Managing OpenShift Container Storage

Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage 4.5

Instructions for cluster and storage administrators

Red Hat Storage Documentation Team

Abstract

This document covers instructions for managing an OpenShift Container Storage cluster.

Chapter 1. Overview

Managing OpenShift Container Storage is written to help administrators understand how to manage and administer their Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage cluster.

Most management tasks focus on a single resource. This document is divided into chapters based on the resource that an administrator is trying to modify:

Chapter 2. Configure storage for OpenShift Container Platform services

You can use OpenShift Container Storage to provide storage for OpenShift Container Platform services such as image registry, monitoring, and logging.

The process for configuring storage for these services depends on the infrastructure used in your OpenShift Container Storage deployment.

Warning

Always ensure that you have plenty of storage capacity for these services. If the storage for these critical services runs out of space, the cluster becomes inoperable and very difficult to recover.

Red Hat recommends configuring shorter curation and retention intervals for these services. See Configuring the Curator schedule and the Modifying retention time for Prometheus metrics data sub section of Configuring persistent storage in the OpenShift Container Platform documentation for details.

If you do run out of storage space for these services, contact Red Hat Customer Support.

2.1. Configuring Image Registry to use OpenShift Container Storage

OpenShift Container Platform provides a built in Container Image Registry which runs as a standard workload on the cluster. A registry is typically used as a publication target for images built on the cluster as well as a source of images for workloads running on the cluster.

Follow the instructions in this section to configure OpenShift Container Storage as storage for the Container Image Registry. On AWS, it is not required to change the storage for the registry. However, it is recommended to change the storage to OpenShift Container Storage Persistent Volume for vSphere and Baremetal platforms.

Warning

This process does not migrate data from an existing image registry to the new image registry. If you already have container images in your existing registry, back up your registry before you complete this process, and re-register your images when this process is complete.

Prerequisites

  • You have administrative access to OpenShift Web Console.
  • OpenShift Container Storage Operator is installed and running in the openshift-storage namespace. In OpenShift Web Console, click OperatorsInstalled Operators to view installed operators.
  • Image Registry Operator is installed and running in the openshift-image-registry namespace. In OpenShift Web Console, click AdministrationCluster SettingsCluster Operators to view cluster operators.
  • A storage class with provisioner openshift-storage.cephfs.csi.ceph.com is available. In OpenShift Web Console, click Storage → Storage Classes to view available storage classes.

Procedure

  1. Create a Persistent Volume Claim for the Image Registry to use.

    1. In OpenShift Web Console, click StoragePersistent Volume Claims.
    2. Set the Project to openshift-image-registry.
    3. Click Create Persistent Volume Claim.

      1. From the list of available storage classes retrieved above, specify the Storage Class with the provisioner openshift-storage.cephfs.csi.ceph.com.
      2. Specify the Persistent Volume Claim Name, for example, ocs4registry.
      3. Specify an Access Mode of Shared Access (RWX).
      4. Specify a Size of at least 100 GB.
      5. Click Create.

        Wait until the status of the new Persistent Volume Claim is listed as Bound.

  2. Configure the cluster’s Image Registry to use the new Persistent Volume Claim.

    1. Click AdministrationCustom Resource Definitions.
    2. Click the Config custom resource definition associated with the imageregistry.operator.openshift.io group.
    3. Click the Instances tab.
    4. Beside the cluster instance, click the Action Menu (⋮)Edit Config.
    5. Add the new Persistent Volume Claim as persistent storage for the Image Registry.

      1. Add the following under spec:, replacing the existing storage: section if necessary.

          storage:
            pvc:
              claim: <new-pvc-name>

        For example:

          storage:
            pvc:
              claim: ocs4registry
      2. Click Save.
  3. Verify that the new configuration is being used.

    1. Click WorkloadsPods.
    2. Set the Project to openshift-image-registry.
    3. Verify that the new image-registry-* pod appears with a status of Running, and that the previous image-registry-* pod terminates.
    4. Click the new image-registry-* pod to view pod details.
    5. Scroll down to Volumes and verify that the registry-storage volume has a Type that matches your new Persistent Volume Claim, for example, ocs4registry.

2.2. Configuring monitoring to use OpenShift Container Storage

OpenShift Container Storage provides a monitoring stack that is comprised of Prometheus and AlertManager.

Follow the instructions in this section to configure OpenShift Container Storage as storage for the monitoring stack.

Important

Monitoring will not function if it runs out of storage space. Always ensure that you have plenty of storage capacity for monitoring.

Red Hat recommends configuring a short retention intervals for this service. See the Modifying retention time for Prometheus metrics data sub section of Configuring persistent storage in the OpenShift Container Platform documentation for details.

  • A storage class with provisioner openshift-storage.rbd.csi.ceph.com is available. In OpenShift Web Console, click Storage → Storage Classes to view available storage classes.

Procedure

  1. In OpenShift Web Console, go to WorkloadsConfig Maps.
  2. Set the Project dropdown to openshift-monitoring.
  3. Click Create Config Map.
  4. Define a new cluster-monitoring-config Config Map using the following example.

    Replace the content in angle brackets (<, >) with your own values, for example, retention: 24h or storage: 40Gi.

    Replace the storageClassName with the storageclass that uses the provisioner openshift-storage.rbd.csi.ceph.com. In the example given below the name of the storageclass is ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd.

    Example cluster-monitoring-config Config Map

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: ConfigMap
    metadata:
      name: cluster-monitoring-config
      namespace: openshift-monitoring
    data:
      config.yaml: |
          prometheusK8s:
            retention: <time to retain monitoring files, e.g. 24h>
            volumeClaimTemplate:
              metadata:
                name: ocs-prometheus-claim
              spec:
                storageClassName: ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd
                resources:
                  requests:
                    storage: <size of claim, e.g. 40Gi>
          alertmanagerMain:
            volumeClaimTemplate:
              metadata:
                name: ocs-alertmanager-claim
              spec:
                storageClassName: ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd
                resources:
                  requests:
                    storage: <size of claim, e.g. 40Gi>

  5. Click Create to save and create the Config Map.

Verification steps

  1. Verify that the Persistent Volume Claims are bound to the pods.

    1. Go to StoragePersistent Volume Claims.
    2. Set the Project dropdown to openshift-monitoring.
    3. Verify that 5 Persistent Volume Claims are visible with a state of Bound, attached to three alertmanager-main-* pods, and two prometheus-k8s-* pods.

2.3. Cluster logging for OpenShift Container Storage

You can deploy cluster logging to aggregate logs for a range of OpenShift Container Platform services. For information about how to deploy cluster logging, see Deploying cluster logging.

Upon initial OpenShift Container Platform deployment, OpenShift Container Storage is not configured by default and the OpenShift Container Platform cluster will solely rely on default storage available from the nodes. You can edit the default configuration of OpenShift logging (ElasticSearch) to be backed by OpenShift Container Storage to have OpenShift Container Storage backed logging (Elasticsearch).

Important

Always ensure that you have plenty of storage capacity for these services. If you run out of storage space for these critical services, the logging application becomes inoperable and very difficult to recover.

Red Hat recommends configuring shorter curation and retention intervals for these services. See Cluster logging curator in the OpenShift Container Platform documentation for details.

If you run out of storage space for these services, contact Red Hat Customer Support.

2.3.1. Configuring persistent storage

You can configure a persistent storage class and size for the Elasticsearch cluster using the storage class name and size parameters. The Cluster Logging Operator creates a Persistent Volume Claim for each data node in the Elasticsearch cluster based on these parameters. For example:

spec:
    logStore:
      type: "elasticsearch"
      elasticsearch:
        nodeCount: 3
        storage:
          storageClassName: "ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd”
          size: "200G"

This example specifies that each data node in the cluster will be bound to a Persistent Volume Claim that requests 200GiB of ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd storage. Each primary shard will be backed by a single replica. A copy of the shard is replicated across all the nodes and are always available and the copy can be recovered if at least two nodes exist due to the single redundancy policy. For information about Elasticsearch replication policies, see Elasticsearch replication policy in About deploying and configuring cluster logging.

Note

Omission of the storage block will result in a deployment backed by default storage. For example:

spec:
    logStore:
      type: "elasticsearch"
      elasticsearch:
        nodeCount: 3
        storage: {}

For more information, see Configuring cluster logging.

2.3.2. Configuring cluster logging to use OpenShift Container Storage

Follow the instructions in this section to configure OpenShift Container Storage as storage for the OpenShift cluster logging.

Note

You can obtain all the logs when you configure logging for the first time in OpenShift Container Storage. However, after you uninstall and reinstall logging, the old logs are removed and only the new logs are processed.

Prerequisites

  • You have administrative access to OpenShift Web Console.
  • OpenShift Container Storage Operator is installed and running in the openshift-storage namespace.
  • Cluster logging Operator is installed and running in the openshift-logging namespace.

Procedure

  1. Click Administration → Custom Resource Definitions from the left pane of the OpenShift Web Console.
  2. On the Custom Resource Definitions page, click ClusterLogging.
  3. On the Custom Resource Definition Overview page, select View Instances from the Actions menu or click the Instances Tab.
  4. On the Cluster Logging page, click Create Cluster Logging.

    You might have to refresh the page to load the data.

  5. In the YAML, replace the storageClassName with the storageclass that uses the provisioner openshift-storage.rbd.csi.ceph.com. In the example given below the name of the storageclass is ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd:

    apiVersion: "logging.openshift.io/v1"
    kind: "ClusterLogging"
    metadata:
      name: "instance"
      namespace: "openshift-logging"
    spec:
      managementState: "Managed"
      logStore:
        type: "elasticsearch"
        elasticsearch:
          nodeCount: 3
          storage:
            storageClassName: ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd
            size: 200G
          redundancyPolicy: "SingleRedundancy"
      visualization:
        type: "kibana"
        kibana:
          replicas: 1
      curation:
        type: "curator"
        curator:
          schedule: "30 3 * * *"
      collection:
        logs:
          type: "fluentd"
          fluentd: {}
  6. Click Save.

Verification steps

  1. Verify that the Persistent Volume Claims are bound to the elasticsearch pods.

    1. Go to StoragePersistent Volume Claims.
    2. Set the Project dropdown to openshift-logging.
    3. Verify that Persistent Volume Claims are visible with a state of Bound, attached to elasticsearch-* pods.

      Figure 2.1. Cluster logging created and bound

      Screenshot of Persistent Volume Claims with a bound state attached to elasticsearch pods
  2. Verify that the new cluster logging is being used.

