Control Commands¶
Monitor Commands¶
Monitor commands are issued using the ceph utility:
ceph [-m monhost] {command}
The command is usually (though not always) of the form:
ceph {subsystem} {command}
System Commands¶
Execute the following to display the current status of the cluster.
ceph -s
ceph status
Execute the following to display a running summary of the status of the cluster, and major events.
ceph -w
Execute the following to show the monitor quorum, including which monitors are participating and which one is the leader.
ceph quorum_status
Execute the following to query the status of a single monitor, including whether or not it is in the quorum.
ceph [-m monhost] mon_status
Authentication Subsystem¶
To add a keyring for an OSD, execute the following:
ceph auth add {osd} {--in-file|-i} {path-to-osd-keyring}
To list the cluster’s keys and their capabilities, execute the following:
ceph auth ls
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
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 override weight (reweight) 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 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 compensate.
ceph osd reweight {osd-num} {weight}
Balance OSD fullness by reducing the override weight of OSDs which are
overly utilized. Note that these override aka reweight values
default to 1.00000 and are relative only to each other; they not absolute.
It is crucial to distinguish them from CRUSH weights, which reflect the
absolute capacity of a bucket in TiB. By default this command adjusts
override weight on OSDs which have + or - 20% of the average utilization,
but if you include a threshold that percentage will be used instead.
ceph osd reweight-by-utilization [threshold [max_change [max_osds]]] [--no-increasing]
To limit the step by which any OSD’s reweight will be changed, specify
max_change which defaults to 0.05. To limit the number of OSDs that will
be adjusted, specify max_osds as well; the default is 4. Increasing these
parameters can speed leveling of OSD utilization, at the potential cost of
greater impact on client operations due to more data moving at once.
To determine which and how many PGs and OSDs will be affected by a given invocation you can test before executing.
ceph osd test-reweight-by-utilization [threshold [max_change max_osds]] [--no-increasing]
Adding --no-increasing to either command prevents increasing any
override weights that are currently < 1.00000. This can be useful when
you are balancing in a hurry to remedy full or nearful OSDs or
when some OSDs are being evacuated or slowly brought into service.
Deployments utilizing Nautilus (or later revisions of Luminous and Mimic)
that have no pre-Luminous cients may instead wish to instead enable the
balancer` module for ceph-mgr.
Add/remove an IP 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_rule: 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.
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]
To clear an OSD’s caches between benchmark runs, use the ‘cache drop’ command
ceph tell osd.N cache drop
To get the cache statistics of an OSD, use the ‘cache status’ command
ceph tell osd.N cache status
MDS Subsystem¶
Change configuration parameters on a running mds.
ceph tell mds.{mds-id} config set {setting} {value}
Example:
ceph tell mds.0 config set debug_ms 1
Enables debug messages.
ceph mds stat
Displays the status of all metadata servers.
ceph mds fail 0
Marks the active MDS as failed, triggering failover to a standby if present.
Todo
ceph mds subcommands missing docs: set, dump, getmap, stop, setmap
Mon Subsystem¶
Show monitor stats:
ceph mon stat
e2: 3 mons at {a=127.0.0.1:40000/0,b=127.0.0.1:40001/0,c=127.0.0.1:40002/0}, election epoch 6, quorum 0,1,2 a,b,c
The quorum list at the end lists monitor nodes that are part of the current quorum.
This is also available more directly:
