Release Notes

The Cephadm-Ansible modules

The Cephadm-Ansible package provides several modules that wrap the new integrated control plane, cephadm, for those users that wish to manage their entire datacenter with Ansible. It does not intend to provide backward compatibility with Ceph-Ansible, but it aims to deliver a supported set of playbooks that customers can use to update their Ansible integration.

Bootstrap Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster is supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9

With this release, cephadm bootstrap is available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 hosts to enable Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.2 support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Users can now bootstrap a Ceph cluster on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 hosts.

cephadm rm-cluster command cleans up the old systemd unit files from host

Previously, the rm-cluster command would tear down the daemons without removing the systemd unit files.

cephadm raises health warnings if it fails to apply a specification

Previously, failures to apply a specification would only be reported as a service event which the users would often not check.

Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.2 supports staggered upgrade

Starting with Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.2, you can selectively upgrade large Ceph clusters in cephadm in multiple smaller steps.

fs.aio-max-nr is set to 1048576 on hosts with OSDs

Previously, leaving fs.aio-max-nr as the default value of 65536 on hosts managed by Cephadm could cause some OSDs to crash.

ceph orch rm <service-name> command informs users if the service they attempted to remove exists or not

Previously, removing a service would always return a successful message, even for non-existent services causing confusion among users.

A new playbook rocksdb-resharding.yml for resharding procedure is now available in cephadm-ansible

Previously, the rocksdb resharding procedure entailed tedious manual steps.

cephadm now supports deploying OSDs without an LVM layer

With this release, to support users who do not want a LVM layer for their OSDs, cephadm or ceph-volume support is provided for raw OSDs. You can include "method: raw" in an OSD specification file passed to Cephadm, to deploy OSDs in raw mode through Cephadm without the LVM layer.

Start, stop, restart, and redeploy actions can be performed on underlying daemons of services

Previously, orchestrator services could only be created, edited, and deleted. No action could be performed on the underlying daemons of the services

OSD page and landing page on the Ceph Dashboard displays different colours in the usage bar of OSDs

Previously, whenever an OSD would reach near full or full status, the cluster health would change to WARN or ERROR status, but from the landing page, there was no other sign of failure.

Dashboard displays onode hit or miss counters

With this release, the dashboard provides details pulled from the Bluestore stats, to display the onode hit or miss counters to help you deduce whether increasing the RAM per OSD could help improve the cluster performance.

Users can view the CPU and memory usage of a particular daemon

With this release, you can see CPU and memory usage of a particular daemon on the Red Hat Ceph Storage Dashboard under Cluster > Host> Daemons.

Improved Ceph Dashboard features for rbd-mirroring

With this release, the RBD Mirroring tab on the Ceph Dashboard is enhanced with the following features that were previously present only in the command-line interface (CLI):

User can now create OSDs in simple and advanced mode on the Red Hat Ceph Storage Dashboard

With this release, to simplify OSD deployment for the clusters with simpler deployment scenarios, “Simple” and “Advanced” modes for OSD Creation are introduced.

Ceph Dashboard Login page displays customizable text

Corporate users want to ensure that anyone accessing their system is acknowledged and is committed to comply with the legal/security terms.

Example

[ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph dashboard set-login-banner -i filename.yaml
[ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph dashboard get-login-banner
[ceph: root@host01 /]# ceph dashboard unset-login-banner

Major version number and internal Ceph version is displayed on the Ceph Dashboard

With this release, along with the major version number, the internal Ceph version is also displayed on the Ceph Dashboard, to help users relate Red Hat Ceph Storage downstream releases to Ceph internal versions. For example, Version: 16.2.9-98-gccaadd. Click the top navigation bar, click the question mark menu (?), and navigate to the About modal box to identify the Red Hat Ceph Storage release number and the corresponding Ceph version.

New capabilities are available for CephFS subvolumes in ODF configured in external mode

If CephFS in ODF is configured in external mode, users like to use volume/subvolume metadata to store some Openshift specific metadata information, such as the PVC/PV/namespace from the volumes/subvolumes.