    1. Click Workload → Pods.
    2. Set the Project to openshift-logging.
    3. Verify that the new elasticsearch-* pods appear with a state of Running.
    4. Click the new elasticsearch-* pod to view pod details.
    5. Scroll down to Volumes and verify that the elasticsearch volume has a Type that matches your new Persistent Volume Claim, for example, elasticsearch-elasticsearch-cdm-9r624biv-3.
    6. Click the Persistent Volume Claim name and verify the storage class name in the PersistenVolumeClaim Overview page.
Note

Make sure to use a shorter curator time to avoid PV full scenario on PVs attached to Elasticsearch pods.

You can configure Curator to delete Elasticsearch data based on retention settings. It is recommended that you set the following default index data retention of 5 days as a default.

config.yaml: |
    openshift-storage:
      delete:
        days: 5

For more details, see Curation of Elasticsearch Data.

Note

To uninstall the cluster logging backed by Persistent Volume Claim, use the procedure removing the cluster logging operator from OpenShift Container Storage in the uninstall chapter of the respective deployment guide.

Chapter 3. Backing OpenShift Container Platform applications with OpenShift Container Storage

Chapter 4. Scaling storage nodes

To scale the storage capacity of OpenShift Container Storage in internal mode, you can do either of the following:

  • Scale up storage nodes - Add storage capacity to the existing Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage worker nodes
  • Scale out storage nodes - Add new worker nodes containing storage capacity

For scaling your storage in external mode, see Red Hat Ceph Storage documentation.

4.1. Requirements for scaling storage nodes

Before you proceed to scale the storage nodes, refer to the following sections to understand the node requirements for your specific Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage instance:

Important

Always ensure that you have plenty of storage capacity.

If storage ever fills completely, it is not possible to add capacity or delete or migrate content away from the storage to free up space. Completely full storage is very difficult to recover.

Capacity alerts are issued when cluster storage capacity reaches 75% (near-full) and 85% (full) of total capacity. Always address capacity warnings promptly, and review your storage regularly to ensure that you do not run out of storage space.

If you do run out of storage space completely, contact Red Hat Customer Support.

4.1.1. Supported Deployments for Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage

  • User-provisioned infrastructure:

    • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
    • VMware
    • Bare metal
  • Installer-provisioned infrastructure:

    • Amazon Web Services (AWS)

4.2. Scaling up storage capacity

Depending on the type of your deployment, you can choose one of the following procedures to scale up storage capacity.

4.2.1. Scaling up storage by adding capacity to your OpenShift Container Storage nodes on AWS or VMware infrastructure

Use this procedure to add storage capacity and performance to your configured Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage worker nodes.

Prerequisites

  • A running OpenShift Container Storage Platform
  • Administrative privileges on the OpenShift Web Console

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the OpenShift Web Console.
  2. Click on Operators on the left navigation bar.
  3. Select Installed Operators.
  4. In the window, click OpenShift Container Storage Operator:

    ocs installed operators
  5. In the top navigation bar, scroll right and click Storage Cluster tab.

    OCS Storage Cluster overview
  6. The visible list should have only one item. Click (⋮) on the far right to extend the options menu.
  7. Select Add Capacity from the options menu.

    OCS add capacity dialog menu

    From this dialog box, you can set the requested additional capacity and the storage class. Add capacity will show the capacity selected at the time of installation and will allow to add the capacity only in this increment. On AWS, the storage class should be set to gp2. On VMware, the storage class should be set to thin.

    Note

    The effectively provisioned capacity will be three times as much as what you see in the Raw Capacity field because OpenShift Container Storage uses a replica count of 3.

  8. Once you are done with your setting, click Add. You might need to wait a couple of minutes for the storage cluster to reach Ready state.

Verification steps

  1. Navigate to OverviewPersistent Storage tab, then check the Capacity breakdown card.

    ocs add capacity expansion verification capacity card aws
  2. Note that the capacity increases based on your selections.
Important

As of OpenShift Container Storage 4.2, cluster reduction, whether by reducing OSDs or nodes, is not supported.

4.2.2. Scaling up storage by adding capacity to your OpenShift Container Storage nodes using local storage devices

Use this procedure to add storage capacity (additional storage devices) to your configured local storage based OpenShift Container Storage worker nodes on bare metal, and VMware infrastructures.

Important

Scaling up storage on Amazon EC2 I3 is a Technology Preview feature. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

Note

For Amazon EC2 I3 infrastructure, adding nodes is the only option for adding capacity, as deployment is done using both the available NVMe devices.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. To add storage capacity to OpenShift Container Platform nodes with OpenShift Container Storage installed, you need to

    1. Find the unique by-id identifier for available devices that you want to add, that is, a minimum of one device per worker node. You can follow the procedure for finding available storage devices in the respective deployment guide.

      Note

      Make sure you perform this process for all the existing nodes (minimum of 3) for which you want to add storage.

    2. Add the unique device ID to the LocalVolume custom resource (CR).

      $ oc edit -n local-storage localvolume local-block

      Example output:

      spec:
        logLevel: Normal
        managementState: Managed
        nodeSelector:
          nodeSelectorTerms:

          - /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-INTEL_SSDPE2KX010T7_PHLF733402LM1P0GGN
          - /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-INTEL_SSDPE2KX010T7_PHLF733402M21P0GGN
          - /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-INTEL_SSDPE2KX010T7_PHLF733402B71P0GGN    # newly  added device by-id
          - /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-INTEL_SSDPE2KX010T7_PHLF733402A31P0GGN    # newly  added device by-id
          - /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-INTEL_SSDPE2KX010T7_PHLF733402Q71P0GGN    # newly  added device by-id
          storageClassName: localblock
          volumeMode: Block

      Make sure to save the changes after editing the CR.

      Example output:

      localvolume.local.storage.openshift.io/local-block edited

      You can see in this CR that new devices using by-id have been added. Each new device maps to one NVMe device on the three worker nodes.

      • nvme-INTEL_SSDPE2KX010T7_PHLF733402B71P0GGN
      • nvme-INTEL_SSDPE2KX010T7_PHLF733402A31P0GGN
      • nvme-INTEL_SSDPE2KX010T7_PHLF733402Q71P0GGN
  2. Display the newly created PVs with storageclass name used in localVolume CR.

    $ oc get pv | grep localblock | grep Available

    Example output:

    local-pv-5ee61dcc   931Gi   RWO     Delete  Available   localblock      2m35s
    local-pv-b1fa607a   931Gi   RWO     Delete  Available   localblock      2m27s
    local-pv-e971c51d   931Gi   RWO     Delete  Available   localblock      2m22s

5.4. Expanding Persistent Volume Claims

OpenShift Container Storage 4.5 introduces the ability to expand Persistent Volume Claims as a Technology Preview feature providing more flexibility in the management of persistent storage resources.

Expansion is supported for the following Persistent Volumes:

  • PVC with ReadWriteOnce (RWO) and ReadWriteMany (RWX) access that is based on Ceph File System (CephFS) for volume mode Filesystem.
  • PVC with ReadWriteOnce (RWO) access that is based on Ceph RADOS Block Devices (RBDs) with volume mode Filesystem.
  • PVC with ReadWriteOnce (RWO) access that is based on Ceph RADOS Block Devices (RBDs) with volume mode Block.
Important

Expanding Persistent Volumes is a Technology Preview feature. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

For more informaton, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope.

Warning

OSD and MON PVC expansion is not supported by Red Hat.

Note

This Technology Preview feature is only available with fresh installations of OpenShift Container Storage version 4.5. It does not apply to clusters upgraded from previous OpenShift Container Storage releases.

Prerequisites

  • Administrator access to OpenShift Web Console.

Procedure

  1. In OpenShift Web Console, navigate to StoragePersistent Volume Claims.
  2. Click the Action Menu (⋮) next to the Persistent Volume Claim you want to expand.
  3. Click Expand PVC:

    Persistent Volume Claims Expand PVC menu item
  4. Select the new size of the Persistent Volume Claim, then click Expand:

    Expand Persistent Volume Claim wizard
  5. To verify the expansion, navigate to the PVC’s details page and verify the Capacity field has the correct size requested.

    Note

    When expanding PVCs based on Ceph RADOS Block Devices (RBDs), if the PVC is not already attached to a pod the Condition type is FileSystemResizePending in the PVC’s details page. Once the volume is mounted, Filesystem resize succeeds and the new size is reflected in the Capacity field.

5.5. Dynamic provisioning

5.5.1. About dynamic provisioning

The StorageClass resource object describes and classifies storage that can be requested, as well as provides a means for passing parameters for dynamically provisioned storage on demand. StorageClass objects can also serve as a management mechanism for controlling different levels of storage and access to the storage. Cluster Administrators (cluster-admin) or Storage Administrators (storage-admin) define and create the StorageClass objects that users can request without needing any intimate knowledge about the underlying storage volume sources.

The OpenShift Container Platform persistent volume framework enables this functionality and allows administrators to provision a cluster with persistent storage. The framework also gives users a way to request those resources without having any knowledge of the underlying infrastructure.

Many storage types are available for use as persistent volumes in OpenShift Container Platform. While all of them can be statically provisioned by an administrator, some types of storage are created dynamically using the built-in provider and plug-in APIs.

5.5.2. Dynamic provisioning in OpenShift Container Storage

Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage is software-defined storage that is optimised for container environments. It runs as an operator on OpenShift Container Platform to provide highly integrated and simplified persistent storage management for containers.

OpenShift Container Storage supports a variety of storage types, including:

  • Block storage for databases
  • Shared file storage for continuous integration, messaging, and data aggregation
  • Object storage for archival, backup, and media storage

Version 4.5 uses Red Hat Ceph Storage to provide the file, block, and object storage that backs persistent volumes, and Rook.io to manage and orchestrate provisioning of persistent volumes and claims. NooBaa provides object storage, and its Multicloud Gateway allows object federation across multiple cloud environments (available as a Technology Preview).

In OpenShift Container Storage 4.5, the Red Hat Ceph Storage Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver for RADOS Block Device (RBD) and Ceph File System (CephFS) handles the dynamic provisioning requests. When a PVC request comes in dynamically, the CSI driver has the following options:

  • Create a PVC with ReadWriteOnce (RWO) and ReadWriteMany (RWX) access that is based on Ceph RBDs with volume mode Block
  • Create a PVC with ReadWriteOnce (RWO) access that is based on Ceph RBDs with volume mode Filesystem
  • Create a PVC with ReadWriteOnce (RWO) and ReadWriteMany (RWX) access that is based on CephFS for volume mode Filesystem

The judgement of which driver (RBD or CephFS) to use is based on the entry in the storageclass.yaml file.

