (Replication Under Scalable Hashing)` :sub:`P` algorithm,
+ a list is a natural and intuitive choice for an **expanding cluster**:
+ either an object is relocated to the newest device with some appropriate
+ probability, or it remains on the older devices as before. The result is
+ optimal data migration when items are added to the bucket. Items removed
+ from the middle or tail of the list, however, can result in a significant
+ amount of unnecessary movement, making list buckets most suitable for
+ circumstances in which they **never (or very rarely) shrink**.
+
+ #. **Tree**: Tree buckets use a binary search tree. They are more efficient
+ than list buckets when a bucket contains a larger set of items. Based on
+ the :abbr:`RUSH (Replication Under Scalable Hashing)` :sub:`R` algorithm,
+ tree buckets reduce the placement time to O(log :sub:`n`), making them
+ suitable for managing much larger sets of devices or nested buckets.
+
+ #. **Straw:** List and Tree buckets use a divide and conquer strategy
+ in a way that either gives certain items precedence (e.g., those
+ at the beginning of a list) or obviates the need to consider entire
+ subtrees of items at all. That improves the performance of the replica
+ placement process, but can also introduce suboptimal reorganization
+ behavior when the contents of a bucket change due an addition, removal,
+ or re-weighting of an item. The straw bucket type allows all items to
+ fairly “compete” against each other for replica placement through a
+ process analogous to a draw of straws.
+
+.. topic:: Hash
+
+ Each bucket uses a hash algorithm. Currently, Ceph supports ``rjenkins1``.
+ Enter ``0`` as your hash setting to select ``rjenkins1``.
+
+
+.. _weightingbucketitems:
+
+.. topic:: Weighting Bucket Items
+
+ Ceph expresses bucket weights as doubles, which allows for fine
+ weighting. A weight is the relative difference between device capacities. We
+ recommend using ``1.00`` as the relative weight for a 1TB storage device.
+ In such a scenario, a weight of ``0.5`` would represent approximately 500GB,
+ and a weight of ``3.00`` would represent approximately 3TB. Higher level
+ buckets have a weight that is the sum total of the leaf items aggregated by
+ the bucket.
+
+ A bucket item weight is one dimensional, but you may also calculate your
+ item weights to reflect the performance of the storage drive. For example,
+ if you have many 1TB drives where some have relatively low data transfer
+ rate and the others have a relatively high data transfer rate, you may
+ weight them differently, even though they have the same capacity (e.g.,
+ a weight of 0.80 for the first set of drives with lower total throughput,
+ and 1.20 for the second set of drives with higher total throughput).

+
+CRUSH Map Rules
+---------------
+
+CRUSH maps support the notion of 'CRUSH rules', which are the rules that
+determine data placement for a pool. For large clusters, you will likely create
+many pools where each pool may have its own CRUSH ruleset and rules. The default
+CRUSH map has a rule for each pool, and one ruleset assigned to each of the
+default pools.
+
+.. note:: In most cases, you will not need to modify the default rules. When
+ you create a new pool, its default ruleset is ``0``.
+
+
+CRUSH rules define placement and replication strategies or distribution policies
+that allow you to specify exactly how CRUSH places object replicas. For
+example, you might create a rule selecting a pair of targets for 2-way
+mirroring, another rule for selecting three targets in two different data
+centers for 3-way mirroring, and yet another rule for erasure coding over six
+storage devices. For a detailed discussion of CRUSH rules, refer to
+`CRUSH - Controlled, Scalable, Decentralized Placement of Replicated Data`_,
+and more specifically to **Section 3.2**.
+
+A rule takes the following form::
+
+ rule <rulename> {
+
+ ruleset <ruleset>
+ type [ replicated | erasure ]
+ min_size <min-size>
+ max_size <max-size>
+ step take <bucket-name> [class <device-class>]
+ step [choose|chooseleaf] [firstn|indep] <N> <bucket-type>
+ step emit
+ }
+
+
+``ruleset``
+
+:Description: A means of classifying a rule as belonging to a set of rules.
+ Activated by `setting the ruleset in a pool`_.
+
+:Purpose: A component of the rule mask.
+:Type: Integer
+:Required: Yes
+:Default: 0
+
+.. _setting the ruleset in a pool: ../pools#setpoolvalues
+

+
+:Description: Describes a rule for either a storage drive (replicated)
+ or a RAID.
+
+:Purpose: A component of the rule mask.
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes
+:Default: ``replicated``
+:Valid Values: Currently only ``replicated`` and ``erasure``
+
+``min_size``

+
+
+``step take <bucket-name> [class <device-class>]``

+ devices that do not belong to the class are excluded.
+:Purpose: A component of the rule.
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``step take data``
+
+
+``step choose firstn {num} type {bucket-type}``
+
+:Description: Selects the number of buckets of the given type. The number is
+ usually the number of replicas in the pool (i.e., pool size).
+
+ - If ``{num} == 0``, choose ``pool-num-replicas`` buckets (all available).
+ - If ``{num} > 0 && < pool-num-replicas``, choose that many buckets.
+ - If ``{num} < 0``, it means ``pool-num-replicas - {num}``.
+
+:Purpose: A component of the rule.
+:Prerequisite: Follows ``step take`` or ``step choose``.
+:Example: ``step choose firstn 1 type row``
+
+
+``step chooseleaf firstn {num} type {bucket-type}``
+
+:Description: Selects a set of buckets of ``{bucket-type}`` and chooses a leaf
+ node from the subtree of each bucket in the set of buckets. The
+ number of buckets in the set is usually the number of replicas in
+ the pool (i.e., pool size).
+
+ - If ``{num} == 0``, choose ``pool-num-replicas`` buckets (all available).
+ - If ``{num} > 0 && < pool-num-replicas``, choose that many buckets.
+ - If ``{num} < 0``, it means ``pool-num-replicas - {num}``.
+
+:Purpose: A component of the rule. Usage removes the need to select a device using two steps.
+:Prerequisite: Follows ``step take`` or ``step choose``.
+:Example: ``step chooseleaf firstn 0 type row``
+
+
+
+``step emit``
+
+:Description: Outputs the current value and empties the stack. Typically used
+ at the end of a rule, but may also be used to pick from different

+
+:Purpose: A component of the rule.
+:Prerequisite: Follows ``step choose``.
+:Example: ``step emit``
+
+.. important:: To activate one or more rules with a common ruleset number to a
+ pool, set the ruleset number of the pool.
+
+
+Placing Different Pools on Different OSDS:
+==========================================
+
+Suppose you want to have most pools default to OSDs backed by large hard drives,
+but have some pools mapped to OSDs backed by fast solid-state drives (SSDs).
+It's possible to have multiple independent CRUSH hierarchies within the same
+CRUSH map. Define two hierarchies with two different root nodes--one for hard
+disks (e.g., "root platter") and one for SSDs (e.g., "root ssd") as shown
+below::
+
+ device 0 osd.0
+ device 1 osd.1
+ device 2 osd.2
+ device 3 osd.3
+ device 4 osd.4
+ device 5 osd.5
+ device 6 osd.6
+ device 7 osd.7
+
+ host ceph-osd-ssd-server-1 {
+ id -1
+ alg straw
+ hash 0
+ item osd.0 weight 1.00
+ item osd.1 weight 1.00
+ }
+
+ host ceph-osd-ssd-server-2 {
+ id -2
+ alg straw
+ hash 0
+ item osd.2 weight 1.00
+ item osd.3 weight 1.00
+ }
+
+ host ceph-osd-platter-server-1 {
+ id -3
+ alg straw
+ hash 0
+ item osd.4 weight 1.00
+ item osd.5 weight 1.00
+ }
+
+ host ceph-osd-platter-server-2 {
+ id -4
+ alg straw
+ hash 0
+ item osd.6 weight 1.00
+ item osd.7 weight 1.00
+ }
+
+ root platter {
+ id -5
+ alg straw
+ hash 0
+ item ceph-osd-platter-server-1 weight 2.00
+ item ceph-osd-platter-server-2 weight 2.00
+ }
+
+ root ssd {
+ id -6
+ alg straw
+ hash 0
+ item ceph-osd-ssd-server-1 weight 2.00
+ item ceph-osd-ssd-server-2 weight 2.00
+ }
+
+ rule data {
+ ruleset 0
+ type replicated
+ min_size 2
+ max_size 2
+ step take platter
+ step chooseleaf firstn 0 type host
+ step emit
+ }
+
+ rule metadata {
+ ruleset 1
+ type replicated
+ min_size 0
+ max_size 10
+ step take platter
+ step chooseleaf firstn 0 type host
+ step emit
+ }
+
+ rule rbd {
+ ruleset 2
+ type replicated
+ min_size 0
+ max_size 10
+ step take platter
+ step chooseleaf firstn 0 type host
+ step emit
+ }
+
+ rule platter {
+ ruleset 3
+ type replicated
+ min_size 0
+ max_size 10
+ step take platter
+ step chooseleaf firstn 0 type host
+ step emit
+ }
+
+ rule ssd {
+ ruleset 4
+ type replicated
+ min_size 0
+ max_size 4
+ step take ssd
+ step chooseleaf firstn 0 type host
+ step emit
+ }
+
+ rule ssd-primary {
+ ruleset 5
+ type replicated
+ min_size 5
+ max_size 10
+ step take ssd
+ step chooseleaf firstn 1 type host
+ step emit
+ step take platter
+ step chooseleaf firstn -1 type host
+ step emit
+ }
+
+You can then set a pool to use the SSD rule by::
+
+ ceph osd pool set <poolname> crush_ruleset 4
+
+Similarly, using the ``ssd-primary`` rule will cause each placement group in the
+pool to be placed with an SSD as the primary and platters as the replicas.
+
+
+Tuning CRUSH, the hard way
+--------------------------
+
+If you can ensure that all clients are running recent code, you can
+adjust the tunables by extracting the CRUSH map, modifying the values,
+and reinjecting it into the cluster.
+
+* Extract the latest CRUSH map::
+
+ ceph osd getcrushmap -o /tmp/crush
+
+* Adjust tunables. These values appear to offer the best behavior
+ for both large and small clusters we tested with. You will need to
+ additionally specify the ``--enable-unsafe-tunables`` argument to
+ ``crushtool`` for this to work. Please use this option with
+ extreme care.::
+
+ crushtool -i /tmp/crush --set-choose-local-tries 0 --set-choose-local-fallback-tries 0 --set-choose-total-tries 50 -o /tmp/crush.new
+
+* Reinject modified map::
+
+ ceph osd setcrushmap -i /tmp/crush.new
+
+Legacy values
+-------------
+
+For reference, the legacy values for the CRUSH tunables can be set
+with::
+
+ crushtool -i /tmp/crush --set-choose-local-tries 2 --set-choose-local-fallback-tries 5 --set-choose-total-tries 19 --set-chooseleaf-descend-once 0 --set-chooseleaf-vary-r 0 -o /tmp/crush.legacy
+
+Again, the special ``--enable-unsafe-tunables`` option is required.
+Further, as noted above, be careful running old versions of the
+``ceph-osd`` daemon after reverting to legacy values as the feature
+bit is not perfectly enforced.

+============
+ CRUSH Maps
+============
+
+The :abbr:`CRUSH (Controlled Replication Under Scalable Hashing)` algorithm
+determines how to store and retrieve data by computing data storage locations.
+CRUSH empowers Ceph clients to communicate with OSDs directly rather than
+through a centralized server or broker. With an algorithmically determined
+method of storing and retrieving data, Ceph avoids a single point of failure, a
+performance bottleneck, and a physical limit to its scalability.
+
+CRUSH requires a map of your cluster, and uses the CRUSH map to pseudo-randomly
+store and retrieve data in OSDs with a uniform distribution of data across the
+cluster. For a detailed discussion of CRUSH, see
+`CRUSH - Controlled, Scalable, Decentralized Placement of Replicated Data`_
+
+CRUSH maps contain a list of :abbr:`OSDs (Object Storage Devices)`, a list of
+'buckets' for aggregating the devices into physical locations, and a list of
+rules that tell CRUSH how it should replicate data in a Ceph cluster's pools. By
+reflecting the underlying physical organization of the installation, CRUSH can
+model—and thereby address—potential sources of correlated device failures.
+Typical sources include physical proximity, a shared power source, and a shared
+network. By encoding this information into the cluster map, CRUSH placement
+policies can separate object replicas across different failure domains while
+still maintaining the desired distribution. For example, to address the
+possibility of concurrent failures, it may be desirable to ensure that data
+replicas are on devices using different shelves, racks, power supplies,
+controllers, and/or physical locations.
+
+When you deploy OSDs they are automatically placed within the CRUSH map under a
+``host`` node named with the hostname for the host they are running on. This,
+combined with the default CRUSH failure domain, ensures that replicas or erasure
+code shards are separated across hosts and a single host failure will not
+affect availability. For larger clusters, however, administrators should carefully consider their choice of failure domain. Separating replicas across racks,
+for example, is common for mid- to large-sized clusters.
+
+
+CRUSH Location
+==============
+
+The location of an OSD in terms of the CRUSH map's hierarchy is
+referred to as a ``crush location``. This location specifier takes the
+form of a list of key and value pairs describing a position. For
+example, if an OSD is in a particular row, rack, chassis and host, and
+is part of the 'default' CRUSH tree (this is the case for the vast
+majority of clusters), its crush location could be described as::
+
+ root=default row=a rack=a2 chassis=a2a host=a2a1
+
+Note:
+
+#. Note that the order of the keys does not matter.
+#. The key name (left of ``=``) must be a valid CRUSH ``type``. By default
+ these include root, datacenter, room, row, pod, pdu, rack, chassis and host,
+ but those types can be customized to be anything appropriate by modifying
+ the CRUSH map.
+#. Not all keys need to be specified. For example, by default, Ceph
+ automatically sets a ``ceph-osd`` daemon's location to be
+ ``root=default host=HOSTNAME`` (based on the output from ``hostname -s``).
+
+The crush location for an OSD is normally expressed via the ``crush location``
+config option being set in the ``ceph.conf`` file. Each time the OSD starts,
+it verifies it is in the correct location in the CRUSH map and, if it is not,
+it moved itself. To disable this automatic CRUSH map management, add the
+following to your configuration file in the ``[osd]`` section::
+
+ osd crush update on start = false
+
+
+Custom location hooks
+---------------------
+
+A customized location hook can be used to generate a more complete
+crush location on startup. The sample ``ceph-crush-location`` utility
+will generate a CRUSH location string for a given daemon. The
+location is based on, in order of preference:
+
+#. A ``crush location`` option in ceph.conf.
+#. A default of ``root=default host=HOSTNAME`` where the hostname is
+ generated with the ``hostname -s`` command.
+
+This is not useful by itself, as the OSD itself has the exact same
+behavior. However, the script can be modified to provide additional
+location fields (for example, the rack or datacenter), and then the
+hook enabled via the config option::
+
+ crush location hook = /path/to/customized-ceph-crush-location
+
+This hook is passed several arguments (below) and should output a single line
+to stdout with the CRUSH location description.::
+
+ $ ceph-crush-location --cluster CLUSTER --id ID --type TYPE
+
+where the cluster name is typically 'ceph', the id is the daemon
+identifier (the OSD number), and the daemon type is typically ``osd``.
+
+
+CRUSH structure
+===============
+
+The CRUSH map consists of, loosely speaking, a hierarchy describing
+the physical topology of the cluster, and a set of rules defining
+policy about how we place data on those devices. The hierarchy has
+devices (``ceph-osd`` daemons) at the leaves, and internal nodes
+corresponding to other physical features or groupings: hosts, racks,
+rows, datacenters, and so on. The rules describe how replicas are
+placed in terms of that hierarchy (e.g., 'three replicas in different
+racks').
+
+Devices
+-------
+
+Devices are individual ``ceph-osd`` daemons that can store data. You
+will normally have one defined here for each OSD daemon in your
+cluster. Devices are identified by an id (a non-negative integer) and
+a name, normally ``osd.N`` where ``N`` is the device id.
+
+Devices may also have a *device class* associated with them (e.g.,
+``hdd`` or ``ssd``), allowing them to be conveniently targetted by a
+crush rule.
+
+Types and Buckets
+-----------------
+
+A bucket is the CRUSH term for internal nodes in the hierarchy: hosts,
+racks, rows, etc. The CRUSH map defines a series of *types* that are
+used to describe these nodes. By default, these types include:
+
+- osd (or device)
+- host
+- chassis
+- rack
+- row
+- pdu
+- pod
+- room
+- datacenter
+- region
+- root
+
+Most clusters make use of only a handful of these types, and others
+can be defined as needed.
+
+The hierarchy is built with devices (normally type ``osd``) at the
+leaves, interior nodes with non-device types, and a root node of type
+``root``. For example,
+
+.. ditaa::
+
+ +-----------------+
+ | {o}root default |
+ +--------+--------+
+ |
+ +---------------+---------------+
+ | |
+ +-------+-------+ +-----+-------+
+ | {o}host foo | | {o}host bar |
+ +-------+-------+ +-----+-------+
+ | |
+ +-------+-------+ +-------+-------+
+ | | | |
+ +-----+-----+ +-----+-----+ +-----+-----+ +-----+-----+
+ | osd.0 | | osd.1 | | osd.2 | | osd.3 |
+ +-----------+ +-----------+ +-----------+ +-----------+
+
+Each node (device or bucket) in the hierarchy has a *weight*
+associated with it, indicating the relative proportion of the total
+data that device or hierarchy subtree should store. Weights are set
+at the leaves, indicating the size of the device, and automatically
+sum up the tree from there, such that the weight of the default node
+will be the total of all devices contained beneath it. Normally
+weights are in units of terabytes (TB).
+
+You can get a simple view the CRUSH hierarchy for your cluster,
+including the weights, with::
+
+ ceph osd crush tree
+
+Rules
+-----
+
+Rules define policy about how data is distributed across the devices
+in the hierarchy.
+
+CRUSH rules define placement and replication strategies or
+distribution policies that allow you to specify exactly how CRUSH
+places object replicas. For example, you might create a rule selecting
+a pair of targets for 2-way mirroring, another rule for selecting
+three targets in two different data centers for 3-way mirroring, and
+yet another rule for erasure coding over six storage devices. For a
+detailed discussion of CRUSH rules, refer to `CRUSH - Controlled,
+Scalable, Decentralized Placement of Replicated Data`_, and more
+specifically to **Section 3.2**.
+
+In almost all cases, CRUSH rules can be created via the CLI by
+specifying the *pool type* they will be used for (replicated or
+erasure coded), the *failure domain*, and optionally a *device class*.
+In rare cases rules must be written by hand by manually editing the
+CRUSH map.
+
+You can see what rules are defined for your cluster with::
+
+ ceph osd crush rule ls
+
+You can view the contents of the rules with::
+
+ ceph osd crush rule dump
+
+Device classes
+--------------
+
+Each device can optionally have a *class* associated with it. By
+default, OSDs automatically set their class on startup to either
+`hdd`, `ssd`, or `nvme` based on the type of device they are backed
+by.
+
+The device class for one or more OSDs can be explicitly set with::
+
+ ceph osd crush set-device-class <class> <osd-name> [...]
+
+Once a device class is set, it cannot be changed to another class
+until the old class is unset with::
+
+ ceph osd crush rm-device-class <osd-name> [...]
+
+This allows administrators to set device classes without the class
+being changed on OSD restart or by some other script.
+
+A placement rule that targets a specific device class can be created with::
+
+ ceph osd crush rule create-replicated <rule-name> <root> <failure-domain> <class>
+
+A pool can then be changed to use the new rule with::
+
+ ceph osd pool set <pool-name> crush_rule <rule-name>
+
+Device classes are implemented by creating a "shadow" CRUSH hierarchy
+for each device class in use that contains only devices of that class.
+Rules can then distribute data over the shadow hierarchy. One nice
+thing about this approach is that it is fully backward compatible with
+old Ceph clients. You can view the CRUSH hierarchy with shadow items
+with::
+
+ ceph osd crush tree --show-shadow
+
+
+Weights sets
+------------
+
+A *weight set* is an alternative set of weights to use when
+calculating data placement. The normal weights associated with each
+device in the CRUSH map are set based on the device size and indicate
+how much data we *should* be storing where. However, because CRUSH is
+based on a pseudorandom placement process, there is always some
+variation from this ideal distribution, the same way that rolling a
+dice sixty times will not result in rolling exactly 10 ones and 10
+sixes. Weight sets allow the cluster to do a numerical optimization
+based on the specifics of your cluster (hierarchy, pools, etc.) to achieve
+a balanced distribution.
+
+There are two types of weight sets supported:
+
+ #. A **compat** weight set is a single alternative set of weights for
+ each device and node in the cluster. This is not well-suited for
+ correcting for all anomalies (for example, placement groups for
+ different pools may be different sizes and have different load
+ levels, but will be mostly treated the same by the balancer).
+ However, compat weight sets have the huge advantage that they are
+ *backward compatible* with previous versions of Ceph, which means
+ that even though weight sets were first introduced in Luminous
+ v12.2.z, older clients (e.g., firefly) can still connect to the
+ cluster when a compat weight set is being used to balance data.
+ #. A **per-pool** weight set is more flexible in that it allows
+ placement to be optimized for each data pool. Additionally,
+ weights can be adjusted for each position of placement, allowing
+ the optimizer to correct for a suble skew of data toward devices
+ with small weights relative to their peers (and effect that is
+ usually only apparently in very large clusters but which can cause
+ balancing problems).
+
+When weight sets are in use, the weights associated with each node in
+the hierarchy is visible as a separate column (labeled either
+``(compat)`` or the pool name) from the command::
+
+ ceph osd crush tree
+
+When both *compat* and *per-pool* weight sets are in use, data
+placement for a particular pool will use its own per-pool weight set
+if present. If not, it will use the compat weight set if present. If
+neither are present, it will use the normal CRUSH weights.
+
+Although weight sets can be set up and manipulated by hand, it is
+recommended that the *balancer* module be enabled to do so
+automatically.
+
+
+Modifying the CRUSH map
+=======================
+
+.. _addosd:
+
+Add/Move an OSD
+---------------
+
+.. note: OSDs are normally automatically added to the CRUSH map when
+ the OSD is created. This command is rarely needed.
+
+To add or move an OSD in the CRUSH map of a running cluster::
+
+ ceph osd crush set {name} {weight} root={root} [{bucket-type}={bucket-name} ...]
+
+Where:
+
+``name``
+
+:Description: The full name of the OSD.
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``osd.0``
+
+
+``weight``
+
+:Description: The CRUSH weight for the OSD, normally its size measure in terabytes (TB).
+:Type: Double
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``2.0``
+
+
+``root``
+
+:Description: The root node of the tree in which the OSD resides (normally ``default``)
+:Type: Key/value pair.
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``root=default``
+
+
+``bucket-type``
+
+:Description: You may specify the OSD's location in the CRUSH hierarchy.
+:Type: Key/value pairs.
+:Required: No
+:Example: ``datacenter=dc1 room=room1 row=foo rack=bar host=foo-bar-1``
+
+
+The following example adds ``osd.0`` to the hierarchy, or moves the
+OSD from a previous location. ::
+
+ ceph osd crush set osd.0 1.0 root=default datacenter=dc1 room=room1 row=foo rack=bar host=foo-bar-1
+
+
+Adjust OSD weight
+-----------------
+
+.. note: Normally OSDs automatically add themselves to the CRUSH map
+ with the correct weight when they are created. This command
+ is rarely needed.
+
+To adjust an OSD's crush weight in the CRUSH map of a running cluster, execute
+the following::
+
+ ceph osd crush reweight {name} {weight}
+
+Where:
+
+``name``
+
+:Description: The full name of the OSD.
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``osd.0``
+
+
+``weight``
+
+:Description: The CRUSH weight for the OSD.
+:Type: Double
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``2.0``
+
+
+.. _removeosd:
+
+Remove an OSD
+-------------
+
+.. note: OSDs are normally removed from the CRUSH as part of the
+ ``ceph osd purge`` command. This command is rarely needed.
+
+To remove an OSD from the CRUSH map of a running cluster, execute the
+following::
+
+ ceph osd crush remove {name}
+
+Where:
+
+``name``
+
+:Description: The full name of the OSD.
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``osd.0``
+
+
+Add a Bucket
+------------
+
+.. note: Buckets are normally implicitly created when an OSD is added
+ that specifies a ``{bucket-type}={bucket-name}`` as part of its
+ location and a bucket with that name does not already exist. This
+ command is typically used when manually adjusting the structure of the
+ hierarchy after OSDs have been created (for example, to move a
+ series of hosts underneath a new rack-level bucket).
+
+To add a bucket in the CRUSH map of a running cluster, execute the
+``ceph osd crush add-bucket`` command::
+
+ ceph osd crush add-bucket {bucket-name} {bucket-type}
+
+Where:
+
+``bucket-name``
+
+:Description: The full name of the bucket.
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``rack12``
+
+
+``bucket-type``
+
+:Description: The type of the bucket. The type must already exist in the hierarchy.
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``rack``
+
+
+The following example adds the ``rack12`` bucket to the hierarchy::
+
+ ceph osd crush add-bucket rack12 rack
+
+Move a Bucket
+-------------
+
+To move a bucket to a different location or position in the CRUSH map
+hierarchy, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd crush move {bucket-name} {bucket-type}={bucket-name}, [...]
+
+Where:
+
+``bucket-name``
+
+:Description: The name of the bucket to move/reposition.
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``foo-bar-1``
+
+``bucket-type``
+
+:Description: You may specify the bucket's location in the CRUSH hierarchy.
+:Type: Key/value pairs.
+:Required: No
+:Example: ``datacenter=dc1 room=room1 row=foo rack=bar host=foo-bar-1``
+
+Remove a Bucket
+---------------
+
+To remove a bucket from the CRUSH map hierarchy, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd crush remove {bucket-name}
+
+.. note:: A bucket must be empty before removing it from the CRUSH hierarchy.
+
+Where:
+
+``bucket-name``
+
+:Description: The name of the bucket that you'd like to remove.
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``rack12``
+
+The following example removes the ``rack12`` bucket from the hierarchy::
+
+ ceph osd crush remove rack12
+
+Creating a compat weight set
+----------------------------
+
+.. note: This step is normally done automatically by the ``balancer``
+ module when enabled.
+
+To create a *compat* weight set::
+
+ ceph osd crush weight-set create-compat
+
+Weights for the compat weight set can be adjusted with::
+
+ ceph osd crush weight-set reweight-compat {name} {weight}
+
+The compat weight set can be destroyed with::
+
+ ceph osd crush weight-set rm-compat
+
+Creating per-pool weight sets
+-----------------------------
+
+To create a weight set for a specific pool,::
+
+ ceph osd crush weight-set create {pool-name} {mode}
+
+.. note:: Per-pool weight sets require that all servers and daemons
+ run Luminous v12.2.z or later.
+
+Where:
+
+``pool-name``
+
+:Description: The name of a RADOS pool
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``rbd``
+
+``mode``
+
+:Description: Either ``flat`` or ``positional``. A *flat* weight set
+ has a single weight for each device or bucket. A
+ *positional* weight set has a potentially different
+ weight for each position in the resulting placement
+ mapping. For example, if a pool has a replica count of
+ 3, then a positional weight set will have three weights
+ for each device and bucket.
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``flat``
+
+To adjust the weight of an item in a weight set::
+
+ ceph osd crush weight-set reweight {pool-name} {item-name} {weight [...]}
+
+To list existing weight sets,::
+
+ ceph osd crush weight-set ls
+
+To remove a weight set,::
+
+ ceph osd crush weight-set rm {pool-name}
+
+Creating a rule for a replicated pool
+-------------------------------------
+
+For a replicated pool, the primary decision when creating the CRUSH
+rule is what the failure domain is going to be. For example, if a
+failure domain of ``host`` is selected, then CRUSH will ensure that
+each replica of the data is stored on a different host. If ``rack``
+is selected, then each replica will be stored in a different rack.
+What failure domain you choose primarily depends on the size of your
+cluster and how your hierarchy is structured.
+
+Normally, the entire cluster hierarchy is nested beneath a root node
+named ``default``. If you have customized your hierarchy, you may
+want to create a rule nested at some other node in the hierarchy. It
+doesn't matter what type is associated with that node (it doesn't have
+to be a ``root`` node).
+
+It is also possible to create a rule that restricts data placement to
+a specific *class* of device. By default, Ceph OSDs automatically
+classify themselves as either ``hdd`` or ``ssd``, depending on the
+underlying type of device being used. These classes can also be
+customized.
+
+To create a replicated rule,::
+
+ ceph osd crush rule create-replicated {name} {root} {failure-domain-type} [{class}]
+
+Where:
+
+``name``
+
+:Description: The name of the rule
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``rbd-rule``
+
+``root``
+
+:Description: The name of the node under which data should be placed.
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``default``
+
+``failure-domain-type``
+
+:Description: The type of CRUSH nodes across which we should separate replicas.
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes
+:Example: ``rack``
+
+``class``
+
+:Description: The device class data should be placed on.
+:Type: String
+:Required: No
+:Example: ``ssd``
+
+Creating a rule for an erasure coded pool
+-----------------------------------------
+
+For an erasure-coded pool, the same basic decisions need to be made as
+with a replicated pool: what is the failure domain, what node in the
+hierarchy will data be placed under (usually ``default``), and will
+placement be restricted to a specific device class. Erasure code
+pools are created a bit differently, however, because they need to be
+constructed carefully based on the erasure code being used. For this reason,
+you must include this information in the *erasure code profile*. A CRUSH
+rule will then be created from that either explicitly or automatically when
+the profile is used to create a pool.
+
+The erasure code profiles can be listed with::
+
+ ceph osd erasure-code-profile ls
+
+An existing profile can be viewed with::
+
+ ceph osd erasure-code-profile get {profile-name}
+
+Normally profiles should never be modified; instead, a new profile
+should be created and used when creating a new pool or creating a new
+rule for an existing pool.
+
+An erasure code profile consists of a set of key=value pairs. Most of
+these control the behavior of the erasure code that is encoding data
+in the pool. Those that begin with ``crush-``, however, affect the
+CRUSH rule that is created.
+
+The erasure code profile properties of interest are:
+
+ * **crush-root**: the name of the CRUSH node to place data under [default: ``default``].
+ * **crush-failure-domain**: the CRUSH type to separate erasure-coded shards across [default: ``host``].
+ * **crush-device-class**: the device class to place data on [default: none, meaning all devices are used].
+ * **k** and **m** (and, for the ``lrc`` plugin, **l**): these determine the number of erasure code shards, affecting the resulting CRUSH rule.
+
+Once a profile is defined, you can create a CRUSH rule with::
+
+ ceph osd crush rule create-erasure {name} {profile-name}
+
+.. note: When creating a new pool, it is not actually necessary to
+ explicitly create the rule. If the erasure code profile alone is
+ specified and the rule argument is left off then Ceph will create
+ the CRUSH rule automatically.
+
+Deleting rules
+--------------
+
+Rules that are not in use by pools can be deleted with::
+
+ ceph osd crush rule rm {rule-name}
+
+
+Tunables
+========
+
+Over time, we have made (and continue to make) improvements to the
+CRUSH algorithm used to calculate the placement of data. In order to
+support the change in behavior, we have introduced a series of tunable
+options that control whether the legacy or improved variation of the
+algorithm is used.
+
+In order to use newer tunables, both clients and servers must support
+the new version of CRUSH. For this reason, we have created
+``profiles`` that are named after the Ceph version in which they were
+introduced. For example, the ``firefly`` tunables are first supported
+in the firefly release, and will not work with older (e.g., dumpling)
+clients. Once a given set of tunables are changed from the legacy
+default behavior, the ``ceph-mon`` and ``ceph-osd`` will prevent older
+clients who do not support the new CRUSH features from connecting to
+the cluster.
+
+argonaut (legacy)
+-----------------
+
+The legacy CRUSH behavior used by argonaut and older releases works
+fine for most clusters, provided there are not too many OSDs that have
+been marked out.
+
+bobtail (CRUSH_TUNABLES2)
+-------------------------
+
+The bobtail tunable profile fixes a few key misbehaviors:
+
+ * For hierarchies with a small number of devices in the leaf buckets,
+ some PGs map to fewer than the desired number of replicas. This
+ commonly happens for hierarchies with "host" nodes with a small
+ number (1-3) of OSDs nested beneath each one.
+
+ * For large clusters, some small percentages of PGs map to less than
+ the desired number of OSDs. This is more prevalent when there are
+ several layers of the hierarchy (e.g., row, rack, host, osd).
+
+ * When some OSDs are marked out, the data tends to get redistributed
+ to nearby OSDs instead of across the entire hierarchy.
+
+The new tunables are:
+
+ * ``choose_local_tries``: Number of local retries. Legacy value is
+ 2, optimal value is 0.
+
+ * ``choose_local_fallback_tries``: Legacy value is 5, optimal value
+ is 0.
+
+ * ``choose_total_tries``: Total number of attempts to choose an item.
+ Legacy value was 19, subsequent testing indicates that a value of
+ 50 is more appropriate for typical clusters. For extremely large
+ clusters, a larger value might be necessary.
+
+ * ``chooseleaf_descend_once``: Whether a recursive chooseleaf attempt
+ will retry, or only try once and allow the original placement to
+ retry. Legacy default is 0, optimal value is 1.
+
+Migration impact:
+
+ * Moving from argonaut to bobtail tunables triggers a moderate amount
+ of data movement. Use caution on a cluster that is already
+ populated with data.
+
+firefly (CRUSH_TUNABLES3)
+-------------------------
+
+The firefly tunable profile fixes a problem
+with the ``chooseleaf`` CRUSH rule behavior that tends to result in PG
+mappings with too few results when too many OSDs have been marked out.
+
+The new tunable is:
+
+ * ``chooseleaf_vary_r``: Whether a recursive chooseleaf attempt will
+ start with a non-zero value of r, based on how many attempts the
+ parent has already made. Legacy default is 0, but with this value
+ CRUSH is sometimes unable to find a mapping. The optimal value (in
+ terms of computational cost and correctness) is 1.
+
+Migration impact:
+
+ * For existing clusters that have lots of existing data, changing
+ from 0 to 1 will cause a lot of data to move; a value of 4 or 5
+ will allow CRUSH to find a valid mapping but will make less data
+ move.
+
+straw_calc_version tunable (introduced with Firefly too)
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+There were some problems with the internal weights calculated and
+stored in the CRUSH map for ``straw`` buckets. Specifically, when
+there were items with a CRUSH weight of 0 or both a mix of weights and
+some duplicated weights CRUSH would distribute data incorrectly (i.e.,
+not in proportion to the weights).
+
+The new tunable is:
+
+ * ``straw_calc_version``: A value of 0 preserves the old, broken
+ internal weight calculation; a value of 1 fixes the behavior.
+
+Migration impact:
+
+ * Moving to straw_calc_version 1 and then adjusting a straw bucket
+ (by adding, removing, or reweighting an item, or by using the
+ reweight-all command) can trigger a small to moderate amount of
+ data movement *if* the cluster has hit one of the problematic
+ conditions.
+
+This tunable option is special because it has absolutely no impact
+concerning the required kernel version in the client side.
+
+hammer (CRUSH_V4)
+-----------------
+
+The hammer tunable profile does not affect the
+mapping of existing CRUSH maps simply by changing the profile. However:
+
+ * There is a new bucket type (``straw2``) supported. The new
+ ``straw2`` bucket type fixes several limitations in the original
+ ``straw`` bucket. Specifically, the old ``straw`` buckets would
+ change some mappings that should have changed when a weight was
+ adjusted, while ``straw2`` achieves the original goal of only
+ changing mappings to or from the bucket item whose weight has
+ changed.
+
+ * ``straw2`` is the default for any newly created buckets.
+
+Migration impact:
+
+ * Changing a bucket type from ``straw`` to ``straw2`` will result in
+ a reasonably small amount of data movement, depending on how much
+ the bucket item weights vary from each other. When the weights are
+ all the same no data will move, and when item weights vary
+ significantly there will be more movement.
+
+jewel (CRUSH_TUNABLES5)
+-----------------------
+
+The jewel tunable profile improves the
+overall behavior of CRUSH such that significantly fewer mappings
+change when an OSD is marked out of the cluster.
+
+The new tunable is:
+
+ * ``chooseleaf_stable``: Whether a recursive chooseleaf attempt will
+ use a better value for an inner loop that greatly reduces the number
+ of mapping changes when an OSD is marked out. The legacy value is 0,
+ while the new value of 1 uses the new approach.
+
+Migration impact:
+
+ * Changing this value on an existing cluster will result in a very
+ large amount of data movement as almost every PG mapping is likely
+ to change.
+
+
+
+
+Which client versions support CRUSH_TUNABLES
+--------------------------------------------
+
+ * argonaut series, v0.48.1 or later
+ * v0.49 or later
+ * Linux kernel version v3.6 or later (for the file system and RBD kernel clients)
+
+Which client versions support CRUSH_TUNABLES2
+---------------------------------------------
+
+ * v0.55 or later, including bobtail series (v0.56.x)
+ * Linux kernel version v3.9 or later (for the file system and RBD kernel clients)
+
+Which client versions support CRUSH_TUNABLES3
+---------------------------------------------
+
+ * v0.78 (firefly) or later
+ * Linux kernel version v3.15 or later (for the file system and RBD kernel clients)
+
+Which client versions support CRUSH_V4
+--------------------------------------
+
+ * v0.94 (hammer) or later
+ * Linux kernel version v4.1 or later (for the file system and RBD kernel clients)
+
+Which client versions support CRUSH_TUNABLES5
+---------------------------------------------
+
+ * v10.0.2 (jewel) or later
+ * Linux kernel version v4.5 or later (for the file system and RBD kernel clients)
+
+Warning when tunables are non-optimal
+-------------------------------------
+
+Starting with version v0.74, Ceph will issue a health warning if the
+current CRUSH tunables don't include all the optimal values from the
+``default`` profile (see below for the meaning of the ``default`` profile).
+To make this warning go away, you have two options:
+
+1. Adjust the tunables on the existing cluster. Note that this will
+ result in some data movement (possibly as much as 10%). This is the
+ preferred route, but should be taken with care on a production cluster
+ where the data movement may affect performance. You can enable optimal
+ tunables with::
+
+ ceph osd crush tunables optimal
+
+ If things go poorly (e.g., too much load) and not very much
+ progress has been made, or there is a client compatibility problem
+ (old kernel cephfs or rbd clients, or pre-bobtail librados
+ clients), you can switch back with::
+
+ ceph osd crush tunables legacy
+
+2. You can make the warning go away without making any changes to CRUSH by
+ adding the following option to your ceph.conf ``[mon]`` section::
+
+ mon warn on legacy crush tunables = false
+
+ For the change to take effect, you will need to restart the monitors, or
+ apply the option to running monitors with::
+
+ ceph tell mon.\* injectargs --no-mon-warn-on-legacy-crush-tunables
+
+
+A few important points
+----------------------
+
+ * Adjusting these values will result in the shift of some PGs between
+ storage nodes. If the Ceph cluster is already storing a lot of
+ data, be prepared for some fraction of the data to move.
+ * The ``ceph-osd`` and ``ceph-mon`` daemons will start requiring the
+ feature bits of new connections as soon as they get
+ the updated map. However, already-connected clients are
+ effectively grandfathered in, and will misbehave if they do not
+ support the new feature.
+ * If the CRUSH tunables are set to non-legacy values and then later
+ changed back to the defult values, ``ceph-osd`` daemons will not be
+ required to support the feature. However, the OSD peering process
+ requires examining and understanding old maps. Therefore, you
+ should not run old versions of the ``ceph-osd`` daemon
+ if the cluster has previously used non-legacy CRUSH values, even if
+ the latest version of the map has been switched back to using the
+ legacy defaults.
+
+Tuning CRUSH
+------------
+
+The simplest way to adjust the crush tunables is by changing to a known
+profile. Those are:
+
+ * ``legacy``: the legacy behavior from argonaut and earlier.
+ * ``argonaut``: the legacy values supported by the original argonaut release
+ * ``bobtail``: the values supported by the bobtail release
+ * ``firefly``: the values supported by the firefly release
+ * ``hammer``: the values supported by the hammer release
+ * ``jewel``: the values supported by the jewel release
+ * ``optimal``: the best (ie optimal) values of the current version of Ceph
+ * ``default``: the default values of a new cluster installed from
+ scratch. These values, which depend on the current version of Ceph,
+ are hard coded and are generally a mix of optimal and legacy values.
+ These values generally match the ``optimal`` profile of the previous
+ LTS release, or the most recent release for which we generally except
+ more users to have up to date clients for.
+
+You can select a profile on a running cluster with the command::
+
+ ceph osd crush tunables {PROFILE}
+
+Note that this may result in some data movement.

