Hi Stéphane,
'ceph -s' requires the mon quorum to be reached, else the Ceph cluster
hangs. cephadm is not using the Ceph cluster internal communication but
is building a management cluster on top of it so it can manage the
cluster even if the quorum is lost but it cannot provide any information
requires the quorum to be reached.

Hi Malte,
Thank for your reply. Here are a some info :
ceph -s hangs and times out monhunting after 300s
But I can run cephadm shell. Is there a similar command under cephadm
shell?
ceph health detail : same as above.
I would like to repair it, instead of wipe & restart, as it is (from
my point of view) a good way to learn (and there are a few data I'd
like to recover).
What is the problem with ubuntu 24? I did not see warnings regarding
this specific version in
https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/cephadm/install/#cephadm-install-distros

Hello Stéphane,
I think, you're mixing and mismatching up a lot!
You always have to show us the output of:
ceph -s
And more! Logs and stuff, e. g.:
ceph health detail
It is clear you missed something here and there.
It is repairable but since it is a test cluster, just delete it and
start again.
And follow the documentation for cephadm. And do not use Ubuntu 24.04.
Best,
Malte

Hello,
Today, things have degraded a bit more. ceph-03 mon has failed and
will not restart. It shows the same kind of checksum error in
rocksdb compact operation during startup. As a consequence, I lost
quorum, and ceph commands hang.
Would it be wise to disable rocksbd compact, to restart and find
quorum back? If yes, what is the exactt syntax of the setting in
ceph.conf, I have seen one for OSD, but not sure if it would apply:
[osd]
osd_compact_on_start = true
If I can restart, I will try to out the OSDs, and recreate them.
Last time I saw the OSD seemed fine in the dashboard. Since I hove
no dashboard, is there a command I can use to check their status?

Michel,
cephadm shell starts on all 3 nodes without error, and each host as
the same ceph public key entry in the .ssh/autorized_key file of
the root user.
ceph-01 also has ceph.pub in /etc/ceph with the same key (this is
the node I started the install from)
ceph-2 has no/etc/ceph folder
ceph-3 has a /etc/ceph folder, but no ceph.pub file there

Hi Stéphane,
Sorry I was busy and did not look at your previous answers... It
is a bit difficult for me to understand how you ended up in this
situation but for me it is strange that ceph-02 complains about a
missing keyring and the corruped rocks.db on a freshly created
cluster is also a bit strange for me. I don't think it makes sense
to destroy and recreate the OSD, I am running several clusters
with hundreds of OSDs and I never saw a mis-initialized one. The
problem is hiding something else I'm afraid. Because of some
misconfiguration, may be one OSD is in a bad state and may need to
be reinitialized but first we should get the 3 mons running
properly and `cephadm shell` working properly on the 3 hosts. And
the rocks.db compaction issue for me is related to your mon, not
to an OSD.
Have you checked that SSH configuration for cephadm is working
well from any host to any other one in your cluster (with 3 hosts,
it should be really straighforward to check). The ceph-02 problem
may be the sign of SSH misconfiguration as cephadm will use SSH
connection to push the keyring, if I am right.

Hi,
Should I just wipe the OSD and let ceph rebuild it (as suggested
there :
https://ceph-users.ceph.narkive.com/LO6ebu9r/how-to-recover-
from-corrupted-rocksdb) ?
Which would the suggested way be :
cephadm rm-daemon osd.ceph-01
then
cephadm deploy ?

How can I fix this checksum issue?

Stéphane,
On ceph-02, I am not sure why the ceph command is not installed
as on the other nodes, if you installed it the same way. One
way to get access to the ceph command on this server should be
to execute:
cephadm shell
This will start a container where you have the ceph environment
installed and configured for your cluster.
The situation is not as bad as I thought reading your first
message. You have the mon quorum so at least ceph command
should be usable. The first thing to do is probably to log on
your ceph-01 node and try to understand why the mon daemon is
crashing. You may want to run on this node:
cephadm ls ---> Look for the exact daemon name corresponding
to the mon
cephadm logs --daemon $daemon_name
Apart from this, it is strange that ceph-03 report a RADOS
error with 'ceph log last...', this probably hides another
issue. Could you tell what the same command says on ceph-02
(when run in cephadm shell)?

Stephane,
If you are using cephadm, the OS (distrib and version) you
use should not matter. When using cephadm with several
servers (the general case!), it is important to setup
properly the SSH key used by cephadm for the communication
between nodes (cephadm is sort of a SSH-based management
cluster) and to check that you can log in from one node to
the other using SSH. Can you confirm that it is the case?
Also cephadm has a specific log file. I don't use much the
dashboard, not sure how you display it (it may be part of the
logs displayed by the dashboard) but you can access it with
the command:
ceph log last debug cephadm

Hi,
Yes, I did use cephadm, to bootstrap the 1st node in the
cluster, installed cephadm on the other nodes, and used the
dashboard to add the nodes to the cluster.

Hi Stephane,
How did you configure your cluster? Have you been using
cephadm? If not, I really advise you to recreate your
cluster with cephadm, that includes a script to bootstrap
the cluster. In particular if you don't have a detail
knowledge about Ceph architecture and management, it will
ensure that your cluster is properly configured and let you
progressively learn about Ceph details...
Best regards.

Hello,
I am very new to ceph and have started a small cluster to
get started with ceph.
But so far my experience, is not very impressive, probably
by lack of knowledge and good practices.
I started with Ubuntu 24, installed 3 VM for a ceph
cluster, and some how could not get it running. Adding
nodes would fail adding OSDs with some weird error(I found
it on the web but could not solve the problem).
I then made a new cluster with 3 ubuntu 22 VM. Install ok,
start ok, I created 1 pool to test storing stuff there and
work my way across crash testing. However the cluster dies
during the weekly vm snapshot. It may not a good idea to
run vm backups on a ceph host, but I find this a little
surprising. (crash testing started earlier than expected)
Bottom line is that, after the backup the cluster is in
warning state with missing mons, or logrotate and
sometimes crashed machines. systemctl restart service or
Rebooting node usually fixes it.
I am now stuck in a situation I cannot fix :
- 1 Machine is ceph rbd client cannot auth : auth
method 'x' error -13. I have tried quite a few things, and
none unlocked the situation. I am currently trying to
reboot the machine, but the busy/stuck rbd device seems to
block it. I am not looking forward to hard reset it.
- Node with the mgr service will not restart mon, or
logrotate. I did reboot it again today, but I guess this
is not how a node is expected to behave.
So my questions :
- How can I unlock my stuck ceph client, when this
kind of error occurs?
- Is this expected behavior that client looses access
to cluster, which kind of kills the machine?
- Where should I look in the ceph nodes logs to figure
what is going wrong, and how to fix it, so that is run in
a stable manner?
Regards,