5.5.3. Available dynamic provisioning plug-ins

OpenShift Container Platform provides the following provisioner plug-ins, which have generic implementations for dynamic provisioning that use the cluster’s configured provider’s API to create new storage resources:

Storage typeProvisioner plug-in nameNotes

OpenStack Cinder

kubernetes.io/cinder

 

AWS Elastic Block Store (EBS)

kubernetes.io/aws-ebs

For dynamic provisioning when using multiple clusters in different zones, tag each node with Key=kubernetes.io/cluster/<cluster_name>,Value=<cluster_id> where <cluster_name> and <cluster_id> are unique per cluster.

AWS Elastic File System (EFS)

 

Dynamic provisioning is accomplished through the EFS provisioner pod and not through a provisioner plug-in.

Azure Disk

kubernetes.io/azure-disk

 

Azure File

kubernetes.io/azure-file

The persistent-volume-binder ServiceAccount requires permissions to create and get Secrets to store the Azure storage account and keys.

GCE Persistent Disk (gcePD)

kubernetes.io/gce-pd

In multi-zone configurations, it is advisable to run one OpenShift Container Platform cluster per GCE project to avoid PVs from being created in zones where no node in the current cluster exists.

VMware vSphere

kubernetes.io/vsphere-volume

 
Important

Any chosen provisioner plug-in also requires configuration for the relevant cloud, host, or third-party provider as per the relevant documentation.

Chapter 6. Managing container storage interface (CSI) component placements

Each cluster consists of a number of dedicated nodes such as infra and storage nodes. However, an infra node with a custom taint will not be able to use OpenShift Container Storage Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) on the node. So, if you want to use such nodes, you can set tolerations to bring up csi-plugins on the nodes. For more information, see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4827161.

Procedure

  1. Edit the configmap to add the toleration for the custom taint. Remember to save before exiting the editor.

    $ oc edit configmap rook-ceph-operator-config -n openshift-storage
  2. Display the configmap to check the added toleration.

    $ oc get configmap rook-ceph-operator-config -n openshift-storage -o yaml

    Example output of the added toleration for the taint, nodetype=infra:NoSchedule :

    apiVersion: v1
    data:
    [...]
      CSI_PLUGIN_TOLERATIONS: |
        - effect: NoSchedule
          key: nodetype
          operator: Equal
          value: infra
        - effect: NoSchedule
          key: node.ocs.openshift.io/storage
          operator: Exists
    [...]
    kind: ConfigMap
    metadata:
    [...]
  3. Restart the rook-ceph-operator if the csi-cephfsplugin-* and csi-rbdplugin-* pods fail to come up on their own on the infra nodes.

    $ oc delete -n openshift-storage pod <name of the rook_ceph_operator pod>

    Example :

    $ oc delete -n openshift-storage pod rook-ceph-operator-5446f9b95b-jrn2j
    
    pod "rook-ceph-operator-5446f9b95b-jrn2j" deleted

Verification step

Verify that the csi-cephfsplugin-* and csi-rbdplugin-* pods are running on the infra nodes.

Chapter 7. Multicloud Object Gateway

7.1. About the Multicloud Object Gateway

The Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) is a lightweight object storage service for OpenShift, allowing users to start small and then scale as needed on-premise, in multiple clusters, and with cloud-native storage.

7.2. Accessing the Multicloud Object Gateway with your applications

You can access the object service with any application targeting AWS S3 or code that uses AWS S3 Software Development Kit (SDK). Applications need to specify the MCG endpoint, an access key, and a secret access key. You can use your terminal or the MCG CLI to retrieve this information.

For information on accessing the RADOS Object Gateway S3 endpoint, see Chapter 8, Accessing the RADOS Object Gateway S3 endpoint.

Prerequisites

  • A running OpenShift Container Storage Platform
  • Download the MCG command-line interface for easier management:

    # subscription-manager repos --enable=rh-ocs-4-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
    # yum install mcg
  • Alternatively, you can install the mcg package from the OpenShift Container Storage RPMs found at Download RedHat OpenShift Container Storage page.

You can access the relevant endpoint, access key, and secret access key two ways:

7.2.1. Accessing the Multicloud Object Gateway from the terminal

Procedure

Run the describe command to view information about the MCG endpoint, including its access key (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID value) and secret access key (AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY value):

7.3. Allowing user access to the Multicloud Object Gateway Console

To allow access to the Multicloud Object Gateway Console to a user, ensure that the user meets the following conditions:

  • User is in cluster-admins group.
  • User is in system:cluster-admins virtual group.

Prerequisites

  • A running OpenShift Container Storage Platform.

Procedure

  1. Enable access to the Multicloud Object Gateway console.

    Perform the following steps once on the cluster :

    1. Create a cluster-admins group.

      # oc adm groups new cluster-admins
    2. Bind the group to the cluster-admin role.

      # oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-group cluster-admin cluster-admins
  2. Add or remove users from the cluster-admins group to control access to the Multicloud Object Gateway console.

    • To add a set of users to the cluster-admins group :

      # oc adm groups add-users cluster-admins <user-name> <user-name> <user-name>...

      where <user-name> is the name of the user to be added.

      Note

      If you are adding a set of users to the cluster-admins group, you do not need to bind the newly added users to the cluster-admin role to allow access to the OpenShift Container Storage dashboard.

    • To remove a set of users from the cluster-admins group :

      # oc adm groups remove-users cluster-admins <user-name> <user-name> <user-name>...

      where <user-name> is the name of the user to be removed.

Verification steps

  1. On the OpenShift Web Console, login as a user with access permission to Multicloud Object Gateway Console.
  2. Navigate to HomeOverviewPersistent Storage tab → select the noobaa link .
  3. On the Multicloud Object Gateway Console, login as the same user with access permission.

7.4.3. Creating an s3 compatible Multicloud Object Gateway backingstore

The Multicloud Object Gateway can use any S3 compatible object storage as a backing store, for example, Red Hat Ceph Storage’s RADOS Gateway (RGW). The following procedure shows how to create an S3 compatible Multicloud Object Gateway backing store for Red Hat Ceph Storage’s RADOS Gateway. Note that when RGW is deployed, Openshift Container Storage operator creates an S3 compatible backingstore for Multicloud Object Gateway automatically.

Procedure

  1. From the Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) command-line interface, run the following NooBaa command:

    noobaa backingstore create s3-compatible rgw-resource --access-key=<RGW ACCESS KEY> --secret-key=<RGW SECRET KEY> --target-bucket=<bucket-name> --endpoint=http://rook-ceph-rgw-ocs-storagecluster-cephobjectstore.openshift-storage.svc.cluster.local:80
    1. To get the <RGW ACCESS KEY> and <RGW SECRET KEY>, run the following command using your RGW user secret name:

      oc get secret <RGW USER SECRET NAME> -o yaml
    2. Decode the access key ID and the access key from Base64 and keep them.
    3. Replace <RGW USER ACCESS KEY> and <RGW USER SECRET ACCESS KEY> with the appropriate, decoded data from the previous step.
    4. Replace <bucket-name> with an existing RGW bucket name. This argument tells Multicloud Object Gateway which bucket to use as a target bucket for its backing store, and subsequently, data storage and administration.

      The output will be similar to the following:

      INFO[0001] ✅ Exists: NooBaa "noobaa"
      INFO[0002] ✅ Created: BackingStore "rgw-resource"
      INFO[0002] ✅ Created: Secret "backing-store-secret-rgw-resource"

You can also create the backingstore using a YAML:

  1. Create a CephObjectStore user. This also creates a secret containing the RGW credentials:

    apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1
    kind: CephObjectStoreUser
    metadata:
      name: <RGW-Username>
      namespace: openshift-storage
    spec:
      store: ocs-storagecluster-cephobjectstore
      displayName: "<Display-name>"
    1. Replace <RGW-Username> and <Display-name> with a unique username and display name.
  2. Apply the following YAML for an S3-Compatible backing store:

    apiVersion: noobaa.io/v1alpha1
    kind: BackingStore
    metadata:
      finalizers:
      - noobaa.io/finalizer
      labels:
        app: noobaa
      name: <backingstore-name>
      namespace: openshift-storage
    spec:
      s3Compatible:
        endpoint: http://rook-ceph-rgw-ocs-storagecluster-cephobjectstore.openshift-storage.svc.cluster.local:80
        secret:
          name: <backingstore-secret-name>
          namespace: openshift-storage
        signatureVersion: v4
        targetBucket: <RGW-bucket-name>
      type: s3-compatible
    1. Replace <backingstore-secret-name> with the name of the secret that was created with CephObjectStore in the previous step.
    2. Replace <bucket-name> with an existing RGW bucket name. This argument tells Multicloud Object Gateway which bucket to use as a target bucket for its backing store, and subsequently, data storage and administration.

7.5. Mirroring data for hybrid and Multicloud buckets

The Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) simplifies the process of spanning data across cloud provider and clusters.

Prerequisites

Then you create a bucket class that reflects the data management policy, mirroring.

Procedure

You can set up mirroring data three ways:

7.5.1. Creating bucket classes to mirror data using the MCG command-line-interface

  1. From the MCG command-line interface, run the following command to create a bucket class with a mirroring policy:

    $ noobaa bucketclass create mirror-to-aws --backingstores=azure-resource,aws-resource --placement Mirror
  2. Set the newly created bucket class to a new bucket claim, generating a new bucket that will be mirrored between two locations:

    $ noobaa obc create  mirrored-bucket --bucketclass=mirror-to-aws

7.5.2. Creating bucket classes to mirror data using a YAML

  1. Apply the following YAML. This YAML is a hybrid example that mirrors data between local Ceph storage and AWS:

    apiVersion: noobaa.io/v1alpha1
    kind: BucketClass
    metadata:
      name: hybrid-class
      labels:
        app: noobaa
    spec:
      placementPolicy:
        tiers:
          - tier:
              mirrors:
                - mirror:
                    spread:
                      - cos-east-us
                - mirror:
                    spread:
                      - noobaa-test-bucket-for-ocp201907291921-11247_resource
  2. Add the following lines to your standard Object Bucket Claim (OBC):

    additionalConfig:
      bucketclass: mirror-to-aws

    For more information about OBCs, see Section 7.7, “Object Bucket Claim”.