Syntax

ceph fs subvolume metadata set VOLUME_NAME SUBVOLUME_NAME KEY_NAME VALUE [--group-name SUBVOLUME_GROUP_NAME]

Syntax

ceph fs subvolume metadata get VOLUME_NAME SUBVOLUME_NAME KEY_NAME [--group-name SUBVOLUME_GROUP_NAME ]

Syntax

ceph fs subvolume metadata ls VOLUME_NAME SUBVOLUME_NAME [--group-name SUBVOLUME_GROUP_NAME ]

Syntax

ceph fs subvolume metadata rm VOLUME_NAME SUBVOLUME_NAME KEY_NAME [--group-name SUBVOLUME_GROUP_NAME ] [--force]

Reason for clone failure shows up when using clone status command

Previously, whenever a clone failed, the only way to check the reason for failure was by looking into the logs.

Example

[ceph: root@host01 /]#  ceph fs clone status cephfs clone1
{
  "status": {
    "state": "failed",
    "source": {
      "volume": "cephfs",
      "subvolume": "subvol1",
      "snapshot": "snap1"
      "size": "104857600"
    },
    "failure": {
      "errno": "122",
      "errstr": "Disk quota exceeded"
    }
  }
}

CephFS NFS export can be dynamically updated using the ceph nfs export apply command

Previously, when updating a CephFS NFS export, the NFS-Ganesha servers were always restarted. This temporarily affected all the client connections served by the ganesha servers including those exports that were not updated.

Users need not manually wipe devices prior to redeploying OSDs

Previously, users were forced to manually wipe devices prior to redeploying OSDs.

Ceph Object Gateway can now be configured to direct its Ops Log to an ordinary Unix file.

With this release, Ceph Object Gateway can be configured to direct its Ops Log to an ordinary Unix file, as a file-based log is simpler to work with in some sites, when compared to a Unix domain socket. The content of the log file is identical to what would be sent to the Ops Log socket in the default configuration.

Use the radosgw lc process command to process a single bucket’s lifecycle

With this release, users can now use the radosgw-admin lc process command to process only a single bucket’s lifecycle from the command line interface by specifying its name --bucket or ID --bucket-id, as processing the lifecycle for a single bucket is convenient in many situations, such as debugging.

User identity information is added to the Ceph Object Gateway Ops Log output

With this release, user identity information is added to the Ops Log output to enable customers to access this information for auditing of S3 access. User identities can be reliably tracked by S3 request in all versions of the Ceph Object Gateway Ops Log.

Log levels for Ceph Object Gateway’s HTTP access logging can be controlled independently with debug_rgw_access parameter

With this release, log levels for Ceph Object Gateway’s HTTP access logging can be controlled independently with the debug_rgw_access parameter to provide users the ability to disable all Ceph Object Gateway logging such as debug_rgw=0 except for these HTTP access log lines.

Level 20 Ceph Object Gateway log messages are reduced when updating bucket indices

With this release, the Ceph Object Gateway level 20 log messages are reduced when updating bucket indices to remove messages that do not add value and to reduce size of logs.

current_time field is added to the output of several radosgw-admin commands

With this release, current_time field is added to several radosgw-admin commands, specifically sync status, bucket sync status, metadata sync status, data sync status, and bilog status.

Logging of HTTP client

Previously, Ceph Object Gateway was neither printing error bodies of HTTP responses nor was there a way to match the request to the response.

Read-only role for OpenStack Keystone is now available

The OpenStack Keystone service provides three roles: admin, member, and reader. In order to extend the role based access control (RBAC) capabilities to OpenStack, a new read-only Admin role can now be assigned to specific users in the Keystone service.

New version of grafana container provides security fixes and improved functionality

With this release, a new version of grafana container, rebased with grafana v8.3.5 is built, which provides security fixes and improved functionality.

