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

        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.

          @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],

          7f82d50d-ac7e-42a1-80ff-9e728baa6dcf-image.png

          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

          Is it still looking for a real NFS server?

          edit: its logging port 2049 not 6789?

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

                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.

                  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

                      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.

                        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.

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

                            @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.

                              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.

                                Are you sure that's supposed to work?
                                Try using only one IP-address and see if the command works as intended.

                                  while for CEPHSR we can use #mount.ceph addr1,addr2,addr3,addr4:remotepath localpath

                                  Yep, as far as I know that is how you configure the failover, and as I said it works (with one or more IPs) from a host not in a pool.

                                  p.s. yes I also tried with one IP to just be sure.

                                    @jmccoy555 Can you try the latest patch?

                                    Before applying it restore to normal state
                                    # yum reinstall sm

                                    # cd /
# wget "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/rushikeshjadhav/ea8a6e15c3b5e7f6e61fe0cb873173d2/raw/dabe5c915b30a0efc932cab169ebe94c17d8c1ca/ceph-8.1.patch"
# patch -p0 < ceph-8.1.patch

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

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

                                    To handle the NFS port conflict, specifying port is mandatory e.g. device-config:serverport=6789

                                    Ceph Example:
                                    # xe sr-create type=nfs device-config:server=10.10.10.10,10.10.10.26 device-config:serverpath=/ device-config:serverport=6789 device-config:options=name=admin,secretfile=/etc/ceph/admin.secret name-label=Ceph

                                    NFS Example:
                                    # xe sr-create type=nfs device-config:server=10.10.10.5 device-config:serverpath=/root/nfs name-label=NFS

                                      Will try from my standalone host with a reboot later to see if the NFS reconnect issue has gone.

                                        @jmccoy555 I have rpcbind service running. Can you check on your ceph node?

                                          @r1 yep, that's it, rpcbind is needed. I have a very minimal Debian 10 VM hosting my Ceph (dockers) as is now the way with Octopus.

                                          Also had to swap the host-uuid= with shared=true for it to connect to all hosts within the pool (might be useful for the notes).

                                          Will test and also check that everything is good after a reboot and report back.

                                            Just to report back..... So far so good. I've moved over a few VDIs and not had any problems.

                                            I've rebooted hosts and Ceph nodes and all is good.

                                            NFS is also all good now.

                                            Hope this gets merges soon so I don't have to worry about updates 😄

                                            On a side note, I've also set up two pools, one of SSDs and one of HDDs using File Layouts to assign different directories (VM SRs) to different pools.
