=============
External Ceph
=============
Sometimes it is necessary to connect OpenStack services to an existing Ceph
cluster instead of deploying it with Kolla. This can be achieved with only a
few configuration steps in Kolla.
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
* An existing installation of Ceph
* Existing Ceph storage pools
* Existing credentials in Ceph for OpenStack services to connect to Ceph
(Glance, Cinder, Nova, Gnocchi, Manila)
Enabling External Ceph
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using external Ceph with Kolla means not to deploy Ceph via Kolla. Therefore,
disable Ceph deployment in ``/etc/kolla/globals.yml``
.. code-block:: yaml
enable_ceph: "no"
.. end
There are flags indicating individual services to use ceph or not which default
to the value of ``enable_ceph``. Those flags now need to be activated in order
to activate external Ceph integration. This can be done individually per
service in ``/etc/kolla/globals.yml``:
.. code-block:: yaml
glance_backend_ceph: "yes"
cinder_backend_ceph: "yes"
nova_backend_ceph: "yes"
gnocchi_backend_storage: "ceph"
enable_manila_backend_cephfs_native: "yes"
.. end
The combination of ``enable_ceph: "no"`` and ``<service>_backend_ceph: "yes"``
triggers the activation of external ceph mechanism in Kolla.
Edit the Inventory File
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When using external Ceph, there may be no nodes defined in the storage group.
This will cause Cinder and related services relying on this group to fail.
In this case, operator should add some nodes to the storage group, all the
nodes where ``cinder-volume`` and ``cinder-backup`` will run:
.. code-block:: ini
[storage]
compute01
.. end
Configuring External Ceph
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Glance
------
Configuring Glance for Ceph includes three steps:
#. Configure RBD back end in ``glance-api.conf``
#. Create Ceph configuration file in ``/etc/ceph/ceph.conf``
#. Create Ceph keyring file in ``/etc/ceph/ceph.client.<username>.keyring``
Step 1 is done by using Kolla's INI merge mechanism: Create a file in
``/etc/kolla/config/glance/glance-api.conf`` with the following contents:
.. code-block:: ini
[glance_store]
stores = rbd
default_store = rbd
rbd_store_pool = images
rbd_store_user = glance
rbd_store_ceph_conf = /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
.. end
Now put ceph.conf and the keyring file (name depends on the username created in
Ceph) into the same directory, for example:
.. path /etc/kolla/config/glance/ceph.conf
.. code-block:: ini
[global]
fsid = 1d89fec3-325a-4963-a950-c4afedd37fe3
mon_initial_members = ceph-0
mon_host = 192.168.0.56
auth_cluster_required = cephx
auth_service_required = cephx
auth_client_required = cephx
.. end
.. code-block:: console
$ cat /etc/kolla/config/glance/ceph.client.glance.keyring
[client.glance]
key = AQAg5YRXS0qxLRAAXe6a4R1a15AoRx7ft80DhA==
.. end
Kolla will pick up all files named ``ceph.*`` in this directory and copy them
to the ``/etc/ceph/`` directory of the container.
Cinder
------
Configuring external Ceph for Cinder works very similar to
Glance.
Modify ``/etc/kolla/config/cinder/cinder-volume.conf`` file according to
the following configuration:
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
enabled_backends=rbd-1
[rbd-1]
rbd_ceph_conf=/etc/ceph/ceph.conf
rbd_user=cinder
backend_host=rbd:volumes
rbd_pool=volumes
volume_backend_name=rbd-1
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.rbd.RBDDriver
rbd_secret_uuid = {{ cinder_rbd_secret_uuid }}
.. end
.. note::
``cinder_rbd_secret_uuid`` can be found in ``/etc/kolla/passwords.yml`` file.