MANY_OBJECTS_PER_PG warning is no longer reported when pg_autoscale_mode is set to on

Previously, Ceph health warning MANY_OBJECTS_PER_PG was reported in instances where pg_autoscale_mode was set to on with no distinction between the different modes that reported the health warning.

OSDs report the slow operations details in an aggregated format to the Ceph Manager service

Previously, slow requests would overwhelm a cluster log with too many details, filling up the monitor database.

Users can now blocklist a CIDR range

With this release, you can blocklist a CIDR range, in addition to individual client instances and IPs. In certain circumstances, you would want to blocklist all clients in an entire data center or rack instead of specifying individual clients to blocklist. For example, failing over a workload to a different set of machines and wanting to prevent the old workload instance from continuing to partially operate. This is now possible using a "blocklist range" analogous to the existing "blocklist" command.

A new Ansible playbook is now available for backup and restoring Ceph files

Previously, users had to manually backup and restore files when either upgrading the OS from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 or reprovisioning their machines, which was quite inconvenient especially in case of large cluster deployments.

Ceph Object Gateway technology preview support for S3 transparent encryption

With this release, Ceph Object Gateway provides technology preview support for S3 transparent encryption using SSE-S3 and S3 PutBucketEncryption APIs.

librbd plugin named persistent write log cache to reduce latency

With this release, the new librbd plugin named Persistent Write Log Cache (PWL) provides a persistent, fault-tolerant write-back cache targeted with SSD devices. It greatly reduces latency and also improves performance at low io_depths. This cache uses a log-ordered write-back design which maintains checkpoints internally, so that writes that get flushed back to the cluster are always crash consistent. Even if the client cache is lost entirely, the disk image is still consistent; but the data will appear to be stale.

Container process number limit set to max

Previously, the process number limit, 2048, on the containers prevented new processes from being forked beyond the limit.

Unavailable devices are no longer passed when creating OSDs in a batch

Previously, devices with GPT headers were not marked as unavailable. Cephadm would attempt to create OSDs on those devices, along with other valid devices, in a batch leading to failure of the batch OSD creation, since OSDs cannot be created on devices with GPT headers. This would not create OSDs.

Users providing --format argument with unsupported formats received a traceback

Previously, the orchestrator would throw an exception whenever it received a --format argument that it did not support, causing users who passed --format with unsupported formats to receive a traceback.

The ceph-common packages can now be installed without dependency errors

Previously, after upgrading Red Hat Ceph Storage 4 to Red Hat Ceph Storage 5, a few packages were left out which caused dependency errors.

The tcmu-runner daemons are no longer reported as stray daemons

Previously, tcmu-runner daemons were not actively tracked by cephadm as they were considered part of iSCSI. This resulted in tcmu-runner daemons getting reported as stray daemons since cephadm was not tracking them.

Users can re-add host with an active manager without an explicit IP

Previously, whenever cephadm attempted to resolve the IP address of the current host from within a container, there was a chance of it resolving to a loopback address. An explicit IP was required if the user wished to re-add the host with the active Ceph Manager, and users would receive an error message if they did not provide it.

cephadm verifies if the fsid of the daemon it was inferring a config from matches the expected fsid

Previously, in cephadm, there was no check to verify if the fsid of the daemon it was inferring a configuration from matched the expected fsid. Due to this, if users had a /var/lib/ceph/FSID/DAEMON_NAME directory with an fsid other than the expected one, the configuration from that daemon directory would still be inferred.

cephadm supports copying client keyrings with different names

Previously, cephadm would enforce a file name at the destination, when copying the client keyring ceph.keyring.

User can bootstrap a cluster with multiple public networks with -c ceph.conf option

Previously, cephadm would not parse multiple public networks during bootstrap, when they were provided as part of the -c ceph.conf option. Due to this, it was not possible to bootstrap a cluster with multiple public networks.

Setting up a MDS service with a numeric service ID throws an error to alert user

Previously, setting up a MDS service with a numeric service ID would result in crashing of the MDS daemons.

