This is the first part of our 3-part series on how to integrate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openstack.org\/software\/start\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OpenStack<\/a> with Ceph cluster. In cloud computing, OpenStack and Ceph stand as two prominent pillars, each offering distinct yet complementary capabilities. While OpenStack provides a comprehensive cloud computing platform, Ceph delivers distributed and scalable storage services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While integrating OpenStack with Ceph storage, you need to ensure that you have a good network bandwidth connecting OpenStack and Ceph storage. As much as network requirements is affected by several factors, such as but not limited to the size of the cluster, the workload, and the desired performance, you need to ensure the connection doesn&#8217;t affect the performance or lead to data inconsistencies. Consider using a dedicated network for Ceph traffic as this will help isolate Ceph traffic from other traffic on your network and ensure optimal performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kifarunix.com\/part-2-integrate-openstack-with-ceph-storage-cluster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Part 2: Integrate OpenStack with Ceph Storage Cluster<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kifarunix.com\/part-3-integrate-openstack-with-ceph-storage-cluster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Part 3: Integrate OpenStack with Ceph Storage Cluster<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>Table of Contents<\/h2><nav><ul><li><a href=\"#integrating-open-stack-with-ceph-storage-cluster\">Integrating OpenStack with Ceph Storage Cluster<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#install-and-setup-ceph-storage-cluster\">Install and Setup Ceph Storage Cluster<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#create-ceph-storage-pools\">Create Ceph Storage Pools<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#ensure-cluster-is-in-good-health\">Ensure Cluster is in Good Health<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#create-ceph-storage-pools-1\">Create Ceph Storage Pools<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#initialize-open-stack-ceph-osd-pool\">Initialize OpenStack Ceph OSD Pool<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#enable-applications-for-open-stack-osd-pools\">Enable Applications for OpenStack OSD Pools<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"integrating-open-stack-with-ceph-storage-cluster\">Integrating OpenStack with Ceph Storage Cluster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: We are integrating fresh installation of OpenStack with Ceph storage cluster.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Three parts of OpenStack integrate with Ceph storage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>OpenStack Glance<\/strong>: This is a core components of the OpenStack that is responsible for discovering, registering, and retrieving virtual machine (VM) images.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>OpenStack Cinder<\/strong>: Cinder is the OpenStack Block Storage service for providing volumes (block devices) to Nova virtual machines, Ironic bare metal hosts, containers&#8230;OpenStack uses volumes to boot VMs, or to attach volumes to running VMs. Cinder volumes offer persistent storage that can be attached to and detached from OpenStack instances.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Guest Disks<\/strong>: Guest disks are guest operating system disks.

In our previous guides, we have setup and deployed Ceph on various Linux distros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kifarunix.com\/?s=deploy+ceph\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to deploy Ceph Storage Cluster on Linux<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"create-ceph-storage-pools\">Create Ceph Storage Pools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To be able to configure Ceph cluster for OpenStack images\/volumes storage, you need to create storage pools. A Ceph pool is a logical partition that is used to store objects in a Ceph cluster. It serves as the basic unit for data placement and management. Each pool is associated with a specific application or use case, and administrators can configure parameters for each pool to meet the requirements of that particular workload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, we will create three pools for following OpenStack services:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Glance:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Images (glance-api)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cinder:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>volumes (cinder-volume)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>volumes backup (cinder-backup).