Chapter 1. Overview

Troubleshooting OpenShift Data Foundation is written to help administrators understand how to troubleshoot and fix their Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation cluster.

Most troubleshooting tasks focus on either a fix or a workaround. This document is divided into chapters based on the errors that an administrator may encounter:

Chapter 2. Downloading log files and diagnostic information using must-gather

If Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation is unable to automatically resolve a problem, use the must-gather tool to collect log files and diagnostic information so that you or Red Hat support can review the problem and determine a solution.

Important

When Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation is deployed in external mode, must-gather only collects logs from the Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation cluster and does not collect debug data and logs from the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster. To collect debug logs from the external Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster, see Red Hat Ceph Storage Troubleshooting guide and contact your Red Hat Ceph Storage Administrator.

Prerequisites

  • Optional: If OpenShift Data Foundation is deployed in a disconnected environment, ensure that you mirror the individual must-gather image to the mirror registry available from the disconnected environment.

    $ oc image mirror registry.redhat.io/odf4/ocs-must-gather-rhel8:v4.9 <local-registry>/odf4/ocs-must-gather-rhel8:v4.9 [--registry-config=<path-to-the-registry-config>] [--insecure=true]
    <local-registry>
    Is the local image mirror registry available for a disconnected OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
    <path-to-the-registry-config>
    Is the path to your registry credentials, by default it is ~/.docker/config.json.
    --insecure
    Add this flag only if the mirror registry is insecure.

    For more information, see the Red Hat Knowledgebase solutions:

Procedure

  • Run the must-gather command from the client connected to the Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation cluster:

    $ oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/odf4/ocs-must-gather-rhel8:v4.9 --dest-dir=<directory-name>
    <directory-name>

    Is the name of the directory where you want to write the data to.

    Important

    For a disconnected environment deployment, replace the image in --image parameter with the mirrored must-gather image.

    $ oc adm must-gather --image=<local-registry>/odf4/ocs-must-gather-rhel8:v4.9 --dest-dir=<directory-name>
    <local-registry>
    Is the local image mirror registry available for a disconnected OpenShift Container Platform cluster.

    This collects the following information in the specified directory:

    • All Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation cluster related Custom Resources (CRs) with their namespaces.
    • Pod logs of all the Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation related pods.
    • Output of some standard Ceph commands like Status, Cluster health, and others.

Command variations

  • If one or more master nodes are not in the Ready state, use --node-name to provide a master node that is Ready so that the must-gather pod can be safely scheduled.

    $ oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/odf4/ocs-must-gather-rhel8:v4.9 --dest-dir=<directory-name> --node-name=<node-name>
  • If you want to gather information from a specific time:

    • To specify a relative time period for logs gathered, such as within 5 seconds or 2 days, add /usr/bin/gather since=<duration>:

      $ oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/odf4/ocs-must-gather-rhel8:v4.9 --dest-dir=<directory-name> /usr/bin/gather since=<duration>
    • To specify a specific time to gather logs after, add /usr/bin/gather since-time=<rfc3339-timestamp>:

      $ oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/odf4/ocs-must-gather-rhel8:v4.9 --dest-dir=<directory-name> /usr/bin/gather since-time=<rfc3339-timestamp>

    Replace the example values in these commands as follows:

    <node-name>
    If one or more master nodes are not in the Ready state, use this parameter to provide the name of a master node that is still in the Ready state. This avoids scheduling errors by ensuring that the must-gather pod is not scheduled on a master node that is not ready.
    <directory-name>
    The directory to store information collected by must-gather.
    <duration>
    Specify the period of time to collect information from as a relative duration, for example, 5h (starting from 5 hours ago).
    <rfc3339-timestamp>
    Specify the period of time to collect information from as an RFC 3339 timestamp, for example, 2020-11-10T04:00:00+00:00 (starting from 4am UTC on 11 Nov 2020).

Chapter 3. Commonly required logs for troubleshooting

Some of the commonly used logs for troubleshooting OpenShift Data Foundation are listed, along with the commands to generate them.

  • Generating logs for a specific pod:

     $ oc logs <pod-name> -n <namespace>
  • Generating logs for Ceph or OpenShift Data Foundation cluster:

    $ oc logs rook-ceph-operator-<ID> -n openshift-storage
    Important

    Currently, the rook-ceph-operator logs do not provide any information about the failure and this acts as a limitation in troubleshooting issues, see Enabling and disabling debug logs for rook-ceph-operator.