The ceph orch redeploy mgr command redeploys the active Manager daemon last

Previously, the ceph orch redeploy mgr command would cause the Ceph Manager daemons to continually redeploy themselves without clearing the scheduled redeploy action which would result in the Ceph Manager daemons endlessly flapping.

Adopting clusters with custom name is now supported

Previously, adopting Ceph OSD containers from a Ceph cluster with custom name failed as cephadm would not propagate custom clusters in the unit.run file.

cephadm no longer adds docker.io to the image name provided for the ceph orch upgrade start command

Previously, cephadm would add docker.io to any image from an unqualified registry, thereby it was impossible to pass an image from an unqualified registry, such as a local registry, to upgrade, as it would fail to pull this image.

Cephadm no longer infers configuration files from legacy daemons

Previously, Cephadm would infer config files from legacy daemons, regardless of whether the daemons were still present, based on the existence of a /var/lib/ceph/{mon|osd|mgr} directory. This caused certain tasks, such as refreshing the disks, to fail on nodes where these directories existed, as Cephadm would throw an error when it attempts to infer the non-existent configuration file.

.rgw.root pool is no longer created automatically

Previously, an additional check for Ceph Object Gateway for multi-site existed, which caused the automatic creation of the .rgw.root pool even when the user had deleted it.

The Ceph Manager daemon is removed from a host that is no longer specified in the placement specification in cephadm

Previously, the current active manager daemon would not be removed from cephadm even if it no longer matched the placement specified in the manager service specification. Whenever users changed the service specification to exclude the host where the current active manager was, they would end up with an extra manager until they caused a failover.

A 404 error due to a malformed URL was causing tracebacks in the logs.

Previously, cephadm would incorrectly form the URL for the prometheus receiver, causing a traceback to be printed in the log due to a 404 error that would occur when trying to access the malformed URL.

cephadm no longer removes osd_memory_target config settings at host level

Previously, if osd_memory_target_autotune was turned off globally, cephadm would remove the values that the user set for osd_memory_target at the host level. Additionally, for hosts with FQDN name, even though the CRUSH map uses a short name, cephadm would still set the config option using the FQDN. Due to this, users could not manually set osd_memory_target at the host level and osd_memory_target auto tuning would not work with FQDN hosts.

Cephadm uses the FQDN to build the alertmanager webhook URLs

Previously, Cephadm picked alertmanager webhook URLs based on the IP address it had stored for the hosts. This caused issues since these webhook URLs would not work for certain deployments.

Drain action on the Ceph dashboard ensures safe removal of host

Previously, whenever a user removed a host on the Ceph dashboard without moving out all the daemons, the host transitioned to an unusable state or a ghost state.

Performance details graphs show the required data on the Ceph Dashboard

Previously, due to related metrics being outdated, performance details graphs for a daemon were showing no data even when put/get operations were being performed.

Alertmanager shows the correct MTU mismatch alerts

Previously, Alertmanager was showing false MTU mismatch alerts for cards that were in down state as well.

PG status chart no longer displays unknown placement group status

Previously, snaptrim_wait placement group (PG) state was incorrectly parsed and split into 2 states, snaptrim and wait, which are not valid PG states. This caused the PG status chart to incorrectly show a few PGs in unknown states, even though all of them were in known states.

Ceph Dashboard improved user interface

Previously, the following issues were identified in the Ceph Dashboard user interface, causing it to be unusable when tested with multi-path storage clusters:

Fetching ceph.dir.layout for any directory returns the closest inherited layout

Previously, the directory paths did not traverse to the root to find the closest inherited layout causing the system to return a “No such attribute” message for directories that did not have a layout set specifically on them.

The subvolumegroup ls API filters the internal trash directory _deleting

Previously, the subvolumegroup ls API would not filter internal trash directory _deleting, causing it to be listed as a subvolumegroup.

