In order to continue to receive updates to newer Ceph versions, and for general improvements and features in the charms to deploy Ceph, users of the ceph charm should migrate existing services to using ceph-mon and ceph-osd.
Note
This example migration assumes that the ceph charm is deployed to machines 0, 1 and 2 with the ceph-osd charm deployed to other machines within the model.
First deploy the ceph-mon charm; if the existing ceph charm is deployed to machines 0, 1 and 2, you can place the ceph-mon units in LXD containers on these machines:
juju deploy --to lxd:0 ceph-mon
juju config ceph-mon no-bootstrap=True
juju add-unit --to lxd:1 ceph-mon
juju add-unit --to lxd:2 ceph-mon
These units will install ceph, but will not bootstrap into a running monitor cluster.
Next, we’ll use the existing ceph application to bootstrap the new ceph-mon units:
juju add-relation ceph ceph-mon
Once this process has completed, you should have a Ceph MON cluster of 6 units; this can be verified on any of the ceph or ceph-mon units:
sudo ceph -s
In order to retain any running Ceph OSD processes on the ceph units, the ceph-osd charm must be deployed to the existing machines running the ceph units:
juju config ceph-osd osd-reformat=False
juju add-unit --to 0 ceph-osd
juju add-unit --to 1 ceph-osd
juju add-unit --to 2 ceph-osd
The charm installation and configuration will not impact any existing running Ceph OSD’s.
The new ceph-mon units now need to be related to the ceph-osd application:
juju add-relation ceph-mon ceph-osd
and depending on your deployment you’ll also need to add relations for other applications, for example:
juju add-relation ceph-mon cinder-ceph
juju add-relation ceph-mon glance
juju add-relation ceph-mon nova-compute
juju add-relation ceph-mon ceph-radosgw
juju add-relation ceph-mon gnocchi
once hook execution completes across all units, each client should be configured with 6 MON addresses.
Its now safe to remove the ceph application from your deployment:
juju remove-application ceph
As each unit of the ceph application is destroyed, its stop hook will remove the MON process from the Ceph cluster monmap and disable Ceph MON and MGR processes running on the machine; any Ceph OSD processes remain untouched and are now owned by the ceph-osd units deployed alongside ceph.