  • Generating logs for plugin pods like cephfs or rbd to detect any problem in the PVC mount of the app-pod:

    $ oc logs csi-cephfsplugin-<ID> -n openshift-storage -c csi-cephfsplugin
    $ oc logs csi-rbdplugin-<ID> -n openshift-storage -c csi-rbdplugin
    • To generate logs for all the containers in the CSI pod:

      $ oc logs csi-cephfsplugin-<ID> -n openshift-storage --all-containers
      $ oc logs csi-rbdplugin-<ID> -n openshift-storage --all-containers
  • Generating logs for cephfs or rbd provisioner pods to detect problems if PVC is not in BOUND state:

    $ oc logs csi-cephfsplugin-provisioner-<ID> -n openshift-storage -c csi-cephfsplugin
    $ oc logs csi-rbdplugin-provisioner-<ID> -n openshift-storage -c csi-rbdplugin
    • To generate logs for all the containers in the CSI pod:

      $ oc logs csi-cephfsplugin-provisioner-<ID> -n openshift-storage --all-containers
      $ oc logs csi-rbdplugin-provisioner-<ID> -n openshift-storage --all-containers
  • Generating OpenShift Data Foundation logs using cluster-info command:

    $ oc cluster-info dump -n openshift-storage --output-directory=<directory-name>
  • When using Local Storage Operator, generating logs can be done using cluster-info command:

    $ oc cluster-info dump -n openshift-local-storage --output-directory=<directory-name>
  • Check the OpenShift Data Foundation operator logs and events.

    • To check the operator logs :

      # oc logs <ocs-operator> -n openshift-storage
      <ocs-operator>
      # oc get pods -n openshift-storage | grep -i "ocs-operator" | awk '{print $1}'
    • To check the operator events :

      # oc get events --sort-by=metadata.creationTimestamp -n openshift-storage
  • Get the OpenShift Data Foundation operator version and channel.

    # oc get csv -n openshift-storage

    Example output :

    NAME                 DISPLAY                     VERSION
    REPLACES             PHASE
    mcg-operator.v4.9.2  NooBaa Operator             4.9.2
    mcg-operator.v4.9.1  Succeeded
    ocs-operator.v4.9.2  OpenShift Container Storage 4.9.2
    ocs-operator.v4.9.1  Succeeded
    odf-operator.v4.9.2  OpenShift Data Foundation   4.9.2
    odf-operator.v4.9.1  Succeeded
    # oc get subs -n openshift-storage

    Example output :

    NAME
    PACKAGE           SOURCE                  CHANNEL
    mcg-operator-stable-4.9-redhat-operators-openshift-marketplace
    mcg-operator      redhat-operators        stable-4.9
    ocs-operator-stable-4.9-redhat-operators-openshift-marketplace
    ocs-operator      redhat-operators        stable-4.9
    odf-operator
    odf-operator      redhat-operators        stable-4.9
  • Confirm that the installplan is created.

    # oc get installplan -n openshift-storage
  • Verify the image of the components post updating OpenShift Data Foundation.

    • Check the node on which the pod of the component you want to verify the image is running.

      # oc get pods -o wide | grep <component-name>

      For Example :

      # oc get pods -o wide | grep rook-ceph-operator

      Example output:

      rook-ceph-operator-566cc677fd-bjqnb 1/1 Running 20 4h6m 10.128.2.5 rook-ceph-operator-566cc677fd-bjqnb 1/1 Running 20 4h6m 10.128.2.5 dell-r440-12.gsslab.pnq2.redhat.com <none> <none>
      
      <none> <none>

      dell-r440-12.gsslab.pnq2.redhat.com is the node-name.

    • Check the image ID.

      # oc debug node/<node name>

      <node-name>

      Is the name of the node on which the pod of the component you want to verify the image is running.

      # chroot /host
      # crictl images | grep <component>

      For Example :

      # crictl images | grep rook-ceph

      Take a note of the IMAGEID and map it to the Digest ID on the Rook Ceph Operator page.

Chapter 4. Overriding the cluster-wide default node selector for OpenShift Data Foundation post deployment

When a cluster-wide default node selector is used for OpenShift Data Foundation, the pods generated by CSI daemonsets are able to start only on the nodes that match the selector. To be able to use OpenShift Data Foundation from nodes which do not match the selector, override the cluster-wide default node selector by performing the following steps in the command line interface :

Procedure

  1. Specify a blank node selector for the openshift-storage namespace.

    $ oc annotate namespace openshift-storage openshift.io/node-selector=
  2. Delete the original pods generated by the DaemonSets.

    oc delete pod -l app=csi-cephfsplugin -n openshift-storage
    oc delete pod -l app=csi-rbdplugin -n openshift-storage

Chapter 5. Encryption token is deleted or expired

Use this procedure to update the token if the encryption token for your key management system gets deleted or expires.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure that you have a new token with the same policy as the deleted or expired token

Procedure

  1. Log in to OpenShift Container Platform Web Console.
  2. Click WorkloadsSecrets
  3. To update the ocs-kms-token used for cluster wide encryption:

    1. Set the Project to openshift-storage.
    2. Click ocs-kms-tokenActionsEdit Secret.
    3. Drag and drop or upload your encryption token file in the Value field. The token can either be a file or text that can be copied and pasted.
    4. Click Save.
  4. To update the ceph-csi-kms-token for a given project or namespace with encrypted persistent volumes:

    1. Select the required Project.
    2. Click ceph-csi-kms-tokenActionsEdit Secret.
    3. Drag and drop or upload your encryption token file in the Value field. The token can either be a file or text that can be copied and pasted.
    4. Click Save.

