7.3. Resolving cluster alerts


There is a finite set of possible health alerts that a Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster can raise that show in the OpenShift Data Foundation user interface. These are defined as health alerts 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 alert for more information and troubleshooting.

Impact

Critical

Diagnosis

pod status: pending
  1. Check for resource issues, pending Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs), node assignment, and kubelet problems:

    $ oc project openshift-storage
    $ oc get pod | grep rook-ceph
  2. Set MYPOD as the variable for the pod that is identified as the problem pod:

    # Examine the output for a rook-ceph that is in the pending state, not running or not ready
    MYPOD=<pod_name>
    <pod_name>
    Specify the name of the pod that is identified as the problem pod.
  3. Look for the resource limitations or pending PVCs. Otherwise, check for the node assignment:

    $ oc get pod/${MYPOD} -o wide
pod status: NOT pending, running, but NOT ready
  • Check the readiness probe:

    $ oc describe pod/${MYPOD}
pod status: NOT pending, but NOT running
  • Check for application or image issues:

    $ oc logs pod/${MYPOD}
    重要
    • If a node was assigned, check the kubelet on the node.
    • If the basic health of the running pods, node affinity and resource availability on the nodes are verified, run the Ceph tools to get the status of the storage components.

Mitigation

Debugging log information
  • This step is optional. Run the following command to gather the debugging information for the Ceph cluster:

7.3.5. CephClusterWarningState

Meaning

This alert reflects that the storage cluster has been in a warning state for an unacceptable amount of time. While the storage operations will continue to function in this state, it is recommended to fix the errors so that the cluster does not get into an error state. Check for other alerts that might have triggered prior to this one and troubleshoot those alerts first.

Impact

High

Diagnosis

pod status: pending
  1. Check for resource issues, pending Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs), node assignment, and kubelet problems:

    $ oc project openshift-storage
    oc get pod | grep {ceph-component}
  2. Set MYPOD as the variable for the pod that is identified as the problem pod:

    # Examine the output for a {ceph-component}  that is in the pending state, not running or not ready
    MYPOD=<pod_name>
    <pod_name>
    Specify the name of the pod that is identified as the problem pod.
  3. Look for the resource limitations or pending PVCs. Otherwise, check for the node assignment:

    $ oc get pod/${MYPOD} -o wide
pod status: NOT pending, running, but NOT ready
  • Check the readiness probe:

    $ oc describe pod/${MYPOD}
pod status: NOT pending, but NOT running
  • Check for application or image issues:

    $ oc logs pod/${MYPOD}
    重要

    If a node was assigned, check the kubelet on the node.

Mitigation

  • This step is optional. Run the following command to gather the debugging information for the Ceph cluster:
$ oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/odf4/odf-must-gather-rhel9:v4.15

7.3.6. CephDataRecoveryTakingTooLong

Meaning

Data recovery is slow. Check whether all the Object Storage Devices (OSDs) are up and running.

Impact

High

Diagnosis

pod status: pending
  1. Check for resource issues, pending Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs), node assignment, and kubelet problems:

    $ oc project openshift-storage
    oc get pod | grep rook-ceph-osd
  2. Set MYPOD as the variable for the pod that is identified as the problem pod:

    # Examine the output for a {ceph-component}  that is in the pending state, not running or not ready
    MYPOD=<pod_name>
    <pod_name>
    Specify the name of the pod that is identified as the problem pod.
  3. Look for the resource limitations or pending PVCs. Otherwise, check for the node assignment:

    $ oc get pod/${MYPOD} -o wide
pod status: NOT pending, running, but NOT ready
  • Check the readiness probe:

    $ oc describe pod/${MYPOD}
pod status: NOT pending, but NOT running
  • Check for application or image issues:

    $ oc logs pod/${MYPOD}
    重要

    If a node was assigned, check the kubelet on the node.

Debugging log information
  • This step is optional. Run the following command to gather the debugging information for the Ceph cluster:
$ oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/odf4/odf-must-gather-rhel9:v4.15

7.3.7. CephMdsCacheUsageHigh

Meaning

When the storage metadata service (MDS) cannot keep its cache usage under the target threshold specified by mds_health_cache_threshold, or 150% of the cache limit set by mds_cache_memory_limit, the MDS sends a health alert to the monitors indicating the cache is too large. As a result, the MDS related operations become slow.