7.5.3. Configuring buckets to mirror data using the user interface

  1. In your OpenShift Storage console, navigate to OverviewObject Service → select the noobaa link:

    MCG object service noobaa link
  2. Click the buckets icon on the left side. You will see a list of your buckets:

    MCG noobaa bucket icon
  3. Click the bucket you want to update.
  4. Click Edit Tier 1 Resources:

    MCG edit tier 1 resources
  5. Select Mirror and check the relevant resources you want to use for this bucket. In the following example, we mirror data between on prem Ceph RGW to AWS:

    MCG mirror relevant resources
  6. Click Save.
Note

Resources created in NooBaa UI cannot be used by OpenShift UI or MCG CLI.

7.6. Bucket policies in the Multicloud Object Gateway

OpenShift Container Storage supports AWS S3 bucket policies. Bucket policies allow you to grant users access permissions for buckets and the objects in them.

7.6.1. About bucket policies

Bucket policies are an access policy option available for you to grant permission to your AWS S3 buckets and objects. Bucket policies use JSON-based access policy language. For more information about access policy language, see AWS Access Policy Language Overview.

7.6.2. Using bucket policies

Prerequisites

Procedure

To use bucket policies in the Multicloud Object Gateway:

  1. Create the bucket policy in JSON format. See the following example:

    {
        "Version": "NewVersion",
        "Statement": [
            {
                "Sid": "Example",
                "Effect": "Allow",
                "Principal": [
                        "john.doe@example.com"
                ],
                "Action": [
                    "s3:GetObject"
                ],
                "Resource": [
                    "arn:aws:s3:::john_bucket"
                ]
            }
        ]
    }

    There are many available elements for bucket policies. For details on these elements and examples of how they can be used, see AWS Access Policy Language Overview.

    For more examples of bucket policies, see AWS Bucket Policy Examples.

    Instructions for creating S3 users can be found in Section 7.6.3, “Creating an AWS S3 user in the Multicloud Object Gateway”.

  2. Using AWS S3 client, use the put-bucket-policy command to apply the bucket policy to your S3 bucket:

    # aws --endpoint ENDPOINT --no-verify-ssl s3api put-bucket-policy --bucket MyBucket --policy BucketPolicy

    Replace ENDPOINT with the S3 endpoint

    Replace MyBucket with the bucket to set the policy on

    Replace BucketPolicy with the bucket policy JSON file

    Add --no-verify-ssl if you are using the default self signed certificates

    For example:

    # aws --endpoint https://s3-openshift-storage.apps.gogo44.noobaa.org --no-verify-ssl s3api put-bucket-policy -bucket MyBucket --policy file://BucketPolicy

    For more information on the put-bucket-policy command, see the AWS CLI Command Reference for put-bucket-policy.

Note

The principal element specifies the user that is allowed or denied access to a resource, such as a bucket. Currently, Only NooBaa accounts can be used as principals. In the case of object bucket claims, NooBaa automatically create an account obc-account.<generated bucket name>@noobaa.io.

Note

Bucket policy conditions are not supported.

7.6.3. Creating an AWS S3 user in the Multicloud Object Gateway

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. In your OpenShift Storage console, navigate to OverviewObject Service → select the noobaa link:

    MCG object service noobaa link
  2. Under the Accounts tab, click Create Account:

    MCG accounts create account button
  3. Select S3 Access Only, provide the Account Name, for example, john.doe@example.com. Click Next:

    MCG create account s3 user
  4. Select S3 default placement, for example, noobaa-default-backing-store. Select Buckets Permissions. A specific bucket or all buckets can be selected. Click Create:

    MCG create account s3 user2

7.7. Object Bucket Claim

An Object Bucket Claim can be used to request an S3 compatible bucket backend for your workloads.

You can create an Object Bucket Claim three ways:

An object bucket claim creates a new bucket and an application account in NooBaa with permissions to the bucket, including a new access key and secret access key. The application account is allowed to access only a single bucket and can’t create new buckets by default.

7.7.1. Dynamic Object Bucket Claim

Similar to Persistent Volumes, you can add the details of the Object Bucket claim to your application’s YAML, and get the object service endpoint, access key, and secret access key available in a configuration map and secret. It is easy to read this information dynamically into environment variables of your application.

Procedure

  1. Add the following lines to your application YAML:

    apiVersion: objectbucket.io/v1alpha1
    kind: ObjectBucketClaim
    metadata:
      name: <obc-name>
    spec:
      generateBucketName: <obc-bucket-name>
      storageClassName: openshift-storage.noobaa.io

    These lines are the Object Bucket Claim itself.

    1. Replace <obc-name> with the a unique Object Bucket Claim name.
    2. Replace <obc-bucket-name> with a unique bucket name for your Object Bucket Claim.
  2. You can add more lines to the YAML file to automate the use of the Object Bucket Claim. The example below is the mapping between the bucket claim result, which is a configuration map with data and a secret with the credentials. This specific job will claim the Object Bucket from NooBaa, which will create a bucket and an account.

    apiVersion: batch/v1
    kind: Job
    metadata:
      name: testjob
    spec:
      template:
        spec:
          restartPolicy: OnFailure
          containers:
            - image: <your application image>
              name: test
              env:
                - name: BUCKET_NAME
                  valueFrom:
                    configMapKeyRef:
                      name: <obc-name>
                      key: BUCKET_NAME
                - name: BUCKET_HOST
                  valueFrom:
                    configMapKeyRef:
                      name: <obc-name>
                      key: BUCKET_HOST
                - name: BUCKET_PORT
                  valueFrom:
                    configMapKeyRef:
                      name: <obc-name>
                      key: BUCKET_PORT
                - name: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
                  valueFrom:
                    secretKeyRef:
                      name: <obc-name>
                      key: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
                - name: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
                  valueFrom:
                    secretKeyRef:
                      name: <obc-name>
                      key: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
    1. Replace all instances of <obc-name> with your Object Bucket Claim name.
    2. Replace <your application image> with your application image.
  3. Apply the updated YAML file:

    # oc apply -f <yaml.file>
    1. Replace <yaml.file> with the name of your YAML file.
  4. To view the new configuration map, run the following:

    # oc get cm <obc-name> -o yaml
    1. Replace obc-name with the name of your Object Bucket Claim.

      You can expect the following environment variables in the output:

      • BUCKET_HOST - Endpoint to use in the application
      • BUCKET_PORT - The port available for the application

      • BUCKET_NAME - Requested or generated bucket name
      • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID - Access key that is part of the credentials
      • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - Secret access key that is part of the credentials

7.7.2. Creating an Object Bucket Claim using the command line interface

When creating an Object Bucket Claim using the command-line interface, you get a configuration map and a Secret that together contain all the information your application needs to use the object storage service.

Prerequisites

  • Download the MCG command-line interface:

    # subscription-manager repos --enable=rh-ocs-4-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
    # yum install mcg

Procedure

  1. Use the command-line interface to generate the details of a new bucket and credentials. Run the following command:

    # noobaa obc create <obc-name> -n openshift-storage

    Replace <obc-name> with a unique Object Bucket Claim name, for example, myappobc.

    Additionally, you can use the --app-namespace option to specify the namespace where the Object Bucket Claim configuration map and secret will be created, for example, myapp-namespace.

    Example output:

    INFO[0001] ✅ Created: ObjectBucketClaim "test21obc"

    The MCG command-line-interface has created the necessary configuration and has informed OpenShift about the new OBC.

  2. Run the following command to view the Object Bucket Claim:

    # oc get obc -n openshift-storage

    Example output:

    NAME        STORAGE-CLASS                 PHASE   AGE
    test21obc   openshift-storage.noobaa.io   Bound   38s
  3. Run the following command to view the YAML file for the new Object Bucket Claim:

    # oc get obc test21obc -o yaml -n openshift-storage

    Example output:

    apiVersion: objectbucket.io/v1alpha1
    kind: ObjectBucketClaim

7.8. Scaling Multicloud Object Gateway performance by adding endpoints

The Multicloud Object Gateway performance may vary from one environment to another. In some cases, specific applications require faster performance which can be easily addressed by scaling S3 endpoints, which is a Technology Preview feature.

The Multicloud Object Gateway resource pool is a group of NooBaa daemon containers that provide two types of services enabled by default:

  • Storage service
  • S3 endpoint service
Important

Scaling Multicloud Object Gateway performance by adding endpoints is a Technology Preview feature. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

For more information, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope.

7.8.1. S3 endpoints in the Multicloud Object Gateway

The S3 endpoint is a service that every Multicloud Object Gateway provides by default that handles the heavy lifting data digestion in the Multicloud Object Gateway. The endpoint service handles the inline data chunking, deduplication, compression, and encryption, and it accepts data placement instructions from the Multicloud Object Gateway.

7.8.2. Scaling with storage nodes

Prerequisites

  • A running OpenShift Container Storage cluster on OpenShift Container Platform with access to the Multicloud Object Gateway.

A storage node in the Multicloud Object Gateway is a NooBaa daemon container attached to one or more Persistent Volumes and used for local object service data storage. NooBaa daemons can be deployed on Kubernetes nodes. This can be done by creating a Kubernetes pool consisting of StatefulSet pods.

Procedure

  1. In the Multicloud Object Gateway user interface, from the Overview page, click Add Storage Resources:

    MCG add storage resources button
  2. In the window, click Deploy Kubernetes Pool:

    MCG deploy kubernetes pool
  3. In the Create Pool step create the target pool for the future installed nodes.

    MCG deploy kubernetes pool create pool
  4. In the Configure step, configure the number of requested pods and the size of each PV. For each new pod, one PV is be created.

    MCG deploy kubernetes pool configure
  5. In the Review step, you can find the details of the new pool and select the deployment method you wish to use: local or external deployment. If local deployment is selected, the Kubernetes nodes will deploy within the cluster. If external deployment is selected, you will be provided with a YAML file to run externally.
  6. All nodes will be assigned to the pool you chose in the first step, and can be found under ResourcesStorage resourcesResource name:

    MCG storage resources overview

Chapter 8. Accessing the RADOS Object Gateway S3 endpoint

Users can access the RADOS Object Gateway (RGW) endpoint directly.

Prerequisites

  • A running OpenShift Container Storage Platform

Procedure

  1. Run oc get service command to get the RGW service name.

    $ oc get service
    
    NAME                                               TYPE
    rook-ceph-rgw-ocs-storagecluster-cephobjectstore   ClusterIP
    
    CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)    AGE
    172.30.99.207    <none>        80/TCP     4d15h
  2. Run oc expose command to expose the RGW service.

