This is what the "use_existing" flag is for (on by default). It
short-circuits initialize() which is what actually does the whole
shutdown/creation/startup procedure.
https://github.com/ceph/cbt/blob/master/cluster/ceph.py#L149-L151
That is invoked before shutdown() and make_osds():
https://github.com/ceph/cbt/blob/master/cluster/ceph.py#L159
https://github.com/ceph/cbt/blob/master/cluster/ceph.py#L181
This is how a lot of folks are using cbt now with vstart or to test
existing clusters deployed in the field. When use_existing is disabled,
cbt can build temporary multi-node bare metal test clusters for you by
directly invoking the daemons via pdsh (it actually pre-dates
ceph-deploy/ceph-ansible/etc). The entire OSD structure is created in
/tmp to hopefully convince people that this is only intended to be used
for testing. The code you are seeing to tear down old clusters and
create new ones is for that path. The advantage of this is that cbt has
been very resilient to some of the churn over the years as different
installer methods have come and gone. The downside is that sometimes
there are changes that require updates (for instance cbt created
clusters still use msgr v1, which hopefully will change soon to support
deploying crimson OSDs that require v2).

it can do nothing, that you did not configure ceph to allow it to do ;)
Besides you should never run software from 'unknown' sources in an
environment where it can use 'admin' rights.

Subject: [ceph-users] Ceph benchmark tool (cbt)
Hi all,
I want to benchmark my production cluster with cbt. I read a bit of the
code and I see something strange in it, for example, it's going to
create ceph-osd by it selves (
https://github.com/ceph/cbt/blob/master/cluster/ceph.py#L373) and also
shutdown the whole cluster!! (
https://github.com/ceph/cbt/blob/master/cluster/ceph.py#L212)
Is there any configuration to not do harmful things with the cluster and
for example just test the read_ahead_kb or simply stop some OSDs and
other things that can be reverted and not get the cluster fully down?!
Thanks.