Impact

High

Diagnosis

The MDS tries to stay under a reservation of the mds_cache_memory_limit by trimming unused metadata in its cache and recalling cached items in the client caches. It is possible for the MDS to exceed this limit due to slow recall from clients as a result of multiple clients accesing the files.

Mitigation

Make sure you have enough memory provisioned for MDS cache. Memory resources for the MDS pods need to be updated in the ocs-storageCluster in order to increase the mds_cache_memory_limit. Run the following command to set the memory of MDS pods, for example, 16GB:

$ oc patch -n openshift-storage storagecluster ocs-storagecluster \
    --type merge \
    --patch '{"spec": {"resources": {"mds": {"limits": {"memory": "16Gi"},"requests": {"memory": "16Gi"}}}}}'

OpenShift Data Foundation automatically sets mds_cache_memory_limit to half of the MDS pod memory limit. If the memory is set to 8GB using the previous command, then the operator sets the MDS cache memory limit to 4GB.

7.3.8. CephMdsCpuUsageHigh

Meaning

The storage metadata service (MDS) serves filesystem metadata. The MDS is crucial for any file creation, rename, deletion, and update operations. MDS by default is allocated two or three CPUs. This does not cause issues as long as there are not too many metadata operations. When the metadata operation load increases enough to trigger this alert, it means the default CPU allocation is unable to cope with load. You need to increase the CPU allocation or run multiple active MDS servers.

Impact

High

Diagnosis

Click Workloads Pods. Select the corresponding MDS pod and click on the Metrics tab. There you will see the allocated and used CPU. By default, the alert is fired if the used CPU is 67% of allocated CPU for 6 hours. If this is the case, follow the steps in the mitigation section.

Mitigation

You need to either do a vertical or a horizontal scaling of CPU. For more information, see the Description and Runbook section of the alert.

Use the following command to set the number of allocated CPU for MDS, for example, 8:

oc patch -n openshift-storage storagecluster ocs-storagecluster \
    --type merge \
    --patch '{"spec": {"resources": {"mds": {"limits": {"cpu": "8"},
    "requests": {"cpu": "8"}}}}}'

In order to run multiple active MDS servers, use the following command:

oc patch -n openshift-storage storagecluster ocs-storagecluster\
    --type merge \
    --patch '{"spec": {"managedResources": {"cephFilesystems":{"activeMetadataServers": 2}}}}'

Make sure you have enough CPU provisioned for MDS depending on the load.

重要

Always increase the activeMetadataServers by 1. The scaling of activeMetadataServers works only if you have more than one PV. If there is only one PV that is causing CPU load, look at increasing the CPU resource as described above.

7.3.9. CephMdsMissingReplicas

Meaning

Minimum required replicas for the storage metadata service (MDS) are not available. MDS is responsible for filing metadata. Degradation of the MDS service can affect how the storage cluster works (related to the CephFS storage class) and should be fixed as soon as possible.

Impact

High

Diagnosis

pod status: pending
  1. Check for resource issues, pending Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs), node assignment, and kubelet problems:

    $ oc project openshift-storage
    oc get pod | grep rook-ceph-mds
  2. Set MYPOD as the variable for the pod that is identified as the problem pod:

    # Examine the output for a {ceph-component}  that is in the pending state, not running or not ready
    MYPOD=<pod_name>
    <pod_name>
    Specify the name of the pod that is identified as the problem pod.
  3. Look for the resource limitations or pending PVCs. Otherwise, check for the node assignment:

    $ oc get pod/${MYPOD} -o wide

7.3.10. CephMgrIsAbsent

Meaning

Not having a Ceph manager running the monitoring of the cluster. Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) creation and deletion requests should be resolved as soon as possible.

Impact

High

Diagnosis

  • Verify that the rook-ceph-mgr pod is failing, and restart if necessary. If the Ceph mgr pod restart fails, follow the general pod troubleshooting to resolve the issue.

