Ceph Ansible baremetal deployment
How many times you tried to install Ceph? How many fails with no reason?
All Ceph operator should agree with me when i say that Ceph installer doesn't really works as expected so far.
Yes, i'm talking about ceph-deploy and the main reason why i'm posting this guide about deploying Ceph with Ansible.
At this post, i will show how to install a Ceph cluster with Ansible on baremetal servers.
My configuration is as follows:
3 x ceph monitors 8GB of RAM each one
3 x OSD nodes 16GB of RAM and 3x100 GB of Disk
1 x RadosGateway node 8GB of RAM
First, download Ceph-Ansible playbooks
git clone https://github.com/ceph/ceph-ansible/
Cloning into 'ceph-ansible'...

Checking connectivity... done.Move to the newly created folder called ceph-ansible
cd ceph-ansible/Copy sample vars files, we will configure our environment in these variable files.
cp site.yml.sample site.yml
cp group_vars/all.sample group_vars/all
cp group_vars/mons.sample group_vars/mons
cp group_vars/osds.sample group_vars/osdsNext step is configure the inventory with our servers, i don\'t really like use /etc/ansible/host file, i prefer create a new file per environment inside playbook\'s folder.
Create a file with the following content, use you own IPs to match your servers on the desired role inside the cluster
[root@ansible ~]# vi inventory_hosts
[mons]
192.168.1.48
192.168.1.49
192.168.1.52
[osds]
192.168.1.50
192.168.1.53
192.168.1.54
[rgws]
192.168.1.55Test connectivity to you servers pinging them through Ansible ping module
[root@ansible ~]# ansible -m ping -i inventory_hosts all
192.168.1.48 | success >> {
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
192.168.1.50 | success >> {
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
192.168.1.55 | success >> {
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
192.168.1.53 | success >> {
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
192.168.1.49 | success >> {
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
192.168.1.54 | success >> {
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
192.168.1.52 | success >> {
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}Edit site.yml file, i will remove/comment mds nodes since i\'m not going to use them.
[root@ansible ~]# vi site.yml

[root@ansible ~]# vi group_vars/allHere we configure from where ceph packages are going to be installed, for now we use upstream code with the stable release Infernalis.
## Configure package origin
ceph_origin: upstream
ceph_stable: true
ceph_stable_release: infernalisConfigure interface on which monitor will be listening
## Monitor options
monitor_interface: eth2Here we configure some OSD options, like journal size and what networks will be used by public and cluster data replication
## OSD options
journal_size: 1024
public_network: 192.168.1.0/24
cluster_network: 192.168.200.0/24Edit osds variable file
[root@ansible ~]# vi group_vars/osdsI will use auto discovery option to allow ceph ansible select empy or not used devices in my servers to create OSDs.
# Declare devices
osd_auto_discovery: True
journal_collocation: True| Of course you can use other options, i\'ll highly suggest you to read variable comments, as they provide valuable information about usage. | We\'re ready to deploy ceph with ansible with our custom inventory_hosts file.
[root@ansible ~]# ansible-playbook site.yml -i inventory_hostsAfter a while, you will have a fully functional ceph cluster.
| Maybe you find some issues or bugs when running the playbooks. | There is a lot of efforts to fix issues on upstream repository. If a new bug is encountered, please, post a issue right here. | https://github.com/ceph/ceph-ansible/issues
You can check your cluster status with ceph -s. we can see all OSDs are up and pgs active/clean.
[root@ceph-mon1 ~]# ceph -s