Race condition no longer causes confusion among MDS in a cluster

Previously, a race condition in MDS, during messenger setup, would result in confusion among other MDS in the cluster, causing other MDS to refuse communication.

MDS can now trigger stray reintegration with online scrub

Previously, stray reintegrations were triggered only on client requests, resulting in the process of clearing out stray inodes to require expensive recursive directory listings by a client.

MDS reintegrates strays if target directories are full

Previously, MDS would not reintegrate strays if the target directory of the link was full causing the stray directory to fill up in degenerate situations.

Quota is enforced on the clone after the data is copied

Previously, the quota on the clone would be set prior to copying the data from the source snapshot and the quota would be enforced before copying the entire data from the source. This would cause the subvolume snapshot clone to fail if the quota on the source exceeded. Since the quota is not strictly enforced at the byte range, this is a possibility.

Disaster recovery automation and planning resumes after ceph-mgr restart

Previously, schedules would not start during ceph-mgr startup which affected the disaster recovery plans of users who presumed that the snapshot schedule would resume at ceph-mgr restart time.

The mdlog is flushed immediately when opening a file for reading

Previously, when opening a file for reading, MDS would revoke the Fw capability from the other clients and when the Fw capability was released, the MDS could not flush the mdlog immediately and would block the Fr capability. This would cause the process that requested for a file to be stuck for about 5 seconds until the mdlog was flushed by MDS periodically every 5 seconds.

Deleting a subvolume clone is no longer allowed for certain clone states

Previously, if you tried to remove a subvolume clone with the force option when the clone was not in a COMPLETED or CANCELLED state, the clone was not removed from the index tracking the ongoing clones. This caused the corresponding cloner thread to retry the cloning indefinitely, eventually resulting in an ENOENT failure. With the default number of cloner threads set to four, attempts to delete four clones resulted in all four threads entering a blocked state allowing none of the pending clones to complete.

New clients are compatible with old Ceph cluster

Previously, new clients were incompatible with old Ceph clusters causing the old clusters to trigger abort() to crash the MDS daemons when receiving unknown metrics.

Ceph Metadata Server no longer crashes during concurrent lookup and unlink operations

Previously, an incorrect assumption of an assert placed in the code, which gets hit on concurrent lookup and unlink operations from a Ceph client, caused Ceph Metadata Server crash.

MDSs no longer crash when fetching unlinked directories

Previously, when fetching unlinked directories, the projected version would be incorrectly initialized, causing MDSs to crash when performing sanity checks.

The missing pointer is added to the PriorityCache perf counters builder and perf output returns the prioritycache key name

Previously, the PriorityCache perf counters builder was missing a necessary pointer, causing the perf counter output, ceph tell DAEMON_TYPE.DAEMON_ID perf dump and ceph tell DAEMON_TYPE.DAEMON_ID perf schema, to return an empty string instead of the prioritycache key. This missing key caused a failure in the collectd-ceph plugin.

Vulnerability with OpenStack 16.x Manila with Native CephFS and external Red Hat Ceph Storage 5

Previously, customers who were running OpenStack 16.x (with Manila) and external Red Hat Ceph Storage 4, who upgraded to Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.0, 5.0.x, 5.1, or 5.1.x, were potentially impacted by a vulnerability. The vulnerability allowed an OpenStack Manila user/tenant (owner of a Ceph File System share) to maliciously obtain access (read/write) to any Manila share backed by CephFS, or even the entire CephFS file system. The vulnerability is due to a bug in the "volumes" plugin in Ceph Manager. This plugin is responsible for managing Ceph File System subvolumes which are used by OpenStack Manila services as a way to provide shares to Manila users.

Missing backport is added and OSDs can be activated

Previously, OSDs could not be activated due to a regression caused by a missing backport.

Lifecycle policy for a versioned bucket no longer fails in between reshards

Previously, due to an internal logic error, lifecycle processing on a bucket would be disabled during bucket resharding causing the lifecycle policies for an affected bucket to not be processed.