      Note

      The token can be deleted only after all the encrypted PVCs using the ceph-csi-kms-token have been deleted.

6.2. Resolving cluster health issues

There is a finite set of possible health messages that a Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster can raise that show in the OpenShift Data Foundation user interface. These are defined as health checks which have unique identifiers. The identifier is a terse pseudo-human-readable string that is intended to enable tools to make sense of health checks, and present them in a way that reflects their meaning. Click the health code below for more information and troubleshooting.

Health codeDescription

MON_DISK_LOW

One or more Ceph Monitors are low on disk space.

6.2.1. MON_DISK_LOW

This alert triggers if the available space on the file system storing the monitor database as a percentage, drops below mon_data_avail_warn (default: 15%). This may indicate that some other process or user on the system is filling up the same file system used by the monitor. It may also indicate that the monitor’s database is large.

Note

The paths to the file system differ depending on the deployment of your mons. You can find the path to where the mon is deployed in storagecluster.yaml.

Example paths:

  • Mon deployed over PVC path: /var/lib/ceph/mon
  • Mon deployed over hostpath: /var/lib/rook/mon

In order to clear up space, view the high usage files in the file system and choose which to delete. To view the files, run:

# du -a <path-in-the-mon-node> |sort -n -r |head -n10

Replace <path-in-the-mon-node> with the path to the file system where mons are deployed.

6.3. Resolving NooBaa Bucket Error State

Procedure

  1. In the OpenShift Web Console, click StorageOpenShift Data Foundation.
  2. In the Status card of the Overview tab, click Storage System and then click the storage system link from the pop up that appears.
  3. Click the Object tab.
  4. In the Details card, click the link under System Name field.
  5. In the left pane, click Buckets option and search for the bucket in error state. If the bucket in error state is a namespace bucket, be sure to click the Namespace Buckets pane.
  6. Click on it’s Bucket Name. Error encountered in bucket is displayed.
  7. Depending on the specific error of the bucket, perform one or both of the following:

    1. For space related errors:

      1. In the left pane, click Resources option.
      2. Click on the resource in error state.
      3. Scale the resource by adding more agents.
    2. For resource health errors:

      1. In the left pane, click Resources option.
      2. Click on the resource in error state.
      3. Connectivity error means the backing service is not available and needs to be restored.
      4. For access/permissions errors, update the connection’s Access Key and Secret Key.

6.4. Resolving NooBaa Bucket Exceeding Quota State

To resolve A NooBaa Bucket Is In Exceeding Quota State error perform one of the following:

  • Cleanup some of the data on the bucket.
  • Increase the bucket quota by performing the following steps:

    1. In the OpenShift Web Console, click StorageOpenShift Data Foundation.
    2. In the Status card of the Overview tab, click Storage System and then click the storage system link from the pop up that appears.
    3. Click the Object tab.
    4. In the Details card, click the link under System Name field.
    5. In the left pane, click Buckets option and search for the bucket in error state.
    6. Click on its Bucket Name. Error encountered in bucket is displayed.
    7. Click Bucket PoliciesEdit Quota and increase the quota.

6.5. Resolving NooBaa Bucket Capacity or Quota State

Procedure

  1. In the OpenShift Web Console, click StorageOpenShift Data Foundation.
  2. In the Status card of the Overview tab, click Storage System and then click the storage system link from the pop up that appears.
  3. Click the Object tab.
  4. In the Details card, click the link under System Name field.
  5. In the left pane, click the Resources option and search for the PV pool resource.
  6. For the PV pool resource with low capacity status, click on it’s Resource Name.
  7. Edit the pool configuration and increase the number of agents.

6.6. Recovering pods

When a first node (say NODE1) goes to NotReady state because of some issue, the hosted pods that are using PVC with ReadWriteOnce (RWO) access mode try to move to the second node (say NODE2) but get stuck due to multi-attach error. In such a case, you can recover MON, OSD, and application pods by using the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Power off NODE1 (from AWS or vSphere side) and ensure that NODE1 is completely down.
  2. Force delete the pods on NODE1 by using the following command:

    $ oc delete pod <pod-name> --grace-period=0 --force

6.7. Recovering from EBS volume detach

When an OSD or MON elastic block storage (EBS) volume where the OSD disk resides is detached from the worker Amazon EC2 instance, the volume gets reattached automatically within one or two minutes. However, the OSD pod gets into a CrashLoopBackOff state. To recover and bring back the pod to Running state, you must restart the EC2 instance.