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ensure-cluster-is-in-good-health\">Ensure Cluster is in Good Health<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can proceed to create the image pools, ensure the cluster is in good health,&nbsp;<code>active&nbsp;+&nbsp;clean<\/code>&nbsp;state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo ceph -s<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Sample output;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"scroll-box\"><code>   cluster:\n    id:     1e266088-9480-11ee-a7e1-738d8527cddc\n    health: <strong>HEALTH_OK<\/strong>\n \n  services:\n    mon: 3 daemons, quorum ceph-mon-osd01,osd02,osd03 (age 4h)\n    mgr: ceph-mon-osd01.ibdekn(active, since 4h), standbys: osd02.lfiiww\n    osd: 6 osds: 6 up (since 3h), 6 in (since 3h)\n \n  data:\n    pools:   1 pools, 1 pgs\n    objects: 2 objects, 449 KiB\n    usage:   959 MiB used, 299 GiB \/ 300 GiB avail\n    pgs:     1 <strong>active+clean<\/strong>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"create-ceph-storage-pools-1\">Create Ceph Storage Pools<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ceph has different ways of ensuring that data is safe when an OSD fails or gets corrupted. When you create a Ceph pool, it can either of the type;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>replicated pool or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>erasure-coded pool<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In a replicated type of a pool, which is usually the default type of a pool when you create one, data is copied from the primary OSD across other multiple OSDs in the cluster. By default, Ceph creates two replicas of an object (a total of three copies, or a pool size of 3). Thus, replicated pool type requires more raw storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, in erasure-coded pool type, Ceph uses erasure code algorithms to break object data into two types of chunks that are written across different OSDs;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>data chunks, also know as, data blocks. The data chunks are denoted by <strong>k<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>parity chunks, also known as parity blocks. They are denoted by <strong>m.<\/strong> If a drive fails or becomes corrupted, the parity blocks are used to rebuild the data and as such, they specify how many OSDs that are allowed to fail without causing data loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ceph creates a default erasure code profile when initializing a cluster and it provides the same level of redundancy as two copies in a replicated pool. However, it uses 25% less storage capacity. The default profiles define&nbsp;<strong>k=2<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>m=2<\/strong>, meaning Ceph will spread the object data over four OSDs (<strong>k+m=4<\/strong>) and Ceph can lose one of those OSDs without losing data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The erasure-coded pools reduce the amount of disk space required to ensure data durability but it is computationally a bit more expensive than replicated pools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create Ceph pool use the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>ceph osd pool create {pool-name} pg_num pgp_num<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Where:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><code><strong>{pool-name}<\/strong><\/code>&nbsp;is the name of the Ceph pool you are creating. The name&nbsp;<strong>rbd<\/strong>&nbsp;is recommended but you can use your preferred name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><code><strong>pg_num<\/strong><\/code>&nbsp;is the total number of placement groups for the pool. It determines the number of actual Placement Groups (PGs) that data objects will be divided into. See how to determine the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.ceph.com\/en\/latest\/rados\/operations\/placement-groups\/#choosing-number-of-placement-groups\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Number of PGs<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><code>pgp_num<\/code><\/strong>&nbsp;specifies total number of placement groups for placement purposes.&nbsp;<strong>Should be equal to the total number of placement groups<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let\u2019s see how can calculate the number of PGs. You can use the formula;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Total PGs  = (No. of OSDs x 100)\/pool size<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Where <strong>pool size<\/strong> refers to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>number of replicas for replicated pools or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the K+M sum for erasure-coded pools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The value of PGs should be&nbsp;<strong>rounded UP to the nearest power of two<\/strong>&nbsp;(2^x). Rounding up is optional, but it is recommended for CRUSH to evenly balance the number of objects among placement groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, Ceph creates two replicas of an object (a total of three copies, i.e a pool size of&nbsp;<code>3<\/code>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To calculate the pool size using the default replica size;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><strong>PGs= (6x100)\/3=200<\/strong><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This rounded up to power of 2, gives 256 maximum PGs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can always get the replica size\/replicated pool size using the command, <strong><code>ceph osd dump | grep 'replicated size'<\/code><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To calculate total number of PGs using erasure coding chunk size, you need to get the default values of K+M for erasure-coded pools as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get your erasure coded pool profile;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo ceph osd erasure-code-profile ls<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Output;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>default<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, get the erasure-coded profile information using the command&nbsp;<strong><code>ceph osd erasure-code-profile get &lt;profile&gt;<\/code><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo ceph osd erasure-code-profile get default<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"scroll-box\"><code><strong>k=2\nm=2<\/strong>\nplugin=jerasure\ntechnique=reed_sol_van\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the sum of K and M is 2+2=4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, as per the above PG formula,&nbsp;<strong>PGs=6\u00d7100\/4 = 600\/4 = 150<\/strong>. The nearest power of 2 here is 2^8 =&nbsp;<strong>256<\/strong>. Hence, our PGs should be 256.