Modify ``/etc/kolla/config/cinder/cinder-backup.conf`` file according to
the following configuration:
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
backup_ceph_conf=/etc/ceph/ceph.conf
backup_ceph_user=cinder-backup
backup_ceph_chunk_size = 134217728
backup_ceph_pool=backups
backup_driver = cinder.backup.drivers.ceph
backup_ceph_stripe_unit = 0
backup_ceph_stripe_count = 0
restore_discard_excess_bytes = true
.. end
Next, copy the ``ceph.conf`` file into ``/etc/kolla/config/cinder/``:
.. code-block:: ini
[global]
fsid = 1d89fec3-325a-4963-a950-c4afedd37fe3
mon_initial_members = ceph-0
mon_host = 192.168.0.56
auth_cluster_required = cephx
auth_service_required = cephx
auth_client_required = cephx
.. end
Separate configuration options can be configured for
cinder-volume and cinder-backup by adding ceph.conf files to
``/etc/kolla/config/cinder/cinder-volume`` and
``/etc/kolla/config/cinder/cinder-backup`` respectively. They
will be merged with ``/etc/kolla/config/cinder/ceph.conf``.
Ceph keyrings are deployed per service and placed into
``cinder-volume`` and ``cinder-backup`` directories, put the keyring files
to these directories, for example:
.. note::
``cinder-backup`` requires two keyrings for accessing volumes
and backup pool.
.. code-block:: console
$ cat /etc/kolla/config/cinder/cinder-backup/ceph.client.cinder.keyring
[client.cinder]
key = AQAg5YRXpChaGRAAlTSCleesthCRmCYrfQVX1w==
.. end
.. code-block:: console
$ cat /etc/kolla/config/cinder/cinder-backup/ceph.client.cinder-backup.keyring
[client.cinder-backup]
key = AQC9wNBYrD8MOBAAwUlCdPKxWZlhkrWIDE1J/w==
.. end
.. code-block:: console
$ cat /etc/kolla/config/cinder/cinder-volume/ceph.client.cinder.keyring
[client.cinder]
key = AQAg5YRXpChaGRAAlTSCleesthCRmCYrfQVX1w==
.. end
It is important that the files are named ``ceph.client*``.
Nova
----
Put ceph.conf, nova client keyring file and cinder client keyring file into
``/etc/kolla/config/nova``:
.. code-block:: console
$ ls /etc/kolla/config/nova
ceph.client.cinder.keyring ceph.client.nova.keyring ceph.conf
.. end
Configure nova-compute to use Ceph as the ephemeral back end by creating
``/etc/kolla/config/nova/nova-compute.conf`` and adding the following
configurations:
.. code-block:: ini
[libvirt]
images_rbd_pool=vms
images_type=rbd
images_rbd_ceph_conf=/etc/ceph/ceph.conf
rbd_user=nova
.. end
.. note::
``rbd_user`` might vary depending on your environment.
Gnocchi
-------
Modify ``/etc/kolla/config/gnocchi/gnocchi.conf`` file according to
the following configuration:
.. code-block:: ini
[storage]
driver = ceph
ceph_username = gnocchi
ceph_keyring = /etc/ceph/ceph.client.gnocchi.keyring
ceph_conffile = /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
.. end
Put ceph.conf and gnocchi client keyring file in
``/etc/kolla/config/gnocchi``:
.. code-block:: console
$ ls /etc/kolla/config/gnocchi
ceph.client.gnocchi.keyring ceph.conf gnocchi.conf
.. end
Manila
------
Configuring Manila for Ceph includes four steps:
#. Configure CephFS backend, setting ``enable_manila_backend_cephfs_native``
#. Create Ceph configuration file in ``/etc/ceph/ceph.conf``
#. Create Ceph keyring file in ``/etc/ceph/ceph.client.<username>.keyring``
#. Setup Manila in the usual way
Step 1 is done by using setting ``enable_manila_backend_cephfs_native=true``
Now put ceph.conf and the keyring file (name depends on the username created
in Ceph) into the same directory, for example:
.. path /etc/kolla/config/manila/ceph.conf
.. code-block:: ini
[global]
fsid = 1d89fec3-325a-4963-a950-c4afedd37fe3
mon_host = 192.168.0.56
auth_cluster_required = cephx
auth_service_required = cephx
auth_client_required = cephx
.. end
.. code-block:: console
$ cat /etc/kolla/config/manila/ceph.client.manila.keyring
[client.manila]
key = AQAg5YRXS0qxLRAAXe6a4R1a15AoRx7ft80DhA==
.. end