6.8. Enabling and disabling debug logs for rook-ceph-operator

Enable the debug logs for the rook-ceph-operator to obtain information about failures that help in troubleshooting issues.

Procedure

Enabling the debug logs
  1. Edit the configmap of the rook-ceph-operator.

    $ oc edit configmap rook-ceph-operator-config
  2. Add the ROOK_LOG_LEVEL: DEBUG parameter in the rook-ceph-operator-config yaml file to enable the debug logs for rook-ceph-operator.

    …
    data:
      # The logging level for the operator: INFO | DEBUG
      ROOK_LOG_LEVEL: DEBUG

    Now, the rook-ceph-operator logs consist of the debug information.

Disabling the debug logs
  1. Edit the configmap of the rook-ceph-operator.

    $ oc edit configmap rook-ceph-operator-config
  2. Add the ROOK_LOG_LEVEL: INFO parameter in the rook-ceph-operator-config yaml file to disable the debug logs for rook-ceph-operator.

    …
    data:
      # The logging level for the operator: INFO | DEBUG
      ROOK_LOG_LEVEL: INFO

Chapter 7. Checking for Local Storage Operator deployments

Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation clusters with Local Storage Operator are deployed using local storage devices. To find out if your existing cluster with OpenShift Data Foundation was deployed using local storage devices, use the following procedure:

Prerequisites

  • OpenShift Data Foundation is installed and running in the openshift-storage namespace.

Procedure

By checking the storage class associated with your OpenShift Data Foundation cluster’s persistent volume claims (PVCs), you can tell if your cluster was deployed using local storage devices.

  1. Check the storage class associated with OpenShift Data Foundation cluster’s PVCs with the following command:

    $ oc get pvc -n openshift-storage
  2. Check the output. For clusters with Local Storage Operator, the PVCs associated with ocs-deviceset use the storage class localblock. The output looks similar to the following:

    NAME                      STATUS   VOLUME                                     CAPACITY   ACCESS MODES   STORAGECLASS                  AGE

Chapter 8. Troubleshooting and deleting remaining resources during Uninstall

Occasionally some of the custom resources managed by an operator may remain in "Terminating" status waiting on the finalizer to complete, although you have performed all the required cleanup tasks. In such an event you need to force the removal of such resources. If you do not do so, the resources remain in the "Terminating" state even after you have performed all the uninstall steps.

  1. Check if the openshift-storage namespace is stuck in Terminating state upon deletion.

    $ oc get project -n <namespace>

    Output:

    NAME                DISPLAY NAME   STATUS
    openshift-storage                  Terminating
  2. Check for the NamespaceFinalizersRemaining and NamespaceContentRemaining messages in the STATUS section of the command output and perform the next step for each of the listed resources.

    $ oc get project openshift-storage -o yaml

    Example output :

    status:
      conditions:
      - lastTransitionTime: "2020-07-26T12:32:56Z"
        message: All resources successfully discovered
        reason: ResourcesDiscovered
        status: "False"
        type: NamespaceDeletionDiscoveryFailure
      - lastTransitionTime: "2020-07-26T12:32:56Z"
        message: All legacy kube types successfully parsed
        reason: ParsedGroupVersions
        status: "False"
        type: NamespaceDeletionGroupVersionParsingFailure
      - lastTransitionTime: "2020-07-26T12:32:56Z"
        message: All content successfully deleted, may be waiting on finalization
        reason: ContentDeleted
        status: "False"
        type: NamespaceDeletionContentFailure
      - lastTransitionTime: "2020-07-26T12:32:56Z"
        message: 'Some resources are remaining: cephobjectstoreusers.ceph.rook.io has
          1 resource instances'
        reason: SomeResourcesRemain
        status: "True"
        type: NamespaceContentRemaining
      - lastTransitionTime: "2020-07-26T12:32:56Z"
        message: 'Some content in the namespace has finalizers remaining: cephobjectstoreuser.ceph.rook.io
          in 1 resource instances'
        reason: SomeFinalizersRemain
        status: "True"
        type: NamespaceFinalizersRemaining
  3. Delete all the remaining resources listed in the previous step.

    For each of the resources to be deleted, do the following:

    1. Get the object kind of the resource which needs to be removed. See the message in the above output.

      Example :

      message: Some content in the namespace has finalizers remaining: cephobjectstoreuser.ceph.rook.io

      Here cephobjectstoreuser.ceph.rook.io is the object kind.

    2. Get the Object name corresponding to the object kind.

      $ oc get  <Object-kind> -n  <project-name>

      Example :

      $ oc get cephobjectstoreusers.ceph.rook.io -n openshift-storage

      Example output:

      NAME                           AGE
      noobaa-ceph-objectstore-user   26h
    3. Patch the resources.