+
+
+Primary Affinity
+================
+
+When a Ceph Client reads or writes data, it always contacts the primary OSD in
+the acting set. For set ``[2, 3, 4]``, ``osd.2`` is the primary. Sometimes an
+OSD is not well suited to act as a primary compared to other OSDs (e.g., it has
+a slow disk or a slow controller). To prevent performance bottlenecks
+(especially on read operations) while maximizing utilization of your hardware,
+you can set a Ceph OSD's primary affinity so that CRUSH is less likely to use
+the OSD as a primary in an acting set. ::
+
+ ceph osd primary-affinity <osd-id> <weight>
+
+Primary affinity is ``1`` by default (*i.e.,* an OSD may act as a primary). You
+may set the OSD primary range from ``0-1``, where ``0`` means that the OSD may
+**NOT** be used as a primary and ``1`` means that an OSD may be used as a
+primary. When the weight is ``< 1``, it is less likely that CRUSH will select
+the Ceph OSD Daemon to act as a primary.

+=========================
+ Data Placement Overview
+=========================
+
+Ceph stores, replicates and rebalances data objects across a RADOS cluster
+dynamically. With many different users storing objects in different pools for
+different purposes on countless OSDs, Ceph operations require some data
+placement planning. The main data placement planning concepts in Ceph include:
+
+- **Pools:** Ceph stores data within pools, which are logical groups for storing
+ objects. Pools manage the number of placement groups, the number of replicas,
+ and the ruleset for the pool. To store data in a pool, you must have
+ an authenticated user with permissions for the pool. Ceph can snapshot pools.
+ See `Pools`_ for additional details.
+
+- **Placement Groups:** Ceph maps objects to placement groups (PGs).
+ Placement groups (PGs) are shards or fragments of a logical object pool
+ that place objects as a group into OSDs. Placement groups reduce the amount
+ of per-object metadata when Ceph stores the data in OSDs. A larger number of
+ placement groups (e.g., 100 per OSD) leads to better balancing. See
+ `Placement Groups`_ for additional details.
+
+- **CRUSH Maps:** CRUSH is a big part of what allows Ceph to scale without
+ performance bottlenecks, without limitations to scalability, and without a
+ single point of failure. CRUSH maps provide the physical topology of the
+ cluster to the CRUSH algorithm to determine where the data for an object
+ and its replicas should be stored, and how to do so across failure domains
+ for added data safety among other things. See `CRUSH Maps`_ for additional
+ details.
+
+When you initially set up a test cluster, you can use the default values. Once
+you begin planning for a large Ceph cluster, refer to pools, placement groups
+and CRUSH for data placement operations.

+======================================
+Locally repairable erasure code plugin
+======================================
+
+With the *jerasure* plugin, when an erasure coded object is stored on
+multiple OSDs, recovering from the loss of one OSD requires reading
+from all the others. For instance if *jerasure* is configured with
+*k=8* and *m=4*, losing one OSD requires reading from the eleven
+others to repair.
+
+The *lrc* erasure code plugin creates local parity chunks to be able
+to recover using less OSDs. For instance if *lrc* is configured with
+*k=8*, *m=4* and *l=4*, it will create an additional parity chunk for
+every four OSDs. When a single OSD is lost, it can be recovered with
+only four OSDs instead of eleven.
+
+Erasure code profile examples
+=============================
+
+Reduce recovery bandwidth between hosts
+---------------------------------------
+
+Although it is probably not an interesting use case when all hosts are
+connected to the same switch, reduced bandwidth usage can actually be
+observed.::

+
+In Firefly the reduced bandwidth will only be observed if the primary
+OSD is in the same rack as the lost chunk.::

+
+Create an lrc profile
+=====================
+
+To create a new lrc erasure code profile::
+
+ ceph osd erasure-code-profile set {name} \

+ k={data-chunks} \
+ m={coding-chunks} \

+Where:
+
+``k={data chunks}``
+
+:Description: Each object is split in **data-chunks** parts,
+ each stored on a different OSD.
+
+:Type: Integer
+:Required: Yes.
+:Example: 4
+
+``m={coding-chunks}``
+
+:Description: Compute **coding chunks** for each object and store them

+
+``l={locality}``
+
+:Description: Group the coding and data chunks into sets of size
+ **locality**. For instance, for **k=4** and **m=2**,
+ when **locality=3** two groups of three are created.
+ Each set can be recovered without reading chunks
+ from another set.
+
+:Type: Integer

+
+:Description: The type of the crush bucket in which each set of chunks
+ defined by **l** will be stored. For instance, if it is

+ placed in a different rack. It is used to create a
+ ruleset step such as **step choose rack**. If it is not
+ set, no such grouping is done.
+
+:Type: String
+:Required: No.
+
+``crush-failure-domain={bucket-type}``
+
+:Description: Ensure that no two chunks are in a bucket with the same

+ **host** no two chunks will be stored on the same
+ host. It is used to create a ruleset step such as **step
+ chooseleaf host**.
+

+
+``--force``
+
+:Description: Override an existing profile by the same name.
+
+:Type: String
+:Required: No.
+
+Low level plugin configuration
+==============================
+
+The sum of **k** and **m** must be a multiple of the **l** parameter.
+The low level configuration parameters do not impose such a
+restriction and it may be more convienient to use it for specific
+purposes. It is for instance possible to define two groups, one with 4
+chunks and another with 3 chunks. It is also possible to recursively
+define locality sets, for instance datacenters and racks into
+datacenters. The **k/m/l** are implemented by generating a low level
+configuration.
+
+The *lrc* erasure code plugin recursively applies erasure code
+techniques so that recovering from the loss of some chunks only
+requires a subset of the available chunks, most of the time.
+
+For instance, when three coding steps are described as::
+
+ chunk nr 01234567
+ step 1 _cDD_cDD
+ step 2 cDDD____
+ step 3 ____cDDD
+
+where *c* are coding chunks calculated from the data chunks *D*, the
+loss of chunk *7* can be recovered with the last four chunks. And the
+loss of chunk *2* chunk can be recovered with the first four
+chunks.
+
+Erasure code profile examples using low level configuration
+===========================================================
+
+Minimal testing
+---------------
+
+It is strictly equivalent to using the default erasure code profile. The *DD*
+implies *K=2*, the *c* implies *M=1* and the *jerasure* plugin is used
+by default.::
+
+ $ ceph osd erasure-code-profile set LRCprofile \
+ plugin=lrc \
+ mapping=DD_ \
+ layers='[ [ "DDc", "" ] ]'
+ $ ceph osd pool create lrcpool 12 12 erasure LRCprofile
+
+Reduce recovery bandwidth between hosts
+---------------------------------------
+
+Although it is probably not an interesting use case when all hosts are
+connected to the same switch, reduced bandwidth usage can actually be
+observed. It is equivalent to **k=4**, **m=2** and **l=3** although
+the layout of the chunks is different::
+
+ $ ceph osd erasure-code-profile set LRCprofile \
+ plugin=lrc \
+ mapping=__DD__DD \
+ layers='[
+ [ "_cDD_cDD", "" ],
+ [ "cDDD____", "" ],
+ [ "____cDDD", "" ],
+ ]'
+ $ ceph osd pool create lrcpool 12 12 erasure LRCprofile
+
+
+Reduce recovery bandwidth between racks
+---------------------------------------
+
+In Firefly the reduced bandwidth will only be observed if the primary
+OSD is in the same rack as the lost chunk.::
+
+ $ ceph osd erasure-code-profile set LRCprofile \
+ plugin=lrc \
+ mapping=__DD__DD \
+ layers='[
+ [ "_cDD_cDD", "" ],
+ [ "cDDD____", "" ],
+ [ "____cDDD", "" ],
+ ]' \
+ crush-steps='[
+ [ "choose", "rack", 2 ],
+ [ "chooseleaf", "host", 4 ],
+ ]'
+ $ ceph osd pool create lrcpool 12 12 erasure LRCprofile
+
+Testing with different Erasure Code backends
+--------------------------------------------
+
+LRC now uses jerasure as the default EC backend. It is possible to
+specify the EC backend/algorithm on a per layer basis using the low
+level configuration. The second argument in layers='[ [ "DDc", "" ] ]'
+is actually an erasure code profile to be used for this level. The
+example below specifies the ISA backend with the cauchy technique to
+be used in the lrcpool.::
+
+ $ ceph osd erasure-code-profile set LRCprofile \
+ plugin=lrc \
+ mapping=DD_ \
+ layers='[ [ "DDc", "plugin=isa technique=cauchy" ] ]'
+ $ ceph osd pool create lrcpool 12 12 erasure LRCprofile
+
+You could also use a different erasure code profile for for each
+layer.::
+
+ $ ceph osd erasure-code-profile set LRCprofile \
+ plugin=lrc \
+ mapping=__DD__DD \
+ layers='[
+ [ "_cDD_cDD", "plugin=isa technique=cauchy" ],
+ [ "cDDD____", "plugin=isa" ],
+ [ "____cDDD", "plugin=jerasure" ],
+ ]'
+ $ ceph osd pool create lrcpool 12 12 erasure LRCprofile
+
+
+
+Erasure coding and decoding algorithm
+=====================================
+
+The steps found in the layers description::
+
+ chunk nr 01234567
+
+ step 1 _cDD_cDD
+ step 2 cDDD____
+ step 3 ____cDDD
+
+are applied in order. For instance, if a 4K object is encoded, it will
+first go thru *step 1* and be divided in four 1K chunks (the four
+uppercase D). They are stored in the chunks 2, 3, 6 and 7, in
+order. From these, two coding chunks are calculated (the two lowercase
+c). The coding chunks are stored in the chunks 1 and 5, respectively.
+
+The *step 2* re-uses the content created by *step 1* in a similar
+fashion and stores a single coding chunk *c* at position 0. The last four
+chunks, marked with an underscore (*_*) for readability, are ignored.
+
+The *step 3* stores a single coding chunk *c* at position 4. The three
+chunks created by *step 1* are used to compute this coding chunk,
+i.e. the coding chunk from *step 1* becomes a data chunk in *step 3*.
+
+If chunk *2* is lost::
+
+ chunk nr 01234567
+
+ step 1 _c D_cDD
+ step 2 cD D____
+ step 3 __ _cDDD
+
+decoding will attempt to recover it by walking the steps in reverse
+order: *step 3* then *step 2* and finally *step 1*.
+
+The *step 3* knows nothing about chunk *2* (i.e. it is an underscore)
+and is skipped.
+
+The coding chunk from *step 2*, stored in chunk *0*, allows it to
+recover the content of chunk *2*. There are no more chunks to recover
+and the process stops, without considering *step 1*.
+
+Recovering chunk *2* requires reading chunks *0, 1, 3* and writing
+back chunk *2*.
+
+If chunk *2, 3, 6* are lost::
+
+ chunk nr 01234567
+
+ step 1 _c _c D
+ step 2 cD __ _
+ step 3 __ cD D
+
+The *step 3* can recover the content of chunk *6*::
+
+ chunk nr 01234567
+
+ step 1 _c _cDD
+ step 2 cD ____
+ step 3 __ cDDD
+
+The *step 2* fails to recover and is skipped because there are two
+chunks missing (*2, 3*) and it can only recover from one missing
+chunk.
+
+The coding chunk from *step 1*, stored in chunk *1, 5*, allows it to
+recover the content of chunk *2, 3*::
+
+ chunk nr 01234567
+
+ step 1 _cDD_cDD
+ step 2 cDDD____
+ step 3 ____cDDD
+
+Controlling crush placement
+===========================
+
+The default crush ruleset provides OSDs that are on different hosts. For instance::
+
+ chunk nr 01234567
+
+ step 1 _cDD_cDD
+ step 2 cDDD____
+ step 3 ____cDDD
+
+needs exactly *8* OSDs, one for each chunk. If the hosts are in two
+adjacent racks, the first four chunks can be placed in the first rack
+and the last four in the second rack. So that recovering from the loss
+of a single OSD does not require using bandwidth between the two
+racks.
+
+For instance::
+
+ crush-steps='[ [ "choose", "rack", 2 ], [ "chooseleaf", "host", 4 ] ]'
+
+will create a ruleset that will select two crush buckets of type
+*rack* and for each of them choose four OSDs, each of them located in
+different buckets of type *host*.
+
+The ruleset can also be manually crafted for finer control.

+=====================
+Erasure code profiles
+=====================
+
+Erasure code is defined by a **profile** and is used when creating an
+erasure coded pool and the associated crush ruleset.
+
+The **default** erasure code profile (which is created when the Ceph
+cluster is initialized) provides the same level of redundancy as two
+copies but requires 25% less disk space. It is described as a profile
+with **k=2** and **m=1**, meaning the information is spread over three
+OSD (k+m == 3) and one of them can be lost.
+
+To improve redundancy without increasing raw storage requirements, a
+new profile can be created. For instance, a profile with **k=10** and
+**m=4** can sustain the loss of four (**m=4**) OSDs by distributing an
+object on fourteen (k+m=14) OSDs. The object is first divided in
+**10** chunks (if the object is 10MB, each chunk is 1MB) and **4**
+coding chunks are computed, for recovery (each coding chunk has the
+same size as the data chunk, i.e. 1MB). The raw space overhead is only
+40% and the object will not be lost even if four OSDs break at the
+same time.

