The basic installation and configuration is complete. Depending on your setup, some of the following steps are required to start using Ceph:

1. Install Ceph on other nodes
2. Create additional Ceph Monitors
3. Create Ceph OSDs
4. Create Ceph Pools

Manual Install from Command Line

Deploy Hyper-Converged Ceph Cluster - Proxmox VE
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Deploy_Hyper-Converged_Ceph_Cluster

--

echo "deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ceph-reef bookworm no-subscription" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list
apt update
apt install ceph

OR

pveceph install
  This will install Ceph Quincy

# 18.2.2-pve1

Install Ceph on dedicated network:

pveceph init --network 10.10.10.0/24

Create Monitors (MON): (for HA at least 3.)

pveceph mon create

Create Managers (MGR): (at least 1 - only 1 active rest are standby)

pveceph mgr create

Create LVM OSDs:

• See #Ceph on LVM

pveceph osd create /dev/sd[X]

Bluestore: (default after Ceph Luminous release)
pveceph osd create /dev/sd[X]

note: If the disk was in use before (for example, for ZFS or as an OSD) you first need to zap all traces of that usage.
ceph-volume lvm zap /dev/sd[X] --destroy

Create Pool:

# pveceph pool create NAME
pveceph pool create CEPH
pveceph pool create CEPH -pg_autoscale_mode on
pveceph pool create CEPH -pg_autoscale_mode on  --add_storages
  # -pg_autoscale_mode <off|on|warn> warn is default

pool CEPH: applying size = 3
pool CEPH: applying application = rbd
pool CEPH: applying min_size = 2
pool CEPH: applying pg_autoscale_mode = warn
pool CEPH: applying pg_num = 128

Edit Pool:

pveceph pool set CEPH -pg_autoscale_mode on

Create Storage on top of pool:

pvesm add rbd CEPH --pool CEPH --content images
  --monhost "10.1.1.20 10.1.1.21 10.1.1.22" ???
  --keyring /root/rbd.keyring ???  /etc/pve/priv/ceph/<STORAGE_ID>.conf ???

note: maybe best to do this one from the GUI?

-- file store - if you want --

Create Metadata Server (MDS): (need at least 1)

pveceph mds create

Create CephFS

pveceph fs create -name CEPHFS -add-storage

pveceph init options:

USAGE: pveceph init  [OPTIONS]

  Create initial ceph default configuration and setup symlinks.

  -cluster-network <string>
             Declare a separate cluster network, OSDs will routeheartbeat,
             object replication and recovery traffic over it

             Requires option(s): network

  -disable_cephx <boolean>   (default=0)
             Disable cephx authentication.

             WARNING: cephx is a security feature protecting against
             man-in-the-middle attacks. Only consider disabling cephx if
             your network is private!

  -min_size  <integer> (1 - 7)   (default=2)
             Minimum number of available replicas per object to allow I/O

  -network   <string>
             Use specific network for all ceph related traffic

  -pg_bits   <integer> (6 - 14)   (default=6)
             Placement group bits, used to specify the default number of
             placement groups.

             Depreacted. This setting was deprecated in recent Ceph
             versions.

  -size      <integer> (1 - 7)   (default=3)
             Targeted number of replicas per object

Ceph on LVM

Remove local-lvm:

pvesm remove local-lvm
lvremove /dev/pve/data

bootstrap auth:

ceph auth get client.bootstrap-osd > /var/lib/ceph/bootstrap-osd/ceph.keyring

Create new logical volume with the remaining free space:

lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n pve/ceph

Create (= prepare and activate) the logical volume for OSD:

ceph-volume lvm create --data pve/ceph

Use GUI to create Metadata servers, create CephFS, etc

Ref: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/ceph-osd-on-lvm-logical-volume.68618/

Undo local-lvm

to undo the removal of local-lvm:

# lvcreate -l99%FREE -n newLvName newVgName
# lvconvert --type thin newVgName/newLvName

pvesm status
pvesm add lvmthin local-lvm --thinpool data --vgname pve

OSD Service Stopped

In "ceph osd df tree" (or web ui) the "up"/"down" is controled by the "service". The "in"/"out" is controlled by ceph. To start/stop the service: (you can also start/stop the service from Proxmox web interface)

$ sudo systemctl status ceph-osd.target
- ceph-osd.target - ceph target allowing to start/stop all ceph-osd@.service instances at once
    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ceph-osd.target; enabled; preset: enabled)
    Active: active since Sat 2024-09-07 21:50:39 MDT; 1min 16s ago

$ sudo systemctl status ceph-osd.target

$ sudo systemctl stop ceph-osd.target

$ sudo systemctl start ceph-osd.target

$ sudo systemctl restart ceph-osd.target

Verify Auth

ceph auth ls

Issues

ceph auth get client.bootstrap-osd - Error initializing cluster client

Error:

# ceph auth get client.bootstrap-osd
