Hi everyone I'm new to CEPH, just a french 4 days training session with Octopus on VMs that convince me to build my first cluster. At this time I have 4 old identical nodes for testing with 3 HDDs each, 2 network interfaces and running Alma Linux8 (el8). I try to replay the training session but it fails, breaking the web interface because of some problems with podman 4.2 not compatible with Octopus. So I try to deploy Pacific with cephadm tool on my first node (mostha1) (to enable testing also an upgrade later). dnf -y install https://download.ceph.com/rpm-16.2.13/el8/noarch/cephadm-16.2.13-0.el8.noarc... monip=$(getent ahostsv4 mostha1 |head -n 1| awk '{ print $1 }') cephadm bootstrap --mon-ip $monip --initial-dashboard-password xxxxx \ --initial-dashboard-user admceph \ --allow-fqdn-hostname --cluster-network 10.1.0.0/16 This was sucessfull. But running "*c**eph orch device ls*" do not show any HDD even if I have /dev/sda (used by the OS), /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc The web interface shows a row capacity which is an aggregate of the sizes of the 3 HDDs for the node. I've also tried to reset /dev/sdb but cephadm do not see it: [ceph: root@mostha1 /]# ceph orch device zap mostha1.legi.grenoble-inp.fr /dev/sdb --force Error EINVAL: Device path '/dev/sdb' not found on host 'mostha1.legi.grenoble-inp.fr' On my first attempt with octopus, I was able to list the available HDD with this command line. Before moving to Pacific, the OS on this node has been reinstalled from scratch. Any advices for a CEPH beginner ? Thanks Patrick