      $ oc patch -n <project-name> <object-kind>/<object-name> --type=merge -p '{"metadata": {"finalizers":null}}'

      Example:

      $ oc patch -n openshift-storage cephobjectstoreusers.ceph.rook.io/noobaa-ceph-objectstore-user \
      --type=merge -p '{"metadata": {"finalizers":null}}'

      Output:

      cephobjectstoreuser.ceph.rook.io/noobaa-ceph-objectstore-user patched
  4. Verify that the openshift-storage project is deleted.

    $ oc get project openshift-storage

    Output:

    Error from server (NotFound): namespaces "openshift-storage" not found

    If the issue persists, reach out to Red Hat Support.

Chapter 9. Troubleshooting CephFS PVC creation in external mode

If you have updated the Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster from a version lower than 4.1.1 to the latest release and is not a freshly deployed cluster, you must manually set the application type for CephFS pool on the Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster to enable CephFS PVC creation in external mode.

  1. Check for CephFS pvc stuck in Pending status.

    # oc get pvc -n <namespace>

    Example output :

    NAME                      STATUS    VOLUME
    CAPACITY  ACCESS MODES    STORAGECLASS                        AGE
    ngx-fs-pxknkcix20-pod     Pending
                              ocs-external-storagecluster-cephfs  28h
    [...]
  2. Check the describe output to see the events for respective pvc.

    Expected error message is cephfs_metadata/csi.volumes.default/csi.volume.pvc-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx: (1) Operation not permitted)

    # oc describe pvc ngx-fs-pxknkcix20-pod -n nginx-file

    Example output:

    Name:          ngx-fs-pxknkcix20-pod
    Namespace:     nginx-file

  3. Check the settings for the <cephfs metadata pool name> (here cephfs_metadata ) and <cephfs data pool name> (here cephfs_data). For running the command, you will need jq preinstalled in the Red Hat Ceph Storage client node.

    # ceph osd pool ls detail --format=json | jq '.[] | select(.pool_name| startswith("cephfs")) | .pool_name, .application_metadata' "cephfs_data"
    {
      "cephfs": {}
    }
    "cephfs_metadata"
    {
       "cephfs": {}
    }
  4. Set the application type for CephFS pool.

    • Run the following commands on the Red Hat Ceph Storage client node :

      # ceph osd pool application set <cephfs metadata pool name> cephfs metadata cephfs
      # ceph osd pool application set <cephfs data pool name> cephfs data cephfs
  5. Verify if the settings are applied.

     # ceph osd pool ls detail --format=json | jq '.[] | select(.pool_name| startswith("cephfs")) | .pool_name, .application_metadata' "cephfs_data"
      {
        "cephfs": {
          "data": "cephfs"
       }
      }
      "cephfs_metadata"
      {
        "cephfs": {
          "metadata": "cephfs"
        }
      }
  6. Check the CephFS PVC status again. The PVC should now be in Bound state.

    # oc get pvc -n <namespace>

    Example output :

    NAME                      STATUS    VOLUME
    CAPACITY  ACCESS MODES    STORAGECLASS                        AGE

Chapter 10. Restoring the monitor pods in OpenShift Data Foundation

Restore the monitor pods if all three of them go down, and when OpenShift Data Foundation is not able to recover the monitor pods automatically.

Procedure

  1. Scale down the rook-ceph-operator and ocs operator deployments.

    # oc scale deployment rook-ceph-operator --replicas=0 -n openshift-storage
    # oc scale deployment ocs-operator --replicas=0 -n openshift-storage
  2. Create a backup of all deployments in openshift-storage namespace.

    # mkdir backup
    # cd backup
    # oc project openshift-storage
    # for d in $(oc get deployment|awk -F' ' '{print $1}'|grep -v NAME); do echo $d;oc get deployment $d -o yaml > oc_get_deployment.${d}.yaml; done
  3. Patch the OSD deployments to remove the livenessProbe parameter, and run it with the command parameter as sleep.

    # for i in $(oc get deployment -l app=rook-ceph-osd -oname);do oc patch ${i} -n openshift-storage --type='json' -p '[{"op":"remove", "path":"/spec/template/spec/containers/0/livenessProbe"}]' ; oc patch ${i} -n openshift-storage -p '{"spec": {"template": {"spec": {"containers": [{"name": "osd", "command": ["sleep", "infinity"], "args": []}]}}}}' ; done
  4. Retrieve the monstore cluster map from all the OSDs.

    1. Create the recover_mon.sh script.

      #!/bin/bash
      ms=/tmp/monstore
      
      rm -rf $ms
      mkdir $ms
      
      for osd_pod in $(oc get po -l app=rook-ceph-osd -oname -n openshift-storage); do
      
        echo "Starting with pod: $osd_pod"
      
        podname=$(echo $osd_pod|sed 's/pod\///g')
        oc exec $osd_pod -- rm -rf $ms
        oc cp $ms $podname:$ms
      
        rm -rf $ms
        mkdir $ms
      
        echo "pod in loop: $osd_pod ; done deleting local dirs"
      
        oc exec $osd_pod -- ceph-objectstore-tool --type bluestore --data-path /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-$(oc get $osd_pod -ojsonpath='{ .metadata.labels.ceph_daemon_id }') --op update-mon-db --no-mon-config --mon-store-path $ms
        echo "Done with COT on pod: $osd_pod"
      
        oc cp $podname:$ms $ms
      
        echo "Finished pulling COT data from pod: $osd_pod"
      done
    2. Run the recover_mon.sh script.