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are going to create multiple PGs on multiple pools, then you can get the max PGs per pool using the formula;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Total PGs  = ((No. of OSDs x 100)\/pool size)\/No. of Pools<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, in this guide, we will create three pools, so to get the maximum number of PGs per pool;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No of OSDs =6<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>replicated pool size =3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No of Pools =3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>hence;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>PGs=((6x100)\/3)\/3 = 600\/9=66.66<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Rounding up the value to nearest power of 2;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"scroll-box\"><code>2^0     1\n2^1     2\n2^2     4\n2^3     8\n2^4     16\n2^5     32\n2^6     64\n2^7     128\n2^8     256\n...\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>That would be 128 total PGs per pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, let\u2019s create the images pools;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo ceph osd pool create glance-images 128 128<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, create the pools for the block devices and volumes backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo ceph osd pool create cinder-volume 128 128<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo ceph osd pool create cinder-backup 128 128<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>The command will start to gradually create the PGs.

This is because, if the Ceph PG autoscaler feature is enabled (usually enabled by default), Ceph will automatically adjusts the number of Placement Groups (PGs) based on the current OSD count and usage. It aims to optimize the distribution of PGs to improve performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you check the cluster status\/health check command above, we had 1 pool and 1 placement group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After we added our 3 pools and placement groups of 128 each, we now have 4 (including manager) pools and 97 placement groups (32 for each of the ones we created and 1 for the default mgr pool).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo ceph -s<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"scroll-box\"><code>  cluster:\n    id:     1e266088-9480-11ee-a7e1-738d8527cddc\n    health: HEALTH_OK\n \n  services:\n    mon: 3 daemons, quorum ceph-mon-osd01,osd02,osd03 (age 21h)\n    mgr: ceph-mon-osd01.ibdekn(active, since 21h), standbys: osd02.lfiiww\n    osd: 6 osds: 6 up (since 21h), 6 in (since 3d)\n \n  data:\n    pools:   4 pools, 97 pgs\n    objects: 2 objects, 449 KiB\n    usage:   1.2 GiB used, 299 GiB \/ 300 GiB avail\n    pgs:     97 active+clean\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>To check the number of placement groups on a Ceph pool, e.g from our <strong><code>glance-images<\/code><\/strong> pool;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo ceph osd pool get glance-images pg_num<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Sample output;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>pg_num: 32<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, there is a discrepancy between the number of PGs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To check if pg_autoscaler is enabled for a pool,e.g on our glance-images pool;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo ceph osd pool get glance-images pg_autoscale_mode<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Output;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>pg_autoscale_mode: on<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also get the pool auto-scale status as well as the PG recommendations;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>sudo ceph osd pool autoscale-status<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"scroll-sz\"><code>POOL             SIZE  TARGET SIZE  RATE  RAW CAPACITY   RATIO  TARGET RATIO  EFFECTIVE RATIO  BIAS  PG_NUM  NEW PG_NUM  AUTOSCALE  BULK   \n.mgr           448.5k                3.0        300.0G  0.0000                                  1.0       1              on         False  \nglance-images      0                 3.0        300.0G  0.0000                                  1.0      32              on         False  \ncinder-volume      0                 3.0        300.0G  0.0000                                  1.0      32              on         False  \ncinder-backup      0                 3.0        300.0G  0.0000                                  1.0      32              on         False\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more on <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.ceph.com\/en\/latest\/rados\/operations\/placement-groups\/#viewing-pg-scaling-recommendations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PG scaling recommendations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pool names beginning with&nbsp;<code>.<\/code>&nbsp;are reserved for use by Ceph\u2019s internal operations.