+Brief description of SHEC's layouts
+===================================
+
+Space Efficiency
+----------------
+
+Space efficiency is a ratio of data chunks to all ones in a object and
+represented as k/(k+m).
+In order to improve space efficiency, you should increase k or decrease m.
+
+::
+
+ space efficiency of SHEC(4,3,2) = 4/(4+3) = 0.57
+ SHEC(5,3,2) or SHEC(4,2,2) improves SHEC(4,3,2)'s space efficiency
+
+Durability
+----------
+
+The third parameter of SHEC (=c) is a durability estimator, which approximates
+the number of OSDs that can be down without losing data.
+
+``durability estimator of SHEC(4,3,2) = 2``
+
+Recovery Efficiency
+-------------------
+
+Describing calculation of recovery efficiency is beyond the scope of this document,
+but at least increasing m without increasing c achieves improvement of recovery efficiency.
+(However, we must pay attention to the sacrifice of space efficiency in this case.)
+
+``SHEC(4,2,2) -> SHEC(4,3,2) : achieves improvement of recovery efficiency``

+=============
+ Erasure code
+=============
+
+A Ceph pool is associated to a type to sustain the loss of an OSD
+(i.e. a disk since most of the time there is one OSD per disk). The
+default choice when `creating a pool <../pools>`_ is *replicated*,
+meaning every object is copied on multiple disks. The `Erasure Code
+<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasure_code>`_ pool type can be used
+instead to save space.
+
+Creating a sample erasure coded pool
+------------------------------------
+
+The simplest erasure coded pool is equivalent to `RAID5
+<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels#RAID_5>`_ and
+requires at least three hosts::
+
+ $ ceph osd pool create ecpool 12 12 erasure
+ pool 'ecpool' created
+ $ echo ABCDEFGHI | rados --pool ecpool put NYAN -
+ $ rados --pool ecpool get NYAN -
+ ABCDEFGHI
+
+.. note:: the 12 in *pool create* stands for
+ `the number of placement groups <../pools>`_.
+
+Erasure code profiles
+---------------------
+
+The default erasure code profile sustains the loss of a single OSD. It
+is equivalent to a replicated pool of size two but requires 1.5TB
+instead of 2TB to store 1TB of data. The default profile can be
+displayed with::
+
+ $ ceph osd erasure-code-profile get default
+ k=2
+ m=1
+ plugin=jerasure
+ crush-failure-domain=host
+ technique=reed_sol_van
+
+Choosing the right profile is important because it cannot be modified
+after the pool is created: a new pool with a different profile needs
+to be created and all objects from the previous pool moved to the new.
+
+The most important parameters of the profile are *K*, *M* and
+*crush-failure-domain* because they define the storage overhead and
+the data durability. For instance, if the desired architecture must
+sustain the loss of two racks with a storage overhead of 40% overhead,
+the following profile can be defined::
+
+ $ ceph osd erasure-code-profile set myprofile \
+ k=3 \
+ m=2 \
+ crush-failure-domain=rack
+ $ ceph osd pool create ecpool 12 12 erasure myprofile
+ $ echo ABCDEFGHI | rados --pool ecpool put NYAN -
+ $ rados --pool ecpool get NYAN -
+ ABCDEFGHI
+
+The *NYAN* object will be divided in three (*K=3*) and two additional
+*chunks* will be created (*M=2*). The value of *M* defines how many
+OSD can be lost simultaneously without losing any data. The
+*crush-failure-domain=rack* will create a CRUSH ruleset that ensures
+no two *chunks* are stored in the same rack.

+
+Erasure Coding with Overwrites
+------------------------------
+
+By default, erasure coded pools only work with uses like RGW that
+perform full object writes and appends.
+
+Since Luminous, partial writes for an erasure coded pool may be
+enabled with a per-pool setting. This lets RBD and Cephfs store their
+data in an erasure coded pool::
+
+ ceph osd pool set ec_pool allow_ec_overwrites true
+
+This can only be enabled on a pool residing on bluestore OSDs, since
+bluestore's checksumming is used to detect bitrot or other corruption
+during deep-scrub. In addition to being unsafe, using filestore with
+ec overwrites yields low performance compared to bluestore.
+
+Erasure coded pools do not support omap, so to use them with RBD and
+Cephfs you must instruct them to store their data in an ec pool, and
+their metadata in a replicated pool. For RBD, this means using the
+erasure coded pool as the ``--data-pool`` during image creation::
+
+ rbd create --size 1G --data-pool ec_pool replicated_pool/image_name
+
+For Cephfs, using an erasure coded pool means setting that pool in
+a `file layout <../../../cephfs/file-layouts>`_.
+
+
+Erasure coded pool and cache tiering
+------------------------------------
+
+Erasure coded pools require more resources than replicated pools and
+lack some functionalities such as omap. To overcome these
+limitations, one can set up a `cache tier <../cache-tiering>`_
+before the erasure coded pool.
+
+For instance, if the pool *hot-storage* is made of fast storage::
+
+ $ ceph osd tier add ecpool hot-storage
+ $ ceph osd tier cache-mode hot-storage writeback
+ $ ceph osd tier set-overlay ecpool hot-storage
+
+will place the *hot-storage* pool as tier of *ecpool* in *writeback*
+mode so that every write and read to the *ecpool* are actually using
+the *hot-storage* and benefit from its flexibility and speed.
+
+More information can be found in the `cache tiering
+<../cache-tiering>`_ documentation.
+
+Glossary
+--------
+
+*chunk*
+ when the encoding function is called, it returns chunks of the same
+ size. Data chunks which can be concatenated to reconstruct the original
+ object and coding chunks which can be used to rebuild a lost chunk.
+
+*K*
+ the number of data *chunks*, i.e. the number of *chunks* in which the
+ original object is divided. For instance if *K* = 2 a 10KB object
+ will be divided into *K* objects of 5KB each.
+
+*M*
+ the number of coding *chunks*, i.e. the number of additional *chunks*
+ computed by the encoding functions. If there are 2 coding *chunks*,
+ it means 2 OSDs can be out without losing data.

+Health checks
+=============
+
+Overview
+========
+
+There is a finite set of possible health messages that a Ceph cluster can
+raise -- these are defined as *health checks* which have unique identifiers.
+
+The identifier is a terse pseudo-human-readable (i.e. like a variable name)
+string. It is intended to enable tools (such as UIs) to make sense of
+health checks, and present them in a way that reflects their meaning.
+
+This page lists the health checks that are raised by the monitor and manager
+daemons. In addition to these, you may also see health checks that originate
+from MDS daemons (see :doc:`/cephfs/health-messages`), and health checks
+that are defined by ceph-mgr python modules.
+
+Definitions
+===========
+
+
+OSDs
+----
+
+OSD_DOWN
+________
+
+One or more OSDs are marked down. The ceph-osd daemon may have been
+stopped, or peer OSDs may be unable to reach the OSD over the network.
+Common causes include a stopped or crashed daemon, a down host, or a
+network outage.
+
+Verify the host is healthy, the daemon is started, and network is
+functioning. If the daemon has crashed, the daemon log file
+(``/var/log/ceph/ceph-osd.*``) may contain debugging information.
+
+OSD_<crush type>_DOWN
+_____________________
+
+(e.g. OSD_HOST_DOWN, OSD_ROOT_DOWN)
+
+All the OSDs within a particular CRUSH subtree are marked down, for example
+all OSDs on a host.
+
+OSD_ORPHAN
+__________
+
+An OSD is referenced in the CRUSH map hierarchy but does not exist.
+
+The OSD can be removed from the CRUSH hierarchy with::
+
+ ceph osd crush rm osd.<id>
+
+OSD_OUT_OF_ORDER_FULL
+_____________________
+
+The utilization thresholds for `backfillfull`, `nearfull`, `full`,
+and/or `failsafe_full` are not ascending. In particular, we expect
+`backfillfull < nearfull`, `nearfull < full`, and `full <
+failsafe_full`.
+
+The thresholds can be adjusted with::
+
+ ceph osd set-backfillfull-ratio <ratio>
+ ceph osd set-nearfull-ratio <ratio>
+ ceph osd set-full-ratio <ratio>
+
+
+OSD_FULL
+________
+
+One or more OSDs has exceeded the `full` threshold and is preventing
+the cluster from servicing writes.
+
+Utilization by pool can be checked with::
+
+ ceph df
+
+The currently defined `full` ratio can be seen with::
+
+ ceph osd dump | grep full_ratio
+
+A short-term workaround to restore write availability is to raise the full
+threshold by a small amount::
+
+ ceph osd set-full-ratio <ratio>
+
+New storage should be added to the cluster by deploying more OSDs or
+existing data should be deleted in order to free up space.
+
+OSD_BACKFILLFULL
+________________
+
+One or more OSDs has exceeded the `backfillfull` threshold, which will
+prevent data from being allowed to rebalance to this device. This is
+an early warning that rebalancing may not be able to complete and that
+the cluster is approaching full.
+
+Utilization by pool can be checked with::
+
+ ceph df
+
+OSD_NEARFULL
+____________
+
+One or more OSDs has exceeded the `nearfull` threshold. This is an early
+warning that the cluster is approaching full.
+
+Utilization by pool can be checked with::
+
+ ceph df
+
+OSDMAP_FLAGS
+____________
+
+One or more cluster flags of interest has been set. These flags include:
+
+* *full* - the cluster is flagged as full and cannot service writes
+* *pauserd*, *pausewr* - paused reads or writes
+* *noup* - OSDs are not allowed to start
+* *nodown* - OSD failure reports are being ignored, such that the
+ monitors will not mark OSDs `down`
+* *noin* - OSDs that were previously marked `out` will not be marked
+ back `in` when they start
+* *noout* - down OSDs will not automatically be marked out after the
+ configured interval
+* *nobackfill*, *norecover*, *norebalance* - recovery or data
+ rebalancing is suspended
+* *noscrub*, *nodeep_scrub* - scrubbing is disabled
+* *notieragent* - cache tiering activity is suspended
+
+With the exception of *full*, these flags can be set or cleared with::
+
+ ceph osd set <flag>
+ ceph osd unset <flag>
+
+OSD_FLAGS
+_________
+
+One or more OSDs has a per-OSD flag of interest set. These flags include:
+
+* *noup*: OSD is not allowed to start
+* *nodown*: failure reports for this OSD will be ignored
+* *noin*: if this OSD was previously marked `out` automatically
+ after a failure, it will not be marked in when it stats
+* *noout*: if this OSD is down it will not automatically be marked
+ `out` after the configured interval
+
+Per-OSD flags can be set and cleared with::
+
+ ceph osd add-<flag> <osd-id>
+ ceph osd rm-<flag> <osd-id>
+
+For example, ::
+
+ ceph osd rm-nodown osd.123
+
+OLD_CRUSH_TUNABLES
+__________________
+
+The CRUSH map is using very old settings and should be updated. The
+oldest tunables that can be used (i.e., the oldest client version that
+can connect to the cluster) without triggering this health warning is
+determined by the ``mon_crush_min_required_version`` config option.
+See :doc:`/rados/operations/crush-map/#tunables` for more information.
+
+OLD_CRUSH_STRAW_CALC_VERSION
+____________________________
+
+The CRUSH map is using an older, non-optimal method for calculating
+intermediate weight values for ``straw`` buckets.
+
+The CRUSH map should be updated to use the newer method
+(``straw_calc_version=1``). See
+:doc:`/rados/operations/crush-map/#tunables` for more information.
+
+CACHE_POOL_NO_HIT_SET
+_____________________
+
+One or more cache pools is not configured with a *hit set* to track
+utilization, which will prevent the tiering agent from identifying
+cold objects to flush and evict from the cache.
+
+Hit sets can be configured on the cache pool with::
+
+ ceph osd pool set <poolname> hit_set_type <type>
+ ceph osd pool set <poolname> hit_set_period <period-in-seconds>
+ ceph osd pool set <poolname> hit_set_count <number-of-hitsets>
+ ceph osd pool set <poolname> hit_set_fpp <target-false-positive-rate>
+
+OSD_NO_SORTBITWISE
+__________________
+
+No pre-luminous v12.y.z OSDs are running but the ``sortbitwise`` flag has not
+been set.
+
+The ``sortbitwise`` flag must be set before luminous v12.y.z or newer
+OSDs can start. You can safely set the flag with::
+
+ ceph osd set sortbitwise
+
+POOL_FULL
+_________
+
+One or more pools has reached its quota and is no longer allowing writes.
+
+Pool quotas and utilization can be seen with::
+
+ ceph df detail
+
+You can either raise the pool quota with::
+
+ ceph osd pool set-quota <poolname> max_objects <num-objects>
+ ceph osd pool set-quota <poolname> max_bytes <num-bytes>
+
+or delete some existing data to reduce utilization.
+
+
+Data health (pools & placement groups)
+--------------------------------------
+
+PG_AVAILABILITY
+_______________
+
+Data availability is reduced, meaning that the cluster is unable to
+service potential read or write requests for some data in the cluster.
+Specifically, one or more PGs is in a state that does not allow IO
+requests to be serviced. Problematic PG states include *peering*,
+*stale*, *incomplete*, and the lack of *active* (if those conditions do not clear
+quickly).
+
+Detailed information about which PGs are affected is available from::
+
+ ceph health detail
+
+In most cases the root cause is that one or more OSDs is currently
+down; see the dicussion for ``OSD_DOWN`` above.
+
+The state of specific problematic PGs can be queried with::
+
+ ceph tell <pgid> query
+
+PG_DEGRADED
+___________
+
+Data redundancy is reduced for some data, meaning the cluster does not
+have the desired number of replicas for all data (for replicated
+pools) or erasure code fragments (for erasure coded pools).
+Specifically, one or more PGs:
+
+* has the *degraded* or *undersized* flag set, meaning there are not
+ enough instances of that placement group in the cluster;
+* has not had the *clean* flag set for some time.
+
+Detailed information about which PGs are affected is available from::
+
+ ceph health detail
+
+In most cases the root cause is that one or more OSDs is currently
+down; see the dicussion for ``OSD_DOWN`` above.
+
+The state of specific problematic PGs can be queried with::
+
+ ceph tell <pgid> query
+
+
+PG_DEGRADED_FULL
+________________
+
+Data redundancy may be reduced or at risk for some data due to a lack
+of free space in the cluster. Specifically, one or more PGs has the
+*backfill_toofull* or *recovery_toofull* flag set, meaning that the
+cluster is unable to migrate or recover data because one or more OSDs
+is above the *backfillfull* threshold.
+
+See the discussion for *OSD_BACKFILLFULL* or *OSD_FULL* above for
+steps to resolve this condition.
+
+PG_DAMAGED
+__________
+
+Data scrubbing has discovered some problems with data consistency in
+the cluster. Specifically, one or more PGs has the *inconsistent* or
+*snaptrim_error* flag is set, indicating an earlier scrub operation
+found a problem, or that the *repair* flag is set, meaning a repair
+for such an inconsistency is currently in progress.
+
+See :doc:`pg-repair` for more information.
+
+OSD_SCRUB_ERRORS
+________________
+
+Recent OSD scrubs have uncovered inconsistencies. This error is generally
+paired with *PG_DAMANGED* (see above).
+
+See :doc:`pg-repair` for more information.
+
+CACHE_POOL_NEAR_FULL
+____________________
+
+A cache tier pool is nearly full. Full in this context is determined
+by the ``target_max_bytes`` and ``target_max_objects`` properties on
+the cache pool. Once the pool reaches the target threshold, write
+requests to the pool may block while data is flushed and evicted
+from the cache, a state that normally leads to very high latencies and
+poor performance.
+
+The cache pool target size can be adjusted with::
+
+ ceph osd pool set <cache-pool-name> target_max_bytes <bytes>
+ ceph osd pool set <cache-pool-name> target_max_objects <objects>
+
+Normal cache flush and evict activity may also be throttled due to reduced
+availability or performance of the base tier, or overall cluster load.
+
+TOO_FEW_PGS
+___________
+
+The number of PGs in use in the cluster is below the configurable
+threshold of ``mon_pg_warn_min_per_osd`` PGs per OSD. This can lead
+to suboptimizal distribution and balance of data across the OSDs in
+the cluster, and similar reduce overall performance.
+
+This may be an expected condition if data pools have not yet been
+created.
+
+The PG count for existing pools can be increased or new pools can be
+created. Please refer to
+:doc:`placement-groups#Choosing-the-number-of-Placement-Groups` for
+more information.
+
+TOO_MANY_PGS
+____________
+
+The number of PGs in use in the cluster is above the configurable
+threshold of ``mon_max_pg_per_osd`` PGs per OSD. If this threshold is
+exceed the cluster will not allow new pools to be created, pool `pg_num` to
+be increased, or pool replication to be increased (any of which would lead to
+more PGs in the cluster). A large number of PGs can lead
+to higher memory utilization for OSD daemons, slower peering after
+cluster state changes (like OSD restarts, additions, or removals), and
+higher load on the Manager and Monitor daemons.
+
+The simplest way to mitigate the problem is to increase the number of
+OSDs in the cluster by adding more hardware. Note that the OSD count
+used for the purposes of this health check is the number of "in" OSDs,
+so marking "out" OSDs "in" (if there are any) can also help::
+
+ ceph osd in <osd id(s)>
+
+Please refer to
+:doc:`placement-groups#Choosing-the-number-of-Placement-Groups` for
+more information.
+
+SMALLER_PGP_NUM
+_______________
+
+One or more pools has a ``pgp_num`` value less than ``pg_num``. This
+is normally an indication that the PG count was increased without
+also increasing the placement behavior.
+
+This is sometimes done deliberately to separate out the `split` step
+when the PG count is adjusted from the data migration that is needed
+when ``pgp_num`` is changed.
+
+This is normally resolved by setting ``pgp_num`` to match ``pg_num``,
+triggering the data migration, with::
+
+ ceph osd pool set <pool> pgp_num <pg-num-value>
+
+MANY_OBJECTS_PER_PG
+___________________
+
+One or more pools has an average number of objects per PG that is
+significantly higher than the overall cluster average. The specific
+threshold is controlled by the ``mon_pg_warn_max_object_skew``
+configuration value.
+
+This is usually an indication that the pool(s) containing most of the
+data in the cluster have too few PGs, and/or that other pools that do
+not contain as much data have too many PGs. See the discussion of
+*TOO_MANY_PGS* above.
+
+The threshold can be raised to silence the health warning by adjusting
+the ``mon_pg_warn_max_object_skew`` config option on the monitors.
+
+POOL_APP_NOT_ENABLED
+____________________
+
+A pool exists that contains one or more objects but has not been
+tagged for use by a particular application.
+
+Resolve this warning by labeling the pool for use by an application. For
+example, if the pool is used by RBD,::
+
+ rbd pool init <poolname>
+
+If the pool is being used by a custom application 'foo', you can also label
+via the low-level command::
+
+ ceph osd pool application enable foo
+
+For more information, see :doc:`pools.rst#associate-pool-to-application`.
+
+POOL_FULL
+_________
+
+One or more pools has reached (or is very close to reaching) its
+quota. The threshold to trigger this error condition is controlled by
+the ``mon_pool_quota_crit_threshold`` configuration option.
+
+Pool quotas can be adjusted up or down (or removed) with::
+
+ ceph osd pool set-quota <pool> max_bytes <bytes>
+ ceph osd pool set-quota <pool> max_objects <objects>
+
+Setting the quota value to 0 will disable the quota.
+
+POOL_NEAR_FULL
+______________
+
+One or more pools is approaching is quota. The threshold to trigger
+this warning condition is controlled by the
+``mon_pool_quota_warn_threshold`` configuration option.
+
+Pool quotas can be adjusted up or down (or removed) with::
+
+ ceph osd pool set-quota <pool> max_bytes <bytes>
+ ceph osd pool set-quota <pool> max_objects <objects>
+
+Setting the quota value to 0 will disable the quota.
+
+OBJECT_MISPLACED
+________________
+
+One or more objects in the cluster is not stored on the node the
+cluster would like it to be stored on. This is an indication that
+data migration due to some recent cluster change has not yet completed.
+
+Misplaced data is not a dangerous condition in and of itself; data
+consistency is never at risk, and old copies of objects are never
+removed until the desired number of new copies (in the desired
+locations) are present.
+
+OBJECT_UNFOUND
+______________
+
+One or more objects in the cluster cannot be found. Specifically, the
+OSDs know that a new or updated copy of an object should exist, but a
+copy of that version of the object has not been found on OSDs that are
+currently online.
+
+Read or write requests to unfound objects will block.
+
+Ideally, a down OSD can be brought back online that has the more
+recent copy of the unfound object. Candidate OSDs can be identified from the
+peering state for the PG(s) responsible for the unfound object::
+
+ ceph tell <pgid> query
+
+If the latest copy of the object is not available, the cluster can be
+told to roll back to a previous version of the object. See
+:doc:`troubleshooting-pg#Unfound-objects` for more information.
+
+REQUEST_SLOW
+____________
+
+One or more OSD requests is taking a long time to process. This can
+be an indication of extreme load, a slow storage device, or a software
+bug.
+
+The request queue on the OSD(s) in question can be queried with the
+following command, executed from the OSD host::
+
+ ceph daemon osd.<id> ops
+
+A summary of the slowest recent requests can be seen with::
+
+ ceph daemon osd.<id> dump_historic_ops
+
+The location of an OSD can be found with::
+
+ ceph osd find osd.<id>
+
+REQUEST_STUCK
+_____________
+
+One or more OSD requests has been blocked for an extremely long time.
+This is an indication that either the cluster has been unhealthy for
+an extended period of time (e.g., not enough running OSDs) or there is
+some internal problem with the OSD. See the dicussion of
+*REQUEST_SLOW* above.
+
+PG_NOT_SCRUBBED
+_______________
+
+One or more PGs has not been scrubbed recently. PGs are normally
+scrubbed every ``mon_scrub_interval`` seconds, and this warning
+triggers when ``mon_warn_not_scrubbed`` such intervals have elapsed
+without a scrub.
+
+PGs will not scrub if they are not flagged as *clean*, which may
+happen if they are misplaced or degraded (see *PG_AVAILABILITY* and
+*PG_DEGRADED* above).
+
+You can manually initiate a scrub of a clean PG with::
+
+ ceph pg scrub <pgid>
+
+PG_NOT_DEEP_SCRUBBED
+____________________
+
+One or more PGs has not been deep scrubbed recently. PGs are normally
+scrubbed every ``osd_deep_mon_scrub_interval`` seconds, and this warning
+triggers when ``mon_warn_not_deep_scrubbed`` such intervals have elapsed
+without a scrub.
+
+PGs will not (deep) scrub if they are not flagged as *clean*, which may
+happen if they are misplaced or degraded (see *PG_AVAILABILITY* and
+*PG_DEGRADED* above).
+
+You can manually initiate a scrub of a clean PG with::
+
+ ceph pg deep-scrub <pgid>

+=========================
+ Monitoring OSDs and PGs
+=========================
+
+High availability and high reliability require a fault-tolerant approach to
+managing hardware and software issues. Ceph has no single point-of-failure, and
+can service requests for data in a "degraded" mode. Ceph's `data placement`_
+introduces a layer of indirection to ensure that data doesn't bind directly to
+particular OSD addresses. This means that tracking down system faults requires
+finding the `placement group`_ and the underlying OSDs at root of the problem.
+
+.. tip:: A fault in one part of the cluster may prevent you from accessing a
+ particular object, but that doesn't mean that you cannot access other objects.
+ When you run into a fault, don't panic. Just follow the steps for monitoring
+ your OSDs and placement groups. Then, begin troubleshooting.
+
+Ceph is generally self-repairing. However, when problems persist, monitoring
+OSDs and placement groups will help you identify the problem.
+
+
+Monitoring OSDs
+===============
+
+An OSD's status is either in the cluster (``in``) or out of the cluster
+(``out``); and, it is either up and running (``up``), or it is down and not
+running (``down``). If an OSD is ``up``, it may be either ``in`` the cluster
+(you can read and write data) or it is ``out`` of the cluster. If it was
+``in`` the cluster and recently moved ``out`` of the cluster, Ceph will migrate
+placement groups to other OSDs. If an OSD is ``out`` of the cluster, CRUSH will
+not assign placement groups to the OSD. If an OSD is ``down``, it should also be
+``out``.
+
+.. note:: If an OSD is ``down`` and ``in``, there is a problem and the cluster

+
+If you execute a command such as ``ceph health``, ``ceph -s`` or ``ceph -w``,
+you may notice that the cluster does not always echo back ``HEALTH OK``. Don't
+panic. With respect to OSDs, you should expect that the cluster will **NOT**
+echo ``HEALTH OK`` in a few expected circumstances:
+
+#. You haven't started the cluster yet (it won't respond).
+#. You have just started or restarted the cluster and it's not ready yet,
+ because the placement groups are getting created and the OSDs are in
+ the process of peering.
+#. You just added or removed an OSD.
+#. You just have modified your cluster map.
+
+An important aspect of monitoring OSDs is to ensure that when the cluster
+is up and running that all OSDs that are ``in`` the cluster are ``up`` and
+running, too. To see if all OSDs are running, execute::
+
+ ceph osd stat
+
+The result should tell you the map epoch (eNNNN), the total number of OSDs (x),
+how many are ``up`` (y) and how many are ``in`` (z). ::
+
+ eNNNN: x osds: y up, z in
+
+If the number of OSDs that are ``in`` the cluster is more than the number of
+OSDs that are ``up``, execute the following command to identify the ``ceph-osd``
+daemons that are not running::
+
+ ceph osd tree
+
+::
+
+ dumped osdmap tree epoch 1

+ -3 2 rack dell-2950-rack-A
+ -2 2 host dell-2950-A1
+ 0 1 osd.0 up 1
+ 1 1 osd.1 down 1
+
+
+.. tip:: The ability to search through a well-designed CRUSH hierarchy may help
+ you troubleshoot your cluster by identifying the physcial locations faster.
+
+If an OSD is ``down``, start it::
+
+ sudo systemctl start ceph-osd@1
+
+See `OSD Not Running`_ for problems associated with OSDs that stopped, or won't
+restart.
+
+
+PG Sets
+=======
+
+When CRUSH assigns placement groups to OSDs, it looks at the number of replicas
+for the pool and assigns the placement group to OSDs such that each replica of
+the placement group gets assigned to a different OSD. For example, if the pool
+requires three replicas of a placement group, CRUSH may assign them to
+``osd.1``, ``osd.2`` and ``osd.3`` respectively. CRUSH actually seeks a
+pseudo-random placement that will take into account failure domains you set in
+your `CRUSH map`_, so you will rarely see placement groups assigned to nearest
+neighbor OSDs in a large cluster. We refer to the set of OSDs that should
+contain the replicas of a particular placement group as the **Acting Set**. In
+some cases, an OSD in the Acting Set is ``down`` or otherwise not able to
+service requests for objects in the placement group. When these situations
+arise, don't panic. Common examples include:
+
+- You added or removed an OSD. Then, CRUSH reassigned the placement group to
+ other OSDs--thereby changing the composition of the Acting Set and spawning
+ the migration of data with a "backfill" process.
+- An OSD was ``down``, was restarted, and is now ``recovering``.
+- An OSD in the Acting Set is ``down`` or unable to service requests,
+ and another OSD has temporarily assumed its duties.
+
+Ceph processes a client request using the **Up Set**, which is the set of OSDs
+that will actually handle the requests. In most cases, the Up Set and the Acting
+Set are virtually identical. When they are not, it may indicate that Ceph is
+migrating data, an OSD is recovering, or that there is a problem (i.e., Ceph
+usually echoes a "HEALTH WARN" state with a "stuck stale" message in such
+scenarios).
+
+To retrieve a list of placement groups, execute::
+
+ ceph pg dump
+
+To view which OSDs are within the Acting Set or the Up Set for a given placement
+group, execute::
+
+ ceph pg map {pg-num}
+
+The result should tell you the osdmap epoch (eNNN), the placement group number
+({pg-num}), the OSDs in the Up Set (up[]), and the OSDs in the acting set
+(acting[]). ::
+
+ osdmap eNNN pg {pg-num} -> up [0,1,2] acting [0,1,2]
+
+.. note:: If the Up Set and Acting Set do not match, this may be an indicator
+ that the cluster rebalancing itself or of a potential problem with
+ the cluster.
+
+
+Peering
+=======
+
+Before you can write data to a placement group, it must be in an ``active``
+state, and it **should** be in a ``clean`` state. For Ceph to determine the
+current state of a placement group, the primary OSD of the placement group
+(i.e., the first OSD in the acting set), peers with the secondary and tertiary
+OSDs to establish agreement on the current state of the placement group
+(assuming a pool with 3 replicas of the PG).

