The wipe-disk script provided in the documentation [1] does not fully clean the disk if the disk was a PV for LVM. When such a disk is cleaned the kernel needs to re-scan it to get the updated information so that it can be added to ceph.

Our team encountered this issue when we repurposed a server that had an LVM partition left over from its previous duty. Here is the wipe_disk code we developed that works for us:

  wipe_disk:
    type: OS::Heat::SoftwareConfig
    properties:
      config: |
        #!/bin/bash
        if [[ $HOSTNAME =~ "cephstorage" ]]; then
        {
          # LVM partitions are always in use by the kernel.  Destroy all of the
          # LVM components here so the disks are not in use and sgdisk and
          # partprobe can do their thing

          # Destroy all the logical volumes
          lvs --noheadings -o lv_name | awk '{print $1}' | while read lv;
          do
              cmd="lvremove -f $lv"
              echo $cmd
              $cmd
          done

          # Destroy all the volume groups
          vgs --noheadings -o vg_name | awk '{print $1}' | while read lvg;
          do
              cmd="vgremove -f $lvg"
              echo $cmd
              $cmd
          done

          # Destroy all the physical volumes
          pvs --noheadings -o pv_name | awk '{print $1}' | while read pv;
          do
              cmd="pvremove -ff $pv"
              echo $cmd
              $cmd
          done

          lsblk -dno NAME,TYPE | \
          while read disk type; do
            # Skip if the device type isn't "disk" or if it's mounted
            [ "${type}" == "disk" ] || continue
            device="/dev/${disk}"
            if grep -q ^${device}[1-9] /proc/mounts; then
              echo "Skipping ${device} because it's mounted"
              continue
            fi
            echo "Partitioning disk: ${disk}"
            sgdisk -og ${device}
            echo
          done
          partprobe
          parted -lm
        } > /root/wipe-disk.txt 2>&1
        fi

Update: Changes in Ironic will affect this BZ. See 1418040 [1] for details we are doing to test this. 

[1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1418040

Upstream change has merged and will be in OSP11 GA, possibly RC1: 

 https://review.openstack.org/#/c/420992

Summary: A disk can be in a variety of states which may cause director to fail when attempting to make the disk a Ceph OSD. In previous releases a user could use a first-boot script to erase the disk and set a GPT label required by Ceph. A new default setting in Ironic will erase the disks when a node is set to available and a change in puppet-ceph will give the disk a GPT label if there is no GPT label on the disk.

New default Ironic behaviour verified: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1418040

Shall we close this as duplicate of 1418040 ?

Alternatively, we could wait for the change in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/420992 to arrive in our package and set the fixed-in flag.
