Configuring the Ceph client (optional)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ceph is a massively scalable, open source, distributed storage system.
These links provide more details around how to use Ceph with OpenStack:
* `Ceph Block Devices and OpenStack`_
* `Ceph - The De Facto Storage Backend for OpenStack`_ *(Hong Kong Summit
talk)*
* `OpenStack Config Reference - Ceph RADOS Block Device (RBD)`_
* `OpenStack-Ansible and Ceph Working Example`_
.. _Ceph Block Devices and OpenStack: http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rbd/rbd-openstack/
.. _Ceph - The De Facto Storage Backend for OpenStack: https://www.openstack.org/summit/openstack-summit-hong-kong-2013/session-videos/presentation/ceph-the-de-facto-storage-backend-for-openstack
.. _OpenStack Config Reference - Ceph RADOS Block Device (RBD): http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/config-reference/content/ceph-rados.html
.. _OpenStack-Ansible and Ceph Working Example: https://www.openstackfaq.com/openstack-ansible-ceph/
Configuring Ceph storage servers is outside the scope of this documentation.
Authentication
--------------
The ``cephx`` authentication method is strongly recommended in the `Ceph
config reference`_ and OpenStack-Ansible enables ``cephx`` by default for
the Ceph client. Deployers may choose to override this setting by using the
``cephx`` Ansible variable:
.. code-block:: yaml
cephx: False
Ceph **must** be deployed on a trusted network if ``cephx`` is disabled.
.. _Ceph config reference: http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rados/configuration/auth-config-ref/
Configuration file overrides
----------------------------
OpenStack-Ansible provides the ``ceph_conf_file`` variable which allows
deployers to specify configuration file options to override the default
Ceph configuration.
.. code-block:: console
ceph_conf_file: |
[global]
fsid = 4037aa5f-abde-4378-9470-f73dbd6ceaba
mon_initial_members = mon1.example.local,mon2.example.local,mon3.example.local
mon_host = 172.29.244.151,172.29.244.152,172.29.244.153
auth_cluster_required = cephx
auth_service_required = cephx
auth_client_required = cephx
The following minimal example configuration sets nova and glance
to use ceph pools: ``ephemeral-vms`` and ``images`` respectively.
The example uses cephx authentication, and requires existing ``glance`` and
``cinder`` accounts for ``images`` and ``ephemeral-vms`` pools.
.. code-block:: console
glance_default_store: rbd
nova_libvirt_images_rbd_pool: ephemeral-vms
Monitors
--------
The `Ceph Monitor`_ maintains a master copy of the cluster map.
OpenStack-Ansible provides the ``ceph_mons`` variable and expects a list of
IP addresses for the Ceph Monitor servers in the deployment:
.. code-block:: yaml
ceph_mons:
- 172.29.244.151
- 172.29.244.152
- 172.29.244.153