+
+
+Monitoring Placement Group States
+=================================
+
+If you execute a command such as ``ceph health``, ``ceph -s`` or ``ceph -w``,
+you may notice that the cluster does not always echo back ``HEALTH OK``. After
+you check to see if the OSDs are running, you should also check placement group
+states. You should expect that the cluster will **NOT** echo ``HEALTH OK`` in a
+number of placement group peering-related circumstances:
+
+#. You have just created a pool and placement groups haven't peered yet.
+#. The placement groups are recovering.
+#. You have just added an OSD to or removed an OSD from the cluster.
+#. You have just modified your CRUSH map and your placement groups are migrating.
+#. There is inconsistent data in different replicas of a placement group.
+#. Ceph is scrubbing a placement group's replicas.
+#. Ceph doesn't have enough storage capacity to complete backfilling operations.
+
+If one of the foregoing circumstances causes Ceph to echo ``HEALTH WARN``, don't
+panic. In many cases, the cluster will recover on its own. In some cases, you
+may need to take action. An important aspect of monitoring placement groups is
+to ensure that when the cluster is up and running that all placement groups are
+``active``, and preferably in the ``clean`` state. To see the status of all
+placement groups, execute::
+
+ ceph pg stat
+
+The result should tell you the placement group map version (vNNNNNN), the total
+number of placement groups (x), and how many placement groups are in a
+particular state such as ``active+clean`` (y). ::
+
+ vNNNNNN: x pgs: y active+clean; z bytes data, aa MB used, bb GB / cc GB avail
+
+.. note:: It is common for Ceph to report multiple states for placement groups.
+
+In addition to the placement group states, Ceph will also echo back the amount
+of data used (aa), the amount of storage capacity remaining (bb), and the total
+storage capacity for the placement group. These numbers can be important in a
+few cases:
+
+- You are reaching your ``near full ratio`` or ``full ratio``.
+- Your data is not getting distributed across the cluster due to an
+ error in your CRUSH configuration.
+
+
+.. topic:: Placement Group IDs
+
+ Placement group IDs consist of the pool number (not pool name) followed
+ by a period (.) and the placement group ID--a hexadecimal number. You
+ can view pool numbers and their names from the output of ``ceph osd
+ lspools``. For example, the default pool ``rbd`` corresponds to
+ pool number ``0``. A fully qualified placement group ID has the
+ following form::
+
+ {pool-num}.{pg-id}
+
+ And it typically looks like this::
+
+ 0.1f
+
+
+To retrieve a list of placement groups, execute the following::
+
+ ceph pg dump
+
+You can also format the output in JSON format and save it to a file::
+
+ ceph pg dump -o {filename} --format=json
+
+To query a particular placement group, execute the following::
+
+ ceph pg {poolnum}.{pg-id} query
+
+Ceph will output the query in JSON format.

+
+
+The following subsections describe common states in greater detail.
+
+Creating
+--------
+
+When you create a pool, it will create the number of placement groups you
+specified. Ceph will echo ``creating`` when it is creating one or more
+placement groups. Once they are created, the OSDs that are part of a placement
+group's Acting Set will peer. Once peering is complete, the placement group
+status should be ``active+clean``, which means a Ceph client can begin writing
+to the placement group.
+
+.. ditaa::
+
+ /-----------\ /-----------\ /-----------\
+ | Creating |------>| Peering |------>| Active |
+ \-----------/ \-----------/ \-----------/
+
+Peering
+-------
+
+When Ceph is Peering a placement group, Ceph is bringing the OSDs that
+store the replicas of the placement group into **agreement about the state**
+of the objects and metadata in the placement group. When Ceph completes peering,
+this means that the OSDs that store the placement group agree about the current
+state of the placement group. However, completion of the peering process does
+**NOT** mean that each replica has the latest contents.
+
+.. topic:: Authoratative History
+
+ Ceph will **NOT** acknowledge a write operation to a client, until
+ all OSDs of the acting set persist the write operation. This practice
+ ensures that at least one member of the acting set will have a record
+ of every acknowledged write operation since the last successful
+ peering operation.
+
+ With an accurate record of each acknowledged write operation, Ceph can
+ construct and disseminate a new authoritative history of the placement
+ group--a complete, and fully ordered set of operations that, if performed,
+ would bring an OSD’s copy of a placement group up to date.
+
+
+Active
+------
+
+Once Ceph completes the peering process, a placement group may become
+``active``. The ``active`` state means that the data in the placement group is
+generally available in the primary placement group and the replicas for read
+and write operations.
+
+
+Clean
+-----
+
+When a placement group is in the ``clean`` state, the primary OSD and the
+replica OSDs have successfully peered and there are no stray replicas for the
+placement group. Ceph replicated all objects in the placement group the correct
+number of times.
+
+
+Degraded
+--------
+
+When a client writes an object to the primary OSD, the primary OSD is
+responsible for writing the replicas to the replica OSDs. After the primary OSD
+writes the object to storage, the placement group will remain in a ``degraded``
+state until the primary OSD has received an acknowledgement from the replica
+OSDs that Ceph created the replica objects successfully.
+
+The reason a placement group can be ``active+degraded`` is that an OSD may be
+``active`` even though it doesn't hold all of the objects yet. If an OSD goes
+``down``, Ceph marks each placement group assigned to the OSD as ``degraded``.
+The OSDs must peer again when the OSD comes back online. However, a client can
+still write a new object to a ``degraded`` placement group if it is ``active``.
+
+If an OSD is ``down`` and the ``degraded`` condition persists, Ceph may mark the
+``down`` OSD as ``out`` of the cluster and remap the data from the ``down`` OSD
+to another OSD. The time between being marked ``down`` and being marked ``out``
+is controlled by ``mon osd down out interval``, which is set to ``600`` seconds
+by default.
+
+A placement group can also be ``degraded``, because Ceph cannot find one or more
+objects that Ceph thinks should be in the placement group. While you cannot
+read or write to unfound objects, you can still access all of the other objects
+in the ``degraded`` placement group.
+
+
+Recovering
+----------
+
+Ceph was designed for fault-tolerance at a scale where hardware and software
+problems are ongoing. When an OSD goes ``down``, its contents may fall behind
+the current state of other replicas in the placement groups. When the OSD is
+back ``up``, the contents of the placement groups must be updated to reflect the
+current state. During that time period, the OSD may reflect a ``recovering``
+state.
+
+Recovery is not always trivial, because a hardware failure might cause a
+cascading failure of multiple OSDs. For example, a network switch for a rack or
+cabinet may fail, which can cause the OSDs of a number of host machines to fall
+behind the current state of the cluster. Each one of the OSDs must recover once
+the fault is resolved.
+
+Ceph provides a number of settings to balance the resource contention between
+new service requests and the need to recover data objects and restore the
+placement groups to the current state. The ``osd recovery delay start`` setting
+allows an OSD to restart, re-peer and even process some replay requests before
+starting the recovery process. The ``osd
+recovery thread timeout`` sets a thread timeout, because multiple OSDs may fail,
+restart and re-peer at staggered rates. The ``osd recovery max active`` setting
+limits the number of recovery requests an OSD will entertain simultaneously to
+prevent the OSD from failing to serve . The ``osd recovery max chunk`` setting
+limits the size of the recovered data chunks to prevent network congestion.
+
+
+Back Filling
+------------
+
+When a new OSD joins the cluster, CRUSH will reassign placement groups from OSDs
+in the cluster to the newly added OSD. Forcing the new OSD to accept the
+reassigned placement groups immediately can put excessive load on the new OSD.
+Back filling the OSD with the placement groups allows this process to begin in
+the background. Once backfilling is complete, the new OSD will begin serving
+requests when it is ready.
+
+During the backfill operations, you may see one of several states:
+``backfill_wait`` indicates that a backfill operation is pending, but is not
+underway yet; ``backfill`` indicates that a backfill operation is underway;
+and, ``backfill_too_full`` indicates that a backfill operation was requested,
+but couldn't be completed due to insufficient storage capacity. When a
+placement group cannot be backfilled, it may be considered ``incomplete``.
+
+Ceph provides a number of settings to manage the load spike associated with
+reassigning placement groups to an OSD (especially a new OSD). By default,
+``osd_max_backfills`` sets the maximum number of concurrent backfills to or from
+an OSD to 10. The ``backfill full ratio`` enables an OSD to refuse a
+backfill request if the OSD is approaching its full ratio (90%, by default) and
+change with ``ceph osd set-backfillfull-ratio`` comand.
+If an OSD refuses a backfill request, the ``osd backfill retry interval``
+enables an OSD to retry the request (after 10 seconds, by default). OSDs can
+also set ``osd backfill scan min`` and ``osd backfill scan max`` to manage scan
+intervals (64 and 512, by default).
+
+
+Remapped
+--------
+
+When the Acting Set that services a placement group changes, the data migrates
+from the old acting set to the new acting set. It may take some time for a new
+primary OSD to service requests. So it may ask the old primary to continue to
+service requests until the placement group migration is complete. Once data
+migration completes, the mapping uses the primary OSD of the new acting set.
+
+
+Stale
+-----
+
+While Ceph uses heartbeats to ensure that hosts and daemons are running, the
+``ceph-osd`` daemons may also get into a ``stuck`` state where they are not
+reporting statistics in a timely manner (e.g., a temporary network fault). By
+default, OSD daemons report their placement group, up thru, boot and failure
+statistics every half second (i.e., ``0.5``), which is more frequent than the
+heartbeat thresholds. If the **Primary OSD** of a placement group's acting set
+fails to report to the monitor or if other OSDs have reported the primary OSD
+``down``, the monitors will mark the placement group ``stale``.
+
+When you start your cluster, it is common to see the ``stale`` state until
+the peering process completes. After your cluster has been running for awhile,
+seeing placement groups in the ``stale`` state indicates that the primary OSD
+for those placement groups is ``down`` or not reporting placement group statistics
+to the monitor.
+
+
+Identifying Troubled PGs
+========================
+
+As previously noted, a placement group is not necessarily problematic just
+because its state is not ``active+clean``. Generally, Ceph's ability to self
+repair may not be working when placement groups get stuck. The stuck states
+include:
+
+- **Unclean**: Placement groups contain objects that are not replicated the
+ desired number of times. They should be recovering.
+- **Inactive**: Placement groups cannot process reads or writes because they
+ are waiting for an OSD with the most up-to-date data to come back ``up``.
+- **Stale**: Placement groups are in an unknown state, because the OSDs that
+ host them have not reported to the monitor cluster in a while (configured
+ by ``mon osd report timeout``).
+
+To identify stuck placement groups, execute the following::
+
+ ceph pg dump_stuck [unclean|inactive|stale|undersized|degraded]
+
+See `Placement Group Subsystem`_ for additional details. To troubleshoot
+stuck placement groups, see `Troubleshooting PG Errors`_.
+
+
+Finding an Object Location
+==========================
+
+To store object data in the Ceph Object Store, a Ceph client must:
+
+#. Set an object name
+#. Specify a `pool`_
+
+The Ceph client retrieves the latest cluster map and the CRUSH algorithm
+calculates how to map the object to a `placement group`_, and then calculates
+how to assign the placement group to an OSD dynamically. To find the object
+location, all you need is the object name and the pool name. For example::
+
+ ceph osd map {poolname} {object-name}
+
+.. topic:: Exercise: Locate an Object
+
+ As an exercise, lets create an object. Specify an object name, a path to a
+ test file containing some object data and a pool name using the
+ ``rados put`` command on the command line. For example::
+
+ rados put {object-name} {file-path} --pool=data
+ rados put test-object-1 testfile.txt --pool=data
+
+ To verify that the Ceph Object Store stored the object, execute the following::
+
+ rados -p data ls
+
+ Now, identify the object location::
+
+ ceph osd map {pool-name} {object-name}
+ ceph osd map data test-object-1
+
+ Ceph should output the object's location. For example::
+
+ osdmap e537 pool 'data' (0) object 'test-object-1' -> pg 0.d1743484 (0.4) -> up [1,0] acting [1,0]
+
+ To remove the test object, simply delete it using the ``rados rm`` command.
+ For example::
+
+ rados rm test-object-1 --pool=data
+
+
+As the cluster evolves, the object location may change dynamically. One benefit
+of Ceph's dynamic rebalancing is that Ceph relieves you from having to perform
+the migration manually. See the `Architecture`_ section for details.

+======================
+ Monitoring a Cluster
+======================
+
+Once you have a running cluster, you may use the ``ceph`` tool to monitor your
+cluster. Monitoring a cluster typically involves checking OSD status, monitor
+status, placement group status and metadata server status.
+
+Using the command line
+======================
+
+Interactive mode
+----------------
+
+To run the ``ceph`` tool in interactive mode, type ``ceph`` at the command line
+with no arguments. For example::
+
+ ceph
+ ceph> health
+ ceph> status
+ ceph> quorum_status
+ ceph> mon_status
+
+Non-default paths
+-----------------
+
+If you specified non-default locations for your configuration or keyring,
+you may specify their locations::
+
+ ceph -c /path/to/conf -k /path/to/keyring health
+
+Checking a Cluster's Status
+===========================
+
+After you start your cluster, and before you start reading and/or
+writing data, check your cluster's status first.
+
+To check a cluster's status, execute the following::
+
+ ceph status
+
+Or::
+
+ ceph -s
+
+In interactive mode, type ``status`` and press **Enter**. ::
+
+ ceph> status
+
+Ceph will print the cluster status. For example, a tiny Ceph demonstration
+cluster with one of each service may print the following:
+
+::
+
+ cluster:
+ id: 477e46f1-ae41-4e43-9c8f-72c918ab0a20
+ health: HEALTH_OK
+
+ services:
+ mon: 1 daemons, quorum a
+ mgr: x(active)
+ mds: 1/1/1 up {0=a=up:active}
+ osd: 1 osds: 1 up, 1 in
+
+ data:
+ pools: 2 pools, 16 pgs
+ objects: 21 objects, 2246 bytes
+ usage: 546 GB used, 384 GB / 931 GB avail
+ pgs: 16 active+clean
+
+
+.. topic:: How Ceph Calculates Data Usage
+
+ The ``usage`` value reflects the *actual* amount of raw storage used. The
+ ``xxx GB / xxx GB`` value means the amount available (the lesser number)
+ of the overall storage capacity of the cluster. The notional number reflects
+ the size of the stored data before it is replicated, cloned or snapshotted.
+ Therefore, the amount of data actually stored typically exceeds the notional
+ amount stored, because Ceph creates replicas of the data and may also use
+ storage capacity for cloning and snapshotting.
+
+
+Watching a Cluster
+==================
+
+In addition to local logging by each daemon, Ceph clusters maintain
+a *cluster log* that records high level events about the whole system.
+This is logged to disk on monitor servers (as ``/var/log/ceph/ceph.log`` by
+default), but can also be monitored via the command line.
+
+To follow the cluster log, use the following command
+
+::
+
+ ceph -w
+
+Ceph will print the status of the system, followed by each log message as it
+is emitted. For example:
+
+::
+
+ cluster:
+ id: 477e46f1-ae41-4e43-9c8f-72c918ab0a20
+ health: HEALTH_OK
+
+ services:
+ mon: 1 daemons, quorum a
+ mgr: x(active)
+ mds: 1/1/1 up {0=a=up:active}
+ osd: 1 osds: 1 up, 1 in
+
+ data:
+ pools: 2 pools, 16 pgs
+ objects: 21 objects, 2246 bytes

+
+In addition to using ``ceph -w`` to print log lines as they are emitted,
+use ``ceph log last [n]`` to see the most recent ``n`` lines from the cluster
+log.
+
+Monitoring Health Checks
+========================
+
+Ceph continously runs various *health checks* against its own status. When
+a health check fails, this is reflected in the output of ``ceph status`` (or
+``ceph health``). In addition, messages are sent to the cluster log to
+indicate when a check fails, and when the cluster recovers.
+
+For example, when an OSD goes down, the ``health`` section of the status
+output may be updated as follows:
+
+::
+
+ health: HEALTH_WARN
+ 1 osds down
+ Degraded data redundancy: 21/63 objects degraded (33.333%), 16 pgs unclean, 16 pgs degraded
+
+At this time, cluster log messages are also emitted to record the failure of the
+health checks:
+
+::
+
+ 2017-07-25 10:08:58.265945 mon.a mon.0 172.21.9.34:6789/0 91 : cluster [WRN] Health check failed: 1 osds down (OSD_DOWN)

+
+When the OSD comes back online, the cluster log records the cluster's return
+to a health state:
+
+::
+
+ 2017-07-25 10:11:11.526841 mon.a mon.0 172.21.9.34:6789/0 109 : cluster [WRN] Health check update: Degraded data redundancy: 2 pgs unclean, 2 pgs degraded, 2 pgs undersized (PG_DEGRADED)

+ 2017-07-25 10:11:13.535577 mon.a mon.0 172.21.9.34:6789/0 111 : cluster [INF] Cluster is now healthy
+
+
+Detecting configuration issues
+==============================
+
+In addition to the health checks that Ceph continuously runs on its
+own status, there are some configuration issues that may only be detected
+by an external tool.
+
+Use the `ceph-medic`_ tool to run these additional checks on your Ceph
+cluster's configuration.
+
+Checking a Cluster's Usage Stats
+================================
+
+To check a cluster's data usage and data distribution among pools, you can
+use the ``df`` option. It is similar to Linux ``df``. Execute
+the following::
+
+ ceph df
+
+The **GLOBAL** section of the output provides an overview of the amount of
+storage your cluster uses for your data.
+
+- **SIZE:** The overall storage capacity of the cluster.
+- **AVAIL:** The amount of free space available in the cluster.
+- **RAW USED:** The amount of raw storage used.
+- **% RAW USED:** The percentage of raw storage used. Use this number in
+ conjunction with the ``full ratio`` and ``near full ratio`` to ensure that
+ you are not reaching your cluster's capacity. See `Storage Capacity`_ for
+ additional details.
+
+The **POOLS** section of the output provides a list of pools and the notional
+usage of each pool. The output from this section **DOES NOT** reflect replicas,
+clones or snapshots. For example, if you store an object with 1MB of data, the
+notional usage will be 1MB, but the actual usage may be 2MB or more depending
+on the number of replicas, clones and snapshots.
+
+- **NAME:** The name of the pool.
+- **ID:** The pool ID.
+- **USED:** The notional amount of data stored in kilobytes, unless the number
+ appends **M** for megabytes or **G** for gigabytes.
+- **%USED:** The notional percentage of storage used per pool.
+- **MAX AVAIL:** An estimate of the notional amount of data that can be written
+ to this pool.
+- **Objects:** The notional number of objects stored per pool.
+
+.. note:: The numbers in the **POOLS** section are notional. They are not
+ inclusive of the number of replicas, shapshots or clones. As a result,
+ the sum of the **USED** and **%USED** amounts will not add up to the
+ **RAW USED** and **%RAW USED** amounts in the **GLOBAL** section of the
+ output.
+
+.. note:: The **MAX AVAIL** value is a complicated function of the
+ replication or erasure code used, the CRUSH rule that maps storage
+ to devices, the utilization of those devices, and the configured
+ mon_osd_full_ratio.
+
+
+
+Checking OSD Status
+===================
+
+You can check OSDs to ensure they are ``up`` and ``in`` by executing::
+
+ ceph osd stat
+
+Or::
+
+ ceph osd dump
+
+You can also check view OSDs according to their position in the CRUSH map. ::
+
+ ceph osd tree
+
+Ceph will print out a CRUSH tree with a host, its OSDs, whether they are up
+and their weight. ::
+
+ # id weight type name up/down reweight
+ -1 3 pool default
+ -3 3 rack mainrack
+ -2 3 host osd-host
+ 0 1 osd.0 up 1
+ 1 1 osd.1 up 1
+ 2 1 osd.2 up 1
+
+For a detailed discussion, refer to `Monitoring OSDs and Placement Groups`_.
+
+Checking Monitor Status
+=======================
+
+If your cluster has multiple monitors (likely), you should check the monitor
+quorum status after you start the cluster before reading and/or writing data. A
+quorum must be present when multiple monitors are running. You should also check
+monitor status periodically to ensure that they are running.
+
+To see display the monitor map, execute the following::
+
+ ceph mon stat
+
+Or::
+
+ ceph mon dump
+
+To check the quorum status for the monitor cluster, execute the following::
+
+ ceph quorum_status
+
+Ceph will return the quorum status. For example, a Ceph cluster consisting of
+three monitors may return the following:
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+ { "election_epoch": 10,
+ "quorum": [
+ 0,
+ 1,
+ 2],
+ "monmap": { "epoch": 1,
+ "fsid": "444b489c-4f16-4b75-83f0-cb8097468898",
+ "modified": "2011-12-12 13:28:27.505520",
+ "created": "2011-12-12 13:28:27.505520",
+ "mons": [
+ { "rank": 0,
+ "name": "a",
+ "addr": "127.0.0.1:6789\/0"},
+ { "rank": 1,
+ "name": "b",
+ "addr": "127.0.0.1:6790\/0"},
+ { "rank": 2,
+ "name": "c",
+ "addr": "127.0.0.1:6791\/0"}
+ ]
+ }
+ }
+
+Checking MDS Status
+===================
+
+Metadata servers provide metadata services for Ceph FS. Metadata servers have
+two sets of states: ``up | down`` and ``active | inactive``. To ensure your
+metadata servers are ``up`` and ``active``, execute the following::
+
+ ceph mds stat
+
+To display details of the metadata cluster, execute the following::
+
+ ceph fs dump
+
+
+Checking Placement Group States
+===============================
+
+Placement groups map objects to OSDs. When you monitor your
+placement groups, you will want them to be ``active`` and ``clean``.
+For a detailed discussion, refer to `Monitoring OSDs and Placement Groups`_.
+
+.. _Monitoring OSDs and Placement Groups: ../monitoring-osd-pg
+
+
+Using the Admin Socket
+======================
+
+The Ceph admin socket allows you to query a daemon via a socket interface.
+By default, Ceph sockets reside under ``/var/run/ceph``. To access a daemon
+via the admin socket, login to the host running the daemon and use the
+following command::
+
+ ceph daemon {daemon-name}
+ ceph daemon {path-to-socket-file}
+
+For example, the following are equivalent::
+
+ ceph daemon osd.0 foo
+ ceph daemon /var/run/ceph/ceph-osd.0.asok foo
+
+To view the available admin socket commands, execute the following command::
+
+ ceph daemon {daemon-name} help
+
+The admin socket command enables you to show and set your configuration at
+runtime. See `Viewing a Configuration at Runtime`_ for details.
+
+Additionally, you can set configuration values at runtime directly (i.e., the
+admin socket bypasses the monitor, unlike ``ceph tell {daemon-type}.{id}
+injectargs``, which relies on the monitor but doesn't require you to login
+directly to the host in question ).

+.. index:: systemd; operating a cluster
+
+
+Running Ceph with systemd
+==========================
+
+For all distributions that support systemd (CentOS 7, Fedora, Debian
+Jessie 8 and later, SUSE), ceph daemons are now managed using native
+systemd files instead of the legacy sysvinit scripts. For example::
+
+ sudo systemctl start ceph.target # start all daemons
+ sudo systemctl status ceph-osd@12 # check status of osd.12
+
+To list the Ceph systemd units on a node, execute::
+
+ sudo systemctl status ceph\*.service ceph\*.target
+
+Starting all Daemons

+
+Running Ceph with Upstart
+=========================
+
+When deploying Ceph with ``ceph-deploy`` on Ubuntu Trusty, you may start and
+stop Ceph daemons on a :term:`Ceph Node` using the event-based `Upstart`_.
+Upstart does not require you to define daemon instances in the Ceph
+configuration file.
+
+To list the Ceph Upstart jobs and instances on a node, execute::
+
+ sudo initctl list | grep ceph
+
+See `initctl`_ for additional details.

+Running Ceph
+============
+
+Each time you to **start**, **restart**, and **stop** Ceph daemons (or your
+entire cluster) you must specify at least one option and one command. You may
+also specify a daemon type or a daemon instance. ::
+
+ {commandline} [options] [commands] [daemons]
+
+
+The ``ceph`` options include:
+
++-----------------+----------+-------------------------------------------------+

+==========================
+ Placement Group Concepts
+==========================
+
+When you execute commands like ``ceph -w``, ``ceph osd dump``, and other
+commands related to placement groups, Ceph may return values using some
+of the following terms:
+
+*Peering*
+ The process of bringing all of the OSDs that store
+ a Placement Group (PG) into agreement about the state
+ of all of the objects (and their metadata) in that PG.
+ Note that agreeing on the state does not mean that
+ they all have the latest contents.
+
+*Acting Set*
+ The ordered list of OSDs who are (or were as of some epoch)
+ responsible for a particular placement group.
+
+*Up Set*
+ The ordered list of OSDs responsible for a particular placement
+ group for a particular epoch according to CRUSH. Normally this
+ is the same as the *Acting Set*, except when the *Acting Set* has
+ been explicitly overridden via ``pg_temp`` in the OSD Map.
+
+*Current Interval* or *Past Interval*
+ A sequence of OSD map epochs during which the *Acting Set* and *Up
+ Set* for particular placement group do not change.
+
+*Primary*
+ The member (and by convention first) of the *Acting Set*,
+ that is responsible for coordination peering, and is
+ the only OSD that will accept client-initiated
+ writes to objects in a placement group.
+
+*Replica*
+ A non-primary OSD in the *Acting Set* for a placement group
+ (and who has been recognized as such and *activated* by the primary).
+
+*Stray*
+ An OSD that is not a member of the current *Acting Set*, but
+ has not yet been told that it can delete its copies of a
+ particular placement group.
+
+*Recovery*
+ Ensuring that copies of all of the objects in a placement group
+ are on all of the OSDs in the *Acting Set*. Once *Peering* has
+ been performed, the *Primary* can start accepting write operations,
+ and *Recovery* can proceed in the background.
+
+*PG Info*
+ Basic metadata about the placement group's creation epoch, the version
+ for the most recent write to the placement group, *last epoch started*,
+ *last epoch clean*, and the beginning of the *current interval*. Any
+ inter-OSD communication about placement groups includes the *PG Info*,
+ such that any OSD that knows a placement group exists (or once existed)
+ also has a lower bound on *last epoch clean* or *last epoch started*.
+
+*PG Log*
+ A list of recent updates made to objects in a placement group.
+ Note that these logs can be truncated after all OSDs
+ in the *Acting Set* have acknowledged up to a certain
+ point.
+
+*Missing Set*
+ Each OSD notes update log entries and if they imply updates to
+ the contents of an object, adds that object to a list of needed
+ updates. This list is called the *Missing Set* for that ``<OSD,PG>``.
+
+*Authoritative History*
+ A complete, and fully ordered set of operations that, if
+ performed, would bring an OSD's copy of a placement group
+ up to date.
+
+*Epoch*
+ A (monotonically increasing) OSD map version number
+
+*Last Epoch Start*
+ The last epoch at which all nodes in the *Acting Set*
+ for a particular placement group agreed on an
+ *Authoritative History*. At this point, *Peering* is
+ deemed to have been successful.
+
+*up_thru*
+ Before a *Primary* can successfully complete the *Peering* process,
+ it must inform a monitor that is alive through the current
+ OSD map *Epoch* by having the monitor set its *up_thru* in the osd
+ map. This helps *Peering* ignore previous *Acting Sets* for which
+ *Peering* never completed after certain sequences of failures, such as
+ the second interval below:
+
+ - *acting set* = [A,B]
+ - *acting set* = [A]
+ - *acting set* = [] very shortly after (e.g., simultaneous failure, but staggered detection)
+ - *acting set* = [B] (B restarts, A does not)
+
+*Last Epoch Clean*
+ The last *Epoch* at which all nodes in the *Acting set*
+ for a particular placement group were completely
+ up to date (both placement group logs and object contents).
+ At this point, *recovery* is deemed to have been
+ completed.