      # chmod +x recover_mon.sh
      # ./recover_mon.sh
  5. Patch the MON deployments, and run it with the command parameter as sleep.

    1. Edit the MON deployments.

      # for i in $(oc get deployment -l app=rook-ceph-mon -oname);do oc patch ${i} -n openshift-storage -p '{"spec": {"template": {"spec": {"containers": [{"name": "mon", "command": ["sleep", "infinity"], "args": []}]}}}}'; done
    2. Patch the MON deployments to increase the initialDelaySeconds.

      # oc get deployment rook-ceph-mon-a -o yaml | sed "s/initialDelaySeconds: 10/initialDelaySeconds: 2000/g" | oc replace -f -
      # oc get deployment rook-ceph-mon-b -o yaml | sed "s/initialDelaySeconds: 10/initialDelaySeconds: 2000/g" | oc replace -f -
      # oc get deployment rook-ceph-mon-c -o yaml | sed "s/initialDelaySeconds: 10/initialDelaySeconds: 2000/g" | oc replace -f -
  6. Copy the previously retrieved monstore to the mon-a pod.

    # oc cp /tmp/monstore/ $(oc get po -l app=rook-ceph-mon,mon=a -oname |sed 's/pod\///g'):/tmp/
  7. Navigate into the MON pod and change the ownership of the retrieved monstore.

    # oc rsh $(oc get po -l app=rook-ceph-mon,mon=a -oname)
    # chown -R ceph:ceph /tmp/monstore
  8. Copy the keyring template file before rebuilding the mon db.

    # oc rsh $(oc get po -l app=rook-ceph-mon,mon=a -oname)
    # cp /etc/ceph/keyring-store/keyring /tmp/keyring
    # cat /tmp/keyring
      [mon.]
        key = AQCleqldWqm5IhAAgZQbEzoShkZV42RiQVffnA==
        caps mon = "allow *"
      [client.admin]
        key = AQCmAKld8J05KxAArOWeRAw63gAwwZO5o75ZNQ==
        auid = 0
        caps mds = "allow *"
        caps mgr = "allow *"
        caps mon = "allow *"
        caps osd = "allow *”
  9. Identify the keyring of all other Ceph daemons (MGR, MDS, RGW, Crash, CSI and CSI provisioners) from its respective secrets.

    # oc get secret rook-ceph-mds-ocs-storagecluster-cephfilesystem-a-keyring -ojson  | jq .data.keyring | xargs echo | base64 -d
    
    [mds.ocs-storagecluster-cephfilesystem-a]
    key = AQB3r8VgAtr6OhAAVhhXpNKqRTuEVdRoxG4uRA==
    caps mon = "allow profile mds"
    caps osd = "allow *"
    caps mds = "allow"

    Example keyring file, /etc/ceph/ceph.client.admin.keyring:

    [mon.]
    	key = AQDxTF1hNgLTNxAAi51cCojs01b4I5E6v2H8Uw==
    	caps mon = "allow "
    [client.admin]
            key = AQDxTF1hpzguOxAA0sS8nN4udoO35OEbt3bqMQ==
            caps mds = "allow " caps mgr = "allow *" caps mon = "allow *" caps osd = "allow *" [mds.ocs-storagecluster-cephfilesystem-a] key = AQCKTV1horgjARAA8aF/BDh/4+eG4RCNBCl+aw== caps mds = "allow" caps mon = "allow profile mds" caps osd = "allow *" [mds.ocs-storagecluster-cephfilesystem-b] key = AQCKTV1hN4gKLBAA5emIVq3ncV7AMEM1c1RmGA== caps mds = "allow" caps mon = "allow profile mds" caps osd = "allow *" [client.rgw.ocs.storagecluster.cephobjectstore.a] key = AQCOkdBixmpiAxAA4X7zjn6SGTI9c1MBflszYA== caps mon = "allow rw" caps osd = "allow rwx" [mgr.a] key = AQBOTV1hGYOEORAA87471+eIZLZtptfkcHvTRg== caps mds = "allow *" caps mon = "allow profile mgr" caps osd = "allow *" [client.crash] key = AQBOTV1htO1aGRAAe2MPYcGdiAT+Oo4CNPSF1g== caps mgr = "allow rw" caps mon = "allow profile crash" [client.csi-cephfs-node] key = AQBOTV1hiAtuBBAAaPPBVgh1AqZJlDeHWdoFLw== caps mds = "allow rw" caps mgr = "allow rw" caps mon = "allow r" caps osd = "allow rw tag cephfs *=" [client.csi-cephfs-provisioner] key = AQBNTV1hHu6wMBAAzNXZv36aZJuE1iz7S7GfeQ== caps mgr = "allow rw" caps mon = "allow r" caps osd = "allow rw tag cephfs metadata="
    [client.csi-rbd-node]
    	key = AQBNTV1h+LnkIRAAWnpIN9bUAmSHOvJ0EJXHRw==
    	caps mgr = "allow rw"
    	caps mon = "profile rbd"
    	caps osd = "profile rbd"
    [client.csi-rbd-provisioner]
    	key = AQBNTV1hMNcsExAAvA3gHB2qaY33LOdWCvHG/A==
    	caps mgr = "allow rw"
    	caps mon = "profile rbd"
    	caps osd = "profile rbd"
    Important
    • For client.csi related keyring, refer to the previous keyring file output and add the default caps after fetching the key from its respective OpenShift Data Foundation secret.
    • OSD keyring is added automatically post recovery.
  10. Navigate into the mon-a pod, and verify that the monstore has monmap.

