CEPH FS Storage Driver

[Rainer]

Hello and thanks for the new patch. I understand that this is only a kind of hack or better a proof of concept. I do not want to use this for a productive system but only wanted to give it a try with nautilus and see what performance I can expect if this hack hopefully develops to a supported integration of Ceph.

I hoped that the patch might work for XCP-ng 8.0 as well but it seems it does not that easily. So I could also install a xenserver 7.6 and use the original patch and test how it works for me. I do not want you to invest too much work in the 8.0 adoption. So if you think testing the patch 8.0 does not really help you in any way, then please do not hesitate and tell me. Else if you are as well interested to test if it works with 8.0 here is what I found out:

The new patch does not work completely, there is a "patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line" -warning. On a fresh installed system:

# cd /
# patch --verbose -p0  < /cephfs-8.patch
mm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...

I can do a ceph.mount just like described before but when I instead try to create a new Ceph-FS-SR named "Ceph" in xencenter 8.0.0 I still get the error that SM has thrown a generic python exception.

The SMlog error log indicates that creating a NFS repos is tried with the given parameters and not a CephFS one:

I attached my /opt/xensource/sm/nfs.py file as well.

Thanks a lot

@r1 said in CEPH FS Storage Driver:

patch -d/ -p0 < cephfs-8.patch

Please try # patch -d/ -p0 < cephfs-8.patch

[r1]

I see that there is a call to check_server_tcp which is expected to return True but not doing so in my patch. I'll modify it.

[r1]

The same patch is updated. Kindly download again and try with # patch -d/ -p1 < cephfs-8.patch.

Thanks for the new patch. Applying the patch does not report any errors or warnings. When I try to create a "NFS" SR I still get the generic python error message from xencenter however the error message in /var/log/SMlog has changed:

Looks like variable declaration issue. I had it working for XCP-NG 7.6... Give me some time to fix this and make it working for 8.0

[jmccoy555]

@r1 Is this still in development; would like to get it working with 8.1?

Manually mounting the CephFS works, but the patch fails, probably not surprisingly; or is a GlusterFS approach a better option?

With Ceph Octopus and the cephadm approach setting Ceph up is really easy, so maybe this will become a more popular feature....?

[r1]

@jmccoy555 I did not continue this. Will definitely rejuvenate it once 8.1 is released. Hopefully next week.

[r1]

@jmccoy555

Notice: This is experimental and will be replaced by any updates to sm package

Ok, so here is updated patch for XCP-NG 8.1

# cd /
# wget "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/rushikeshjadhav/ea8a6e15c3b5e7f6e61fe0cb873173d2/raw/85acc83ec95cba5db7674572b79c403106b48a48/ceph-8.1.patch"
# patch -p0 < ceph-8.1.patch

Apart from patch you would need to install ceph-common to obtain mount.ceph

# yum install centos-release-ceph-nautilus --enablerepo=extras
# yum install ceph-common

There is no need of ceph.ko as now CephFS is part of kernel in 8.1.

You can refer NFS SR (Ceph) creation screenshot in earlier post or use following
# xe sr-create type=nfs device-config:server=10.10.10.10 device-config:serverpath=/ device-config:options=name=admin,secretfile=/etc/ceph/admin.secret name-label=CephFS

To remove this and restore to normal state
# yum reinstall sm

Note: Keep secret in /etc/ceph/admin.secret with permission 600

Edit: Hope to get this into a proper CephSR someday. Until then it must be considered for Proof of Concept only.
Changed ceph release repo to nautilus.

[jmccoy555]

@r1 Hi, just given this a try, but with no luck....

Manual mount works and I can see files in /mnt/cephfs

mount -t ceph 10.10.1.141:/xcp /mnt/cephfs -o name=admin,secret=AQDZVn9eKD4hBBAAvf5GGWcRFQAZ1eqVPDynOQ==

Trying as per the instructions.....

xe sr-create type=nfs device-config:server=10.10.1.141 device-config:serverpath=/xcp device-config:options=name=admin,secretfile=/etc/ceph/admin.secret name-label=CephFS
Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_73
Error parameters: , NFS mount error [opterr=mount failed with return code 2],

And without the secret file just to check that wasn't the issue....

xe sr-create type=nfs device-config:server=10.10.1.141 device-config:serverpath=/xcp device-config:options=name=admin,secret=AQDZVn9eKD4hBBAAvf5GGWcRFQAZ1eqVPDynOQ== name-label=CephFS
Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_108

Is it still looking for a real NFS server?

edit: its logging port 2049 not 6789?

[r1]

@jmccoy555 please refer the note about the secret to be put in a file.

[jmccoy555]

@r1 tired that first, second code box and in XCP-ng center (I've moved the error box this time)

[r1]

Do you have mount.ceph command?

Can you share md5sum of NFSSR.py and nfs.py? They are in /opt/xensource/sm

Also SMlog error stack.

Edit: don't press Scan button as it's not implemented. Use CLI or "Finish" button.

[jmccoy555]

odd, no mount.cepth and I've just rerun yum install ceph-common and it's got dependency issues this time, so I guess that's not a great start!

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Not sure if its the best idea, but this did the trick

yum install ceph-common  --enablerepo=base

[r1]

Oh ok.. I know why... mount.ceph came in nautilus release. I have edited the post to install nautilus.

Unlike RBD, CephFS gives browsable datastore + thin disks and is super easy to scale up/down in capacity with immediate reflection. I'd spend some time later to implement "Scan" and have a proper SR driver.

Thanks for testing and feel free to raise if you come across further issues.

[jmccoy555]

Hi @r1 I've only had a quick play so far but it appears to work quite well.

I've shutdown a Ceph MDS node and it fails over to one of the other nodes and keeps working away.

I am running my Ceph cluster in VMs (at the moment one per host with the second SATA controller on the motherboard passed-through) so have shut down all nodes, rebooted my XCP-ng server, booted up the Ceph cluster and was able to reconnect the Ceph SR, so that's all good.

Unfortunately at the moment the patch breaks reconnecting the NFS SR, I think because the scan function is broken??, but reverting with yum reinstall sm fixes that, so not a big issue but is going to make things a bit more difficult until that is sorted after a host reboot.

[r1]

@jmccoy555 said in CEPH FS Storage Driver:

Unfortunately at the moment the patch breaks reconnecting the NFS SR,

It did not intend to.. I'll recheck on this.

[jmccoy555]

@r1 ok, I'm only saying this as it didn't reconnect (the NFS server was up prior to boot) and if you try to add a new one the Scan button returns an error.

[jmccoy555]

Hi @r1 Just ttied this on my pool of two servers, but no luck. Should it work? I've verified the same command on a host not in a pool and it works fine.
