hi John, thank you for the reply on this.
>From further experimentation, it is the ceph-deploy v1.2.6 package for
Cuttlefish that is broken or incorrectly defined/packaged. I cleaned
up the broken packages and tried again multiple times with same
results. You can install ceph-deploy from the ceph repo for
Cuttlefish still, but as mentioned previously it is only v1.0-1 and
full of known issues.
For fun I reset my repo links for:
deb http://ceph.com/debian-dumpling/ raring main
deb http://ceph.com/packages/ceph-extras/debian/ raring main
to check the dumpling version of ceph-deploy ... and it installed
without problem. The differece being that the ceph-deploy package in
the ceph-extras has a specific python-pushy package called
'python-pushy_0.5.3-1raring.ceph_amd64.deb', apparently put together
by ceph folks for deployment with ceph-deploy v1.2.6 w/ Dumpling &
Raring. The problem is the same was not done for Cuttlefish &
Raring. So trying to install ceph-deploy for use with Cuttlefish(?)
or at least on Raring is a waste of time.
So even though I had not planned to, I am going with Dumpling release.
But I have ran into additional problems with ceph-deploy v1.2.6 and
cannot use 'ceph-deploy install' to install ceph on my ceph nodes.
It tries to install the ceph release key as one of the first steps and
hangs. From further experimentation, it is hanging because the
command to retrieve the release key and add it is missing a 'sudo'
command in it for the 'apt-key add' part of the command:
Running command: wget -q -O-
'https://ceph.com/git/?p=ceph.git;a=blob_plain;f=keys/release.asc' |
apt-key add –
When you reissue the above command with a 'sudo' preceding the
'apt-key add -' it works fine. So I ended up installing ceph bits on
all my ceph nodes by hand.
I could now create a 'new' cluster with ceph-deploy and thought I
would try using a cluster name different than the default of 'ceph' to
see how that works, I saw an e-mail saying you can have multiple
clusters on same h/w and wanted to try it. But it seems that
ceph-deploy doesn't like working with clusters that aren't using the
defalt cluster name of 'ceph'. When I tried to add MONs it couldn't
find 'ceph.conf' because it was named '<cluster-name>.conf' and
errored out.
SO there are still issues with ceph-deploy that cause a lot of
investigation and workaround time & effort and still have to accept
its limitations. The bad part of this is all the current online
documentation is being changed to reference use of ceph-deploy only
and any documentation of how to do tasks without ceph-deploy (to get
around ceph-deploy limitations) is missing.
