requirements

• ceph cluster (kraken release)
• elasticsearch

The rgw syncer is only used/triggered in multisite configurations - so we need to setup a second zone for the metasearch.

environment / settings

export rgwhost="192.168.122.80"
export elastichost="192.168.122.71"
export realm="demo"

First - s3cmd config
Setting signature_v2 = true is not enough! You have to set --signature-v2 as a parameter.

Second - 'Prefix' tag
You have specify a Prefix tag - and yes with a captial P!

without prefix tag

        <ID>ExampleRule</ID>

Fetch zonegroup configuration (json struct)

# radosgw-admin zonegroup get > /tmp/zonegroup.json

change the tier_type to elasticsearch

Import the configuration

# radosgw-admin zonegroup set --infile /tmp/zonegroup.json

Fetch zone configuration (json struct)

# radosgw-admin zone get > /tmp/zone.json

Add the following parameter endpoint & {url} for the section tier_config

    "tier_config": [
        {
            "key": "endpoint …

JOURNAL_UUID

To fix the partition uuid

sgdisk --info=##partnr## -t ##partnr##:##part-uuid## /dev/##disk##

eg.
sgdisk --info=1 -t 1:4fbd7e29-9d25-41b8-afd0-062c0ceff05d /dev/sda1

ceph journal size (doc)

not for bluestore

osd journal size = {2 * (expected throughput * filestore max sync interval)}

The default for filestore max sync interval is 5 therefore for a 10Gbit network the "perfect" size would be

osd journal size = { 2 * ( 1280 * 5 ) } = 12.5 GB

The optimum …

Environment
2x ceph cluster (aio) running centos 7.2 /w ceph jewel. Added a 2nd crush rule to both clusters:

rule rep_osd {
    ruleset 1
    type replicated
    min_size 1
    max_size 10
    step take default
    step choose firstn 0 type osd
    step emit
}

Sometimes my ceph-(test!)deployments inside a VM failed.

The Problem is that the kernel/cpu can not provide enough entropy (random numbers) for the ceph-create-keys command - so it stuck/hang. It is not a ceph problem! This can also happen with ssl commands.

But first things first - we need …