+========================
+ Placement Group States
+========================
+
+When checking a cluster's status (e.g., running ``ceph -w`` or ``ceph -s``),
+Ceph will report on the status of the placement groups. A placement group has
+one or more states. The optimum state for placement groups in the placement group
+map is ``active + clean``.
+
+*Creating*
+ Ceph is still creating the placement group.
+
+*Active*
+ Ceph will process requests to the placement group.
+
+*Clean*
+ Ceph replicated all objects in the placement group the correct number of times.
+
+*Down*
+ A replica with necessary data is down, so the placement group is offline.
+
+*Scrubbing*
+ Ceph is checking the placement group for inconsistencies.
+
+*Degraded*
+ Ceph has not replicated some objects in the placement group the correct number of times yet.
+
+*Inconsistent*
+ Ceph detects inconsistencies in the one or more replicas of an object in the placement group
+ (e.g. objects are the wrong size, objects are missing from one replica *after* recovery finished, etc.).
+
+*Peering*
+ The placement group is undergoing the peering process
+
+*Repair*
+ Ceph is checking the placement group and repairing any inconsistencies it finds (if possible).
+
+*Recovering*
+ Ceph is migrating/synchronizing objects and their replicas.
+
+*Forced-Recovery*
+ High recovery priority of that PG is enforced by user.
+
+*Backfill*
+ Ceph is scanning and synchronizing the entire contents of a placement group
+ instead of inferring what contents need to be synchronized from the logs of
+ recent operations. *Backfill* is a special case of recovery.
+
+*Forced-Backfill*
+ High backfill priority of that PG is enforced by user.
+
+*Wait-backfill*
+ The placement group is waiting in line to start backfill.
+
+*Backfill-toofull*
+ A backfill operation is waiting because the destination OSD is over its
+ full ratio.
+
+*Incomplete*
+ Ceph detects that a placement group is missing information about
+ writes that may have occurred, or does not have any healthy
+ copies. If you see this state, try to start any failed OSDs that may
+ contain the needed information. In the case of an erasure coded pool
+ temporarily reducing min_size may allow recovery.
+
+*Stale*
+ The placement group is in an unknown state - the monitors have not received
+ an update for it since the placement group mapping changed.
+
+*Remapped*
+ The placement group is temporarily mapped to a different set of OSDs from what
+ CRUSH specified.
+
+*Undersized*
+ The placement group fewer copies than the configured pool replication level.
+
+*Peered*
+ The placement group has peered, but cannot serve client IO due to not having
+ enough copies to reach the pool's configured min_size parameter. Recovery
+ may occur in this state, so the pg may heal up to min_size eventually.

+A preselection of pg_num
+========================
+
+When creating a new pool with::

+ ceph osd pool create {pool-name} pg_num
+
+it is mandatory to choose the value of ``pg_num`` because it cannot be
+calculated automatically. Here are a few values commonly used:
+
+- Less than 5 OSDs set ``pg_num`` to 128
+
+- Between 5 and 10 OSDs set ``pg_num`` to 512
+
+- Between 10 and 50 OSDs set ``pg_num`` to 1024
+
+- If you have more than 50 OSDs, you need to understand the tradeoffs
+ and how to calculate the ``pg_num`` value by yourself
+
+- For calculating ``pg_num`` value by yourself please take help of `pgcalc`_ tool
+
+As the number of OSDs increases, chosing the right value for pg_num
+becomes more important because it has a significant influence on the
+behavior of the cluster as well as the durability of the data when
+something goes wrong (i.e. the probability that a catastrophic event
+leads to data loss).
+
+How are Placement Groups used ?
+===============================
+
+A placement group (PG) aggregates objects within a pool because
+tracking object placement and object metadata on a per-object basis is
+computationally expensive--i.e., a system with millions of objects
+cannot realistically track placement on a per-object basis.
+
+.. ditaa::
+ /-----\ /-----\ /-----\ /-----\ /-----\
+ | obj | | obj | | obj | | obj | | obj |
+ \-----/ \-----/ \-----/ \-----/ \-----/
+ | | | | |
+ +--------+--------+ +---+----+
+ | |
+ v v
+ +-----------------------+ +-----------------------+
+ | Placement Group #1 | | Placement Group #2 |
+ | | | |
+ +-----------------------+ +-----------------------+
+ | |
+ +------------------------------+
+ |
+ v
+ +-----------------------+
+ | Pool |
+ | |
+ +-----------------------+
+
+The Ceph client will calculate which placement group an object should
+be in. It does this by hashing the object ID and applying an operation
+based on the number of PGs in the defined pool and the ID of the pool.
+See `Mapping PGs to OSDs`_ for details.
+
+The object's contents within a placement group are stored in a set of
+OSDs. For instance, in a replicated pool of size two, each placement
+group will store objects on two OSDs, as shown below.
+
+.. ditaa::
+
+ +-----------------------+ +-----------------------+
+ | Placement Group #1 | | Placement Group #2 |
+ | | | |
+ +-----------------------+ +-----------------------+
+ | | | |
+ v v v v
+ /----------\ /----------\ /----------\ /----------\
+ | | | | | | | |
+ | OSD #1 | | OSD #2 | | OSD #2 | | OSD #3 |
+ | | | | | | | |
+ \----------/ \----------/ \----------/ \----------/
+
+
+Should OSD #2 fail, another will be assigned to Placement Group #1 and
+will be filled with copies of all objects in OSD #1. If the pool size
+is changed from two to three, an additional OSD will be assigned to
+the placement group and will receive copies of all objects in the
+placement group.
+
+Placement groups do not own the OSD, they share it with other
+placement groups from the same pool or even other pools. If OSD #2
+fails, the Placement Group #2 will also have to restore copies of
+objects, using OSD #3.
+
+When the number of placement groups increases, the new placement
+groups will be assigned OSDs. The result of the CRUSH function will
+also change and some objects from the former placement groups will be
+copied over to the new Placement Groups and removed from the old ones.
+
+Placement Groups Tradeoffs
+==========================
+
+Data durability and even distribution among all OSDs call for more
+placement groups but their number should be reduced to the minimum to
+save CPU and memory.
+
+.. _data durability:
+
+Data durability
+---------------
+
+After an OSD fails, the risk of data loss increases until the data it
+contained is fully recovered. Let's imagine a scenario that causes
+permanent data loss in a single placement group:
+
+- The OSD fails and all copies of the object it contains are lost.
+ For all objects within the placement group the number of replica
+ suddently drops from three to two.
+
+- Ceph starts recovery for this placement group by chosing a new OSD
+ to re-create the third copy of all objects.
+
+- Another OSD, within the same placement group, fails before the new
+ OSD is fully populated with the third copy. Some objects will then
+ only have one surviving copies.
+
+- Ceph picks yet another OSD and keeps copying objects to restore the
+ desired number of copies.
+
+- A third OSD, within the same placement group, fails before recovery
+ is complete. If this OSD contained the only remaining copy of an
+ object, it is permanently lost.
+
+In a cluster containing 10 OSDs with 512 placement groups in a three
+replica pool, CRUSH will give each placement groups three OSDs. In the
+end, each OSDs will end up hosting (512 * 3) / 10 = ~150 Placement
+Groups. When the first OSD fails, the above scenario will therefore
+start recovery for all 150 placement groups at the same time.
+
+The 150 placement groups being recovered are likely to be
+homogeneously spread over the 9 remaining OSDs. Each remaining OSD is
+therefore likely to send copies of objects to all others and also
+receive some new objects to be stored because they became part of a
+new placement group.
+
+The amount of time it takes for this recovery to complete entirely
+depends on the architecture of the Ceph cluster. Let say each OSD is
+hosted by a 1TB SSD on a single machine and all of them are connected
+to a 10Gb/s switch and the recovery for a single OSD completes within
+M minutes. If there are two OSDs per machine using spinners with no
+SSD journal and a 1Gb/s switch, it will at least be an order of
+magnitude slower.
+
+In a cluster of this size, the number of placement groups has almost
+no influence on data durability. It could be 128 or 8192 and the
+recovery would not be slower or faster.
+
+However, growing the same Ceph cluster to 20 OSDs instead of 10 OSDs
+is likely to speed up recovery and therefore improve data durability
+significantly. Each OSD now participates in only ~75 placement groups
+instead of ~150 when there were only 10 OSDs and it will still require
+all 19 remaining OSDs to perform the same amount of object copies in
+order to recover. But where 10 OSDs had to copy approximately 100GB
+each, they now have to copy 50GB each instead. If the network was the
+bottleneck, recovery will happen twice as fast. In other words,
+recovery goes faster when the number of OSDs increases.
+
+If this cluster grows to 40 OSDs, each of them will only host ~35
+placement groups. If an OSD dies, recovery will keep going faster
+unless it is blocked by another bottleneck. However, if this cluster
+grows to 200 OSDs, each of them will only host ~7 placement groups. If
+an OSD dies, recovery will happen between at most of ~21 (7 * 3) OSDs
+in these placement groups: recovery will take longer than when there
+were 40 OSDs, meaning the number of placement groups should be
+increased.
+
+No matter how short the recovery time is, there is a chance for a
+second OSD to fail while it is in progress. In the 10 OSDs cluster
+described above, if any of them fail, then ~17 placement groups
+(i.e. ~150 / 9 placement groups being recovered) will only have one
+surviving copy. And if any of the 8 remaining OSD fail, the last
+objects of two placement groups are likely to be lost (i.e. ~17 / 8
+placement groups with only one remaining copy being recovered).
+
+When the size of the cluster grows to 20 OSDs, the number of Placement
+Groups damaged by the loss of three OSDs drops. The second OSD lost
+will degrade ~4 (i.e. ~75 / 19 placement groups being recovered)
+instead of ~17 and the third OSD lost will only lose data if it is one
+of the four OSDs containing the surviving copy. In other words, if the
+probability of losing one OSD is 0.0001% during the recovery time
+frame, it goes from 17 * 10 * 0.0001% in the cluster with 10 OSDs to 4 * 20 *
+0.0001% in the cluster with 20 OSDs.
+
+In a nutshell, more OSDs mean faster recovery and a lower risk of
+cascading failures leading to the permanent loss of a Placement
+Group. Having 512 or 4096 Placement Groups is roughly equivalent in a
+cluster with less than 50 OSDs as far as data durability is concerned.
+
+Note: It may take a long time for a new OSD added to the cluster to be
+populated with placement groups that were assigned to it. However
+there is no degradation of any object and it has no impact on the
+durability of the data contained in the Cluster.
+
+.. _object distribution:
+
+Object distribution within a pool
+---------------------------------
+
+Ideally objects are evenly distributed in each placement group. Since
+CRUSH computes the placement group for each object, but does not
+actually know how much data is stored in each OSD within this
+placement group, the ratio between the number of placement groups and
+the number of OSDs may influence the distribution of the data
+significantly.
+
+For instance, if there was single a placement group for ten OSDs in a
+three replica pool, only three OSD would be used because CRUSH would
+have no other choice. When more placement groups are available,
+objects are more likely to be evenly spread among them. CRUSH also
+makes every effort to evenly spread OSDs among all existing Placement
+Groups.
+
+As long as there are one or two orders of magnitude more Placement
+Groups than OSDs, the distribution should be even. For instance, 300
+placement groups for 3 OSDs, 1000 placement groups for 10 OSDs etc.
+
+Uneven data distribution can be caused by factors other than the ratio
+between OSDs and placement groups. Since CRUSH does not take into
+account the size of the objects, a few very large objects may create
+an imbalance. Let say one million 4K objects totaling 4GB are evenly
+spread among 1000 placement groups on 10 OSDs. They will use 4GB / 10
+= 400MB on each OSD. If one 400MB object is added to the pool, the
+three OSDs supporting the placement group in which the object has been
+placed will be filled with 400MB + 400MB = 800MB while the seven
+others will remain occupied with only 400MB.
+
+.. _resource usage:
+
+Memory, CPU and network usage
+-----------------------------
+
+For each placement group, OSDs and MONs need memory, network and CPU
+at all times and even more during recovery. Sharing this overhead by
+clustering objects within a placement group is one of the main reasons
+they exist.
+
+Minimizing the number of placement groups saves significant amounts of
+resources.
+
+Choosing the number of Placement Groups
+=======================================
+
+If you have more than 50 OSDs, we recommend approximately 50-100
+placement groups per OSD to balance out resource usage, data
+durability and distribution. If you have less than 50 OSDs, chosing
+among the `preselection`_ above is best. For a single pool of objects,
+you can use the following formula to get a baseline::
+
+ (OSDs * 100)
+ Total PGs = ------------
+ pool size
+
+Where **pool size** is either the number of replicas for replicated
+pools or the K+M sum for erasure coded pools (as returned by **ceph
+osd erasure-code-profile get**).
+
+You should then check if the result makes sense with the way you
+designed your Ceph cluster to maximize `data durability`_,
+`object distribution`_ and minimize `resource usage`_.
+
+The result should be **rounded up to the nearest power of two.**
+Rounding up is optional, but recommended for CRUSH to evenly balance
+the number of objects among placement groups.
+
+As an example, for a cluster with 200 OSDs and a pool size of 3
+replicas, you would estimate your number of PGs as follows::
+
+ (200 * 100)
+ ----------- = 6667. Nearest power of 2: 8192
+ 3
+
+When using multiple data pools for storing objects, you need to ensure
+that you balance the number of placement groups per pool with the
+number of placement groups per OSD so that you arrive at a reasonable
+total number of placement groups that provides reasonably low variance
+per OSD without taxing system resources or making the peering process
+too slow.
+
+For instance a cluster of 10 pools each with 512 placement groups on
+ten OSDs is a total of 5,120 placement groups spread over ten OSDs,
+that is 512 placement groups per OSD. That does not use too many
+resources. However, if 1,000 pools were created with 512 placement
+groups each, the OSDs will handle ~50,000 placement groups each and it
+would require significantly more resources and time for peering.
+
+You may find the `PGCalc`_ tool helpful.
+
+
+.. _setting the number of placement groups:
+
+Set the Number of Placement Groups
+==================================
+
+To set the number of placement groups in a pool, you must specify the
+number of placement groups at the time you create the pool.
+See `Create a Pool`_ for details. Once you have set placement groups for a
+pool, you may increase the number of placement groups (but you cannot
+decrease the number of placement groups). To increase the number of
+placement groups, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd pool set {pool-name} pg_num {pg_num}
+
+Once you increase the number of placement groups, you must also
+increase the number of placement groups for placement (``pgp_num``)
+before your cluster will rebalance. The ``pgp_num`` will be the number of
+placement groups that will be considered for placement by the CRUSH
+algorithm. Increasing ``pg_num`` splits the placement groups but data
+will not be migrated to the newer placement groups until placement
+groups for placement, ie. ``pgp_num`` is increased. The ``pgp_num``
+should be equal to the ``pg_num``. To increase the number of
+placement groups for placement, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd pool set {pool-name} pgp_num {pgp_num}
+
+
+Get the Number of Placement Groups
+==================================
+
+To get the number of placement groups in a pool, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd pool get {pool-name} pg_num
+
+
+Get a Cluster's PG Statistics
+=============================
+
+To get the statistics for the placement groups in your cluster, execute the following::
+
+ ceph pg dump [--format {format}]
+
+Valid formats are ``plain`` (default) and ``json``.
+
+
+Get Statistics for Stuck PGs
+============================
+
+To get the statistics for all placement groups stuck in a specified state,
+execute the following::
+
+ ceph pg dump_stuck inactive|unclean|stale|undersized|degraded [--format <format>] [-t|--threshold <seconds>]
+
+**Inactive** Placement groups cannot process reads or writes because they are waiting for an OSD
+with the most up-to-date data to come up and in.
+
+**Unclean** Placement groups contain objects that are not replicated the desired number
+of times. They should be recovering.
+
+**Stale** Placement groups are in an unknown state - the OSDs that host them have not
+reported to the monitor cluster in a while (configured by ``mon_osd_report_timeout``).
+
+Valid formats are ``plain`` (default) and ``json``. The threshold defines the minimum number
+of seconds the placement group is stuck before including it in the returned statistics
+(default 300 seconds).
+
+
+Get a PG Map
+============
+
+To get the placement group map for a particular placement group, execute the following::
+
+ ceph pg map {pg-id}
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph pg map 1.6c
+
+Ceph will return the placement group map, the placement group, and the OSD status::
+
+ osdmap e13 pg 1.6c (1.6c) -> up [1,0] acting [1,0]
+
+
+Get a PGs Statistics
+====================
+
+To retrieve statistics for a particular placement group, execute the following::
+
+ ceph pg {pg-id} query
+
+
+Scrub a Placement Group
+=======================
+
+To scrub a placement group, execute the following::
+
+ ceph pg scrub {pg-id}
+
+Ceph checks the primary and any replica nodes, generates a catalog of all objects
+in the placement group and compares them to ensure that no objects are missing
+or mismatched, and their contents are consistent. Assuming the replicas all
+match, a final semantic sweep ensures that all of the snapshot-related object
+metadata is consistent. Errors are reported via logs.
+
+Prioritize backfill/recovery of a Placement Group(s)
+====================================================
+
+You may run into a situation where a bunch of placement groups will require
+recovery and/or backfill, and some particular groups hold data more important
+than others (for example, those PGs may hold data for images used by running
+machines and other PGs may be used by inactive machines/less relevant data).
+In that case, you may want to prioritize recovery of those groups so
+performance and/or availability of data stored on those groups is restored
+earlier. To do this (mark particular placement group(s) as prioritized during
+backfill or recovery), execute the following::
+
+ ceph pg force-recovery {pg-id} [{pg-id #2}] [{pg-id #3} ...]
+ ceph pg force-backfill {pg-id} [{pg-id #2}] [{pg-id #3} ...]
+
+This will cause Ceph to perform recovery or backfill on specified placement
+groups first, before other placement groups. This does not interrupt currently
+ongoing backfills or recovery, but causes specified PGs to be processed
+as soon as possible. If you change your mind or prioritize wrong groups,
+use::
+
+ ceph pg cancel-force-recovery {pg-id} [{pg-id #2}] [{pg-id #3} ...]
+ ceph pg cancel-force-backfill {pg-id} [{pg-id #2}] [{pg-id #3} ...]
+
+This will remove "force" flag from those PGs and they will be processed
+in default order. Again, this doesn't affect currently processed placement
+group, only those that are still queued.
+
+The "force" flag is cleared automatically after recovery or backfill of group
+is done.
+
+Revert Lost
+===========
+
+If the cluster has lost one or more objects, and you have decided to
+abandon the search for the lost data, you must mark the unfound objects
+as ``lost``.
+
+If all possible locations have been queried and objects are still
+lost, you may have to give up on the lost objects. This is
+possible given unusual combinations of failures that allow the cluster
+to learn about writes that were performed before the writes themselves
+are recovered.
+
+Currently the only supported option is "revert", which will either roll back to
+a previous version of the object or (if it was a new object) forget about it
+entirely. To mark the "unfound" objects as "lost", execute the following::
+
+ ceph pg {pg-id} mark_unfound_lost revert|delete
+
+.. important:: Use this feature with caution, because it may confuse
+ applications that expect the object(s) to exist.

+ Pools
+=======
+
+When you first deploy a cluster without creating a pool, Ceph uses the default
+pools for storing data. A pool provides you with:
+
+- **Resilience**: You can set how many OSD are allowed to fail without losing data.
+ For replicated pools, it is the desired number of copies/replicas of an object.
+ A typical configuration stores an object and one additional copy
+ (i.e., ``size = 2``), but you can determine the number of copies/replicas.
+ For `erasure coded pools <../erasure-code>`_, it is the number of coding chunks
+ (i.e. ``m=2`` in the **erasure code profile**)
+
+- **Placement Groups**: You can set the number of placement groups for the pool.
+ A typical configuration uses approximately 100 placement groups per OSD to
+ provide optimal balancing without using up too many computing resources. When
+ setting up multiple pools, be careful to ensure you set a reasonable number of
+ placement groups for both the pool and the cluster as a whole.
+
+- **CRUSH Rules**: When you store data in a pool, a CRUSH ruleset mapped to the
+ pool enables CRUSH to identify a rule for the placement of the object
+ and its replicas (or chunks for erasure coded pools) in your cluster.
+ You can create a custom CRUSH rule for your pool.
+
+- **Snapshots**: When you create snapshots with ``ceph osd pool mksnap``,
+ you effectively take a snapshot of a particular pool.
+
+To organize data into pools, you can list, create, and remove pools.
+You can also view the utilization statistics for each pool.
+
+List Pools
+==========
+
+To list your cluster's pools, execute::
+
+ ceph osd lspools
+
+On a freshly installed cluster, only the ``rbd`` pool exists.
+
+
+.. _createpool:
+
+Create a Pool
+=============
+
+Before creating pools, refer to the `Pool, PG and CRUSH Config Reference`_.
+Ideally, you should override the default value for the number of placement
+groups in your Ceph configuration file, as the default is NOT ideal.
+For details on placement group numbers refer to `setting the number of placement groups`_
+
+.. note:: Starting with Luminous, all pools need to be associated to the
+ application using the pool. See `Associate Pool to Application`_ below for
+ more information.
+
+For example::
+
+ osd pool default pg num = 100
+ osd pool default pgp num = 100
+
+To create a pool, execute::
+
+ ceph osd pool create {pool-name} {pg-num} [{pgp-num}] [replicated] \
+ [crush-rule-name] [expected-num-objects]
+ ceph osd pool create {pool-name} {pg-num} {pgp-num} erasure \
+ [erasure-code-profile] [crush-rule-name] [expected_num_objects]
+
+Where:
+
+``{pool-name}``
+
+:Description: The name of the pool. It must be unique.
+:Type: String
+:Required: Yes.
+
+``{pg-num}``
+
+:Description: The total number of placement groups for the pool. See `Placement
+ Groups`_ for details on calculating a suitable number. The
+ default value ``8`` is NOT suitable for most systems.
+
+:Type: Integer
+:Required: Yes.
+:Default: 8
+
+``{pgp-num}``
+
+:Description: The total number of placement groups for placement purposes. This
+ **should be equal to the total number of placement groups**, except
+ for placement group splitting scenarios.
+
+:Type: Integer
+:Required: Yes. Picks up default or Ceph configuration value if not specified.
+:Default: 8
+
+``{replicated|erasure}``
+
+:Description: The pool type which may either be **replicated** to
+ recover from lost OSDs by keeping multiple copies of the
+ objects or **erasure** to get a kind of
+ `generalized RAID5 <../erasure-code>`_ capability.
+ The **replicated** pools require more
+ raw storage but implement all Ceph operations. The
+ **erasure** pools require less raw storage but only
+ implement a subset of the available operations.
+
+:Type: String
+:Required: No.
+:Default: replicated
+
+``[crush-rule-name]``
+
+:Description: The name of a CRUSH rule to use for this pool. The specified
+ rule must exist.
+
+:Type: String
+:Required: No.
+:Default: For **replicated** pools it is the ruleset specified by the ``osd
+ pool default crush replicated ruleset`` config variable. This
+ ruleset must exist.
+ For **erasure** pools it is ``erasure-code`` if the ``default``
+ `erasure code profile`_ is used or ``{pool-name}`` otherwise. This
+ ruleset will be created implicitly if it doesn't exist already.
+
+
+``[erasure-code-profile=profile]``
+
+.. _erasure code profile: ../erasure-code-profile
+
+:Description: For **erasure** pools only. Use the `erasure code profile`_. It
+ must be an existing profile as defined by
+ **osd erasure-code-profile set**.
+
+:Type: String
+:Required: No.
+
+When you create a pool, set the number of placement groups to a reasonable value
+(e.g., ``100``). Consider the total number of placement groups per OSD too.
+Placement groups are computationally expensive, so performance will degrade when
+you have many pools with many placement groups (e.g., 50 pools with 100
+placement groups each). The point of diminishing returns depends upon the power
+of the OSD host.
+
+See `Placement Groups`_ for details on calculating an appropriate number of
+placement groups for your pool.
+
+.. _Placement Groups: ../placement-groups
+
+``[expected-num-objects]``
+
+:Description: The expected number of objects for this pool. By setting this value (
+ together with a negative **filestore merge threshold**), the PG folder
+ splitting would happen at the pool creation time, to avoid the latency
+ impact to do a runtime folder splitting.
+
+:Type: Integer
+:Required: No.
+:Default: 0, no splitting at the pool creation time.
+
+Associate Pool to Application
+=============================
+
+Pools need to be associated with an application before use. Pools that will be
+used with CephFS or pools that are automatically created by RGW are
+automatically associated. Pools that are intended for use with RBD should be
+initialized using the ``rbd`` tool (see `Block Device Commands`_ for more
+information).
+
+For other cases, you can manually associate a free-form application name to
+a pool.::
+
+ ceph osd pool application enable {pool-name} {application-name}
+
+.. note:: CephFS uses the application name ``cephfs``, RBD uses the
+ application name ``rbd``, and RGW uses the application name ``rgw``.
+
+Set Pool Quotas
+===============
+
+You can set pool quotas for the maximum number of bytes and/or the maximum
+number of objects per pool. ::
+
+ ceph osd pool set-quota {pool-name} [max_objects {obj-count}] [max_bytes {bytes}]
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph osd pool set-quota data max_objects 10000
+
+To remove a quota, set its value to ``0``.
+
+
+Delete a Pool
+=============
+
+To delete a pool, execute::
+
+ ceph osd pool delete {pool-name} [{pool-name} --yes-i-really-really-mean-it]
+
+
+To remove a pool the mon_allow_pool_delete flag must be set to true in the Monitor's
+configuration. Otherwise they will refuse to remove a pool.
+
+See `Monitor Configuration`_ for more information.
+
+.. _Monitor Configuration: ../../configuration/mon-config-ref
+
+If you created your own rulesets and rules for a pool you created, you should
+consider removing them when you no longer need your pool::
+
+ ceph osd pool get {pool-name} crush_ruleset
+
+If the ruleset was "123", for example, you can check the other pools like so::
+
+ ceph osd dump | grep "^pool" | grep "crush_ruleset 123"
+
+If no other pools use that custom ruleset, then it's safe to delete that
+ruleset from the cluster.
+
+If you created users with permissions strictly for a pool that no longer
+exists, you should consider deleting those users too::
+
+ ceph auth ls | grep -C 5 {pool-name}
+ ceph auth del {user}
+
+
+Rename a Pool
+=============
+
+To rename a pool, execute::
+
+ ceph osd pool rename {current-pool-name} {new-pool-name}
+
+If you rename a pool and you have per-pool capabilities for an authenticated
+user, you must update the user's capabilities (i.e., caps) with the new pool
+name.
+
+.. note:: Version ``0.48`` Argonaut and above.
+
+Show Pool Statistics
+====================
+
+To show a pool's utilization statistics, execute::
+
+ rados df
+
+
+Make a Snapshot of a Pool
+=========================
+
+To make a snapshot of a pool, execute::
+
+ ceph osd pool mksnap {pool-name} {snap-name}
+
+.. note:: Version ``0.48`` Argonaut and above.
+
+
+Remove a Snapshot of a Pool
+===========================
+

+Set the Number of Object Replicas
+=================================
+
+To set the number of object replicas on a replicated pool, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd pool set {poolname} size {num-replicas}
+
+.. important:: The ``{num-replicas}`` includes the object itself.
+ If you want the object and two copies of the object for a total of
+ three instances of the object, specify ``3``.
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph osd pool set data size 3
+
+You may execute this command for each pool. **Note:** An object might accept
+I/Os in degraded mode with fewer than ``pool size`` replicas. To set a minimum
+number of required replicas for I/O, you should use the ``min_size`` setting.
+For example::
+
+ ceph osd pool set data min_size 2
+
+This ensures that no object in the data pool will receive I/O with fewer than
+``min_size`` replicas.
+
+
+Get the Number of Object Replicas
+=================================
+
+To get the number of object replicas, execute the following::
+
+ ceph osd dump | grep 'replicated size'
+
+Ceph will list the pools, with the ``replicated size`` attribute highlighted.
+By default, ceph creates two replicas of an object (a total of three copies, or
+a size of 3).

