If you are using cephadm, couldn't the host be removed from placing osds? On my cluster, I labeled the hosts for each service (OSD/MON/MGR/...) and have the services deployed by label. I believe that if you had that, then when a label is removed from the host the services eventually drain. -----Original Message----- From: Frédéric Nass <frederic.nass@univ-lorraine.fr> Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2024 11:30 AM To: Eugen Block <eblock@nde.ag> Cc: ceph-users <ceph-users@ceph.io>; dev <dev@ceph.io> Subject: [ceph-users] Re: ceph orch host drain daemon type Hello Eugen, A month back, while playing with a lab cluster, I drained a multi-service host (OSDs, MGR, MON, etc.) in order to recreate all of its OSDs. During this operation, all cephadm containers were removed as expected, including the MGR. As a result, I got into a situation where the orchestrator backend 'cephadm' was missing and wouldn't load anymore. I didn't have much time to investigate this, so I decided to recreate the lab cluster. But I think this is due to a bug. I would probably have avoided this situation if I had been able to ask the orchestrator to only drain services of type 'osd'. Makes sense. Cheers, Frédéric. ----- Le 27 Aoû 24, à 15:19, Eugen Block eblock@nde.ag a écrit :
Hi,
is there anything on the road map to be able to choose a specific daemon type to be entirely removed from a host instead of all cephadm managed daemons? I just did a quick search in tracker and github, but it may be "hidden" somewhere else.
I was thinking about colocated daemons on a host, for example MON, MGR, OSDs, node-exporter, crash. That's quite common, but if I just wanted to drain all OSDs (maybe mark them as "destroyed" in order to replace the drives), the usual 'ceph orch host drain <host>' command would remove all daemons. That seems unnecessary if I'm going to add the OSDs back.
Since there are a couple of other daemon types which can be deployed multiple times per host, e. g. MDS, RGW, it doesn't only make sense for OSDs but for other daemons as well. And those other daemons usually have some cryptic suffix, we wouldn't need that in order to get rid of them, it doesn't save that much time, but it could be a nice enhancement.
Should I create a tracker issue in the enhancement section for that?
Thanks! Eugen _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@ceph.io To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@ceph.io