    $ oc expose svc/<RGW service name> --hostname=<route name>

    Replace <RGW-service name> with the RGW service name from the previous step.

    Replace <route name> with a route you want to create for the RGW service.

    For example:

    $ oc expose svc/rook-ceph-rgw-ocs-storagecluster-cephobjectstore --hostname=rook-ceph-rgw-ocs.ocp.host.example.com
  3. Run oc get route command to confirm oc expose is successful and there is an RGW route.

    $ oc get route
    
    NAME                                               HOST/PORT                                PATH
    rook-ceph-rgw-ocs-storagecluster-cephobjectstore   rook-ceph-rgw-ocsocp.host.example.com
    
    SERVICES                                           PORT         TERMINATION   WILDCARD
    rook-ceph-rgw-ocs-storagecluster-cephobjectstore   http         <none>

Verify

  • To verify the ENDPOINT, run the following command:

    aws s3 --no-verify-ssl --endpoint <ENDPOINT> ls

    Replace <ENDPOINT> with the route that you get from the command in the above step 3.

    For example:

    $ aws s3 --no-verify-ssl --endpoint http://rook-ceph-rgw-ocs.ocp.host.example.com ls
Note

To get the access key and secret of the default user ocs-storagecluster-cephobjectstoreuser, run the following commands:

  • Access key:

    $ oc get secret rook-ceph-object-user-ocs-storagecluster-cephobjectstore-ocs-storagecluster-cephobjectstoreuser  -o yaml | grep -w "AccessKey:" | head -n1 | awk '{print $2}' | base64 --decode
  • Secret key:

    $ oc get secret rook-ceph-object-user-ocs-storagecluster-cephobjectstore-ocs-storagecluster-cephobjectstoreuser  -o yaml | grep -w "SecretKey:" | head -n1 | awk '{print $2}' | base64 --decode

Chapter 9. Replacing storage nodes for OpenShift Container Storage

For OpenShift Container Storage, node replacement can be performed proactively for an operational node and reactively for a failed node for the following deployments:

  • For Amazon Web Services (AWS)

    • User-provisioned infrastructure
    • Installer-provisioned infrastructure
  • For VMware

    • User-provisioned infrastructure

    $ oc delete deployment --selector=app=rook-ceph-crashcollector,node_name=<old_node_name> -n openshift-storage
  18. Deploy the new OSD by restarting the rook-ceph-operator to force operator reconciliation.

    # oc get -n openshift-storage pod -l app=rook-ceph-operator

    Example output:

    NAME                                  READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
    rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-2d982   1/1     Running   0          1d20h
    1. Delete the rook-ceph-operator.

      # oc delete -n openshift-storage pod rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-2d982

      Example output:

      pod "rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-2d982" deleted
    2. Verify that the rook-ceph-operator pod is restarted.

      # oc get -n openshift-storage pod -l app=rook-ceph-operator

      Example output:

      NAME                                  READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
      rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-7mvrq   1/1     Running   0          66s

      Creation of the new OSD and mon might take several minutes after the operator restarts.

  19. Delete the ocs-osd-removal job.

  16. Remove the failed OSD from the cluster.

    # oc process -n openshift-storage ocs-osd-removal -p FAILED_OSD_ID=${osd_id_to_remove} | oc create -f -
  17. Verify that the OSD is removed successfully by checking the status of the ocs-osd-removal pod. A status of Completed confirms that the OSD removal job succeeded.

    # oc get pod -l job-name=ocs-osd-removal-${osd_id_to_remove} -n openshift-storage
    Note

    If ocs-osd-removal fails and the pod is not in the expected Completed state, check the pod logs for further debugging. For example:

    # oc logs -l job-name=ocs-osd-removal-${osd_id_to_remove} -n openshift-storage --tail=-1
  18. Delete OSD pod deployment and crashcollector pod deployment.

    $ oc delete deployment rook-ceph-osd-${osd_id_to_remove} -n openshift-storage
    $ oc delete deployment --selector=app=rook-ceph-crashcollector,node_name=<old_node_name> -n openshift-storage
  19. Deploy the new OSD by restarting the rook-ceph-operator to force operator reconciliation.

    # oc get -n openshift-storage pod -l app=rook-ceph-operator

Verification steps

  1. Execute the following command and verify that the new node is present in the output:

    $ oc get nodes --show-labels | grep cluster.ocs.openshift.io/openshift-storage= |cut -d' ' -f1
  2. Click Workloads → Pods, confirm that at least the following pods on the new node are in Running state:

    • csi-cephfsplugin-*
    • csi-rbdplugin-*
  3. Verify that all other required OpenShift Container Storage pods are in Running state.

    Also, ensure that the new incremental mon is created and is in the Running state.

    $ oc get pod -n openshift-storage | grep mon

    Example output:

    rook-ceph-mon-a-64556f7659-c2ngc    1/1     Running     0   5h1m
    rook-ceph-mon-b-7c8b74dc4d-tt6hd    1/1     Running     0   5h1m
    rook-ceph-mon-d-57fb8c657-wg5f2     1/1     Running     0   27m

    OSDs and mon’s might take several minutes to get to the Running state.

9.3.2.3. Replacing a failed Amazon EC2 node on user-provisioned infrastructure

The ephemeral storage of Amazon EC2 I3 for OpenShift Container Storage might cause data loss when there is an instance power off. Use this procedure to recover from such an instance power off on Amazon EC2 infrastructure.

Important

Replacing storage nodes in Amazon EC2 I3 infrastructure is a Technology Preview feature. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

Prerequisites

  • You must be logged into the OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) cluster.

Procedure

  1. Identify the node and get labels on the node to be replaced.

    $ oc get nodes --show-labels | grep <node_name>
  2. Identify the mon (if any) and OSDs that are running in the node to be replaced.

    $ oc get pods -n openshift-storage -o wide | grep -i <node_name>
  3. Scale down the deployments of the pods identified in the previous step.

    For example:

    $ oc scale deployment rook-ceph-mon-c --replicas=0 -n openshift-storage
    $ oc scale deployment rook-ceph-osd-0 --replicas=0 -n openshift-storage
    $ oc scale deployment --selector=app=rook-ceph-crashcollector,node_name=<node_name>  --replicas=0 -n openshift-storage
  4. Mark the nodes as unschedulable.

    $ oc adm cordon <node_name>
  5. Remove the pods which are in Terminating state.

    $ oc get pods -A -o wide | grep -i <node_name> |  awk '{if ($4 == "Terminating") system ("oc -n " $1 " delete pods " $2  " --grace-period=0 " " --force ")}'
  6. Drain the node.

    $ oc adm drain <node_name> --force --delete-local-data --ignore-daemonsets
  7. Delete the node.

    $ oc delete node <node_name>
  8. Create a new Amazon EC2 I3 machine instance with the required infrastructure. See Supported Infrastructure and Platforms.
  9. Create a new OpenShift Container Platform node using the new Amazon EC2 I3 machine instance.
  10. Check for certificate signing requests (CSRs) related to OpenShift Container Platform that are in Pending state:

    $ oc get csr
  11. Approve all required OpenShift Container Platform CSRs for the new node:

    $ oc adm certificate approve <Certificate_Name>
  12. Click Compute → Nodes in the OpenShift web console. Confirm if the new node is in Ready state.
  13. Apply the OpenShift Container Storage label to the new node using any one of the following:

    From User interface
    1. For the new node, click Action Menu (⋮) → Edit Labels.
    2. Add cluster.ocs.openshift.io/openshift-storage and click Save.
    From Command line interface
    • Execute the following command to apply the OpenShift Container Storage label to the new node:
    $ oc label node <new_node_name> cluster.ocs.openshift.io/openshift-storage=""
  14. Add the local storage devices available in the new worker node to the OpenShift Container Storage StorageCluster.

    1. Add the new disk entries to LocalVolume CR.

      Edit LocalVolume CR. You can either remove or comment out the failed device /dev/disk/by-id/{id} and add the new /dev/disk/by-id/{id}.

      $ oc get -n local-storage localvolume

      Example output:

      NAME          AGE
      local-block   25h
      $ oc edit -n local-storage localvolume local-block

    2. Verify that the rook-ceph-operator pod is restarted.

      $ oc get -n openshift-storage pod -l app=rook-ceph-operator

      Example output:

      NAME                                  READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
      rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-7mvrq   1/1     Running   0          66s

      Creation of the new OSD may take several minutes after the operator starts.

  19. Delete the ocs-osd-removal job(s).

    $ oc delete job ocs-osd-removal-${osd_id_to_remove}

    Example output:

    job.batch "ocs-osd-removal-0" deleted

Verification steps

  1. Execute the following command and verify that the new node is present in the output:

    $ oc get nodes --show-labels | grep cluster.ocs.openshift.io/openshift-storage= |cut -d' ' -f1
  2. Click Workloads → Pods, confirm that at least the following pods on the new node are in Running state:

    • csi-cephfsplugin-*
    • csi-rbdplugin-*
  3. Verify that all other required OpenShift Container Storage pods are in Running state.

    Also, ensure that the new incremental mon is created and is in the Running state.

    $ oc get pod -n openshift-storage | grep mon

    Example output:

    rook-ceph-mon-a-64556f7659-c2ngc    1/1     Running     0   5h1m
    rook-ceph-mon-b-7c8b74dc4d-tt6hd    1/1     Running     0   5h1m
    rook-ceph-mon-d-57fb8c657-wg5f2     1/1     Running     0   27m

    OSDs and mon’s might take several minutes to get to the Running state.

  16. Delete the PV associated with the failed node.

    1. Identify the DeviceSet associated with the OSD to be replaced.

      # osd_id_to_remove=0
      # oc get -n openshift-storage -o yaml deployment rook-ceph-osd-${osd_id_to_remove} | grep ceph.rook.io/pvc

      where, osd_id_to_remove is the integer in the pod name immediately after the rook-ceph-osd prefix. In this example, the deployment name is rook-ceph-osd-0.

      Example output:

      ceph.rook.io/pvc: ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68
      ceph.rook.io/pvc: ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68

      In this example, the PVC name is ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68.

    2. Identify the PV associated with the PVC.

      # oc get -n openshift-storage pvc ocs-deviceset-<x>-<y>-<pvc-suffix>

      where, x, y, and pvc-suffix are the values in the DeviceSet identified in the previous step.

      Example output:

      NAME                      STATUS        VOLUME        CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS   AGE
      ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68   Bound   local-pv-d9c5cbd6   1490Gi     RWO            localblock     24h

      In this example, the associated PV is local-pv-d9c5cbd6.

