The process to generate a valid CephExternalMultiConfig entry [1] from config-download when deploying storage on the Edge is cumbersome and error prone. As per bz 1808424 we can (and should) validate the entry syntactically, but there should also be a tool to generate to generate a yaml file with the necessary entries itself. Producing such a tool should be tracked in this BZ. The tool would follow the same pattern as the work done for bz 1766711 [1] CephExternalMultiConfig: - cluster: 'ceph2' fsid: 'af25554b-42f6-4d2b-9b9b-d08a1132d3e8' external_cluster_mon_ips: '172.18.0.5,172.18.0.6,172.18.0.7' keys: - name: "client.openstack" caps: mgr: "allow *" mon: "profile rbd" osd: "osd: profile rbd pool=volumes, profile rbd pool=backups, profile rbd pool=vms, profile rbd pool=images" key: "AQCwmeRcAAAAABAA6SQU/bGqFjlfLro5KxrB1Q==" mode: "0600" dashboard_enabled: false - cluster: 'ceph3' fsid: 'e2cba068-5f14-4b0f-b047-acf375c0004a' external_cluster_mon_ips: '172.18.0.8,172.18.0.9,172.18.0.10' keys: - name: "client.openstack" caps: mgr: "allow *" mon: "profile rbd" osd: "osd: profile rbd pool=volumes, profile rbd pool=backups, profile rbd pool=vms, profile rbd pool=images" key: "AQCwmeRcAAAAABAA6SQU/bGqFjlfLro5KxrB2Q==" mode: "0600" dashboard_enabled: false
I think this is a usability issue we should try to address in 16.1.z2