Deleted objects are no longer listed in the bucket index

Previously, objects would be listed in the bucket index if the delete object operations did not complete normally, causing the objects that should have been deleted to still be listed.

Zone group of the Ceph Object Gateway is sent as the awsRegion value

Previously, the value of awsRegion was not populated with the zonegroup in the event record.

Ceph Object Gateway deletes all notification topics when an empty list of topics is provided

Previously, in Ceph Object Gateway, notification topics were deleted accurately by name, but would not follow AWS behavior to delete all topics when given an empty topic name, causing a few customer bucket notification workflows to be unusable with Ceph Object Gateway.

Crashes in bucket listing, bucket stats, and similar operations are not seen for indexless buckets

Previously, several operations, including general bucket listing, would incorrectly attempt to access index information from indexless buckets causing a crash.

Internal table index is prevented from becoming negative

Previously, an index into an internal table was allowed to become negative after a period of continuous operation, which caused the Ceph Object Gateway to crash.

Usage of MD5 in a FIPS-enabled environment is explicitly allowed and S3 multipart operations can be completed

Previously, in a FIPS-enabled environment, the usage of MD5 digest was not allowed by default, unless explicitly excluded for non-cryptographic purposes. Due to this, a segfault occurred during the S3 complete multipart upload operation.

Result code 2002 of radosgw-admin commands is explicitly translated to 2

Previously, a change in the S3 error translation of internal NoSuchBucket result inadvertently changed the error code from the radosgw-admin bucket stats command causing the programs checking the shell result code of those radosgw-admin commands to see a different result code.

Usage of MD5 in a FIPS-enabled environment is explicitly allowed and S3 multipart operations can be completed

Previously, in a FIPS-enabled environment, the usage of MD5 digest was not allowed by default, unless explicitly excluded for non-cryptographic purposes. Due to this, a segfault occurred during the S3 complete multipart upload operation.

radosgw-admin bi purge command works on deleted buckets

Previously, radosgw-admin bi purge command required a bucket entrypoint object, which does not exist for deleted buckets causing bi purge to be unable to clean up after deleted buckets.

Null pointer check no longer causes multi-site data sync crash

Previously, a null pointer access would crash the multisite data sync.

Metadata sync no longer gets stuck when encountering errors

Previously, some errors in metadata sync would not retry, causing sync to get stuck when some errors occurred in a Ceph Object Gateway multi-site configuration.

Special handling is added for rgw_data_notify_interval_msec=0 parameter

Previously, rgw_data_notify_interval_msec had no special handling for 0, resulting in the primary site flooding the secondary site with notifications.

Ceph cluster issues a health warning if the require-osd-release flag is not set to the appropriate release after a cluster upgrade.

Previously, the logic in the code that detects the require-osd-release flag mismatch after an upgrade was inadvertently removed during a code refactoring effort. Since the warning was not raised in the ceph -s output post an upgrade, any change made to the cluster without setting the flag to the appropriate release resulted in issues, such as, placement groups (PG) stuck in certain states, excessive Ceph process memory consumption, slow requests, among many other issues.

PGs no longer get incorrectly stuck in remapped+peering state in stretch mode

Previously, due to a logical error, when operating a cluster in stretch mode, it was possible for some placement groups (PGs) to get permanently stuck in remapped+peering state under certain cluster conditions, causing the data to be unavailable until the OSDs were taken offline.

OSD deployment tool successfully deploys all the OSDs while making changes to the cluster

The KVMonitor paxos services manages the keys being added, removed, or modified when performing changes to the cluster. Previously, while adding new OSDs using the OSD deployment tool, the keys would be added without verifying whether the service could write to it. Due to this, assertion failure would occur in the paxos code causing the monitor to crash.