    3. Delete the PVC.

      oc delete pvc <pvc-name> -n openshift-storage
    4. Delete the PV.

      # oc delete pv local-pv-d9c5cbd6

      Example output:

      persistentvolume "local-pv-d9c5cbd6" deleted
  17. Remove the failed OSD from the cluster.

    # oc process -n openshift-storage ocs-osd-removal -p FAILED_OSD_ID=${osd_id_to_remove} | oc create -f -
  18. Verify that the OSD is removed successfully by checking the status of the ocs-osd-removal pod. A status of Completed confirms that the OSD removal job succeeded.

    # oc get pod -l job-name=ocs-osd-removal-${osd_id_to_remove} -n openshift-storage
    Note

    If ocs-osd-removal fails and the pod is not in the expected Completed state, check the pod logs for further debugging. For example:

    # oc logs -l job-name=ocs-osd-removal-${osd_id_to_remove} -n openshift-storage --tail=-1
  19. Delete OSD pod deployment and crashcollector pod deployment.

    $ oc delete deployment rook-ceph-osd-${osd_id_to_remove} -n openshift-storage
    $ oc delete deployment --selector=app=rook-ceph-crashcollector,node_name=<old_node_name> -n openshift-storage
  20. Deploy the new OSD by restarting the rook-ceph-operator to force operator reconciliation.

    # oc get -n openshift-storage pod -l app=rook-ceph-operator

    Example output:

    NAME                                  READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
    rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-2d982   1/1     Running   0          1d20h
    1. Delete the rook-ceph-operator.

      # oc delete -n openshift-storage pod rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-2d982

      Example output:

      pod "rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-2d982" deleted
    2. Verify that the rook-ceph-operator pod is restarted.

      # oc get -n openshift-storage pod -l app=rook-ceph-operator

      Example output:

      NAME                                  READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
      rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-7mvrq   1/1     Running   0          66s

      Creation of the new OSD and mon might take several minutes after the operator restarts.

  21. Delete the`ocs-osd-removal` job.

    # oc delete job ocs-osd-removal-${osd_id_to_remove}

    Example output:

    job.batch "ocs-osd-removal-0" deleted

Verification steps

  1. Execute the following command and verify that the new node is present in the output:

    $ oc get nodes --show-labels | grep cluster.ocs.openshift.io/openshift-storage= |cut -d' ' -f1
  2. Click Workloads → Pods, confirm that at least the following pods on the new node are in Running state:

    • csi-cephfsplugin-*
    • csi-rbdplugin-*
  3. Verify that all other required OpenShift Container Storage pods are in Running state.

    Ensure that the new incremental mon is created and is in the Running state.

    $ oc get pod -n openshift-storage | grep mon

    Example output:

    rook-ceph-mon-c-64556f7659-c2ngc                                  1/1     Running     0          6h14m
    rook-ceph-mon-d-7c8b74dc4d-tt6hd                                  1/1     Running     0          4h24m
    rook-ceph-mon-e-57fb8c657-wg5f2                                   1/1     Running     0          162m

    OSD and Mon might take several minutes to get to the Running state.

  4. If verification steps fail, contact Red Hat Support.

Chapter 10. Replacing a storage device

Depending on the type of your deployment, you can choose one of the following procedures to replace a storage device:

10.1. Dynamically provisioned OpenShift Container Storage deployed on AWS

10.1.1. Replacing operational or failed storage devices on AWS user-provisioned infrastructure

When you need to replace a device in a dynamically created storage cluster on an AWS user-provisioned infrastructure, you must replace the storage node. For information about how to replace nodes, see:

10.1.2. Replacing operational or failed storage devices on AWS installer-provisioned infrastructure

When you need to replace a device in a dynamically created storage cluster on an AWS installer-provisioned infrastructure, you must replace the storage node. For information about how to replace nodes, see:

10.2. Dynamically provisioned OpenShift Container Storage deployed on VMware

10.2.1. Replacing operational or failed storage devices on VMware user-provisioned infrastructure

Use this procedure when a virtual machine disk (VMDK) needs to be replaced in OpenShift Container Storage which is deployed dynamically on VMware infrastructure. This procedure helps to create a new Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) on a new volume and remove the old object storage device (OSD).

Procedure

  1. Identify the OSD that needs to be replaced.

    # oc get -n openshift-storage pods -l app=rook-ceph-osd -o wide

    Example output:

    rook-ceph-osd-0-6d77d6c7c6-m8xj6    0/1    CrashLoopBackOff    0    24h   10.129.0.16   compute-2   <none>           <none>
    rook-ceph-osd-1-85d99fb95f-2svc7    1/1    Running    0    24h   10.128.2.24   compute-0   <none>           <none>
    rook-ceph-osd-2-6c66cdb977-jp542    1/1    Running    0    24h   10.131.2.32   compute-1   <none>           <none>

    In this example, rook-ceph-osd-0-6d77d6c7c6-m8xj6 needs to be replaced.

    Note

    If the OSD to be replaced is healthy, the status of the pod will be Running.

  2. Scale down the OSD deployment for the OSD to be replaced

    # osd_id_to_remove=0
    # oc scale -n openshift-storage deployment rook-ceph-osd-${osd_id_to_remove} --replicas=0

    where, osd_id_to_remove is the integer in the pod name immediately after the rook-ceph-osd prefix. In this example, the deployment name is rook-ceph-osd-0.

    Example output:

    deployment.extensions/rook-ceph-osd-0 scaled
  3. Verify that the rook-ceph-osd pod is terminated.

    # oc get -n openshift-storage pods -l ceph-osd-id=${osd_id_to_remove}

    Example output:

    No resources found.
    Note

    If the rook-ceph-osd pod is in terminating state, use the force option to delete the pod.

    # oc delete pod rook-ceph-osd-0-6d77d6c7c6-m8xj6 --force --grace-period=0

    Example output:

    warning: Immediate deletion does not wait for confirmation that the running resource has been terminated. The resource may continue to run on the cluster indefinitely.
      pod "rook-ceph-osd-0-6d77d6c7c6-m8xj6" force deleted
  4. Remove the old OSD from the cluster so that a new OSD can be added.

    # oc process -n openshift-storage ocs-osd-removal -p FAILED_OSD_ID=${osd_id_to_remove} | oc create -f -
    Warning

    This step results in OSD being completely removed from the cluster. Make sure that the correct value of osd_id_to_remove is provided.

  5. Verify that the OSD is removed successfully by checking the status of the ocs-osd-removal pod. A status of Completed confirms that the OSD removal job succeeded.

    # oc get pod -l job-name=ocs-osd-removal-${osd_id_to_remove} -n openshift-storage
    Note

    If ocs-osd-removal fails and the pod is not in the expected Completed state, check the pod logs for further debugging. For example:

    # oc logs -l job-name=ocs-osd-removal-${osd_id_to_remove} -n openshift-storage --tail=-1
  6. Delete the PVC resources associated with the OSD to be replaced.

    1. Identify the DeviceSet associated with the OSD to be replaced.

      # oc get -n openshift-storage -o yaml deployment rook-ceph-osd-${osd_id_to_remove} | grep ceph.rook.io/pvc

      Example output:

      ceph.rook.io/pvc: ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68
          ceph.rook.io/pvc: ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68

      In this example, the PVC name is ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68.

    2. Identify the PV associated with the PVC.

      # oc get -n openshift-storage pvc ocs-deviceset-<x>-<y>-<pvc-suffix>

      where, x, y, and pvc-suffix are the values in the DeviceSet identified in the previous step.

      Example output:

      NAME                      STATUS   VOLUME                                     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS   AGE
      ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68   Bound    pvc-0e621d45-7d18-4d35-a282-9700c3cc8524   512Gi      RWO            thin           24h

      In this example, the PVC is ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68 that is identified in the previous step and associated PV is pvc-0e621d45-7d18-4d35-a282-9700c3cc8524.

    3. Identify the prepare-pod associated with the OSD to be replaced. Use the PVC name obtained in an earlier step.

      # oc describe -n openshift-storage pvc ocs-deviceset-<x>-<y>-<pvc-suffix> | grep Mounted

      where, x, y, and pvc-suffix are the values in the DeviceSet identified in an earlier step.

      Example output:

      Mounted By:    rook-ceph-osd-prepare-ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68-zblp7
    4. Delete the osd-prepare pod before removing the associated PVC.

      # oc delete -n openshift-storage pod rook-ceph-osd-prepare-ocs-deviceset-<x>-<y>-<pvc-suffix>-<pod-suffix>

      where, x, y, pvc-suffix, and pod-suffix are the values in the osd-prepare pod name identified in the previous step.

      Example output:

      pod "rook-ceph-osd-prepare-ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68-zblp7" deleted
    5. Delete the PVC associated with the device.

      # oc delete -n openshift-storage pvc ocs-deviceset-<x>-<y>-<pvc-suffix>

      where, x, y, and pvc-suffix are the values in the DeviceSet identified in an earlier step.

      Example output:

      persistentvolumeclaim "ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68" deleted
  7. Create new OSD for new device.

    1. Delete the deployment for the OSD to be replaced.

      # oc delete -n openshift-storage deployment rook-ceph-osd-${osd_id_to_remove}

      Example output:

      deployment.extensions/rook-ceph-osd-0 deleted
    2. Verify that the PV for the device identified in an earlier step is deleted.

      # oc get -n openshift-storage pv pvc-0e621d45-7d18-4d35-a282-9700c3cc8524

      Example output:

      Error from server (NotFound): persistentvolumes "pvc-0e621d45-7d18-4d35-a282-9700c3cc8524" not found

      In this example, the PV name is pvc-0e621d45-7d18-4d35-a282-9700c3cc8524.

      • If the PV still exists, delete the PV associated with the device.

        # oc delete pv pvc-0e621d45-7d18-4d35-a282-9700c3cc8524

        Example output:

        persistentvolume "pvc-0e621d45-7d18-4d35-a282-9700c3cc8524" deleted

        In this example, the PV name is pvc-0e621d45-7d18-4d35-a282-9700c3cc8524.

    3. Deploy the new OSD by restarting the rook-ceph-operator to force operator reconciliation.

      1. Identify the name of the rook-ceph-operator.

        # oc get -n openshift-storage pod -l app=rook-ceph-operator

        Example output:

        NAME                                  READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
        rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-2d982   1/1     Running   0          1d20h
      2. Delete the rook-ceph-operator.

