Chapter 3. Monitoring a Ceph storage cluster As a storage administrator, you can monitor the overall health of the Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster, along with monitoring the health of the individual components of Ceph. Once you have a running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster, you might begin monitoring the storage cluster to ensure that the Ceph Monitor and Ceph OSD daemons are running, at a high-level. Ceph storage cluster clients connect to a Ceph Monitor and receive the latest version of the storage cluster map before they can read and write data to the Ceph pools within the storage cluster. So the monitor cluster must have agreement on the state of the cluster before Ceph clients can read and write data. Ceph OSDs must peer the placement groups on the primary OSD with the copies of the placement groups on secondary OSDs. If faults arise, peering will reflect something other than the active + clean state. 3.1. Prerequisites A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. 3.2. High-level monitoring of a Ceph storage cluster As a storage administrator, you can monitor the health of the Ceph daemons to ensure that they are up and running. High level monitoring also involves checking the storage cluster capacity to ensure that the storage cluster does not exceed its full ratio . The Red Hat Ceph Storage Dashboard is the most common way to conduct high-level monitoring. However, you can also use the command-line interface, the Ceph admin socket or the Ceph API to monitor the storage cluster. 3.2.1. Prerequisites A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. 3.2.2. Using the Ceph command interface interactively You can interactively interface with the Ceph storage cluster by using the ceph command-line utility. Prerequisites A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Root-level access to the node. Procedure To run the ceph utility in interactive mode. Syntax Replace MONITOR_NAME with the name of the Ceph Monitor container, found by running the podman ps command. Example This example opens an interactive terminal session on mon.host01 , where you can start the Ceph interactive shell. 3.2.3. Checking the storage cluster health After you start the Ceph storage cluster, and before you start reading or writing data, check the storage cluster's health first. Prerequisites A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Root-level access to the node. Procedure Log into the Cephadm shell: Example You can check on the health of the Ceph storage cluster with the following command: Example You can check the status of the Ceph storage cluster by running ceph status command: Example The output provides the following information: Cluster ID Cluster health status The monitor map epoch and the status of the monitor quorum. The OSD map epoch and the status of OSDs. The status of Ceph Managers. The status of Object Gateways. The placement group map version. The number of placement groups and pools. The notional amount of data stored and the number of objects stored. The total amount of data stored. Upon starting the Ceph cluster, you will likely encounter a health warning such as HEALTH_WARN XXX num placement groups stale . Wait a few moments and check it again. When the storage cluster is ready, ceph health should return a message such as HEALTH_OK . At that point, it is okay to begin using the cluster. 3.2.4. Watching storage cluster events You can watch events that are happening with the Ceph storage cluster using the command-line interface. Prerequisites A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Root-level access to the node. Procedure Log into the Cephadm shell: Example To watch the cluster's ongoing events, run the following command: Example 3.2.5. How Ceph calculates data usage The used value reflects the actual amount of raw storage used. The xxx GB / xxx GB value means the amount available, the lesser of the two numbers, 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. 3.2.6. Understanding the storage clusters usage stats To check a cluster's data usage and data distribution among pools, use the df option. It is similar to the Linux df command. The SIZE / AVAIL / RAW USED in the ceph df and ceph status command output are different if some OSDs are marked OUT of the cluster compared to when all OSDs are IN . The SIZE / AVAIL / RAW USED is calculated from sum of SIZE (osd disk size), RAW USE (total used space on disk), and AVAIL of all OSDs which are in IN state. You can see the total of SIZE / AVAIL / RAW USED for all OSDs in ceph osd df tree command output. Example The ceph df detail command gives more details about other pool statistics such as quota objects, quota bytes, used compression, and under compression. The RAW STORAGE section of the output provides an overview of the amount of storage the storage cluster manages for data. CLASS: The class of OSD device. SIZE: The amount of storage capacity managed by the storage cluster. In the above example, if the SIZE is 90 GiB, it is the total size without the