I recently upgraded my existing cluster to Pacific and cephadm, and need to reconfigure all the (rotational) OSDs to use NVMe drives for db storage. I think I have a reasonably good idea how that's going to work, but the use of db_slots and limit in the OSD service specification have me scratching my head.
Question 1: Does db_slots actually work in the latest version of Pacific? It's listed here https://docs.ceph.com/en/pacific/cephadm/osd/#additional-options but in the advanced case section https://docs.ceph.com/en/pacific/cephadm/osd/#the-advanced-case there's still a note saying it's not implemented. Question 2: If db_slots still *doesn't* work, is there a coherent way to divide up a solid state DB drive for use by a bunch of OSDs when the OSDs may not all be created in one go? At first I thought it was related to limit, but re-reading the advanced specification for a 4th time, I don't think that's the case. Of course this question is moot if db_slots actually works. Any advice or information would be appreciated. ----- Edward Huyer Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences Rochester Institute of Technology Golisano 70-2373 152 Lomb Memorial Drive Rochester, NY 14623 585-475-6651 erh...@rit.edu<mailto:erh...@rit.edu> Obligatory Legalese: The information transmitted, including attachments, is intended only for the person(s) or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