Corrupted dups entries of a PG Log can be removed by off-line and on-line trimming

Previously, trimming of PG log dups entries could be prevented during the low-level PG split operation, which is used by the PG autoscaler with far higher frequency than by a human operator. Stalling the trimming of dups resulted in significant memory growth of PG log, leading to OSD crashes as it ran out of memory. Restarting an OSD did not solve the problem as the PG log is stored on disk and reloaded to RAM on startup.

last_copied_object_number value is properly updated for all images

Previously, due to an implementation defect, last_copied_object_number value was properly updated only for fully allocated images. This caused the last_copied_object_number value to be incorrect for any sparse image and the image replication progress to be lost in case of abrupt rbd-mirror daemon restart.

Existing schedules take effect when an image is promoted to primary

Previously, due to an ill-considered optimization, existing schedules would not take effect following an image’s promotion to primary resulting in the snapshot-based mirroring process to not start for a recently promoted image.

Snapshot-based mirroring process no longer gets cancelled

Previously, as a result of an internal race condition, the rbd mirror snapshot schedule add command would be cancelled out. The snapshot-based mirroring process for the affected image would not start, if no other existing schedules were applicable.

Replay or resync is no longer attempted if the remote image is not primary

Previously, due to an implementation defect, replay or resync would be attempted even if the remote image was not primary, that is, there is nowhere to replay or resync from. This caused the snapshot-based mirroring to run into a livelock and to continuously report "failed to unlink local peer from remote image" error.

Mirror snapshots that are in use by rbd-mirror daemon on the secondary cluster are not removed

Previously, as a result of an internal race condition, the mirror snapshot that was in use by the rbd-mirror daemon on the secondary cluster would be removed, causing the snapshot-based mirroring process for the affected image to stop, reporting a "split-brain" error.

Logic no longer causes RBD mirror to crash if owner is locked during schedule_request_lock()

Previously, during schedule_request_lock(), for an already locked owner, the block device mirror would crash and image syncing would stop.

Image replication no longer stops with incomplete local non-primary snapshot error

Previously, due to an implementation defect, upon an abrupt rbd-mirror daemon restart, image replication would stop with incomplete local non-primary snapshot error.

Correct value is set for autotune_memory_target_ratio when migrating to cephadm

Previously, when migrating to cephadm, nothing would set a proper value for autotune_memory_target_ratio depending on the kind of deployment, HCI or non_HCI. Due to this, no ratio was set and there would be no difference between the two deployments.

Crash daemon might not be able to send crash reports to the storage cluster

Due to an issue with the crash daemon configuration, it might not be possible to send crash reports to the cluster from the crash daemon.

Users are warned while upgrading to Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.2

Previously, buckets resharded in Red Hat Ceph Storage 5, might not have been understandable by a Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.2 Ceph Object Gateway daemon, due to which an upgrade warning/blocker was added to make sure all users upgrading to Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.2 are aware of the issue and can downgrade if they were previously using Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.1 with object storage.

HA-backed I/O operations on the virtual IP that the NFS daemon is on, are not maintained across the failover HAProxy configurations are not updated with NFS daemons

The HAProxy configurations are not updated when failing over NFS daemons from an offline to an online host. As a result, the HA-backed I/O operations are directed to the virtual IP that the NFS daemon is on and is not maintained across the failover.

Creating ingress service with SSL from the Ceph Dashboard is not working

The ingress service creation with SSL from the Ceph Dashboard is not working as the form expects the user to populate a Private key field, which is not a required field anymore.

”Throughput-optimized” option is recommended for clusters containing SSD and NVMe devices

Previously, whenever the cluster had either only SSD devices or both SSDs and NVMe devices, the “Throughput-optimized” option would be recommended, even though it shouldn’t be and it had no impact either on the user or the cluster.

The getpath command causes automation failure

An assumption that the directory name returned by the getpath command is the directory under which snapshots would be created causes automation failure and confusion.

Upgrading to Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.2 from Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.1 with Ceph Object Gateway configuration is not supported

Upgrading to Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.2 from Red Hat Ceph Storage 5.1 on any Ceph Object Gateway (RGW) clusters (single-site or multi-site) is not supported due to a known issue BZ#2100602.
