Chapter 2. Dynamically provisioned OpenShift Data Foundation deployed on VMware 2.1. Replacing operational or failed storage devices on VMware infrastructure Create a new Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) on a new volume, and remove the old object storage device (OSD) when one or more virtual machine disks (VMDK) needs to be replaced in OpenShift Data Foundation which is deployed dynamically on VMware infrastructure. Prerequisites Ensure that the data is resilient. In the OpenShift Web Console, click Storage Data Foundation . Click the Storage Systems tab, and then click ocs-storagecluster-storagesystem . In the Status card of Block and File dashboard, under the Overview tab, verify that Data Resiliency has a green tick mark. Procedure Identify the OSD that needs to be replaced and the OpenShift Container Platform node that has the OSD scheduled on it. Example output: In this example, rook-ceph-osd-0-6d77d6c7c6-m8xj6 needs to be replaced and compute-2 is the OpenShift Container platform node on which the OSD is scheduled. Note The status of the pod is Running , if the OSD you want to replace is healthy. Scale down the OSD deployment for the OSD to be replaced. Each time you want to replace the OSD, update the osd_id_to_remove parameter with the OSD ID, and repeat this step. where, osd_id_to_remove is the integer in the pod name immediately after the rook-ceph-osd prefix. In this example, the deployment name is rook-ceph-osd-0 . Example output: Verify that the rook-ceph-osd pod is terminated. Example output: Important If the rook-ceph-osd pod is in terminating state, use the force option to delete the pod. Example output: Remove the old OSD from the cluster so that you can add a new OSD. Delete any old ocs-osd-removal jobs. Example output: Note If the above job does not reach Completed state after 10 minutes, then the job must be deleted and rerun with FORCE_OSD_REMOVAL=true . Navigate to the openshift-storage project. Remove the old OSD from the cluster. The FORCE_OSD_REMOVAL value must be changed to "true" in clusters that only have three OSDs, or clusters with insufficient space to restore all three replicas of the data after the OSD is removed. Warning This step results in OSD being completely removed from the cluster. Ensure that the correct value of osd_id_to_remove is provided. Verify that the OSD was removed successfully by checking the status of the ocs-osd-removal-job pod. A status of Completed confirms that the OSD removal job succeeded. Ensure that the OSD removal is completed. Example output: Important If the ocs-osd-removal-job pod fails and the pod is not in the expected Completed state, check the pod logs for further debugging. For example: If encryption was enabled at the time of install, remove dm-crypt managed device-mapper mapping from the OSD devices that are removed from the respective OpenShift Data Foundation nodes. Get the PVC name(s) of the replaced OSD(s) from the logs of ocs-osd-removal-job pod. Example output: For each of the previously identified nodes, do the following: Create a debug pod and chroot to the host on the storage node. <node name> Is the name of the node. Find a relevant device name based on the PVC names identified in the step. <pvc name> Is the name of the PVC. Example output: Remove the mapped device. Important If the above command gets stuck due to insufficient privileges, run the following commands: Press CTRL+Z to exit the above command. Find the PID of the process which was stuck. Terminate the process using the kill command. <PID> Is the process ID. Verify that the device name is removed. Delete the ocs-osd-removal job. Example output: Note When using an external key management system (KMS) with data encryption, the old OSD encryption key can be removed from the Vault server as it is now an orphan key. Verfication steps Verify that there is a new OSD running. Example output: Verify that there is a new PVC created which is in Bound state. Example output: Optional: If cluster-wide encryption is enabled on the cluster, verify that the new OSD devices are encrypted. Identify the nodes where the new OSD pods are running. <OSD-pod-name> Is the name of the OSD pod. For example: Example output: For each of the nodes identified in the step, do the following: Create a debug pod and open a chroot environment for the selected host(s). <node name> Is the name of the node. Check for the crypt keyword beside the ocs-deviceset name(s). Log in to OpenShift Web Console and view the storage dashboard.
