Thanks. You mean directly running ‘ceph-volume lvm create’ on target host (not inside any container like what ‘ceph orch’ does), right? And I finally found a hack way to run my OSD in a container. 1. ceph orch daemon add osd host:/dev/sdX 2. On target host, stop the just created OSD service. 3. ‘ceph osd destroy’ the just created osd. 4. On target host, run ‘cephadm shell’ * ceph-volume lvm zap —destroy /dev/sdX * ceph-volume lvm prepare —data /dev/sdX —block.db vg/lv —osd-id x —osd-fsid xxxx —no-systemd This replaced the auto created OSD with my desired config and reuse the previous ID and fsid. 5. On target host, restart the OSD service. I think the OSD created in this way fits better into other ‘ceph orch’ operations. Any advice on this?

I finally found out how to create a single OSD manually with ceph-volume, cephadm, but without create, destroy and recreate the OSD. The point is that ceph-volume does not understand container. It will create the systemd unit in the container which will not work. I need to use cephadm to create the systemd unit outside the container, which will invoke docker/podman. To help other people, here is the step-by-step instructions: 1. Copy the output “ceph config generate-minimal-conf” to /etc/ceph/ceph.conf on the host you want to deploy new OSDs. 2. Run “cephadm shell -m /var/lib/ceph” on OSD host. This will mount /var/lib/ceph on the host to /mnt/ceph in the container. Now you are in a shell in the container. 3. Copy the output of “ceph auth export client.bootstrap-osd” to /var/lib/ceph/bootstrap-osd/ceph.keyring in the container. 4. Run “ceph-volume prepare --no-systemd” and add any arguments you want, like --data, --block.db 5. Run “cp -r /var/lib/ceph/osd /mnt/ceph/”. This will preserve files created by ceph-volume after the container terminates. 6. Exit the shell in the container. 7. Run “cephadm --image ceph/ceph:v15.2.6 adopt --style legacy --name osd.X” (replace with your ceph version and osd ID) 8. Finally, Run “systemctl start ceph-<fsid>@osd.X.service” to start the OSD daemon. Thank you for all your helps. Although without destroying and recreating, this procedure is still too complicated. I understand that manually deploy a single OSD is not very common, especially in large scale deployment. But our deployment is tiny. We reuse existing servers, and every host has different disk layout. If “ceph orch daemon add osd host:/dev/sdX” command allow us to pass arbitrary additional arguments to “ceph-volume”, it would be a lot more convenient. 发件人: Eugen Block<mailto:eblock@nde.ag> 发送时间: 2020年10月3日 1:18 收件人: 胡 玮文<mailto:huww98@outlook.com> 抄送: ceph-users@ceph.io<mailto:ceph-users@ceph.io> 主题: Re: How to create single OSD with SSD db device with cephadm Doing it in the container seems the right way and you also seem to get it running. I didn’t have the time to dig into cephadm yet, so my knowledge is too limited at this point. But I think you could skip the creation and wiping and just run the create command within the container.

You'll have to run something like

ceph-volume lvm create --data /dev/sdX --block.db {VG/LV}

Note that for block.db you'll need to provide the volume-goup/logical volume, not the device path.