    • Verify that the Ceph mgr pod is failing:

      $ oc get pods | grep mgr
    • Describe the Ceph mgr pod for more details:

      $ oc describe pods/<pod_name>
      <pod_name>
      Specify the rook-ceph-mgr pod name from the previous step.

      Analyze the errors related to resource issues.

    • Delete the pod, and wait for the pod to restart:

      $ oc get pods | grep mgr

7.3.12. CephMonHighNumberOfLeaderChanges

Meaning

In a Ceph cluster there is a redundant set of monitor pods that store critical information about the storage cluster. Monitor pods synchronize periodically to obtain information about the storage cluster. The first monitor pod to get the most updated information becomes the leader, and the other monitor pods will start their synchronization process after asking the leader. A problem in network connection or another kind of problem in one or more monitor pods produces an unusual change of the leader. This situation can negatively affect the storage cluster performance.

Impact

Medium

重要

Check for any network issues. If there is a network issue, you need to escalate to the OpenShift Data Foundation team before you proceed with any of the following troubleshooting steps.

Diagnosis

  1. Print the logs of the affected monitor pod to gather more information about the issue:

    $ oc logs <rook-ceph-mon-X-yyyy> -n openshift-storage
    <rook-ceph-mon-X-yyyy>
    Specify the name of the affected monitor pod.
  2. Alternatively, use the Openshift Web console to open the logs of the affected monitor pod. More information about possible causes is reflected in the log.
  3. Perform the general pod troubleshooting steps:

    pod status: pending
  4. Check for resource issues, pending Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs), node assignment, and kubelet problems:

    $ oc project openshift-storage
    oc get pod | grep {ceph-component}
  5. Set MYPOD as the variable for the pod that is identified as the problem pod:

    # Examine the output for a {ceph-component}  that is in the pending state, not running or not ready
    MYPOD=<pod_name>
    <pod_name>

7.3.13. CephMonQuorumAtRisk

Meaning

Multiple MONs work together to provide redundancy. Each of the MONs keeps a copy of the metadata. The cluster is deployed with 3 MONs, and requires 2 or more MONs to be up and running for quorum and for the storage operations to run. If quorum is lost, access to data is at risk.

Impact

High

Diagnosis

Restore the Ceph MON Quorum. For more information, see Restoring ceph-monitor quorum in OpenShift Data Foundation in the Troubleshooting guide. If the restoration of the Ceph MON Quorum fails, follow the general pod troubleshooting to resolve the issue.

pod status: pending
  1. Check for resource issues, pending Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs), node assignment, and kubelet problems:

    $ oc project openshift-storage
    oc get pod | grep rook-ceph-mon
  2. Set MYPOD as the variable for the pod that is identified as the problem pod:

    # Examine the output for a {ceph-component}  that is in the pending state, not running or not ready
    MYPOD=<pod_name>
    <pod_name>
    Specify the name of the pod that is identified as the problem pod.
  3. Look for the resource limitations or pending PVCs. Otherwise, check for the node assignment:

7.3.15. CephMonVersionMismatch

Meaning

Typically this alert triggers during an upgrade that is taking a long time.

Impact

Medium

Diagnosis

Check the ocs-operator subscription status and the operator pod health to check if an operator upgrade is in progress.

  1. Check the ocs-operator subscription health.

    $ oc get sub $(oc get pods -n openshift-storage | grep -v ocs-operator) -n openshift-storage -o json | jq .status.conditions

    The status condition types are CatalogSourcesUnhealthy, InstallPlanMissing, InstallPlanPending, and InstallPlanFailed. The status for each type should be False.

    Example output:

    [
      {
        "lastTransitionTime": "2021-01-26T19:21:37Z",
        "message": "all available catalogsources are healthy",
        "reason": "AllCatalogSourcesHealthy",
        "status": "False",
        "type": "CatalogSourcesUnhealthy"
      }
    ]

    The example output shows a False status for type CatalogSourcesUnHealthly, which means that the catalog sources are healthy.