replication factor, which is three by default. The total available capacity with the replication factor is 90 GiB/3 = 30 GiB. Based on the full ratio, which is 0.85% by default, the maximum available space is 30 GiB * 0.85 = 25.5 GiB AVAIL: The amount of free space available in the storage cluster. In the above example, if the SIZE is 90 GiB and the USED space is 6 GiB, then the AVAIL space is 84 GiB. The total available space with the replication factor, which is three by default, is 84 GiB/3 = 28 GiB USED: The amount of raw storage consumed by user data. In the above example, 100 MiB is the total space available after considering the replication factor. The actual available size is 33 MiB. RAW USED: The amount of raw storage consumed by user data, internal overhead, or reserved capacity. % RAW USED: The percentage of RAW USED . Use this number in conjunction with the full ratio and near full ratio to ensure that you are not reaching the storage cluster's capacity. 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 1 MB of data, the notional usage will be 1 MB, but the actual usage may be 3 MB or more depending on the number of replicas for example, size = 3 , clones and snapshots. POOL: The name of the pool. ID: The pool ID. STORED: The actual amount of data stored by the user in the pool. This value changes based on the raw usage data based on (k+M)/K values, number of object copies, and the number of objects degraded at the time of pool stats calculation. OBJECTS: The notional number of objects stored per pool. It is STORED size * replication factor. 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. It is the amount of data that can be used before the first OSD becomes full. It considers the projected distribution of data across disks from the CRUSH map and uses the first OSD to fill up as the target. In the above example, MAX AVAIL is 153.85 MB without considering the replication factor, which is three by default. See the Red Hat Knowledgebase article titled ceph df MAX AVAIL is incorrect for simple replicated pool to calculate the value of MAX AVAIL . QUOTA OBJECTS: The number of quota objects. QUOTA BYTES: The number of bytes in the quota objects. USED COMPR: The amount of space allocated for compressed data including his includes compressed data, allocation, replication and erasure coding overhead. UNDER COMPR: The amount of data passed through compression and beneficial enough to be stored in a compressed form. Note The numbers in the POOLS section are notional. They are not inclusive of the number of replicas, snapshots 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 . Additional Resources See How Ceph calculates data usage for details. See Understanding the OSD usage stats for details. 3.2.7. Understanding the OSD usage stats Use the ceph osd df command to view OSD utilization stats. Example ID: The name of the OSD. CLASS: The type of devices the OSD uses. WEIGHT: The weight of the OSD in the CRUSH map. REWEIGHT: The default reweight value. SIZE: The overall storage capacity of the OSD. USE: The OSD capacity. DATA: The amount of OSD capacity that is used by user data. OMAP: An estimate value of the bluefs storage that is being used to store object map ( omap ) data (key value pairs stored in rocksdb ). META: The bluefs space allocated, or the value set in the bluestore_bluefs_min parameter, whichever is larger, for internal metadata which is calculated as the total space allocated in bluefs minus the estimated omap data size. AVAIL: The amount of free space available on the OSD. %USE: The notional percentage of storage used by the OSD VAR: The variation above or below average utilization. PGS: The number of placement groups in the OSD. MIN/MAX VAR: The minimum and maximum variation across all OSDs. Additional Resources See How Ceph calculates data usage for details. See Understanding the OSD usage stats for details. See CRUSH Weights in Red Hat Ceph Storage Storage Strategies Guide for details. 3.2.8. Checking the storage cluster status You can check the status of the Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster from the command-line interface. The status sub command or the -s argument will display the current status of the storage cluster. Prerequisites A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Root-level access to the node. Procedure Log into the Cephadm shell: Example To check a storage cluster's status, execute the following: Example Or Example In interactive mode, type ceph and press Enter : Example 3.2.9. Checking the Ceph Monitor status If the storage cluster has multiple Ceph Monitors, which is a requirement for a production Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster, then you can check the Ceph Monitor quorum status after starting the storage cluster, and before doing any reading or writing of data. A quorum must be present when multiple Ceph Monitors are running. Check the Ceph Monitor status periodically to ensure that they are running. If there is a problem with the Ceph Monitor, that prevents an agreement on the state of the storage