+Using the pg-upmap
+==================
+
+Starting in Luminous v12.2.z there is a new *pg-upmap* exception table
+in the OSDMap that allows the cluster to explicitly map specific PGs to
+specific OSDs. This allows the cluster to fine-tune the data
+distribution to, in most cases, perfectly distributed PGs across OSDs.
+
+The key caveat to this new mechanism is that it requires that all
+clients understand the new *pg-upmap* structure in the OSDMap.
+
+Enabling
+--------
+
+To allow use of the feature, you must tell the cluster that it only
+needs to support luminous (and newer) clients with::
+
+ ceph osd set-require-min-compat-client luminous
+
+This command will fail if any pre-luminous clients or daemons are
+connected to the monitors. You can see what client versions are in
+use with::
+
+ ceph features
+
+A word of caution
+-----------------
+
+This is a new feature and not very user friendly. At the time of this
+writing we are working on a new `balancer` module for ceph-mgr that
+will eventually do all of this automatically.
+
+Until then,
+
+Offline optimization
+--------------------
+
+Upmap entries are updated with an offline optimizer built into ``osdmaptool``.
+
+#. Grab the latest copy of your osdmap::
+
+ ceph osd getmap -o om
+
+#. Run the optimizer::
+
+ osdmaptool om --upmap out.txt [--upmap-pool <pool>] [--upmap-max <max-count>] [--upmap-deviation <max-deviation>]
+
+ It is highly recommended that optimization be done for each pool
+ individually, or for sets of similarly-utilized pools. You can
+ specify the ``--upmap-pool`` option multiple times. "Similar pools"
+ means pools that are mapped to the same devices and store the same
+ kind of data (e.g., RBD image pools, yes; RGW index pool and RGW
+ data pool, no).
+
+ The ``max-count`` value is the maximum number of upmap entries to
+ identify in the run. The default is 100, but you may want to make
+ this a smaller number so that the tool completes more quickly (but
+ does less work). If it cannot find any additional changes to make
+ it will stop early (i.e., when the pool distribution is perfect).
+
+ The ``max-deviation`` value defaults to `.01` (i.e., 1%). If an OSD
+ utilization varies from the average by less than this amount it
+ will be considered perfect.
+
+#. The proposed changes are written to the output file ``out.txt`` in
+ the example above. These are normal ceph CLI commands that can be
+ run to apply the changes to the cluster. This can be done with::
+
+ source out.txt
+
+The above steps can be repeated as many times as necessary to achieve
+a perfect distribution of PGs for each set of pools.
+
+You can see some (gory) details about what the tool is doing by
+passing ``--debug-osd 10`` to ``osdmaptool``.

+ User Management
+=================
+
+This document describes :term:`Ceph Client` users, and their authentication and

+individuals or system actors such as applications, which use Ceph clients to
+interact with the Ceph Storage Cluster daemons.

+ actor
+
+
+When Ceph runs with authentication and authorization enabled (enabled by
+default), you must specify a user name and a keyring containing the secret key
+of the specified user (usually via the command line). If you do not specify a
+user name, Ceph will use ``client.admin`` as the default user name. If you do
+not specify a keyring, Ceph will look for a keyring via the ``keyring`` setting
+in the Ceph configuration. For example, if you execute the ``ceph health``
+command without specifying a user or keyring::
+
+ ceph health
+
+Ceph interprets the command like this::
+
+ ceph -n client.admin --keyring=/etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring health
+
+Alternatively, you may use the ``CEPH_ARGS`` environment variable to avoid
+re-entry of the user name and secret.
+
+For details on configuring the Ceph Storage Cluster to use authentication,
+see `Cephx Config Reference`_. For details on the architecture of Cephx, see
+`Architecture - High Availability Authentication`_.
+
+
+Background
+==========
+
+Irrespective of the type of Ceph client (e.g., Block Device, Object Storage,
+Filesystem, native API, etc.), Ceph stores all data as objects within `pools`_.
+Ceph users must have access to pools in order to read and write data.
+Additionally, Ceph users must have execute permissions to use Ceph's
+administrative commands. The following concepts will help you understand Ceph
+user management.
+
+
+User
+----
+
+A user is either an individual or a system actor such as an application.
+Creating users allows you to control who (or what) can access your Ceph Storage
+Cluster, its pools, and the data within pools.
+
+Ceph has the notion of a ``type`` of user. For the purposes of user management,
+the type will always be ``client``. Ceph identifies users in period (.)
+delimited form consisting of the user type and the user ID: for example,
+``TYPE.ID``, ``client.admin``, or ``client.user1``. The reason for user typing
+is that Ceph Monitors, OSDs, and Metadata Servers also use the Cephx protocol,
+but they are not clients. Distinguishing the user type helps to distinguish
+between client users and other users--streamlining access control, user
+monitoring and traceability.
+
+Sometimes Ceph's user type may seem confusing, because the Ceph command line
+allows you to specify a user with or without the type, depending upon your
+command line usage. If you specify ``--user`` or ``--id``, you can omit the
+type. So ``client.user1`` can be entered simply as ``user1``. If you specify
+``--name`` or ``-n``, you must specify the type and name, such as
+``client.user1``. We recommend using the type and name as a best practice
+wherever possible.
+
+.. note:: A Ceph Storage Cluster user is not the same as a Ceph Object Storage
+ user or a Ceph Filesystem user. The Ceph Object Gateway uses a Ceph Storage
+ Cluster user to communicate between the gateway daemon and the storage
+ cluster, but the gateway has its own user management functionality for end
+ users. The Ceph Filesystem uses POSIX semantics. The user space associated
+ with the Ceph Filesystem is not the same as a Ceph Storage Cluster user.
+
+
+
+Authorization (Capabilities)
+----------------------------
+
+Ceph uses the term "capabilities" (caps) to describe authorizing an
+authenticated user to exercise the functionality of the monitors, OSDs and
+metadata servers. Capabilities can also restrict access to data within a pool or
+a namespace within a pool. A Ceph administrative user sets a user's
+capabilities when creating or updating a user.
+
+Capability syntax follows the form::
+
+ {daemon-type} '{capspec}[, {capspec} ...]'
+
+- **Monitor Caps:** Monitor capabilities include ``r``, ``w``, ``x`` access
+ settings or ``profile {name}``. For example::
+
+ mon 'allow rwx'
+ mon 'profile osd'
+
+- **OSD Caps:** OSD capabilities include ``r``, ``w``, ``x``, ``class-read``,
+ ``class-write`` access settings or ``profile {name}``. Additionally, OSD
+ capabilities also allow for pool and namespace settings. ::
+
+ osd 'allow {access} [pool={pool-name} [namespace={namespace-name}]]'
+ osd 'profile {name} [pool={pool-name} [namespace={namespace-name}]]'
+
+- **Metadata Server Caps:** For administrators, use ``allow *``. For all
+ other users, such as CephFS clients, consult :doc:`/cephfs/client-auth`
+
+
+.. note:: The Ceph Object Gateway daemon (``radosgw``) is a client of the
+ Ceph Storage Cluster, so it is not represented as a Ceph Storage
+ Cluster daemon type.
+
+The following entries describe each capability.
+
+``allow``
+
+:Description: Precedes access settings for a daemon. Implies ``rw``
+ for MDS only.
+
+
+``r``

+ heartbeat traffic and status reporting.
+
+

+ monitors.
+
+
+``profile bootstrap-osd`` (Monitor only)

+ deployment tools such as ``ceph-disk``, ``ceph-deploy``, etc.
+ so that they have permissions to add keys, etc. when
+ bootstrapping an OSD.
+
+
+``profile bootstrap-mds`` (Monitor only)
+
+:Description: Gives a user permissions to bootstrap a metadata server.
+ Conferred on deployment tools such as ``ceph-deploy``, etc.
+ so they have permissions to add keys, etc. when bootstrapping
+ a metadata server.
+
+``profile rbd`` (Monitor and OSD)
+
+:Description: Gives a user permissions to manipulate RBD images. When used
+ as a Monitor cap, it provides the minimal privileges required
+ by an RBD client application. When used as an OSD cap, it
+ provides read-write access to an RBD client application.
+
+``profile rbd-read-only`` (OSD only)
+
+:Description: Gives a user read-only permissions to an RBD image.
+
+
+Pool
+----
+
+A pool is a logical partition where users store data.
+In Ceph deployments, it is common to create a pool as a logical partition for
+similar types of data. For example, when deploying Ceph as a backend for
+OpenStack, a typical deployment would have pools for volumes, images, backups
+and virtual machines, and users such as ``client.glance``, ``client.cinder``,
+etc.
+
+
+Namespace
+---------
+
+Objects within a pool can be associated to a namespace--a logical group of
+objects within the pool. A user's access to a pool can be associated with a
+namespace such that reads and writes by the user take place only within the
+namespace. Objects written to a namespace within the pool can only be accessed
+by users who have access to the namespace.
+
+.. note:: Namespaces are primarily useful for applications written on top of
+ ``librados`` where the logical grouping can alleviate the need to create
+ different pools. Ceph Object Gateway (from ``luminous``) uses namespaces for various
+ metadata objects.
+
+The rationale for namespaces is that pools can be a computationally expensive
+method of segregating data sets for the purposes of authorizing separate sets
+of users. For example, a pool should have ~100 placement groups per OSD. So an
+exemplary cluster with 1000 OSDs would have 100,000 placement groups for one
+pool. Each pool would create another 100,000 placement groups in the exemplary
+cluster. By contrast, writing an object to a namespace simply associates the
+namespace to the object name with out the computational overhead of a separate
+pool. Rather than creating a separate pool for a user or set of users, you may
+use a namespace. **Note:** Only available using ``librados`` at this time.
+
+
+Managing Users
+==============
+
+User management functionality provides Ceph Storage Cluster administrators with
+the ability to create, update and delete users directly in the Ceph Storage
+Cluster.
+
+When you create or delete users in the Ceph Storage Cluster, you may need to
+distribute keys to clients so that they can be added to keyrings. See `Keyring
+Management`_ for details.
+
+
+List Users
+----------
+
+To list the users in your cluster, execute the following::
+
+ ceph auth ls
+
+Ceph will list out all users in your cluster. For example, in a two-node
+exemplary cluster, ``ceph auth ls`` will output something that looks like
+this::
+
+ installed auth entries:
+
+ osd.0
+ key: AQCvCbtToC6MDhAATtuT70Sl+DymPCfDSsyV4w==
+ caps: [mon] allow profile osd
+ caps: [osd] allow *
+ osd.1
+ key: AQC4CbtTCFJBChAAVq5spj0ff4eHZICxIOVZeA==
+ caps: [mon] allow profile osd
+ caps: [osd] allow *
+ client.admin
+ key: AQBHCbtT6APDHhAA5W00cBchwkQjh3dkKsyPjw==
+ caps: [mds] allow
+ caps: [mon] allow *
+ caps: [osd] allow *
+ client.bootstrap-mds
+ key: AQBICbtTOK9uGBAAdbe5zcIGHZL3T/u2g6EBww==
+ caps: [mon] allow profile bootstrap-mds
+ client.bootstrap-osd
+ key: AQBHCbtT4GxqORAADE5u7RkpCN/oo4e5W0uBtw==
+ caps: [mon] allow profile bootstrap-osd
+
+
+Note that the ``TYPE.ID`` notation for users applies such that ``osd.0`` is a
+user of type ``osd`` and its ID is ``0``, ``client.admin`` is a user of type
+``client`` and its ID is ``admin`` (i.e., the default ``client.admin`` user).
+Note also that each entry has a ``key: <value>`` entry, and one or more
+``caps:`` entries.
+
+You may use the ``-o {filename}`` option with ``ceph auth ls`` to
+save the output to a file.
+
+
+Get a User
+----------
+
+To retrieve a specific user, key and capabilities, execute the
+following::
+
+ ceph auth get {TYPE.ID}
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph auth get client.admin
+
+You may also use the ``-o {filename}`` option with ``ceph auth get`` to
+save the output to a file. Developers may also execute the following::
+
+ ceph auth export {TYPE.ID}
+
+The ``auth export`` command is identical to ``auth get``, but also prints
+out the internal ``auid``, which is not relevant to end users.
+
+
+
+Add a User
+----------
+
+Adding a user creates a username (i.e., ``TYPE.ID``), a secret key and
+any capabilities included in the command you use to create the user.
+
+A user's key enables the user to authenticate with the Ceph Storage Cluster.
+The user's capabilities authorize the user to read, write, or execute on Ceph
+monitors (``mon``), Ceph OSDs (``osd``) or Ceph Metadata Servers (``mds``).
+
+There are a few ways to add a user:
+
+- ``ceph auth add``: This command is the canonical way to add a user. It
+ will create the user, generate a key and add any specified capabilities.
+
+- ``ceph auth get-or-create``: This command is often the most convenient way
+ to create a user, because it returns a keyfile format with the user name
+ (in brackets) and the key. If the user already exists, this command
+ simply returns the user name and key in the keyfile format. You may use the
+ ``-o {filename}`` option to save the output to a file.
+
+- ``ceph auth get-or-create-key``: This command is a convenient way to create
+ a user and return the user's key (only). This is useful for clients that
+ need the key only (e.g., libvirt). If the user already exists, this command
+ simply returns the key. You may use the ``-o {filename}`` option to save the
+ output to a file.
+
+When creating client users, you may create a user with no capabilities. A user
+with no capabilities is useless beyond mere authentication, because the client
+cannot retrieve the cluster map from the monitor. However, you can create a
+user with no capabilities if you wish to defer adding capabilities later using
+the ``ceph auth caps`` command.
+
+A typical user has at least read capabilities on the Ceph monitor and
+read and write capability on Ceph OSDs. Additionally, a user's OSD permissions
+are often restricted to accessing a particular pool. ::
+
+ ceph auth add client.john mon 'allow r' osd 'allow rw pool=liverpool'
+ ceph auth get-or-create client.paul mon 'allow r' osd 'allow rw pool=liverpool'
+ ceph auth get-or-create client.george mon 'allow r' osd 'allow rw pool=liverpool' -o george.keyring
+ ceph auth get-or-create-key client.ringo mon 'allow r' osd 'allow rw pool=liverpool' -o ringo.key
+
+
+.. important:: If you provide a user with capabilities to OSDs, but you DO NOT
+ restrict access to particular pools, the user will have access to ALL
+ pools in the cluster!
+
+
+.. _modify-user-capabilities:
+
+Modify User Capabilities
+------------------------
+
+The ``ceph auth caps`` command allows you to specify a user and change the
+user's capabilities. Setting new capabilities will overwrite current capabilities.
+To view current capabilities run ``ceph auth get USERTYPE.USERID``. To add
+capabilities, you should also specify the existing capabilities when using the form::
+
+ ceph auth caps USERTYPE.USERID {daemon} 'allow [r|w|x|*|...] [pool={pool-name}] [namespace={namespace-name}]' [{daemon} 'allow [r|w|x|*|...] [pool={pool-name}] [namespace={namespace-name}]']
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph auth get client.john
+ ceph auth caps client.john mon 'allow r' osd 'allow rw pool=liverpool'
+ ceph auth caps client.paul mon 'allow rw' osd 'allow rwx pool=liverpool'
+ ceph auth caps client.brian-manager mon 'allow *' osd 'allow *'
+
+To remove a capability, you may reset the capability. If you want the user
+to have no access to a particular daemon that was previously set, specify
+an empty string. For example::
+
+ ceph auth caps client.ringo mon ' ' osd ' '
+
+See `Authorization (Capabilities)`_ for additional details on capabilities.
+
+
+Delete a User
+-------------
+
+To delete a user, use ``ceph auth del``::
+
+ ceph auth del {TYPE}.{ID}
+
+Where ``{TYPE}`` is one of ``client``, ``osd``, ``mon``, or ``mds``,
+and ``{ID}`` is the user name or ID of the daemon.
+
+
+Print a User's Key
+------------------
+
+To print a user's authentication key to standard output, execute the following::
+
+ ceph auth print-key {TYPE}.{ID}
+
+Where ``{TYPE}`` is one of ``client``, ``osd``, ``mon``, or ``mds``,
+and ``{ID}`` is the user name or ID of the daemon.
+
+Printing a user's key is useful when you need to populate client
+software with a user's key (e.g., libvirt). ::
+
+ mount -t ceph serverhost:/ mountpoint -o name=client.user,secret=`ceph auth print-key client.user`
+
+
+Import a User(s)
+----------------
+
+To import one or more users, use ``ceph auth import`` and
+specify a keyring::
+
+ ceph auth import -i /path/to/keyring
+
+For example::
+
+ sudo ceph auth import -i /etc/ceph/ceph.keyring
+
+
+.. note:: The ceph storage cluster will add new users, their keys and their
+ capabilities and will update existing users, their keys and their
+ capabilities.
+
+
+Keyring Management
+==================
+
+When you access Ceph via a Ceph client, the Ceph client will look for a local
+keyring. Ceph presets the ``keyring`` setting with the following four keyring
+names by default so you don't have to set them in your Ceph configuration file
+unless you want to override the defaults (not recommended):
+
+- ``/etc/ceph/$cluster.$name.keyring``
+- ``/etc/ceph/$cluster.keyring``
+- ``/etc/ceph/keyring``
+- ``/etc/ceph/keyring.bin``
+
+The ``$cluster`` metavariable is your Ceph cluster name as defined by the
+name of the Ceph configuration file (i.e., ``ceph.conf`` means the cluster name
+is ``ceph``; thus, ``ceph.keyring``). The ``$name`` metavariable is the user
+type and user ID (e.g., ``client.admin``; thus, ``ceph.client.admin.keyring``).
+
+.. note:: When executing commands that read or write to ``/etc/ceph``, you may
+ need to use ``sudo`` to execute the command as ``root``.
+
+After you create a user (e.g., ``client.ringo``), you must get the key and add
+it to a keyring on a Ceph client so that the user can access the Ceph Storage
+Cluster.
+
+The `User Management`_ section details how to list, get, add, modify and delete
+users directly in the Ceph Storage Cluster. However, Ceph also provides the
+``ceph-authtool`` utility to allow you to manage keyrings from a Ceph client.
+
+
+Create a Keyring
+----------------
+
+When you use the procedures in the `Managing Users`_ section to create users,
+you need to provide user keys to the Ceph client(s) so that the Ceph client
+can retrieve the key for the specified user and authenticate with the Ceph
+Storage Cluster. Ceph Clients access keyrings to lookup a user name and
+retrieve the user's key.
+
+The ``ceph-authtool`` utility allows you to create a keyring. To create an
+empty keyring, use ``--create-keyring`` or ``-C``. For example::
+
+ ceph-authtool --create-keyring /path/to/keyring
+
+When creating a keyring with multiple users, we recommend using the cluster name
+(e.g., ``$cluster.keyring``) for the keyring filename and saving it in the
+``/etc/ceph`` directory so that the ``keyring`` configuration default setting
+will pick up the filename without requiring you to specify it in the local copy
+of your Ceph configuration file. For example, create ``ceph.keyring`` by
+executing the following::
+
+ sudo ceph-authtool -C /etc/ceph/ceph.keyring
+
+When creating a keyring with a single user, we recommend using the cluster name,
+the user type and the user name and saving it in the ``/etc/ceph`` directory.
+For example, ``ceph.client.admin.keyring`` for the ``client.admin`` user.
+
+To create a keyring in ``/etc/ceph``, you must do so as ``root``. This means
+the file will have ``rw`` permissions for the ``root`` user only, which is
+appropriate when the keyring contains administrator keys. However, if you
+intend to use the keyring for a particular user or group of users, ensure
+that you execute ``chown`` or ``chmod`` to establish appropriate keyring
+ownership and access.
+
+
+Add a User to a Keyring
+-----------------------
+
+When you `Add a User`_ to the Ceph Storage Cluster, you can use the `Get a
+User`_ procedure to retrieve a user, key and capabilities and save the user to a
+keyring.
+
+When you only want to use one user per keyring, the `Get a User`_ procedure with
+the ``-o`` option will save the output in the keyring file format. For example,
+to create a keyring for the ``client.admin`` user, execute the following::
+
+ sudo ceph auth get client.admin -o /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring
+
+Notice that we use the recommended file format for an individual user.
+
+When you want to import users to a keyring, you can use ``ceph-authtool``
+to specify the destination keyring and the source keyring.
+For example::
+
+ sudo ceph-authtool /etc/ceph/ceph.keyring --import-keyring /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring
+
+
+Create a User
+-------------
+
+Ceph provides the `Add a User`_ function to create a user directly in the Ceph
+Storage Cluster. However, you can also create a user, keys and capabilities
+directly on a Ceph client keyring. Then, you can import the user to the Ceph
+Storage Cluster. For example::
+
+ sudo ceph-authtool -n client.ringo --cap osd 'allow rwx' --cap mon 'allow rwx' /etc/ceph/ceph.keyring
+
+See `Authorization (Capabilities)`_ for additional details on capabilities.
+
+You can also create a keyring and add a new user to the keyring simultaneously.
+For example::
+
+ sudo ceph-authtool -C /etc/ceph/ceph.keyring -n client.ringo --cap osd 'allow rwx' --cap mon 'allow rwx' --gen-key
+
+In the foregoing scenarios, the new user ``client.ringo`` is only in the
+keyring. To add the new user to the Ceph Storage Cluster, you must still add
+the new user to the Ceph Storage Cluster. ::
+
+ sudo ceph auth add client.ringo -i /etc/ceph/ceph.keyring
+
+
+Modify a User
+-------------
+
+To modify the capabilities of a user record in a keyring, specify the keyring,
+and the user followed by the capabilities. For example::
+
+ sudo ceph-authtool /etc/ceph/ceph.keyring -n client.ringo --cap osd 'allow rwx' --cap mon 'allow rwx'
+
+To update the user to the Ceph Storage Cluster, you must update the user
+in the keyring to the user entry in the the Ceph Storage Cluster. ::
+
+ sudo ceph auth import -i /etc/ceph/ceph.keyring
+
+See `Import a User(s)`_ for details on updating a Ceph Storage Cluster user
+from a keyring.
+
+You may also `Modify User Capabilities`_ directly in the cluster, store the
+results to a keyring file; then, import the keyring into your main
+``ceph.keyring`` file.
+
+
+Command Line Usage
+==================
+
+Ceph supports the following usage for user name and secret:
+
+``--id`` | ``--user``
+
+:Description: Ceph identifies users with a type and an ID (e.g., ``TYPE.ID`` or
+ ``client.admin``, ``client.user1``). The ``id``, ``name`` and
+ ``-n`` options enable you to specify the ID portion of the user
+ name (e.g., ``admin``, ``user1``, ``foo``, etc.). You can specify
+ the user with the ``--id`` and omit the type. For example,
+ to specify user ``client.foo`` enter the following::
+
+ ceph --id foo --keyring /path/to/keyring health
+ ceph --user foo --keyring /path/to/keyring health
+
+
+``--name`` | ``-n``
+
+:Description: Ceph identifies users with a type and an ID (e.g., ``TYPE.ID`` or
+ ``client.admin``, ``client.user1``). The ``--name`` and ``-n``
+ options enables you to specify the fully qualified user name.
+ You must specify the user type (typically ``client``) with the
+ user ID. For example::
+
+ ceph --name client.foo --keyring /path/to/keyring health
+ ceph -n client.foo --keyring /path/to/keyring health
+
+
+``--keyring``
+
+:Description: The path to the keyring containing one or more user name and
+ secret. The ``--secret`` option provides the same functionality,
+ but it does not work with Ceph RADOS Gateway, which uses
+ ``--secret`` for another purpose. You may retrieve a keyring with
+ ``ceph auth get-or-create`` and store it locally. This is a
+ preferred approach, because you can switch user names without
+ switching the keyring path. For example::
+
+ sudo rbd map --id foo --keyring /path/to/keyring mypool/myimage
+
+
+.. _pools: ../pools
+
+
+Limitations
+===========
+
+The ``cephx`` protocol authenticates Ceph clients and servers to each other. It
+is not intended to handle authentication of human users or application programs
+run on their behalf. If that effect is required to handle your access control
+needs, you must have another mechanism, which is likely to be specific to the
+front end used to access the Ceph object store. This other mechanism has the
+role of ensuring that only acceptable users and programs are able to run on the
+machine that Ceph will permit to access its object store.
+
+The keys used to authenticate Ceph clients and servers are typically stored in
+a plain text file with appropriate permissions in a trusted host.
+
+.. important:: Storing keys in plaintext files has security shortcomings, but
+ they are difficult to avoid, given the basic authentication methods Ceph
+ uses in the background. Those setting up Ceph systems should be aware of
+ these shortcomings.
+
+In particular, arbitrary user machines, especially portable machines, should not
+be configured to interact directly with Ceph, since that mode of use would
+require the storage of a plaintext authentication key on an insecure machine.
+Anyone who stole that machine or obtained surreptitious access to it could
+obtain the key that will allow them to authenticate their own machines to Ceph.
+
+Rather than permitting potentially insecure machines to access a Ceph object
+store directly, users should be required to sign in to a trusted machine in
+your environment using a method that provides sufficient security for your
+purposes. That trusted machine will store the plaintext Ceph keys for the
+human users. A future version of Ceph may address these particular
+authentication issues more fully.
+
+At the moment, none of the Ceph authentication protocols provide secrecy for
+messages in transit. Thus, an eavesdropper on the wire can hear and understand
+all data sent between clients and servers in Ceph, even if it cannot create or
+alter them. Further, Ceph does not include options to encrypt user data in the
+object store. Users can hand-encrypt and store their own data in the Ceph
+object store, of course, but Ceph provides no features to perform object
+encryption itself. Those storing sensitive data in Ceph should consider
+encrypting their data before providing it to the Ceph system.