  2. Check the OCS operator pod status to see if there is an OCS operator upgrading in progress.

    $ oc get pod -n openshift-storage | grep ocs-operator OCSOP=$(oc get pod -n openshift-storage -o custom-columns=POD:.metadata.name --no-headers | grep ocs-operator) echo $OCSOP oc get pod/${OCSOP} -n openshift-storage oc describe pod/${OCSOP} -n openshift-storage

    If you determine that the `ocs-operator`is in progress, wait for 5 mins and this alert should resolve itself. If you have waited or see a different error status condition, continue troubleshooting.

Mitigation

Debugging log information

7.3.16. CephNodeDown

Meaning

A node running Ceph pods is down. While storage operations will continue to function as Ceph is designed to deal with a node failure, it is recommended to resolve the issue to minimize the risk of another node going down and affecting storage functions.

Impact

Medium

Diagnosis

  1. List all the pods that are running and failing:

    oc -n openshift-storage get pods
    重要

    Ensure that you meet the OpenShift Data Foundation resource requirements so that the Object Storage Device (OSD) pods are scheduled on the new node. This may take a few minutes as the Ceph cluster recovers data for the failing but now recovering OSD. To watch this recovery in action, ensure that the OSD pods are correctly placed on the new worker node.

  2. Check if the OSD pods that were previously failing are now running:

    oc -n openshift-storage get pods

    If the previously failing OSD pods have not been scheduled, use the describe command and check the events for reasons the pods were not rescheduled.

  3. Describe the events for the failing OSD pod:

    oc -n openshift-storage get pods | grep osd
  4. Find the one or more failing OSD pods:

    oc -n openshift-storage describe pods/<osd_podname_ from_the_ previous step>

    In the events section look for the failure reasons, such as the resources are not being met.

    In addition, you can use the rook-ceph-toolbox to watch the recovery. This step is optional, but is helpful for large Ceph clusters. To access the toolbox, run the following command:

    TOOLS_POD=$(oc get pods -n openshift-storage -l app=rook-ceph-tools -o name)
    oc rsh -n openshift-storage $TOOLS_POD

    From the rsh command prompt, run the following, and watch for "recovery" under the io section:

    ceph status
  5. Determine if there are failed nodes.

    1. Get the list of worker nodes, and check for the node status:

      oc get nodes --selector='node-role.kubernetes.io/worker','!node-role.kubernetes.io/infra'
    2. Describe the node which is of the NotReady status to get more information about the failure:

      oc describe node <node_name>

7.3.17. CephOSDCriticallyFull

Meaning

One of the Object Storage Devices (OSDs) is critically full. Expand the cluster immediately.

Impact

High

Diagnosis

Deleting data to free up storage space
You can delete data, and the cluster will resolve the alert through self healing processes.
重要

This is only applicable to OpenShift Data Foundation clusters that are near or full but not in read-only mode. Read-only mode prevents any changes that include deleting data, that is, deletion of Persistent Volume Claim (PVC), Persistent Volume (PV) or both.

Expanding the storage capacity
Current storage size is less than 1 TB

You must first assess the ability to expand. For every 1 TB of storage added, the cluster needs to have 3 nodes each with a minimum available 2 vCPUs and 8 GiB memory.

You can increase the storage capacity to 4 TB via the add-on and the cluster will resolve the alert through self healing processes. If the minimum vCPU and memory resource requirements are not met, you need to add 3 additional worker nodes to the cluster.

Mitigation

  • If your current storage size is equal to 4 TB, contact Red Hat support.
  • Optional: Run the following command to gather the debugging information for the Ceph cluster:

    $ oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/odf4/odf-must-gather-rhel9:v4.15

7.3.18. CephOSDDiskNotResponding

Meaning

A disk device is not responding. Check whether all the Object Storage Devices (OSDs) are up and running.

Impact

Medium

Diagnosis

pod status: pending
  1. Check for resource issues, pending Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs), node assignment, and kubelet problems:

    $ oc project openshift-storage
    $ oc get pod | grep rook-ceph
  2. Set MYPOD as the variable for the pod that is identified as the problem pod:

    # Examine the output for a rook-ceph that is in the pending state, not running or not ready
    MYPOD=<pod_name>
    <pod_name>
    Specify the name of the pod that is identified as the problem pod.
  3. Look for the resource limitations or pending PVCs. Otherwise, check for the node assignment:

    $ oc get pod/${MYPOD} -o wide
pod status: NOT pending, running, but NOT ready
  • Check the readiness probe:

    $ oc describe pod/${MYPOD}
pod status: NOT pending, but NOT running
  • Check for application or image issues:

    $ oc logs pod/${MYPOD}
    重要
    • If a node was assigned, check the kubelet on the node.
    • If the basic health of the running pods, node affinity and resource availability on the nodes are verified, run the Ceph tools to get the status of the storage components.