cluster, the fault can prevent Ceph clients from reading and writing data. Prerequisites A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Root-level access to the node. Procedure Log into the Cephadm shell: Example To display the Ceph Monitor map, execute the following: Example or Example To check the quorum status for the storage cluster, execute the following: Ceph returns the quorum status. Example 3.2.10. Using the Ceph administration socket Use the administration socket to interact with a given daemon directly by using a UNIX socket file. For example, the socket enables you to: List the Ceph configuration at runtime Set configuration values at runtime directly without relying on Monitors. This is useful when Monitors are down . Dump historic operations Dump the operation priority queue state Dump operations without rebooting Dump performance counters In addition, using the socket is helpful when troubleshooting problems related to Ceph Monitors or OSDs. Regardless, if the daemon is not running, a following error is returned when attempting to use the administration socket: Important The administration socket is only available while a daemon is running. When you shut down the daemon properly, the administration socket is removed. However, if the daemon terminates unexpectedly, the administration socket might persist. Prerequisites A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Root-level access to the node. Procedure Log into the Cephadm shell: Example To use the socket: Syntax Replace: MONITOR_ID of the daemon COMMAND with the command to run. Use help to list the available commands for a given daemon. To view the status of a Ceph Monitor: Example Example Alternatively, specify the Ceph daemon by using its socket file: Syntax To view the status of an Ceph OSD named osd.2 : Example To list all socket files for the Ceph processes: Example Additional Resources See the Red Hat Ceph Storage Troubleshooting Guide for more information. 3.2.11. Understanding the Ceph OSD status A Ceph OSD's status is either in the storage cluster, or out of the storage cluster. It is either up and running, or it is down and not running. If a Ceph OSD is up , it can be either in the storage cluster, where data can be read and written, or it is out of the storage cluster. If it was in the storage cluster and recently moved out of the storage cluster, Ceph starts migrating placement groups to other Ceph OSDs. If a Ceph OSD is out of the storage cluster, CRUSH will not assign placement groups to the Ceph OSD. If a Ceph OSD is down , it should also be out . Note If a Ceph OSD is down and in , there is a problem, and the storage cluster will not be in a healthy state. If you execute a command such as ceph health , ceph -s or ceph -w , you might notice that the storage cluster does not always echo back HEALTH OK . Do not panic. With respect to Ceph OSDs, you can expect that the storage cluster will NOT echo HEALTH OK in a few expected circumstances: You have not started the storage cluster yet, and it is not responding. You have just started or restarted the storage cluster, and it is not ready yet, because the placement groups are getting created and the Ceph OSDs are in the process of peering. You just added or removed a Ceph OSD. You just modified the storage cluster map. An important aspect of monitoring Ceph OSDs is to ensure that when the storage cluster is up and running that all Ceph OSDs that are in the storage cluster are up and running, too. To see if all OSDs are running, execute: Example or Example The result should tell you the map epoch, eNNNN , the total number of OSDs, x , how many, y , are up , and how many, z , are in : If the number of Ceph OSDs that are in the storage cluster are more than the number of Ceph OSDs that are up . Execute the following command to identify the ceph-osd daemons that are not running: Example Tip The ability to search through a well-designed CRUSH hierarchy can help you troubleshoot the storage cluster by identifying the physical locations faster. If a Ceph OSD is down , connect to the node and start it. You can use Red Hat Storage Console to restart the Ceph OSD daemon, or you can use the command line. Syntax Example Additional Resources See the Red Hat Ceph Storage Dashboard Guide for more details. 3.3. Low-level monitoring of a Ceph storage cluster As a storage administrator, you can monitor the health of a Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster from a low-level perspective. Low-level monitoring typically involves ensuring that Ceph OSDs are peering properly. When peering faults occur, placement groups operate in a degraded state. This degraded state can be the result of many different things, such as hardware failure, a hung or crashed Ceph daemon, network latency, or a complete site outage. 3.3.1. Prerequisites A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. 