+=======================
+ Logging and Debugging
+=======================
+
+Typically, when you add debugging to your Ceph configuration, you do so at
+runtime. You can also add Ceph debug logging to your Ceph configuration file if
+you are encountering issues when starting your cluster. You may view Ceph log
+files under ``/var/log/ceph`` (the default location).
+
+.. tip:: When debug output slows down your system, the latency can hide
+ race conditions.
+
+Logging is resource intensive. If you are encountering a problem in a specific
+area of your cluster, enable logging for that area of the cluster. For example,
+if your OSDs are running fine, but your metadata servers are not, you should
+start by enabling debug logging for the specific metadata server instance(s)
+giving you trouble. Enable logging for each subsystem as needed.
+
+.. important:: Verbose logging can generate over 1GB of data per hour. If your
+ OS disk reaches its capacity, the node will stop working.
+
+If you enable or increase the rate of Ceph logging, ensure that you have
+sufficient disk space on your OS disk. See `Accelerating Log Rotation`_ for
+details on rotating log files. When your system is running well, remove
+unnecessary debugging settings to ensure your cluster runs optimally. Logging
+debug output messages is relatively slow, and a waste of resources when
+operating your cluster.
+
+See `Subsystem, Log and Debug Settings`_ for details on available settings.
+
+Runtime
+=======
+
+If you would like to see the configuration settings at runtime, you must log
+in to a host with a running daemon and execute the following::
+
+ ceph daemon {daemon-name} config show | less
+
+For example,::
+
+ ceph daemon osd.0 config show | less
+
+To activate Ceph's debugging output (*i.e.*, ``dout()``) at runtime, use the
+``ceph tell`` command to inject arguments into the runtime configuration::
+
+ ceph tell {daemon-type}.{daemon id or *} injectargs --{name} {value} [--{name} {value}]
+
+Replace ``{daemon-type}`` with one of ``osd``, ``mon`` or ``mds``. You may apply
+the runtime setting to all daemons of a particular type with ``*``, or specify
+a specific daemon's ID. For example, to increase
+debug logging for a ``ceph-osd`` daemon named ``osd.0``, execute the following::
+
+ ceph tell osd.0 injectargs --debug-osd 0/5
+
+The ``ceph tell`` command goes through the monitors. If you cannot bind to the
+monitor, you can still make the change by logging into the host of the daemon
+whose configuration you'd like to change using ``ceph daemon``.
+For example::
+
+ sudo ceph daemon osd.0 config set debug_osd 0/5
+
+See `Subsystem, Log and Debug Settings`_ for details on available settings.
+
+
+Boot Time
+=========
+
+To activate Ceph's debugging output (*i.e.*, ``dout()``) at boot time, you must
+add settings to your Ceph configuration file. Subsystems common to each daemon
+may be set under ``[global]`` in your configuration file. Subsystems for
+particular daemons are set under the daemon section in your configuration file
+(*e.g.*, ``[mon]``, ``[osd]``, ``[mds]``). For example::
+
+ [global]
+ debug ms = 1/5
+
+ [mon]
+ debug mon = 20
+ debug paxos = 1/5
+ debug auth = 2
+
+ [osd]
+ debug osd = 1/5
+ debug filestore = 1/5
+ debug journal = 1
+ debug monc = 5/20
+
+ [mds]
+ debug mds = 1
+ debug mds balancer = 1
+
+
+See `Subsystem, Log and Debug Settings`_ for details.
+
+
+Accelerating Log Rotation
+=========================
+
+If your OS disk is relatively full, you can accelerate log rotation by modifying
+the Ceph log rotation file at ``/etc/logrotate.d/ceph``. Add a size setting
+after the rotation frequency to accelerate log rotation (via cronjob) if your
+logs exceed the size setting. For example, the default setting looks like
+this::
+
+ rotate 7
+ weekly
+ compress
+ sharedscripts
+
+Modify it by adding a ``size`` setting. ::
+
+ rotate 7
+ weekly
+ size 500M
+ compress
+ sharedscripts
+
+Then, start the crontab editor for your user space. ::
+
+ crontab -e
+
+Finally, add an entry to check the ``etc/logrotate.d/ceph`` file. ::
+
+ 30 * * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/ceph >/dev/null 2>&1
+
+The preceding example checks the ``etc/logrotate.d/ceph`` file every 30 minutes.
+
+
+Valgrind
+========
+
+Debugging may also require you to track down memory and threading issues.
+You can run a single daemon, a type of daemon, or the whole cluster with
+Valgrind. You should only use Valgrind when developing or debugging Ceph.
+Valgrind is computationally expensive, and will slow down your system otherwise.
+Valgrind messages are logged to ``stderr``.
+
+
+Subsystem, Log and Debug Settings
+=================================
+
+In most cases, you will enable debug logging output via subsystems.
+
+Ceph Subsystems
+---------------
+
+Each subsystem has a logging level for its output logs, and for its logs
+in-memory. You may set different values for each of these subsystems by setting
+a log file level and a memory level for debug logging. Ceph's logging levels
+operate on a scale of ``1`` to ``20``, where ``1`` is terse and ``20`` is
+verbose [#]_ . In general, the logs in-memory are not sent to the output log unless:
+
+- a fatal signal is raised or
+- an ``assert`` in source code is triggered or
+- upon requested. Please consult `document on admin socket <http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/man/8/ceph/#daemon>`_ for more details.
+
+A debug logging setting can take a single value for the log level and the
+memory level, which sets them both as the same value. For example, if you
+specify ``debug ms = 5``, Ceph will treat it as a log level and a memory level
+of ``5``. You may also specify them separately. The first setting is the log
+level, and the second setting is the memory level. You must separate them with
+a forward slash (/). For example, if you want to set the ``ms`` subsystem's
+debug logging level to ``1`` and its memory level to ``5``, you would specify it
+as ``debug ms = 1/5``. For example:
+
+
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ debug {subsystem} = {log-level}/{memory-level}
+ #for example
+ debug mds balancer = 1/20
+
+
+The following table provides a list of Ceph subsystems and their default log and
+memory levels. Once you complete your logging efforts, restore the subsystems
+to their default level or to a level suitable for normal operations.

+==================
+ Memory Profiling
+==================
+
+Ceph MON, OSD and MDS can generate heap profiles using
+``tcmalloc``. To generate heap profiles, ensure you have
+``google-perftools`` installed::
+
+ sudo apt-get install google-perftools
+
+The profiler dumps output to your ``log file`` directory (i.e.,
+``/var/log/ceph``). See `Logging and Debugging`_ for details.
+To view the profiler logs with Google's performance tools, execute the
+following::
+
+ google-pprof --text {path-to-daemon} {log-path/filename}
+
+For example::
+
+ $ ceph tell osd.0 heap start_profiler
+ $ ceph tell osd.0 heap dump
+ osd.0 tcmalloc heap stats:------------------------------------------------

+
+Refer to `Google Heap Profiler`_ for additional details.
+
+Once you have the heap profiler installed, start your cluster and
+begin using the heap profiler. You may enable or disable the heap
+profiler at runtime, or ensure that it runs continuously. For the
+following commandline usage, replace ``{daemon-type}`` with ``mon``,
+``osd`` or ``mds``, and replace ``{daemon-id}`` with the OSD number or
+the MON or MDS id.
+
+
+Starting the Profiler
+---------------------
+
+To start the heap profiler, execute the following::
+
+ ceph tell {daemon-type}.{daemon-id} heap start_profiler
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph tell osd.1 heap start_profiler
+
+Alternatively the profile can be started when the daemon starts
+running if the ``CEPH_HEAP_PROFILER_INIT=true`` variable is found in
+the environment.
+
+Printing Stats
+--------------
+
+To print out statistics, execute the following::
+
+ ceph tell {daemon-type}.{daemon-id} heap stats
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph tell osd.0 heap stats
+
+.. note:: Printing stats does not require the profiler to be running and does
+ not dump the heap allocation information to a file.
+
+
+Dumping Heap Information
+------------------------
+
+To dump heap information, execute the following::
+
+ ceph tell {daemon-type}.{daemon-id} heap dump
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph tell mds.a heap dump
+
+.. note:: Dumping heap information only works when the profiler is running.
+
+
+Releasing Memory
+----------------
+
+To release memory that ``tcmalloc`` has allocated but which is not being used by
+the Ceph daemon itself, execute the following::
+
+ ceph tell {daemon-type}{daemon-id} heap release
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph tell osd.2 heap release
+
+
+Stopping the Profiler
+---------------------
+
+To stop the heap profiler, execute the following::
+
+ ceph tell {daemon-type}.{daemon-id} heap stop_profiler
+
+For example::
+
+ ceph tell osd.0 heap stop_profiler
+
+.. _Logging and Debugging: ../log-and-debug

+=================================
+ Troubleshooting Monitors
+=================================
+
+.. index:: monitor, high availability
+
+When a cluster encounters monitor-related troubles there's a tendency to
+panic, and some times with good reason. You should keep in mind that losing
+a monitor, or a bunch of them, don't necessarily mean that your cluster is
+down, as long as a majority is up, running and with a formed quorum.
+Regardless of how bad the situation is, the first thing you should do is to
+calm down, take a breath and try answering our initial troubleshooting script.
+
+
+Initial Troubleshooting
+========================
+
+
+**Are the monitors running?**
+
+ First of all, we need to make sure the monitors are running. You would be
+ amazed by how often people forget to run the monitors, or restart them after
+ an upgrade. There's no shame in that, but let's try not losing a couple of
+ hours chasing an issue that is not there.
+
+**Are you able to connect to the monitor's servers?**
+
+ Doesn't happen often, but sometimes people do have ``iptables`` rules that
+ block accesses to monitor servers or monitor ports. Usually leftovers from
+ monitor stress-testing that were forgotten at some point. Try ssh'ing into
+ the server and, if that succeeds, try connecting to the monitor's port
+ using you tool of choice (telnet, nc,...).
+
+**Does ceph -s run and obtain a reply from the cluster?**
+
+ If the answer is yes then your cluster is up and running. One thing you
+ can take for granted is that the monitors will only answer to a ``status``
+ request if there is a formed quorum.
+
+ If ``ceph -s`` blocked however, without obtaining a reply from the cluster
+ or showing a lot of ``fault`` messages, then it is likely that your monitors
+ are either down completely or just a portion is up -- a portion that is not
+ enough to form a quorum (keep in mind that a quorum if formed by a majority
+ of monitors).
+
+**What if ceph -s doesn't finish?**
+
+ If you haven't gone through all the steps so far, please go back and do.
+
+ For those running on Emperor 0.72-rc1 and forward, you will be able to
+ contact each monitor individually asking them for their status, regardless
+ of a quorum being formed. This an be achieved using ``ceph ping mon.ID``,
+ ID being the monitor's identifier. You should perform this for each monitor
+ in the cluster. In section `Understanding mon_status`_ we will explain how
+ to interpret the output of this command.
+
+ For the rest of you who don't tread on the bleeding edge, you will need to
+ ssh into the server and use the monitor's admin socket. Please jump to
+ `Using the monitor's admin socket`_.
+
+For other specific issues, keep on reading.
+
+
+Using the monitor's admin socket
+=================================
+
+The admin socket allows you to interact with a given daemon directly using a
+Unix socket file. This file can be found in your monitor's ``run`` directory.
+By default, the admin socket will be kept in ``/var/run/ceph/ceph-mon.ID.asok``
+but this can vary if you defined it otherwise. If you don't find it there,
+please check your ``ceph.conf`` for an alternative path or run::
+
+ ceph-conf --name mon.ID --show-config-value admin_socket
+
+Please bear in mind that the admin socket will only be available while the
+monitor is running. When the monitor is properly shutdown, the admin socket
+will be removed. If however the monitor is not running and the admin socket
+still persists, it is likely that the monitor was improperly shutdown.
+Regardless, if the monitor is not running, you will not be able to use the
+admin socket, with ``ceph`` likely returning ``Error 111: Connection Refused``.
+
+Accessing the admin socket is as simple as telling the ``ceph`` tool to use
+the ``asok`` file. In pre-Dumpling Ceph, this can be achieved by::
+
+ ceph --admin-daemon /var/run/ceph/ceph-mon.<id>.asok <command>
+
+while in Dumpling and beyond you can use the alternate (and recommended)
+format::
+
+ ceph daemon mon.<id> <command>
+
+Using ``help`` as the command to the ``ceph`` tool will show you the
+supported commands available through the admin socket. Please take a look
+at ``config get``, ``config show``, ``mon_status`` and ``quorum_status``,
+as those can be enlightening when troubleshooting a monitor.
+
+
+Understanding mon_status
+=========================
+
+``mon_status`` can be obtained through the ``ceph`` tool when you have
+a formed quorum, or via the admin socket if you don't. This command will
+output a multitude of information about the monitor, including the same
+output you would get with ``quorum_status``.
+
+Take the following example of ``mon_status``::
+
+
+ { "name": "c",
+ "rank": 2,
+ "state": "peon",
+ "election_epoch": 38,
+ "quorum": [
+ 1,
+ 2],
+ "outside_quorum": [],
+ "extra_probe_peers": [],
+ "sync_provider": [],
+ "monmap": { "epoch": 3,
+ "fsid": "5c4e9d53-e2e1-478a-8061-f543f8be4cf8",
+ "modified": "2013-10-30 04:12:01.945629",
+ "created": "2013-10-29 14:14:41.914786",
+ "mons": [
+ { "rank": 0,
+ "name": "a",
+ "addr": "127.0.0.1:6789\/0"},
+ { "rank": 1,
+ "name": "b",
+ "addr": "127.0.0.1:6790\/0"},
+ { "rank": 2,
+ "name": "c",
+ "addr": "127.0.0.1:6795\/0"}]}}
+
+A couple of things are obvious: we have three monitors in the monmap (*a*, *b*
+and *c*), the quorum is formed by only two monitors, and *c* is in the quorum
+as a *peon*.
+
+Which monitor is out of the quorum?
+
+ The answer would be **a**.
+
+Why?
+
+ Take a look at the ``quorum`` set. We have two monitors in this set: *1*
+ and *2*. These are not monitor names. These are monitor ranks, as established
+ in the current monmap. We are missing the monitor with rank 0, and according
+ to the monmap that would be ``mon.a``.
+
+By the way, how are ranks established?
+
+ Ranks are (re)calculated whenever you add or remove monitors and follow a
+ simple rule: the **greater** the ``IP:PORT`` combination, the **lower** the
+ rank is. In this case, considering that ``127.0.0.1:6789`` is lower than all
+ the remaining ``IP:PORT`` combinations, ``mon.a`` has rank 0.
+
+Most Common Monitor Issues
+===========================
+
+Have Quorum but at least one Monitor is down
+---------------------------------------------
+
+When this happens, depending on the version of Ceph you are running,
+you should be seeing something similar to::
+
+ $ ceph health detail
+ [snip]
+ mon.a (rank 0) addr 127.0.0.1:6789/0 is down (out of quorum)
+
+How to troubleshoot this?
+
+ First, make sure ``mon.a`` is running.
+
+ Second, make sure you are able to connect to ``mon.a``'s server from the
+ other monitors' servers. Check the ports as well. Check ``iptables`` on
+ all your monitor nodes and make sure you are not dropping/rejecting
+ connections.
+
+ If this initial troubleshooting doesn't solve your problems, then it's
+ time to go deeper.
+
+ First, check the problematic monitor's ``mon_status`` via the admin
+ socket as explained in `Using the monitor's admin socket`_ and
+ `Understanding mon_status`_.
+
+ Considering the monitor is out of the quorum, its state should be one of
+ ``probing``, ``electing`` or ``synchronizing``. If it happens to be either
+ ``leader`` or ``peon``, then the monitor believes to be in quorum, while
+ the remaining cluster is sure it is not; or maybe it got into the quorum
+ while we were troubleshooting the monitor, so check you ``ceph -s`` again
+ just to make sure. Proceed if the monitor is not yet in the quorum.
+
+What if the state is ``probing``?
+
+ This means the monitor is still looking for the other monitors. Every time
+ you start a monitor, the monitor will stay in this state for some time
+ while trying to find the rest of the monitors specified in the ``monmap``.
+ The time a monitor will spend in this state can vary. For instance, when on
+ a single-monitor cluster, the monitor will pass through the probing state
+ almost instantaneously, since there are no other monitors around. On a
+ multi-monitor cluster, the monitors will stay in this state until they
+ find enough monitors to form a quorum -- this means that if you have 2 out
+ of 3 monitors down, the one remaining monitor will stay in this state
+ indefinitively until you bring one of the other monitors up.
+
+ If you have a quorum, however, the monitor should be able to find the
+ remaining monitors pretty fast, as long as they can be reached. If your
+ monitor is stuck probing and you have gone through with all the communication
+ troubleshooting, then there is a fair chance that the monitor is trying
+ to reach the other monitors on a wrong address. ``mon_status`` outputs the
+ ``monmap`` known to the monitor: check if the other monitor's locations
+ match reality. If they don't, jump to
+ `Recovering a Monitor's Broken monmap`_; if they do, then it may be related
+ to severe clock skews amongst the monitor nodes and you should refer to
+ `Clock Skews`_ first, but if that doesn't solve your problem then it is
+ the time to prepare some logs and reach out to the community (please refer
+ to `Preparing your logs`_ on how to best prepare your logs).
+
+
+What if state is ``electing``?
+
+ This means the monitor is in the middle of an election. These should be
+ fast to complete, but at times the monitors can get stuck electing. This
+ is usually a sign of a clock skew among the monitor nodes; jump to
+ `Clock Skews`_ for more infos on that. If all your clocks are properly
+ synchronized, it is best if you prepare some logs and reach out to the
+ community. This is not a state that is likely to persist and aside from
+ (*really*) old bugs there is not an obvious reason besides clock skews on
+ why this would happen.
+
+What if state is ``synchronizing``?
+
+ This means the monitor is synchronizing with the rest of the cluster in
+ order to join the quorum. The synchronization process is as faster as
+ smaller your monitor store is, so if you have a big store it may
+ take a while. Don't worry, it should be finished soon enough.
+
+ However, if you notice that the monitor jumps from ``synchronizing`` to
+ ``electing`` and then back to ``synchronizing``, then you do have a
+ problem: the cluster state is advancing (i.e., generating new maps) way
+ too fast for the synchronization process to keep up. This used to be a
+ thing in early Cuttlefish, but since then the synchronization process was
+ quite refactored and enhanced to avoid just this sort of behavior. If this
+ happens in later versions let us know. And bring some logs
+ (see `Preparing your logs`_).
+
+What if state is ``leader`` or ``peon``?
+
+ This should not happen. There is a chance this might happen however, and
+ it has a lot to do with clock skews -- see `Clock Skews`_. If you are not
+ suffering from clock skews, then please prepare your logs (see
+ `Preparing your logs`_) and reach out to us.
+
+
+Recovering a Monitor's Broken monmap
+-------------------------------------
+
+This is how a ``monmap`` usually looks like, depending on the number of
+monitors::
+
+
+ epoch 3
+ fsid 5c4e9d53-e2e1-478a-8061-f543f8be4cf8
+ last_changed 2013-10-30 04:12:01.945629
+ created 2013-10-29 14:14:41.914786
+ 0: 127.0.0.1:6789/0 mon.a
+ 1: 127.0.0.1:6790/0 mon.b
+ 2: 127.0.0.1:6795/0 mon.c
+
+This may not be what you have however. For instance, in some versions of
+early Cuttlefish there was this one bug that could cause your ``monmap``
+to be nullified. Completely filled with zeros. This means that not even
+``monmaptool`` would be able to read it because it would find it hard to
+make sense of only-zeros. Some other times, you may end up with a monitor
+with a severely outdated monmap, thus being unable to find the remaining
+monitors (e.g., say ``mon.c`` is down; you add a new monitor ``mon.d``,
+then remove ``mon.a``, then add a new monitor ``mon.e`` and remove
+``mon.b``; you will end up with a totally different monmap from the one
+``mon.c`` knows).
+
+In this sort of situations, you have two possible solutions:
+
+Scrap the monitor and create a new one
+
+ You should only take this route if you are positive that you won't
+ lose the information kept by that monitor; that you have other monitors
+ and that they are running just fine so that your new monitor is able
+ to synchronize from the remaining monitors. Keep in mind that destroying
+ a monitor, if there are no other copies of its contents, may lead to
+ loss of data.
+
+Inject a monmap into the monitor
+
+ Usually the safest path. You should grab the monmap from the remaining
+ monitors and inject it into the monitor with the corrupted/lost monmap.
+
+ These are the basic steps:
+
+ 1. Is there a formed quorum? If so, grab the monmap from the quorum::
+
+ $ ceph mon getmap -o /tmp/monmap
+
+ 2. No quorum? Grab the monmap directly from another monitor (this
+ assumes the monitor you are grabbing the monmap from has id ID-FOO
+ and has been stopped)::
+
+ $ ceph-mon -i ID-FOO --extract-monmap /tmp/monmap
+
+ 3. Stop the monitor you are going to inject the monmap into.
+
+ 4. Inject the monmap::
+
+ $ ceph-mon -i ID --inject-monmap /tmp/monmap
+
+ 5. Start the monitor
+
+ Please keep in mind that the ability to inject monmaps is a powerful
+ feature that can cause havoc with your monitors if misused as it will
+ overwrite the latest, existing monmap kept by the monitor.
+
+
+Clock Skews
+------------
+
+Monitors can be severely affected by significant clock skews across the
+monitor nodes. This usually translates into weird behavior with no obvious
+cause. To avoid such issues, you should run a clock synchronization tool
+on your monitor nodes.
+
+
+What's the maximum tolerated clock skew?
+
+ By default the monitors will allow clocks to drift up to ``0.05 seconds``.
+
+
+Can I increase the maximum tolerated clock skew?
+
+ This value is configurable via the ``mon-clock-drift-allowed`` option, and
+ although you *CAN* it doesn't mean you *SHOULD*. The clock skew mechanism
+ is in place because clock skewed monitor may not properly behave. We, as
+ developers and QA afficcionados, are comfortable with the current default
+ value, as it will alert the user before the monitors get out hand. Changing
+ this value without testing it first may cause unforeseen effects on the
+ stability of the monitors and overall cluster healthiness, although there is
+ no risk of dataloss.
+
+
+How do I know there's a clock skew?
+
+ The monitors will warn you in the form of a ``HEALTH_WARN``. ``ceph health
+ detail`` should show something in the form of::
+
+ mon.c addr 10.10.0.1:6789/0 clock skew 0.08235s > max 0.05s (latency 0.0045s)
+
+ That means that ``mon.c`` has been flagged as suffering from a clock skew.
+
+
+What should I do if there's a clock skew?
+
+ Synchronize your clocks. Running an NTP client may help. If you are already
+ using one and you hit this sort of issues, check if you are using some NTP
+ server remote to your network and consider hosting your own NTP server on
+ your network. This last option tends to reduce the amount of issues with
+ monitor clock skews.
+
+
+Client Can't Connect or Mount
+------------------------------
+
+Check your IP tables. Some OS install utilities add a ``REJECT`` rule to
+``iptables``. The rule rejects all clients trying to connect to the host except
+for ``ssh``. If your monitor host's IP tables have such a ``REJECT`` rule in
+place, clients connecting from a separate node will fail to mount with a timeout
+error. You need to address ``iptables`` rules that reject clients trying to
+connect to Ceph daemons. For example, you would need to address rules that look
+like this appropriately::
+
+ REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
+
+You may also need to add rules to IP tables on your Ceph hosts to ensure
+that clients can access the ports associated with your Ceph monitors (i.e., port
+6789 by default) and Ceph OSDs (i.e., 6800 through 7300 by default). For
+example::
+
+ iptables -A INPUT -m multiport -p tcp -s {ip-address}/{netmask} --dports 6789,6800:7300 -j ACCEPT
+
+Monitor Store Failures
+======================
+
+Symptoms of store corruption
+----------------------------
+
+Ceph monitor stores the `cluster map`_ in a key/value store such as LevelDB. If
+a monitor fails due to the key/value store corruption, following error messages
+might be found in the monitor log::
+
+ Corruption: error in middle of record
+
+or::
+
+ Corruption: 1 missing files; e.g.: /var/lib/ceph/mon/mon.0/store.db/1234567.ldb
+
+Recovery using healthy monitor(s)
+---------------------------------
+
+If there is any survivers, we can always `replace`_ the corrupted one with a
+new one. And after booting up, the new joiner will sync up with a healthy
+peer, and once it is fully sync'ed, it will be able to serve the clients.
+
+Recovery using OSDs
+-------------------
+
+But what if all monitors fail at the same time? Since users are encouraged to
+deploy at least three monitors in a Ceph cluster, the chance of simultaneous
+failure is rare. But unplanned power-downs in a data center with improperly
+configured disk/fs settings could fail the underlying filesystem, and hence
+kill all the monitors. In this case, we can recover the monitor store with the
+information stored in OSDs.::
+
+ ms=/tmp/mon-store
+ mkdir $ms
+ # collect the cluster map from OSDs
+ for host in $hosts; do
+ rsync -avz $ms user@host:$ms
+ rm -rf $ms
+ ssh user@host <<EOF
+ for osd in /var/lib/osd/osd-*; do
+ ceph-objectstore-tool --data-path \$osd --op update-mon-db --mon-store-path $ms
+ done
+ EOF
+ rsync -avz user@host:$ms $ms
+ done
+ # rebuild the monitor store from the collected map, if the cluster does not
+ # use cephx authentication, we can skip the following steps to update the
+ # keyring with the caps, and there is no need to pass the "--keyring" option.
+ # i.e. just use "ceph-monstore-tool /tmp/mon-store rebuild" instead
+ ceph-authtool /path/to/admin.keyring -n mon. \
+ --cap mon 'allow *'
+ ceph-authtool /path/to/admin.keyring -n client.admin \
+ --cap mon 'allow *' --cap osd 'allow *' --cap mds 'allow *'
+ ceph-monstore-tool /tmp/mon-store rebuild -- --keyring /path/to/admin.keyring
+ # backup corrupted store.db just in case
+ mv /var/lib/ceph/mon/mon.0/store.db /var/lib/ceph/mon/mon.0/store.db.corrupted
+ mv /tmp/mon-store/store.db /var/lib/ceph/mon/mon.0/store.db
+ chown -R ceph:ceph /var/lib/ceph/mon/mon.0/store.db
+
+The steps above
+
+#. collect the map from all OSD hosts,
+#. then rebuild the store,
+#. fill the entities in keyring file with appropriate caps
+#. replace the corrupted store on ``mon.0`` with the recovered copy.
+
+Known limitations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Following information are not recoverable using the steps above:
+
+- **some added keyrings**: all the OSD keyrings added using ``ceph auth add`` command
+ are recovered from the OSD's copy. And the ``client.admin`` keyring is imported
+ using ``ceph-monstore-tool``. But the MDS keyrings and other keyrings are missing
+ in the recovered monitor store. You might need to re-add them manually.
+
+- **pg settings**: the ``full ratio`` and ``nearfull ratio`` settings configured using
+ ``ceph pg set_full_ratio`` and ``ceph pg set_nearfull_ratio`` will be lost.
+
+- **MDS Maps**: the MDS maps are lost.
+
+
+Everything Failed! Now What?
+=============================
+
+Reaching out for help
+----------------------
+
+You can find us on IRC at #ceph and #ceph-devel at OFTC (server irc.oftc.net)
+and on ``ceph-devel@vger.kernel.org`` and ``ceph-users@lists.ceph.com``. Make
+sure you have grabbed your logs and have them ready if someone asks: the faster
+the interaction and lower the latency in response, the better chances everyone's
+time is optimized.
+
+
+Preparing your logs
+---------------------
+
+Monitor logs are, by default, kept in ``/var/log/ceph/ceph-mon.FOO.log*``. We
+may want them. However, your logs may not have the necessary information. If
+you don't find your monitor logs at their default location, you can check
+where they should be by running::
+
+ ceph-conf --name mon.FOO --show-config-value log_file
+
+The amount of information in the logs are subject to the debug levels being
+enforced by your configuration files. If you have not enforced a specific
+debug level then Ceph is using the default levels and your logs may not
+contain important information to track down you issue.
+A first step in getting relevant information into your logs will be to raise
+debug levels. In this case we will be interested in the information from the
+monitor.
+Similarly to what happens on other components, different parts of the monitor
+will output their debug information on different subsystems.
+
+You will have to raise the debug levels of those subsystems more closely
+related to your issue. This may not be an easy task for someone unfamiliar
+with troubleshooting Ceph. For most situations, setting the following options
+on your monitors will be enough to pinpoint a potential source of the issue::
+
+ debug mon = 10
+ debug ms = 1
+
+If we find that these debug levels are not enough, there's a chance we may
+ask you to raise them or even define other debug subsystems to obtain infos
+from -- but at least we started off with some useful information, instead
+of a massively empty log without much to go on with.
+
+Do I need to restart a monitor to adjust debug levels?
+------------------------------------------------------
+
+No. You may do it in one of two ways:
+
+You have quorum
+
+ Either inject the debug option into the monitor you want to debug::
+
+ ceph tell mon.FOO injectargs --debug_mon 10/10
+
+ or into all monitors at once::
+
+ ceph tell mon.* injectargs --debug_mon 10/10
+
+No quourm
+
+ Use the monitor's admin socket and directly adjust the configuration
+ options::
+
+ ceph daemon mon.FOO config set debug_mon 10/10
+
+
+Going back to default values is as easy as rerunning the above commands
+using the debug level ``1/10`` instead. You can check your current
+values using the admin socket and the following commands::
+
+ ceph daemon mon.FOO config show
+
+or::
+
+ ceph daemon mon.FOO config get 'OPTION_NAME'
+
+
+Reproduced the problem with appropriate debug levels. Now what?
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Ideally you would send us only the relevant portions of your logs.
+We realise that figuring out the corresponding portion may not be the
+easiest of tasks. Therefore, we won't hold it to you if you provide the
+full log, but common sense should be employed. If your log has hundreds
+of thousands of lines, it may get tricky to go through the whole thing,
+specially if we are not aware at which point, whatever your issue is,
+happened. For instance, when reproducing, keep in mind to write down
+current time and date and to extract the relevant portions of your logs
+based on that.
+
+Finally, you should reach out to us on the mailing lists, on IRC or file
+a new issue on the `tracker`_.