Mitigation

Debugging log information
  • This step is optional. Run the following command to gather the debugging information for the Ceph cluster:

    $ oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/odf4/odf-must-gather-rhel9:v4.15

7.3.19. CephOSDDiskUnavailable

Meaning

A disk device is not accessible on one of the hosts and its corresponding Object Storage Device (OSD) is marked out by the Ceph cluster. This alert is raised when a Ceph node fails to recover within 10 minutes.

Impact

High

Diagnosis

Determine the failed node
  1. Get the list of worker nodes, and check for the node status:
oc get nodes --selector='node-role.kubernetes.io/worker','!node-role.kubernetes.io/infra'
  1. Describe the node which is of NotReady status to get more information on the failure:

    oc describe node <node_name>

7.3.20. CephOSDFlapping

Meaning

A storage daemon has restarted 5 times in the last 5 minutes. Check the pod events or Ceph status to find out the cause.

Impact

High

Diagnosis

Follow the steps in the Flapping OSDs section of the Red Hat Ceph Storage Troubleshooting Guide.

Alternatively, follow the steps for general pod troubleshooting:

pod status: pending
  1. Check for resource issues, pending Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs), node assignment, and kubelet problems:

    $ oc project openshift-storage
    $ oc get pod | grep rook-ceph
  2. Set MYPOD as the variable for the pod that is identified as the problem pod:

    # Examine the output for a rook-ceph that is in the pending state, not running or not ready
    MYPOD=<pod_name>
    <pod_name>
    Specify the name of the pod that is identified as the problem pod.
  3. Look for the resource limitations or pending PVCs. Otherwise, check for the node assignment:

    $ oc get pod/${MYPOD} -o wide
pod status: NOT pending, running, but NOT ready
  • Check the readiness probe:

    $ oc describe pod/${MYPOD}
pod status: NOT pending, but NOT running
  • Check for application or image issues:

    $ oc logs pod/${MYPOD}
    重要
    • If a node was assigned, check the kubelet on the node.
    • If the basic health of the running pods, node affinity and resource availability on the nodes are verified, run the Ceph tools to get the status of the storage components.

Mitigation

Debugging log information
  • This step is optional. Run the following command to gather the debugging information for the Ceph cluster:

    $ oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/odf4/odf-must-gather-rhel9:v4.15

7.3.21. CephOSDNearFull

Meaning

Utilization of back-end storage device Object Storage Device (OSD) has crossed 75% on a host.

Impact

High

Mitigation

Free up some space in the cluster, expand the storage cluster, or contact Red Hat support. For more information on scaling storage, see the Scaling storage guide.

7.3.22. CephOSDSlowOps

Meaning

An Object Storage Device (OSD) with slow requests is every OSD that is not able to service the I/O operations per second (IOPS) in the queue within the time defined by the osd_op_complaint_time parameter. By default, this parameter is set to 30 seconds.

Impact

Medium

Diagnosis

More information about the slow requests can be obtained using the Openshift console.

  1. Access the OSD pod terminal, and run the following commands:

    $ ceph daemon osd.<id> ops
    $ ceph daemon osd.<id> dump_historic_ops
    注記

    The number of the OSD is seen in the pod name. For example, in rook-ceph-osd-0-5d86d4d8d4-zlqkx, <0> is the OSD.

Mitigation

The main causes of the OSDs having slow requests are:

  • Problems with the underlying hardware or infrastructure, such as, disk drives, hosts, racks, or network switches. Use the Openshift monitoring console to find the alerts or errors about cluster resources. This can give you an idea about the root cause of the slow operations in the OSD.
  • Problems with the network. These problems are usually connected with flapping OSDs. See the Flapping OSDs section of the Red Hat Ceph Storage Troubleshooting Guide
  • If it is a network issue, escalate to the OpenShift Data Foundation team
  • System load. Use the Openshift console to review the metrics of the OSD pod and the node which is running the OSD. Adding or assigning more resources can be a possible solution.