    1. Navigate into the mon-a pod.

      # oc rsh $(oc get po -l app=rook-ceph-mon,mon=a -oname)
    2. Verify that the monstore has monmap.

      # ceph-monstore-tool /tmp/monstore get monmap -- --out /tmp/monmap
      # monmaptool /tmp/monmap --print
  11. Optional: If the monmap is missing then create a new monmap.

    # monmaptool --create --add <mon-a-id> <mon-a-ip> --add <mon-b-id> <mon-b-ip> --add <mon-c-id> <mon-c-ip> --enable-all-features --clobber /root/monmap --fsid <fsid>
    <mon-a-id>
    Is the ID of the mon-a pod.
    <mon-a-ip>
    Is the IP address of the mon-a pod.
    <mon-b-id>
    Is the ID of the mon-b pod.
    <mon-b-ip>
    Is the IP address of the mon-b pod.
    <mon-c-id>
    Is the ID of the mon-c pod.
    <mon-c-ip>
    Is the IP address of the mon-c pod.
    <fsid>
    Is the file system ID.
  12. Verify the monmap.

    # monmaptool /root/monmap --print
  13. Import the monmap.

    Important

    Use the previously created keyring file.

    # ceph-monstore-tool /tmp/monstore rebuild -- --keyring /tmp/keyring --monmap /root/monmap
    # chown -R ceph:ceph /tmp/monstore
  14. Create a backup of the old store.db file.

    # mv /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-a/store.db /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-a/store.db.corrupted
    # mv /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-b/store.db /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-b/store.db.corrupted
    # mv /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-c/store.db /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-c/store.db.corrupted
  15. Copy the rebuild store.db file to the monstore directory.

    # mv /tmp/monstore/store.db /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-a/store.db
    # chown -R ceph:ceph /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-a/store.db
  16. After rebuilding the monstore directory, copy the store.db file from local to the rest of the MON pods.

    # oc cp $(oc get po -l app=rook-ceph-mon,mon=a -oname | sed 's/pod\///g'):/var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-a/store.db /tmp/store.db
    # oc cp /tmp/store.db $(oc get po -l app=rook-ceph-mon,mon=<id> -oname | sed 's/pod\///g'):/var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-<id>
    <id>
    Is the ID of the MON pod
  17. Navigate into the rest of the MON pods and change the ownership of the copied monstore.

    # oc rsh $(oc get po -l app=rook-ceph-mon,mon=<id> -oname)
    # chown -R ceph:ceph /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-<id>/store.db
    <id>
    Is the ID of the MON pod
  18. Revert the patched changes.

    • For MON deployments:

      # oc replace --force -f <mon-deployment.yaml>
      <mon-deployment.yaml>
      Is the MON deployment yaml file
    • For OSD deployments:

      # oc replace --force -f <osd-deployment.yaml>
      <osd-deployment.yaml>
      Is the OSD deployment yaml file
    • For MGR deployments:

      # oc replace --force -f <mgr-deployment.yaml>
      <mgr-deployment.yaml>

      Is the MGR deployment yaml file

      Important

      Ensure that the MON, MGR and OSD pods are up and running.

  19. Scale up the rook-ceph-operator and ocs-operator deployments.

    # oc -n openshift-storage scale deployment ocs-operator --replicas=1

Verification steps

  1. Check the Ceph status to confirm that CephFS is running.

    # ceph -s

    Example output:

    cluster:
       id:     f111402f-84d1-4e06-9fdb-c27607676e55

    If the filesystem is offline or MDS service is missing, you need to restore the CephFS. For more information, see Section 10.1, “Restoring the CephFS”.

