I would appreciate advice on the "best" way to manage adopted OSDs. This is a test squid 19.2.3 cluster, originally installed using centos 9 packages. I am testing the procedure for adopting, then will use cephadm to update to tentacle. Once I am happy with the whole process I will repeat on a small production cluster. I have successfully adopted mon, mgr, osd, rgw & mds as described in the docs. That left rgw & mds managed, but mon, mgr & osds unmanaged. Setting the mon & mgr services managed was easy by tweaking the yml and applying. But I am unclear how to best handle osds. That leaves me in this state: [root@c4 ~]# ceph orch ls NAME PORTS RUNNING REFRESHED AGE PLACEMENT mds.cephfs 2/2 51s ago 21h c1;c2 mgr 3/3 52s ago 21h c1;c2;c4 mon 3/3 51s ago 21h c1;c2;c3 osd 12 51s ago - <unmanaged> rgw.rgw ?:80 2/2 51s ago 21h c1;c2 The exported yml had the following for osds, which had to be commented out as it would not parse (missing placement, missing data_devices etc): service_type: osd service_name: osd unmanaged: true spec: filter_logic: AND objectstore: bluestore My questions are: * With the OSDs unmanaged, what functionality am I missing? In particular, things like using cephadm to replace a failed disk... * These are only small clusters, so I am happy to have the OSDs enumerated in the yml, and not have ceph try to find and automatically use available disks. Is it possible to have the full functionality except from automatically grabbing available disks? * How can I generate yml that reflects the current state of the OSDs? We currently have pools (per application) for NVMe, SSD, and HDD with shared NVMe DB/WAL. * I can't find documentation for transitioning OSDs from unmanaged to managed. Have I just overlooked it? * Is any part of this easier on tentacle than squid? If so I can upgrade the package squid to tentacle before adopting. (But unless there is a good reason, I would rather have familiarised myself with the cephadm upgrade process before starting any of this on the production cluster...) Many thanks for any insights.