7.3.23. CephOSDVersionMismatch

Meaning

Typically this alert triggers during an upgrade that is taking a long time.

Impact

Medium

Diagnosis

Check the ocs-operator subscription status and the operator pod health to check if an operator upgrade is in progress.

  1. Check the ocs-operator subscription health.

    $ oc get sub $(oc get pods -n openshift-storage | grep -v ocs-operator) -n openshift-storage -o json | jq .status.conditions

    The status condition types are CatalogSourcesUnhealthy, InstallPlanMissing, InstallPlanPending, and InstallPlanFailed. The status for each type should be False.

    Example output:

    [
      {
        "lastTransitionTime": "2021-01-26T19:21:37Z",
        "message": "all available catalogsources are healthy",
        "reason": "AllCatalogSourcesHealthy",
        "status": "False",
        "type": "CatalogSourcesUnhealthy"
      }
    ]

    The example output shows a False status for type CatalogSourcesUnHealthly, which means that the catalog sources are healthy.

  2. Check the OCS operator pod status to see if there is an OCS operator upgrading in progress.

    $ oc get pod -n openshift-storage | grep ocs-operator OCSOP=$(oc get pod -n openshift-storage -o custom-columns=POD:.metadata.name --no-headers | grep ocs-operator) echo $OCSOP oc get pod/${OCSOP} -n openshift-storage oc describe pod/${OCSOP} -n openshift-storage

    If you determine that the `ocs-operator`is in progress, wait for 5 mins and this alert should resolve itself. If you have waited or see a different error status condition, continue troubleshooting.

7.3.24. CephPGRepairTakingTooLong

Meaning

Self-healing operations are taking too long.

Impact

High

Diagnosis

Check for inconsistent Placement Groups (PGs), and repair them. For more information, see the Red Hat Knowledgebase solution Handle Inconsistent Placement Groups in Ceph.

7.3.25. CephPoolQuotaBytesCriticallyExhausted

Meaning

One or more pools has reached, or is very close to reaching, its quota. The threshold to trigger this error condition is controlled by the mon_pool_quota_crit_threshold configuration option.

Impact

High

Mitigation

Adjust the pool quotas. Run the following commands to fully remove or adjust the pool quotas up or down:

ceph osd pool set-quota <pool> max_bytes <bytes>
ceph osd pool set-quota <pool> max_objects <objects>

Setting the quota value to 0 will disable the quota.

7.3.26. CephPoolQuotaBytesNearExhaustion

Meaning

One or more pools is approaching a configured fullness threshold. One threshold that can trigger this warning condition is the mon_pool_quota_warn_threshold configuration option.

Impact

High

Mitigation

Adjust the pool quotas. Run the following commands to fully remove or adjust the pool quotas up or down:

ceph osd pool set-quota <pool> max_bytes <bytes>
ceph osd pool set-quota <pool> max_objects <objects>

Setting the quota value to 0 will disable the quota.

7.3.27. OSDCPULoadHigh

Meaning

OSD is a critical component in Ceph storage, responsible for managing data placement and recovery. High CPU usage in the OSD container suggests increased processing demands, potentially leading to degraded storage performance.

Impact

High

Diagnosis

  1. Navigate to the Kubernetes dashboard or equivalent.
  2. Access the Workloads section and select the relevant pod associated with the OSD alert.
  3. Click the Metrics tab to view CPU metrics for the OSD container.
  4. Verify that the CPU usage exceeds 80% over a significant period (as specified in the alert configuration).

Mitigation

If the OSD CPU usage is consistently high, consider taking the following steps:

  1. Evaluate the overall storage cluster performance and identify the OSDs contributing to high CPU usage.
  2. Increase the number of OSDs in the cluster by adding more new storage devices in the existing nodes or adding new nodes with new storage devices. Review the Scaling storage4 for instructions to help distribute the load and improve overall system performance.

7.3.28. PersistentVolumeUsageCritical