+======================
+ Troubleshooting OSDs
+======================
+
+Before troubleshooting your OSDs, check your monitors and network first. 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. To display your filesystem's free space, execute
+``df``. ::
+
+ df -h
+
+Execute ``df --help`` for additional usage.
+
+
+I/O Statistics
+--------------
+
+Use `iostat`_ to identify I/O-related issues. ::
+
+ iostat -x
+
+
+Diagnostic Messages
+-------------------
+
+To retrieve diagnostic messages, use ``dmesg`` with ``less``, ``more``, ``grep``
+or ``tail``. 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. These are briefly described below.
+
+Events from the Messenger layer:
+
+- header_read: when the messenger first started reading the message off the wire
+- throttled: when the messenger tried to acquire memory throttle space to read
+ the message into memory
+- all_read: when the messenger finished reading the message off the wire
+- dispatched: when the messenger gave the message to the OSD
+- Initiated: <This is identical to header_read. The existence of both is a
+ historical oddity.
+
+Events from the OSD as it prepares operations
+
+- queued_for_pg: the op has been put into the queue for processing by its PG
+- reached_pg: the PG has started doing the op
+- waiting for \*: the op is waiting for some other work to complete before it
+ can proceed (a new OSDMap; for its object target to scrub; for the PG to
+ finish peering; all as specified in the message)
+- started: the op has been accepted as something the OSD should actually do
+ (reasons not to do it: failed security/permission checks; out-of-date local
+ state; etc) and is now actually being performed
+- waiting for subops from: the op has been sent to replica OSDs
+
+Events from the FileStore
+
+- commit_queued_for_journal_write: the op has been given to the FileStore
+- write_thread_in_journal_buffer: the op is in the journal's buffer and waiting
+ to be persisted (as the next disk write)
+- journaled_completion_queued: the op was journaled to disk and its callback
+ queued for invocation
+
+Events from the OSD after stuff has been given to local disk
+
+- op_commit: the op has been committed (ie, written to journal) by the
+ primary OSD
+- op_applied: The op has been write()'en to the backing FS (ie, applied in
+ memory but not flushed out to disk) on the primary
+- sub_op_applied: op_applied, but for a replica's "subop"
+- sub_op_committed: op_commited, but for a replica's subop (only for EC pools)
+- sub_op_commit_rec/sub_op_apply_rec from <X>: the primary marks this when it
+ hears about the above, but for a particular replica <X>
+- commit_sent: we sent a reply back to the client (or primary OSD, for sub ops)
+
+Many of these events are seemingly redundant, but cross important boundaries in
+the internal code (such as passing data across locks into new threads).
+
+Flapping OSDs
+=============
+
+We recommend using both a public (front-end) network and a cluster (back-end)
+network so that you can better meet the capacity requirements of object
+replication. 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.

+=====================
+ Troubleshooting PGs
+=====================
+
+Placement Groups Never Get Clean
+================================
+
+When you create a cluster and your cluster remains in ``active``,
+``active+remapped`` or ``active+degraded`` status and never achieve an
+``active+clean`` status, you likely have a problem with your configuration.
+
+You may need to review settings in the `Pool, PG and CRUSH Config Reference`_
+and make appropriate adjustments.
+
+As a general rule, you should run your cluster with more than one OSD and a
+pool size greater than 1 object replica.
+
+One Node Cluster
+----------------
+
+Ceph no longer provides documentation for operating on a single node, because
+you would never deploy a system designed for distributed computing on a single
+node. Additionally, mounting client kernel modules on a single node containing a
+Ceph daemon may cause a deadlock due to issues with the Linux kernel itself
+(unless you use VMs for the clients). You can experiment with Ceph in a 1-node
+configuration, in spite of the limitations as described herein.
+
+If you are trying to create a cluster on a single node, you must change the
+default of the ``osd crush chooseleaf type`` setting from ``1`` (meaning
+``host`` or ``node``) to ``0`` (meaning ``osd``) in your Ceph configuration
+file before you create your monitors and OSDs. This tells Ceph that an OSD
+can peer with another OSD on the same host. If you are trying to set up a
+1-node cluster and ``osd crush chooseleaf type`` is greater than ``0``,
+Ceph will try to peer the PGs of one OSD with the PGs of another OSD on
+another node, chassis, rack, row, or even datacenter depending on the setting.
+
+.. tip:: DO NOT mount kernel clients directly on the same node as your
+ Ceph Storage Cluster, because kernel conflicts can arise. However, you
+ can mount kernel clients within virtual machines (VMs) on a single node.
+
+If you are creating OSDs using a single disk, you must create directories
+for the data manually first. For example::
+
+ mkdir /var/local/osd0 /var/local/osd1
+ ceph-deploy osd prepare {localhost-name}:/var/local/osd0 {localhost-name}:/var/local/osd1
+ ceph-deploy osd activate {localhost-name}:/var/local/osd0 {localhost-name}:/var/local/osd1
+
+
+Fewer OSDs than Replicas
+------------------------
+
+If you have brought up two OSDs to an ``up`` and ``in`` state, but you still
+don't see ``active + clean`` placement groups, you may have an
+``osd pool default size`` set to greater than ``2``.
+
+There are a few ways to address this situation. If you want to operate your
+cluster in an ``active + degraded`` state with two replicas, you can set the
+``osd pool default min size`` to ``2`` so that you can write objects in
+an ``active + degraded`` state. You may also set the ``osd pool default size``
+setting to ``2`` so that you only have two stored replicas (the original and
+one replica), in which case the cluster should achieve an ``active + clean``
+state.
+
+.. note:: You can make the changes at runtime. If you make the changes in
+ your Ceph configuration file, you may need to restart your cluster.
+
+
+Pool Size = 1
+-------------
+
+If you have the ``osd pool default size`` set to ``1``, you will only have
+one copy of the object. OSDs rely on other OSDs to tell them which objects
+they should have. If a first OSD has a copy of an object and there is no
+second copy, then no second OSD can tell the first OSD that it should have
+that copy. For each placement group mapped to the first OSD (see
+``ceph pg dump``), you can force the first OSD to notice the placement groups
+it needs by running::
+
+ ceph osd force-create-pg <pgid>
+
+
+CRUSH Map Errors
+----------------
+
+Another candidate for placement groups remaining unclean involves errors
+in your CRUSH map.
+
+
+Stuck Placement Groups
+======================
+
+It is normal for placement groups to enter states like "degraded" or "peering"
+following a failure. Normally these states indicate the normal progression
+through the failure recovery process. However, if a placement group stays in one
+of these states for a long time this may be an indication of a larger problem.
+For this reason, the monitor will warn when placement groups get "stuck" in a
+non-optimal state. Specifically, we check for:
+
+* ``inactive`` - The placement group has not been ``active`` for too long
+ (i.e., it hasn't been able to service read/write requests).
+
+* ``unclean`` - The placement group has not been ``clean`` for too long
+ (i.e., it hasn't been able to completely recover from a previous failure).
+
+* ``stale`` - The placement group status has not been updated by a ``ceph-osd``,
+ indicating that all nodes storing this placement group may be ``down``.
+
+You can explicitly list stuck placement groups with one of::
+
+ ceph pg dump_stuck stale
+ ceph pg dump_stuck inactive
+ ceph pg dump_stuck unclean
+
+For stuck ``stale`` placement groups, it is normally a matter of getting the
+right ``ceph-osd`` daemons running again. For stuck ``inactive`` placement
+groups, it is usually a peering problem (see :ref:`failures-osd-peering`). For
+stuck ``unclean`` placement groups, there is usually something preventing
+recovery from completing, like unfound objects (see
+:ref:`failures-osd-unfound`);
+
+
+
+.. _failures-osd-peering:
+
+Placement Group Down - Peering Failure
+======================================
+
+In certain cases, the ``ceph-osd`` `Peering` process can run into
+problems, preventing a PG from becoming active and usable. For
+example, ``ceph health`` might report::
+
+ ceph health detail
+ HEALTH_ERR 7 pgs degraded; 12 pgs down; 12 pgs peering; 1 pgs recovering; 6 pgs stuck unclean; 114/3300 degraded (3.455%); 1/3 in osds are down
+ ...
+ pg 0.5 is down+peering
+ pg 1.4 is down+peering
+ ...
+ osd.1 is down since epoch 69, last address 192.168.106.220:6801/8651
+
+We can query the cluster to determine exactly why the PG is marked ``down`` with::
+
+ ceph pg 0.5 query
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+ { "state": "down+peering",
+ ...
+ "recovery_state": [
+ { "name": "Started\/Primary\/Peering\/GetInfo",
+ "enter_time": "2012-03-06 14:40:16.169679",
+ "requested_info_from": []},
+ { "name": "Started\/Primary\/Peering",
+ "enter_time": "2012-03-06 14:40:16.169659",
+ "probing_osds": [
+ 0,
+ 1],
+ "blocked": "peering is blocked due to down osds",
+ "down_osds_we_would_probe": [
+ 1],
+ "peering_blocked_by": [
+ { "osd": 1,
+ "current_lost_at": 0,
+ "comment": "starting or marking this osd lost may let us proceed"}]},
+ { "name": "Started",
+ "enter_time": "2012-03-06 14:40:16.169513"}
+ ]
+ }
+
+The ``recovery_state`` section tells us that peering is blocked due to
+down ``ceph-osd`` daemons, specifically ``osd.1``. In this case, we can start that ``ceph-osd``
+and things will recover.
+
+Alternatively, if there is a catastrophic failure of ``osd.1`` (e.g., disk
+failure), we can tell the cluster that it is ``lost`` and to cope as
+best it can.
+
+.. important:: This is dangerous in that the cluster cannot
+ guarantee that the other copies of the data are consistent
+ and up to date.
+
+To instruct Ceph to continue anyway::
+
+ ceph osd lost 1
+
+Recovery will proceed.
+
+
+.. _failures-osd-unfound:
+
+Unfound Objects
+===============
+
+Under certain combinations of failures Ceph may complain about
+``unfound`` objects::
+
+ ceph health detail
+ HEALTH_WARN 1 pgs degraded; 78/3778 unfound (2.065%)
+ pg 2.4 is active+degraded, 78 unfound
+
+This means that the storage cluster knows that some objects (or newer
+copies of existing objects) exist, but it hasn't found copies of them.
+One example of how this might come about for a PG whose data is on ceph-osds
+1 and 2:
+
+* 1 goes down
+* 2 handles some writes, alone
+* 1 comes up
+* 1 and 2 repeer, and the objects missing on 1 are queued for recovery.
+* Before the new objects are copied, 2 goes down.
+
+Now 1 knows that these object exist, but there is no live ``ceph-osd`` who
+has a copy. In this case, IO to those objects will block, and the
+cluster will hope that the failed node comes back soon; this is
+assumed to be preferable to returning an IO error to the user.
+
+First, you can identify which objects are unfound with::
+
+ ceph pg 2.4 list_missing [starting offset, in json]
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+ { "offset": { "oid": "",
+ "key": "",
+ "snapid": 0,
+ "hash": 0,
+ "max": 0},
+ "num_missing": 0,
+ "num_unfound": 0,
+ "objects": [
+ { "oid": "object 1",
+ "key": "",
+ "hash": 0,
+ "max": 0 },
+ ...
+ ],
+ "more": 0}
+
+If there are too many objects to list in a single result, the ``more``
+field will be true and you can query for more. (Eventually the
+command line tool will hide this from you, but not yet.)
+
+Second, you can identify which OSDs have been probed or might contain
+data::
+
+ ceph pg 2.4 query
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+ "recovery_state": [
+ { "name": "Started\/Primary\/Active",
+ "enter_time": "2012-03-06 15:15:46.713212",
+ "might_have_unfound": [
+ { "osd": 1,
+ "status": "osd is down"}]},
+
+In this case, for example, the cluster knows that ``osd.1`` might have
+data, but it is ``down``. The full range of possible states include:
+
+* already probed
+* querying
+* OSD is down
+* not queried (yet)
+
+Sometimes it simply takes some time for the cluster to query possible
+locations.
+
+It is possible that there are other locations where the object can
+exist that are not listed. For example, if a ceph-osd is stopped and
+taken out of the cluster, the cluster fully recovers, and due to some
+future set of failures ends up with an unfound object, it won't
+consider the long-departed ceph-osd as a potential location to
+consider. (This scenario, however, is unlikely.)
+
+If all possible locations have been queried and objects are still
+lost, you may have to give up on the lost objects. This, again, is
+possible given unusual combinations of failures that allow the cluster
+to learn about writes that were performed before the writes themselves
+are recovered. To mark the "unfound" objects as "lost"::
+
+ ceph pg 2.5 mark_unfound_lost revert|delete
+
+This the final argument specifies how the cluster should deal with
+lost objects.
+
+The "delete" option will forget about them entirely.
+
+The "revert" option (not available for erasure coded pools) will
+either roll back to a previous version of the object or (if it was a
+new object) forget about it entirely. Use this with caution, as it
+may confuse applications that expected the object to exist.
+
+
+Homeless Placement Groups
+=========================
+
+It is possible for all OSDs that had copies of a given placement groups to fail.
+If that's the case, that subset of the object store is unavailable, and the
+monitor will receive no status updates for those placement groups. To detect
+this situation, the monitor marks any placement group whose primary OSD has
+failed as ``stale``. For example::
+
+ ceph health
+ HEALTH_WARN 24 pgs stale; 3/300 in osds are down
+
+You can identify which placement groups are ``stale``, and what the last OSDs to
+store them were, with::
+
+ ceph health detail
+ HEALTH_WARN 24 pgs stale; 3/300 in osds are down
+ ...
+ pg 2.5 is stuck stale+active+remapped, last acting [2,0]
+ ...
+ osd.10 is down since epoch 23, last address 192.168.106.220:6800/11080
+ osd.11 is down since epoch 13, last address 192.168.106.220:6803/11539
+ osd.12 is down since epoch 24, last address 192.168.106.220:6806/11861
+
+If we want to get placement group 2.5 back online, for example, this tells us that
+it was last managed by ``osd.0`` and ``osd.2``. Restarting those ``ceph-osd``
+daemons will allow the cluster to recover that placement group (and, presumably,
+many others).
+
+
+Only a Few OSDs Receive Data
+============================
+
+If you have many nodes in your cluster and only a few of them receive data,
+`check`_ the number of placement groups in your pool. Since placement groups get
+mapped to OSDs, a small number of placement groups will not distribute across
+your cluster. Try creating a pool with a placement group count that is a
+multiple of the number of OSDs. See `Placement Groups`_ for details. The default
+placement group count for pools is not useful, but you can change it `here`_.
+
+
+Can't Write Data
+================
+
+If your cluster is up, but some OSDs are down and you cannot write data,
+check to ensure that you have the minimum number of OSDs running for the
+placement group. If you don't have the minimum number of OSDs running,
+Ceph will not allow you to write data because there is no guarantee
+that Ceph can replicate your data. See ``osd pool default min size``
+in the `Pool, PG and CRUSH Config Reference`_ for details.
+
+
+PGs Inconsistent
+================
+
+If you receive an ``active + clean + inconsistent`` state, this may happen
+due to an error during scrubbing. As always, we can identify the inconsistent
+placement group(s) with::
+
+ $ ceph health detail
+ HEALTH_ERR 1 pgs inconsistent; 2 scrub errors
+ pg 0.6 is active+clean+inconsistent, acting [0,1,2]
+ 2 scrub errors
+
+Or if you prefer inspecting the output in a programmatic way::
+
+ $ rados list-inconsistent-pg rbd
+ ["0.6"]
+
+There is only one consistent state, but in the worst case, we could have
+different inconsistencies in multiple perspectives found in more than one
+objects. If an object named ``foo`` in PG ``0.6`` is truncated, we will have::
+
+ $ rados list-inconsistent-obj 0.6 --format=json-pretty
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+ {
+ "epoch": 14,
+ "inconsistents": [
+ {
+ "object": {
+ "name": "foo",
+ "nspace": "",
+ "locator": "",
+ "snap": "head",
+ "version": 1
+ },
+ "errors": [
+ "data_digest_mismatch",
+ "size_mismatch"
+ ],
+ "union_shard_errors": [
+ "data_digest_mismatch_oi",
+ "size_mismatch_oi"
+ ],
+ "selected_object_info": "0:602f83fe:::foo:head(16'1 client.4110.0:1 dirty|data_digest|omap_digest s 968 uv 1 dd e978e67f od ffffffff alloc_hint [0 0 0])",
+ "shards": [
+ {
+ "osd": 0,
+ "errors": [],
+ "size": 968,
+ "omap_digest": "0xffffffff",
+ "data_digest": "0xe978e67f"
+ },
+ {
+ "osd": 1,
+ "errors": [],
+ "size": 968,
+ "omap_digest": "0xffffffff",
+ "data_digest": "0xe978e67f"
+ },
+ {
+ "osd": 2,
+ "errors": [
+ "data_digest_mismatch_oi",
+ "size_mismatch_oi"
+ ],
+ "size": 0,
+ "omap_digest": "0xffffffff",
+ "data_digest": "0xffffffff"
+ }
+ ]
+ }
+ ]
+ }
+
+In this case, we can learn from the output:
+
+* The only inconsistent object is named ``foo``, and it is its head that has
+ inconsistencies.
+* The inconsistencies fall into two categories:
+
+ * ``errors``: these errors indicate inconsistencies between shards without a
+ determination of which shard(s) are bad. Check for the ``errors`` in the
+ `shards` array, if available, to pinpoint the problem.
+
+ * ``data_digest_mismatch``: the digest of the replica read from OSD.2 is
+ different from the ones of OSD.0 and OSD.1
+ * ``size_mismatch``: the size of the replica read from OSD.2 is 0, while
+ the size reported by OSD.0 and OSD.1 is 968.
+ * ``union_shard_errors``: the union of all shard specific ``errors`` in
+ ``shards`` array. The ``errors`` are set for the given shard that has the
+ problem. They include errors like ``read_error``. The ``errors`` ending in
+ ``oi`` indicate a comparison with ``selected_object_info``. Look at the
+ ``shards`` array to determine which shard has which error(s).
+
+ * ``data_digest_mismatch_oi``: the digest stored in the object-info is not
+ ``0xffffffff``, which is calculated from the shard read from OSD.2
+ * ``size_mismatch_oi``: the size stored in the object-info is different
+ from the one read from OSD.2. The latter is 0.
+
+You can repair the inconsistent placement group by executing::
+
+ ceph pg repair {placement-group-ID}
+
+Which overwrites the `bad` copies with the `authoritative` ones. In most cases,
+Ceph is able to choose authoritative copies from all available replicas using
+some predefined criteria. But this does not always work. For example, the stored
+data digest could be missing, and the calculated digest will be ignored when
+choosing the authoritative copies. So, please use the above command with caution.
+
+If ``read_error`` is listed in the ``errors`` attribute of a shard, the
+inconsistency is likely due to disk errors. You might want to check your disk
+used by that OSD.
+
+If you receive ``active + clean + inconsistent`` states periodically due to
+clock skew, you may consider configuring your `NTP`_ daemons on your
+monitor hosts to act as peers. See `The Network Time Protocol`_ and Ceph
+`Clock Settings`_ for additional details.

+
+Erasure Coded PGs are not active+clean
+======================================
+
+When CRUSH fails to find enough OSDs to map to a PG, it will show as a
+``2147483647`` which is ITEM_NONE or ``no OSD found``. For instance::
+
+ [2,1,6,0,5,8,2147483647,7,4]
+
+Not enough OSDs
+---------------
+
+If the Ceph cluster only has 8 OSDs and the erasure coded pool needs
+9, that is what it will show. You can either create another erasure
+coded pool that requires less OSDs::
+
+ ceph osd erasure-code-profile set myprofile k=5 m=3
+ ceph osd pool create erasurepool 16 16 erasure myprofile
+
+or add a new OSDs and the PG will automatically use them.
+
+CRUSH constraints cannot be satisfied
+-------------------------------------
+
+If the cluster has enough OSDs, it is possible that the CRUSH ruleset
+imposes constraints that cannot be satisfied. If there are 10 OSDs on
+two hosts and the CRUSH rulesets require that no two OSDs from the
+same host are used in the same PG, the mapping may fail because only
+two OSD will be found. You can check the constraint by displaying the
+ruleset::
+
+ $ ceph osd crush rule ls
+ [
+ "replicated_ruleset",
+ "erasurepool"]
+ $ ceph osd crush rule dump erasurepool
+ { "rule_id": 1,
+ "rule_name": "erasurepool",
+ "ruleset": 1,
+ "type": 3,
+ "min_size": 3,
+ "max_size": 20,
+ "steps": [
+ { "op": "take",
+ "item": -1,
+ "item_name": "default"},
+ { "op": "chooseleaf_indep",
+ "num": 0,
+ "type": "host"},
+ { "op": "emit"}]}
+
+
+You can resolve the problem by creating a new pool in which PGs are allowed
+to have OSDs residing on the same host with::
+
+ ceph osd erasure-code-profile set myprofile crush-failure-domain=osd
+ ceph osd pool create erasurepool 16 16 erasure myprofile
+
+CRUSH gives up too soon
+-----------------------
+
+If the Ceph cluster has just enough OSDs to map the PG (for instance a
+cluster with a total of 9 OSDs and an erasure coded pool that requires
+9 OSDs per PG), it is possible that CRUSH gives up before finding a
+mapping. It can be resolved by:
+
+* lowering the erasure coded pool requirements to use less OSDs per PG
+ (that requires the creation of another pool as erasure code profiles
+ cannot be dynamically modified).
+
+* adding more OSDs to the cluster (that does not require the erasure
+ coded pool to be modified, it will become clean automatically)
+
+* use a hand made CRUSH ruleset that tries more times to find a good
+ mapping. It can be done by setting ``set_choose_tries`` to a value
+ greater than the default.
+
+You should first verify the problem with ``crushtool`` after
+extracting the crushmap from the cluster so your experiments do not
+modify the Ceph cluster and only work on a local files::
+
+ $ ceph osd crush rule dump erasurepool
+ { "rule_name": "erasurepool",
+ "ruleset": 1,
+ "type": 3,
+ "min_size": 3,
+ "max_size": 20,
+ "steps": [
+ { "op": "take",
+ "item": -1,
+ "item_name": "default"},
+ { "op": "chooseleaf_indep",
+ "num": 0,
+ "type": "host"},
+ { "op": "emit"}]}
+ $ ceph osd getcrushmap > crush.map
+ got crush map from osdmap epoch 13
+ $ crushtool -i crush.map --test --show-bad-mappings \
+ --rule 1 \
+ --num-rep 9 \
+ --min-x 1 --max-x $((1024 * 1024))
+ bad mapping rule 8 x 43 num_rep 9 result [3,2,7,1,2147483647,8,5,6,0]
+ bad mapping rule 8 x 79 num_rep 9 result [6,0,2,1,4,7,2147483647,5,8]
+ bad mapping rule 8 x 173 num_rep 9 result [0,4,6,8,2,1,3,7,2147483647]
+
+Where ``--num-rep`` is the number of OSDs the erasure code crush
+ruleset needs, ``--rule`` is the value of the ``ruleset`` field
+displayed by ``ceph osd crush rule dump``. The test will try mapping
+one million values (i.e. the range defined by ``[--min-x,--max-x]``)
+and must display at least one bad mapping. If it outputs nothing it
+means all mappings are successfull and you can stop right there: the
+problem is elsewhere.
+
+The crush ruleset can be edited by decompiling the crush map::
+
+ $ crushtool --decompile crush.map > crush.txt
+
+and adding the following line to the ruleset::
+
+ step set_choose_tries 100
+
+The relevant part of of the ``crush.txt`` file should look something
+like::
+
+ rule erasurepool {
+ ruleset 1
+ type erasure
+ min_size 3
+ max_size 20
+ step set_chooseleaf_tries 5
+ step set_choose_tries 100
+ step take default
+ step chooseleaf indep 0 type host
+ step emit
+ }
+
+It can then be compiled and tested again::
+
+ $ crushtool --compile crush.txt -o better-crush.map
+
+When all mappings succeed, an histogram of the number of tries that
+were necessary to find all of them can be displayed with the
+``--show-choose-tries`` option of ``crushtool``::
+
+ $ crushtool -i better-crush.map --test --show-bad-mappings \
+ --show-choose-tries \
+ --rule 1 \
+ --num-rep 9 \
+ --min-x 1 --max-x $((1024 * 1024))

+It took 11 tries to map 42 PGs, 12 tries to map 44 PGs etc. The highest number of tries is the minimum value of ``set_choose_tries`` that prevents bad mappings (i.e. 103 in the above output because it did not take more than 103 tries for any PG to be mapped).