        # oc delete -n openshift-storage pod rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-2d982

        Example output:

        pod "rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-2d982" deleted

        In this example, the rook-ceph-operator pod name is rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-2d982.

      3. Verify that the rook-ceph-operator pod is restarted.

        # oc get -n openshift-storage pod -l app=rook-ceph-operator

        Example output:

        NAME                                  READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
        rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-7mvrq   1/1     Running   0          66s

        Creation of the new OSD may take several minutes after the operator restarts.

  8. Delete the ocs-osd-removal job.

    # oc delete job ocs-osd-removal-${osd_id_to_remove}

    Example output:

    job.batch "ocs-osd-removal-0" deleted

Verfication steps

  • Verify that there is a new OSD running and a new PVC created.

    # oc get -n openshift-storage pods -l app=rook-ceph-osd

    Example output:

    rook-ceph-osd-0-5f7f4747d4-snshw                                  1/1     Running     0          4m47s
    rook-ceph-osd-1-85d99fb95f-2svc7                                  1/1     Running     0          1d20h
    rook-ceph-osd-2-6c66cdb977-jp542                                  1/1     Running     0          1d20h
    # oc get -n openshift-storage pvc

    Example output:

    NAME                      STATUS   VOLUME                                     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS    AGE

    Figure 10.1. OSD status in OpenShift Container Platform storage dashboard after device replacement

    OCP storage dashboard showing the healthy OSD.

10.3. OpenShift Container Storage deployed using local storage devices

10.3.1. Replacing failed storage devices on Amazon EC2 infrastructure

When you need to replace a storage device on an Amazon EC2 (storage-optimized I3) infrastructure, you must replace the storage node. For information about how to replace nodes, see Replacing failed storage nodes on Amazon EC2 infrastructure.

10.3.2. Replacing operational or failed storage devices on VMware and bare metal infrastructures

You can replace an object storage device (OSD) in OpenShift Container Storage deployed using local storage devices on bare metal and VMware infrastructures. Use this procedure when an underlying storage device needs to be replaced.

Procedure

  1. Identify the OSD that needs to be replaced and the OpenShift Container Platform node that has the OSD scheduled on it.

    # oc get -n openshift-storage pods -l app=rook-ceph-osd -o wide

    Example output:

    rook-ceph-osd-0-6d77d6c7c6-m8xj6    0/1    CrashLoopBackOff    0    24h   10.129.0.16   compute-2   <none>           <none>
    rook-ceph-osd-1-85d99fb95f-2svc7    1/1    Running    0    24h   10.128.2.24   compute-0   <none>           <none>
    rook-ceph-osd-2-6c66cdb977-jp542    1/1    Running    0    24h   10.130.0.18   compute-1   <none>           <none>

    In this example, rook-ceph-osd-0-6d77d6c7c6-m8xj6 needs to be replaced and compute-2 is the OCP node on which the OSD is scheduled.

    Note

    If the OSD to be replaced is healthy, the status of the pod will be Running.

  2. Scale down the OSD deployment for the OSD to be replaced.

    # osd_id_to_remove=0
    # oc scale -n openshift-storage deployment rook-ceph-osd-${osd_id_to_remove} --replicas=0

    where osd_id_to_remove is the integer in the pod name immediately after the rook-ceph-osd prefix. In this example, the deployment name is rook-ceph-osd-0.

    Example output:

    deployment.extensions/rook-ceph-osd-0 scaled
  3. Verify that the rook-ceph-osd pod is terminated.

    # oc get -n openshift-storage pods -l ceph-osd-id=${osd_id_to_remove}

    Example output:

    No resources found in openshift-storage namespace.
    Note

    If the rook-ceph-osd pod is in terminating state, use the force option to delete the pod.

    # oc delete pod rook-ceph-osd-0-6d77d6c7c6-m8xj6 --grace-period=0 --force

    Example output:

    warning: Immediate deletion does not wait for confirmation that the running resource has been terminated. The resource may continue to run on the cluster indefinitely.
      pod "rook-ceph-osd-0-6d77d6c7c6-m8xj6" force deleted
  4. Remove the old OSD from the cluster so that a new OSD can be added.

    1. Delete any old ocs-osd-removal jobs.

      # oc delete job ocs-osd-removal-${osd_id_to_remove}

      Example output:

      job.batch "ocs-osd-removal-0" deleted
    2. Remove the old OSD from the cluster

      # oc process -n openshift-storage ocs-osd-removal -p FAILED_OSD_ID=${osd_id_to_remove} | oc create -f -
      Warning

      This step results in OSD being completely removed from the cluster. Make sure that the correct value of osd_id_to_remove is provided.

  5. Verify that the OSD is removed successfully by checking the status of the ocs-osd-removal pod. A status of Completed confirms that the OSD removal job succeeded.

    # oc get pod -l job-name=ocs-osd-removal-${osd_id_to_remove} -n openshift-storage
    Note

    If ocs-osd-removal fails and the pod is not in the expected Completed state, check the pod logs for further debugging. For example:

    # oc logs -l job-name=ocs-osd-removal-${osd_id_to_remove} -n openshift-storage --tail=-1
  6. Delete the Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) resources associated with the OSD to be replaced.

    1. Identify the DeviceSet associated with the OSD to be replaced.

      # oc get -n openshift-storage -o yaml deployment rook-ceph-osd-${osd_id_to_remove} | grep ceph.rook.io/pvc

      Example output:

      ceph.rook.io/pvc: ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68
          ceph.rook.io/pvc: ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68

      In this example, the PVC name is ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68.

    2. Identify the PV associated with the PVC.

      # oc get -n openshift-storage pvc ocs-deviceset-<x>-<y>-<pvc-suffix>

      where, x, y, and pvc-suffix are the values in the DeviceSet identified in an earlier step.

      Example output:

      NAME                      STATUS        VOLUME        CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS   AGE
      ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68   Bound   local-pv-d9c5cbd6   1490Gi     RWO            localblock     24h

      In this example, the associated PV is local-pv-d9c5cbd6.

    3. Identify the name of the device to be replaced.

      # oc get pv local-pv-<pv-suffix> -o yaml | grep path

      where, pv-suffix is the value in the PV name identified in an earlier step.

      Example output:

      path: /mnt/local-storage/localblock/nvme0n1

      In this example, the device name is nvme0n1.

    4. Identify the prepare-pod associated with the OSD to be replaced.

      # oc describe -n openshift-storage pvc ocs-deviceset-<x>-<y>-<pvc-suffix> | grep Mounted

      where, x, y, and pvc-suffix are the values in the DeviceSet identified in an earlier step.

      Example output:

      Mounted By:    rook-ceph-osd-prepare-ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68-zblp7

      In this example the prepare-pod name is rook-ceph-osd-prepare-ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68-zblp7.

    5. Delete the osd-prepare pod before removing the associated PVC.

      # oc delete -n openshift-storage pod rook-ceph-osd-prepare-ocs-deviceset-<x>-<y>-<pvc-suffix>-<pod-suffix>

      where, x, y, pvc-suffix, and pod-suffix are the values in the osd-prepare pod name identified in an earlier step.

      Example output:

      pod "rook-ceph-osd-prepare-ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68-zblp7" deleted
    6. Delete the PVC associated with the OSD to be replaced.

      # oc delete -n openshift-storage pvc ocs-deviceset-<x>-<y>-<pvc-suffix>

      where, x, y, and pvc-suffix are the values in the DeviceSet identified in an earlier step.

      Example output:

      persistentvolumeclaim "ocs-deviceset-0-0-nvs68" deleted
  7. Replace the old device and use the new device to create a new OpenShift Container Platform PV.

    1. Log in to OpenShift Container Platform node with the device to be replaced. In this example, the OpenShift Container Platform node is compute-2.

      # oc debug node/compute-2

      Example output:

      Starting pod/compute-2-debug ...
      To use host binaries, run `chroot /host`
      Pod IP: 10.70.56.66
      If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.
      # chroot /host
    2. Record the /dev/disk/by-id/{id} that is to be replaced using the device name, nvme0n1, identified earlier.

      # ls -alh /mnt/local-storage/localblock

      Example output:

      total 0
      drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 51 Aug 18 19:05 .
      drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 24 Aug 18 19:05 ..
      lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 57 Aug 18 19:05 nvme0n1 -> /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.01000000010000005cd2e4de2f0f5251
    3. Find the name of the LocalVolume CR, and remove or comment out the device /dev/disk/by-id/{id} that is to be replaced.

      # oc get -n local-storage localvolume
      NAME          AGE
      local-block   25h
      # oc edit -n local-storage localvolume local-block

      Example output:

      [...]
          storageClassDevices:
          - devicePaths:
            - /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.01000000010000005cd2e4895e0e5251
            - /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.01000000010000005cd2e4ea2f0f5251
        #   - /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.01000000010000005cd2e4de2f0f5251
            storageClassName: localblock
            volumeMode: Block
      [...]

      Make sure to save the changes after editing the CR.

  8. Log in to OpenShift Container Platform node with the device to be replaced and remove the old symlink.

    # oc debug node/compute-2

    Example output:

    Starting pod/compute-2-debug ...
    To use host binaries, run `chroot /host`
    Pod IP: 10.70.56.66
    If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.
    # chroot /host
    1. Identify the old symlink for the device name to be replaced. In this example, the device name is nvme0n1.

      # ls -alh /mnt/local-storage/localblock

      Example output:

      total 0
      drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 51 Aug 18 19:05 .
      drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 24 Aug 18 19:05 ..
      lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 57 Aug 18 19:05 nvme0n1 -> /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.01000000010000005cd2e4de2f0f5251
    2. Remove the symlink.

      # rm /mnt/local-storage/localblock/nvme0n1
    3. Verify that the symlink is removed.

      # ls -alh /mnt/local-storage/localblock

      Example output:

      total 0
      drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 17 Apr 10 00:56 .
      drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 24 Apr  8 23:03 ..
      Important

      For new deployments of OpenShift Container Storage 4.5 or later, LVM is not in use, ceph-volume raw mode is in play instead. Therefore, additional validation is not needed and you can proceed to the next step.

      For OpenShift Container Storage 4.4, or if OpenShift Container Storage has been upgraded to version 4.5 from a prior version, then both /dev/mapper and /dev/ should be checked to see if there are orphans related to ceph before moving on. Use the results of vgdisplay to find these orphans. If there is anything in /dev/mapper or /dev/ceph-* with ceph in the name that is not from the list of VG Names, use dmsetup to remove it.