3.3.2. Monitoring Placement Group Sets When CRUSH assigns placement groups to Ceph OSDs, it looks at the number of replicas for the pool and assigns the placement group to Ceph OSDs such that each replica of the placement group gets assigned to a different Ceph 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 the CRUSH map, so you will rarely see placement groups assigned to nearest neighbor Ceph OSDs in a large cluster. We refer to the set of Ceph 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, do not panic. Common examples include: You added or removed an OSD. Then, CRUSH reassigned the placement group to other Ceph OSDs, thereby changing the composition of the acting set and spawning the migration of data with a "backfill" process. A Ceph OSD was down , was restarted and is now recovering . A Ceph OSD in the acting set is down or unable to service requests, and another Ceph OSD has temporarily assumed its duties. Ceph processes a client request using the Up Set , which is the set of Ceph OSDs that actually handle the requests. In most cases, the up set and the Acting Set are virtually identical. When they are not, it can indicate that Ceph is migrating data, an Ceph OSD is recovering, or that there is a problem, that is, Ceph usually echoes a HEALTH WARN state with a "stuck stale" message in such scenarios. Prerequisites A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Root-level access to the node. Procedure Log into the Cephadm shell: Example To retrieve a list of placement groups: Example View which Ceph OSDs are in the Acting Set or in the Up Set for a given placement group: Syntax Example Note If the Up Set and Acting Set do not match, this may be an indicator that the storage cluster rebalancing itself or of a potential problem with the storage cluster. 3.3.3. Ceph OSD 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 that is, 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 three replicas of the PG. Figure 3.1. Peering 3.3.4. 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 the CRUSH map and the 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: Example The result should tell you the placement group map version, vNNNNNN , the total number of placement groups, x , and how many placement groups, y , are in a particular state such as active+clean : Note It is common for Ceph to report multiple states for placement groups. Snapshot Trimming PG States When snapshots exist, two additional PG states will be reported. snaptrim : The PGs are currently being trimmed snaptrim_wait : The PGs are waiting to be trimmed Example Output: 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 the near full ratio or full ratio . Your data isn't getting distributed across the cluster due to an error in the CRUSH configuration. Placement Group IDs Placement group IDs consist of the pool number, and not the 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 . The default pool names data , metadata and rbd correspond to pool numbers 0 , 1 and 2 respectively. A fully qualified placement group ID has the following form: Syntax Example output: To retrieve a list of placement groups: Example To format the output in JSON format and save it to a file: Syntax Example Query a particular placement group: Syntax Example Additional Resources See the chapter Object Storage Daemon (OSD) configuration options in the OSD Object storage daemon configuratopn options section in Red Hat Ceph Storage Configuration Guide for more details on the snapshot trimming settings. 3.3.5. Placement Group creating state 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. 3.3.6. Placement group peering state 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. Authoritative 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. 3.3.7. Placement group active state 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. 3.3.8. Placement Group clean state 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. 3.3.9. Placement Group degraded state 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 Ceph OSDs must peer again when the Ceph 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. For example, if there are nine OSDs in a three way replica pool. If OSD number 9 goes down, the PGs assigned to OSD 9 goes into a degraded state. If OSD 9 does not recover, it goes out of the storage cluster and the storage cluster rebalances. In that scenario, the PGs are degraded and then recover to an active state. 3.3.10. Placement Group recovering state 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 Ceph 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 storage 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 threads setting limits the number of threads for the recovery process, by default one thread. The osd recovery thread timeout sets a thread timeout, because multiple Ceph OSDs can fail, restart and re-peer at staggered rates. The osd recovery max active setting limits the number of recovery requests a Ceph OSD works on simultaneously to prevent the Ceph OSD from failing to serve . The osd recovery max chunk setting limits the size of the recovered data chunks to prevent network congestion. 