  2. Check the Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) status. It should be active, and the backingstore and bucketclass should be in Ready state.

    noobaa status -n openshift-storage
    Important

    If the MCG is not in the active state, and the backingstore and bucketclass not in the Ready state, you need to restart all the MCG related pods. For more information, see Section 10.2, “Restoring the Multicloud Object Gateway”.

10.1. Restoring the CephFS

If the filesystem is offline or MDS service is missing you need to restore the CephFS.

Procedure

  1. Scale down the rook-ceph-operator and ocs operator deployments.

    # oc scale deployment rook-ceph-operator --replicas=0 -n openshift-storage
    # oc scale deployment ocs-operator --replicas=0 -n openshift-storage
  2. Patch the MDS deployments to remove the livenessProbe parameter and run it with the command parameter as sleep.

    # for i in $(oc get deployment -l app=rook-ceph-mds -oname);do oc patch ${i} -n openshift-storage --type='json' -p '[{"op":"remove", "path":"/spec/template/spec/containers/0/livenessProbe"}]' ; oc patch ${i} -n openshift-storage -p '{"spec": {"template": {"spec": {"containers": [{"name": "mds", "command": ["sleep", "infinity"], "args": []}]}}}}' ; done
  3. Recover the CephFS.

    # ceph fs reset ocs-storagecluster-cephfilesystem --yes-i-really-mean-it

    If the reset command fails, force create the default filesystem with the data and metadata pools, and then reset it.

    Note

    The reset command might fail if the cephfilesystem is missing.

    # ceph fs new ocs-storagecluster-cephfilesystem ocs-storagecluster-cephfilesystem-metadata ocs-storagecluster-cephfilesystem-data0 --force
    # ceph fs reset ocs-storagecluster-cephfilesystem --yes-i-really-mean-it
  4. Replace the MDS deployments.

    # oc replace --force -f oc_get_deployment.rook-ceph-mds-ocs-storagecluster-cephfilesystem-a.yaml
    # oc replace --force -f oc_get_deployment.rook-ceph-mds-ocs-storagecluster-cephfilesystem-b.yaml
  5. Scale up the rook-ceph-operator and ocs-operator deployments.

    # oc scale deployment ocs-operator --replicas=1 -n openshift-storage
  6. Check the CephFS status.

    # ceph fs status

    The status should be active.

Important
  • If the application pods attached to the deployments which were using the CephFS Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) get stuck in CreateContainerError state post restoring the CephFS, restart the application pods.

    # oc -n <namespace> delete pods <cephfs-app-pod>
    <namespace>
    Is the project namespace
    <cephfs-app-pod>
    Is the name of the CephFS application pod
  • If new CephFS or RBD PVCs are not getting bound, restart all the pods related to Ceph CSI.

10.2. Restoring the Multicloud Object Gateway

If the Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) is not in the active state, and the backingstore and bucketclass is not in the Ready state, you need to restart all the MCG related pods, and check the MCG status to confirm that the MCG is back up and running.

Procedure

  1. Restart all the pods related to the MCG.

    # oc delete pods <noobaa-operator> -n openshift-storage
    # oc delete pods <noobaa-core> -n openshift-storage
    # oc delete pods <noobaa-endpoint> -n openshift-storage
    # oc delete pods <noobaa-db> -n openshift-storage
    <noobaa-operator>
    Is the name of the MCG operator
    <noobaa-core>
    Is the name of the MCG core pod
    <noobaa-endpoint>
    Is the name of the MCG endpoint
    <noobaa-db>
    Is the name of the MCG db pod
  2. If the RADOS Object Gateway (RGW) is configured, restart the pod.

    # oc delete pods <rgw-pod> -n openshift-storage
    <rgw-pod>
    Is the name of the RGW pod

Chapter 11. Enabling the Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation console plugin

Enable the console plugin option if it was not automatically enabled after you installed the OpenShift Data Foundation Operator. The console plugin provides a custom interface that is included in the Web Console. You can enable the console plugin option either from the graphical user interface (GUI) or command-line interface.

Prerequisites

  • You have administrative access to the OpenShift Web Console.
  • OpenShift Data Foundation Operator is installed and running in the openshift-storage namespace.

Procedure

From user interface
  1. In the OpenShift Web Console, click Operators → Installed Operators to view all the installed operators.
  2. Ensure that the Project selected is openshift-storage.
  3. Click on the OpenShift Data Foundation operator.
  4. Enable the console plugin option.

    1. In the Details tab, click the pencil icon under Console plugin.
    2. Select Enable, and click Save.
From command-line interface
  • Execute the following command to enable the console plugin option:

    $ oc patch console.operator cluster -n openshift-storage --type json -p '[{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/plugins", "value": ["odf-console"]}]'

Verification steps

  • After the console plugin option is enabled, a pop-up with a message, Web console update is available appears on the GUI. Click Refresh web console from this pop-up for the console changes to reflect.

    • In the Web Console, navigate to Storage and verify if OpenShift Data Foundation is available.
