Description of problem: Existing product docs should mention the following limitations of customizing Ceph OSDs using hiera: 1. OSPd will not create partitions on the journal disk. Partitions must be manually created by user before installing Ceph storage servers. 2. OSPd will only create Ceph OSDs and journals on partitions with GPT disklabels. These must also be configured prior to hiera customization. Example: parted /dev/sdb1 mklabel gpt Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-rdomanager-oscplugin-0.0.8-44.el7ost.noarch Additional info: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_OpenStack_Platform/7/html/Director_Installation_and_Usage/sect-Advanced-Scenario_3_Using_the_CLI_to_Create_an_Advanced_Overcloud_with_Ceph_Nodes.html#sect-Advanced-Configuring_Ceph_Storage
Assigning to Dan for review.
This has not been pushed live: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_OpenStack_Platform/7/html/Director_Installation_and_Usage/sect-Advanced-Scenario_3_Using_the_CLI_to_Create_an_Advanced_Overcloud_with_Ceph_Nodes.html#sect-Advanced-Configuring_Ceph_Storage There is now a note at the end of this section that reads: == Important == The director does not create partitions on the journal disk. Manually create the journal partitions before installing Ceph storage servers. The Ceph Storage OSDs and journals partitions require GPT disk labels, which you also configure prior to customization. For example, use the following command on the potential Ceph Storage host to create a GPT disk label for a disk or partition: # parted [device] mklabel gpt Jacob, how does this suit your request? Are there any further changes you need to the Ceph config?
No further feedback for a month. Closing this bug.
