Description of problem: I need to manually start OSDs after installation to bring a cluster up Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 7.1, Ceph 1.3 How reproducible: 100% of the time. Steps to Reproduce: Bring up a ceph cluster using ceph-deploy run ceph osd tree after adding the OSDs Actual results: All the OSDs are marked down Expected results: OSDs should not be down. Additional info: Run: sudo service ceph -a start osd after that and the cluster comes up fine.
This may also be the problem seen in 1320574
Upon further review, the following does not seem to start an osd: ceph-deploy disk zap magna037:sdb ceph-deploy osd create magna037:sdb But the following does start the osd: ceph-deploy disk zap magna037:sdb ceph-deploy osd prepare magna037:sdb ceph-deploy osd activate magna037:sdb1:sdb2
it sounds like an issue in ceph-deploy.
@Warren, I think the ceph-deploy behavior on 7.N is expected. "create" is not used and "prepare + activate" is what our docs say: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-ceph-storage/version-1.2.3/red-hat-ceph-storage-123-installation-guide-for-rhel-x86-64/
Warren, Do Alfredo's suggestions in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1322551#c5 resolve your issue?
The prepare and activate combination works.
