Description Sachin Punadikar 2025-04-22 14:24:31 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2359515 +++

Description of problem: Request ganesha support to support a config option to specify a specific address for monitoring binding. Currently it defaults to INADDR_ANY which prevent to reuse of the same monitoring port across multiple nfs clusters https://github.com/nfs-ganesha/nfs-ganesha/blob/V6-stable/src/monitoring/exposer.cc#L200


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 8.0z3


How reproducible: Attempt to provision multiple ganesha clusters with the same monitoring port.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Provision ganesha with monitoring port 9837
2. Provision another ganesha with the same monitoring port 9837
3.

Actual results:
The second ganesha cluster fails to start


Expected results:
Allow an option to specify a bind address for the monitoring service so the same port under unique addresses can bind successfully

Initially there was discussion on cephadm related changes.
The main issue is how to mention the IP address for listening monitoring port.
cephadm can not pick IP address on its own. Someone need to provide the IP address for config parameter "Monitoring_Addr".
Hence cephadm changes are on hold. Need clarification from IBM Cloud team.

Moving the RFEs out of 9.0 as they were not prioritized by PMs and engineering doesn't have bandwidth to take them up.