3.3.11. Back fill state When a new Ceph OSD joins the storage cluster, CRUSH will reassign placement groups from OSDs in the cluster to the newly added Ceph OSD. Forcing the new OSD to accept the reassigned placement groups immediately can put excessive load on the new Ceph OSD. Backfilling 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 might see one of several states: backfill_wait indicates that a backfill operation is pending, but isn't underway yet backfill indicates that a backfill operation is underway 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 can be considered incomplete . Ceph provides a number of settings to manage the load spike associated with reassigning placement groups to a Ceph OSD, especially a new Ceph OSD. By default, osd_max_backfills sets the maximum number of concurrent backfills to or from a Ceph OSD to 10. The osd backfill full ratio enables a Ceph OSD to refuse a backfill request if the OSD is approaching its full ratio, by default 85%. If an OSD refuses a backfill request, the osd backfill retry interval enables an OSD to retry the request, by default after 10 seconds. OSDs can also set osd backfill scan min and osd backfill scan max to manage scan intervals, by default 64 and 512. For some workloads, it is beneficial to avoid regular recovery entirely and use backfill instead. Since backfilling occurs in the background, this allows I/O to proceed on the objects in the OSD. You can force a backfill rather than a recovery by setting the osd_min_pg_log_entries option to 1 , and setting the osd_max_pg_log_entries option to 2 . Contact your Red Hat Support account team for details on when this situation is appropriate for your workload. 3.3.12. Placement Group remapped state 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. 3.3.13. Placement Group stale state 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 aren't reporting statistics in a timely manner. For example, a temporary network fault. By default, OSD daemons report their placement group, up thru, boot and failure statistics every half second, that is, 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 the storage cluster, it is common to see the stale state until the peering process completes. After the storage 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. 3.3.14. Placement Group misplaced state There are some temporary backfilling scenarios where a PG gets mapped temporarily to an OSD. When that temporary situation should no longer be the case, the PGs might still reside in the temporary location and not in the proper location. In which case, they are said to be misplaced . That's because the correct number of extra copies actually exist, but one or more copies is in the wrong place. For example, there are 3 OSDs: 0,1,2 and all PGs map to some permutation of those three. If you add another OSD (OSD 3), some PGs will now map to OSD 3 instead of one of the others. However, until OSD 3 is backfilled, the PG will have a temporary mapping allowing it to continue to serve I/O from the old mapping. During that time, the PG is misplaced , because it has a temporary mapping, but not degraded , since there are 3 copies. Example [0,1,2] is a temporary mapping, so the up set is not equal to the acting set and the PG is misplaced but not degraded since [0,1,2] is still three copies. Example OSD 3 is now backfilled and the temporary mapping is removed, not degraded and not misplaced. 3.3.15. Placement Group incomplete state A PG goes into a incomplete state when there is incomplete content and peering fails, that is, when there are no complete OSDs which are current enough to perform recovery. Lets say OSD 1, 2, and 3 are the acting OSD set and it switches to OSD 1, 4, and 3, then osd.1 will request a temporary acting set of OSD 1, 2, and 3 while backfilling 4. During this time, if OSD 1, 2, and 3 all go down, osd.4 will be the only one left which might not have fully backfilled all the data. At this time, the PG will go incomplete indicating that there are no complete OSDs which are current enough to perform recovery. Alternately, if osd.4 is not involved and the acting set is simply OSD 1, 2, and 3 when OSD 1, 2, and 3 go down, the PG would likely go stale indicating that the mons have not heard anything on that PG since the acting set changed. The reason being there are no OSDs left to notify the new OSDs. 3.3.16. Identifying stuck Placement Groups A placement group is not necessarily problematic just because it is not in a active+clean state. Generally, Ceph's ability to self repair might 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, and can be configured with the mon osd report timeout setting. Prerequisites A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Root-level access to the node. Procedure To identify stuck placement groups, execute the following: Syntax Example 3.3.17. Finding an object's location 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. Prerequisites A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. Root-level access to the node. Procedure To find the object location, all you need is the object name and the pool name: Syntax Example