  9. Delete the PV associated with the device to be replaced, which was identified in earlier steps. In this example, the PV name is local-pv-d9c5cbd6.

    # oc delete pv local-pv-d9c5cbd6

    Example output:

    persistentvolume "local-pv-d9c5cbd6" deleted
  10. Replace the device with the new device.
  11. Log back into the correct OpenShift Container Platform node and identify the device name for the new drive. The device name can be the same as the old device, but the by-id must change unless you are reseating the same device.

    # lsblk

    Example output:

    NAME                         MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
    sda                            8:0    0   120G  0 disk
    |-sda1                         8:1    0   384M  0 part /boot
    |-sda2                         8:2    0   127M  0 part /boot/efi
    |-sda3                         8:3    0     1M  0 part
    `-sda4                         8:4    0 119.5G  0 part
      `-coreos-luks-root-nocrypt 253:0    0 119.5G  0 dm   /sysroot
    nvme0n1                      259:0    0   1.5T  0 disk

    In this example, the new device name is nvme0n1.

    1. Identify the /dev/disk/by-id/{id} for the new device and record it.

      # ls -alh /dev/disk/by-id | grep nvme0n1

      Example output:

      lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 57 Aug 18 19:05 nvme0n1 -> /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.01000000010000005cd2e4ce090e5251
  12. After the new /dev/disk/by-id/{id} is available a new disk entry can be added to the LocalVolume CR.

    1. Find the name of the LocalVolume CR.

      # oc get -n local-storage localvolume
      NAME          AGE
      local-block   25h
    2. Edit LocalVolume CR and add the new /dev/disk/by-id/{id}. In this example the new device is /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.01000000010000005cd2e4ce090e5251.

      # oc edit -n local-storage localvolume local-block

      Example output:

      [...]
          storageClassDevices:
          - devicePaths:
            - /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.01000000010000005cd2e4895e0e5251
            - /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.01000000010000005cd2e4ea2f0f5251
        #   - /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.01000000010000005cd2e4de2f0f5251
            - /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.01000000010000005cd2e4ce090e5251
            storageClassName: localblock
            volumeMode: Block
      [...]

      Make sure to save the changes after editing the CR.

  13. Verify that there is a new PV in Available state and of the correct size.

    # oc get pv | grep 1490Gi

    Example output:

    local-pv-3e8964d3                          1490Gi      RWO            Delete           Bound       openshift-storage/ocs-deviceset-2-0-79j94   localblock                             25h
    local-pv-414755e0                          1490Gi      RWO            Delete           Bound       openshift-storage/ocs-deviceset-1-0-959rp   localblock                             25h
    local-pv-b481410                           1490Gi      RWO            Delete           Available
  14. Create new OSD for new device.

    1. Delete the deployment for the OSD to be replaced.

      # osd_id_to_remove=0
      # oc delete -n openshift-storage deployment rook-ceph-osd-${osd_id_to_remove}

      Example output:

      deployment.extensions/rook-ceph-osd-0 deleted
    2. Deploy the new OSD by restarting the rook-ceph-operator to force operator reconciliation.

      1. Identify the name of the rook-ceph-operator.

        # oc get -n openshift-storage pod -l app=rook-ceph-operator

        Example output:

        NAME                                  READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
        rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-2d982   1/1     Running   0          1d20h
      2. Delete the rook-ceph-operator.

        # oc delete -n openshift-storage pod rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-2d982

        Example output:

        pod "rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-2d982" deleted

        In this example, the rook-ceph-operator pod name is rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-2d982.

      3. Verify that the rook-ceph-operator pod is restarted.

        # oc get -n openshift-storage pod -l app=rook-ceph-operator

        Example output:

        NAME                                  READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
        rook-ceph-operator-6f74fb5bff-7mvrq   1/1     Running   0          66s

        Creation of the new OSD may take several minutes after the operator restarts.

Verfication steps

  • Verify that there is a new OSD running and a new PVC created.

    # oc get -n openshift-storage pods -l app=rook-ceph-osd

    Example output:

    rook-ceph-osd-0-5f7f4747d4-snshw                                  1/1     Running     0          4m47s

Chapter 11. Updating OpenShift Container Storage

To update your cluster, you must first update Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, and then, update Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage. It is recommended to use the same version of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform with Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage. Refer to this Red Hat Knowledgebase article for a complete OpenShift Container Platform and OpenShift Container Storage supportability and compatibility matrix.

For updating Local Storage Operator:

  • The Local Storage Operator version must match with the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform version in order to have the Local Storage Operator fully supported with Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage.
  • Local Storage Operator does not get updated when Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is updated. To check if your OpenShift Container Storage cluster uses the Local Storage Operator, see the Checking for Local Storage Operator deployments section of the Troubleshooting Guide.

You can update OpenShift Container Storage in:

Note

The update procedure is the same for proxy environment.

11.1. Updating OpenShift Container Storage in internal mode

11.3. Preparing to update in a disconnected environment

When your Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage environment is not directly connected to the internet, some additional configuration is required to provide the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) with alternatives to the default Operator Hub and image registries.

See the OpenShift Container Platform documentation for more general information: Updating an Operator catalog image.

To configure your cluster for disconnected update:

When these steps are complete, Continue with update as usual.

11.3.1. Adding mirror registry authentication details

Prerequisites

  • Verify that your existing disconnected cluster uses OpenShift Container Platform 4.3 or higher.
  • Verify that you have an oc client version of 4.4 or higher.
  • Prepare a mirror host with a mirror registry. See Preparing your mirror host for details.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the OpenShift Container Platform cluster using the cluster-admin role.
  2. Locate your auth.json file.

    This file is generated when you use podman or docker to log in to a registry. It is located in one of the following locations:

    • ~/.docker/auth.json
    • /run/user/<UID>/containers/auth.json
    • /var/run/containers/<UID>/auth.json
  3. Obtain your unique Red Hat registry pull secret and paste it into your auth.json file. It will look something like this.

    {
        "auths": {
            "cloud.openshift.com": {
                "auth": "*****************",
                "email": "user@example.com"
            },
            "quay.io": {
                "auth": "*****************",
                "email": "user@example.com"
            },
            "registry.connect.redhat.com": {
                "auth": "*****************",
                "email": "user@example.com"
            },
            "registry.redhat.io": {
                "auth": "*****************",
                "email": "user@example.com"
            }
        }
      }
  4. Export environment variables with the appropriate details for your setup.

    $ export AUTH_FILE="<location_of_auth.json>"
    $ export MIRROR_REGISTRY_DNS="<your_registry_url>:<port>"
  5. Use podman to log in to the mirror registry and store the credentials in the ${AUTH_FILE}.

    $ podman login ${MIRROR_REGISTRY_DNS} --tls-verify=false --authfile ${AUTH_FILE}

    This adds the mirror registry to the auth.json file.

    {
        "auths": {
            "cloud.openshift.com": {
                "auth": "*****************",
                "email": "user@example.com"
            },
            "quay.io": {
                "auth": "*****************",
                "email": "user@example.com"
            },
            "registry.connect.redhat.com": {
                "auth": "*****************",
                "email": "user@example.com"
            },
            "registry.redhat.io": {
                "auth": "*****************",
                "email": "user@example.com"
            },
            "<mirror_registry>": {
                "auth": "*****************",
            }
        }
      }

11.3.2. Building and mirroring the Red Hat operator catalog

Follow this process on a host that has access to Red Hat registries to create a mirror of those registries.

Prerequisites

  • Run these commands as a cluster administrator.
  • Be aware that mirroring the redhat-operator catalog can take hours to complete, and requires substantial available disk space on the mirror host.

Procedure

  1. Build the catalog for redhat-operators.

    Set --from to the ose-operator-registry base image using the tag that matches the target OpenShift Container Platform cluster major and minor version.

    $ oc adm catalog build --appregistry-org redhat-operators \
      --from=registry.redhat.io/openshift4/ose-operator-registry:v4.5 \
      --to=${MIRROR_REGISTRY_DNS}/olm/redhat-operators:v2 \
      --registry-config=${AUTH_FILE} \
      --filter-by-os="linux/amd64" --insecure
  2. Mirror the catalog for redhat-operators.

    This is a long operation and can take 1-5 hours. Make sure there is 100 GB available disk space on the mirror host.

    $ oc adm catalog mirror ${MIRROR_REGISTRY_DNS}/olm/redhat-operators:v2 \
    ${MIRROR_REGISTRY_DNS} --registry-config=${AUTH_FILE} --insecure

11.3.3. Creating Operator imageContentSourcePolicy

After the oc adm catalog mirror command is completed, the imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml file gets created. The output directory for this file is usually, ./[catalog image name]-manifests). Use this procedure to add any missing entries to the .yaml file and apply them to cluster.

Procedure

  1. Check the content of this file for the mirrors mapping shown as follows:

    spec:
      repositoryDigestMirrors:
        - mirrors:
          - <your_registry>/ocs4
          source: registry.redhat.io/ocs4
        - mirrors:
          - <your_registry>/rhceph
          source: registry.redhat.io/rhceph
        - mirrors:
          - <your_registry>/openshift4
          source: registry.redhat.io/openshift4
        - mirrors:
          - <your_registry>/rhscl
          source: registry.redhat.io/rhscl
  2. Add any missing entries to the end of the imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml file.
  3. Apply the imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml file to the cluster.

    $ oc apply -f ./[output dir]/imageContentSourcePolicy.yaml

    Once the Image Content Source Policy is updated, all the nodes (master, infra, and workers) in the cluster need to be updated and rebooted. This process is automatically handled through the Machine Config Pool operator and take up to 30 minutes although the exact elapsed time might vary based on the number of nodes in your OpenShift cluster. You can monitor the update process by using the oc get mcp command or the oc get node command.

11.3.4. Updating redhat-operator CatalogSource

Procedure

  1. Recreate a CatalogSource object that references the catalog image for Red Hat operators.

    Note

    Make sure you have mirrored the correct catalog source with the correct version (that is, v2).

+ Save the following in a redhat-operator-catalogsource.yaml file, remembering to replace <your_registry> with your mirror registry URL:

+

apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: CatalogSource
metadata:
  name: redhat-operators

  1. Create a catalogsource using the redhat-operator-catalogsource.yaml file:

    $ oc apply -f redhat-operator-catalogsource.yaml
  2. Verify that the new redhat-operator pod is running.

    $ oc get pod -n openshift-marketplace | grep redhat-operators

11.3.5. Continue to update

After your alternative catalog source is configured, you can continue to the appropriate update process:
