Chapter 11. Post-deployment operations to manage the Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster After you deploy your Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) environment with containerized Red Hat Ceph Storage, there are some operations you can use to manage the Ceph Storage cluster. 11.1. Disabling configuration overrides After the Ceph Storage cluster is initially deployed, the cluster is configured to allow the setup of services such as RGW during the overcloud deployment. Once overcloud deployment is complete, director should not be used to make changes to the cluster configuration unless you are scaling up the cluster. Cluster configuration changes should be performed using Ceph commands. Procedure Log in to the undercloud node as the stack user. Open the file deployed_ceph.yaml or the file you use in your environment to define the Ceph Storage cluster configuration. Locate the ApplyCephConfigOverridesOnUpdate parameter. Change the ApplyCephConfigOverridesOnUpdate parameter value to false . Save the file. Additional resources For more information on the ApplyCephConfigOverridesOnUpdate and CephConfigOverrides parameters, see Overcloud parameters . 11.2. Accessing the overcloud Director generates a script to configure and help authenticate interactions with your overcloud from the undercloud. Director saves this file, overcloudrc , in the home directory of the stack user. Procedure Run the following command to source the file: This loads the necessary environment variables to interact with your overcloud from the undercloud CLI. To return to interacting with the undercloud, run the following command: 11.3. Monitoring Red Hat Ceph Storage nodes After you create the overcloud, check the status of the Ceph cluster to confirm that it works correctly. Procedure Log in to a Controller node as the tripleo-admin user: Check the health of the Ceph cluster: If the Ceph cluster has no issues, the command reports back HEALTH_OK . This means the Ceph cluster is safe to use. Log in to an overcloud node that runs the Ceph monitor service and check the status of all OSDs in the Ceph cluster: Check the status of the Ceph Monitor quorum: This shows the monitors participating in the quorum and which one is the leader. Verify that all Ceph OSDs are running: For more information on monitoring Ceph clusters, see Monitoring a Ceph Storage cluster in the Red Hat Ceph Storage Administration Guide . 11.4. Mapping a Block Storage (cinder) type to your new Ceph pool After you complete the configuration steps, make the performance tiers feature available to RHOSP tenants by using Block Storage (cinder) to create a type that is mapped to the fastpool tier that you created. Procedure Log in to the undercloud node as the stack user. Source the overcloudrc file: Check the Block Storage volume existing types: Create the new Block Storage volume fast_tier: Check that the Block Storage type is created: When the fast_tier Block Storage type is available, set the fastpool as the Block Storage volume back end for the new tier that you created: Use the new tier to create new volumes: Note The Red Hat Ceph Storage documentation provides additional information and procedures for the ongoing maintenance and operation of the Ceph Storage cluster. See Product Documentation for Red Hat Ceph Storage .
