What happens if you remove nodown? I'd be interested to see what OSDs it thinks are down. My next thought would be tcpdump on the private interface. See if the OSDs are actually managing to connect to each other.

For comparison, when I bring up a cluster of 3 OSDs it goes to HEALTH_OK nearly instantly (definitely under a minute!), so it's probably not just taking awhile.

Does 'ceph osd dump' show the proper public and private IPs?

MDS: I assumed that I'd need to bring up a ceph-mds for my cluster at initial bringup. We also intended to modify the CRUSH map such that it's pool is resident to SSD(s). It is one of the areas of the online docs there doesn't seem to be a lot of info on and I haven't spent a lot of time researching. I'll stop it.

OSD connectivity: The connectivity is good for both 1GE and 10GE. I thought moving to 10GE with nothing else on that net might help with group placement etc and bring up the pages quicker. I've checked 'tcpdump' output on all boxes.

Firewall: Thanks for that one - it's the "basic" I over looked in my ceph learning curve. One of the OSDs had selinux=enforcing -- all others were disabled. Changing that box and the 10 pages in my demo-pool (kept page count very small for sanity) are now 'active+clean'. The pages for the default pools -- data, metadata, rbd -- are still stuck in creating+peering or creating+incomplete. I did have to use manually set 'osd pool default min size = 1' from it's default of 2 for these 3 pools to eliminate a bunch of warnings in the 'ceph health detail' output.

I'm adding the [mon] setting you suggested below and stopping ceph-mds and bringing everything up now.

Why do you have a MDS active? I'd suggest getting rid of that at least until you have everything else working.

I see you've set nodown on the OSDs, did you have problems with the OSDs flapping? Do the OSDs have broken connectivity between themselves? Do you have some kind of firewall interfering here?

I've seen odd issues when the OSDs have broken private networking, you'll get one OSD marking all the other ones down. Adding this to my config helped:

[mon]
mon osd min down reporters = 2

    Hello,

    I've run out of ideas and assume I've overlooked something very
    basic. I've created 2 ceph clusters in the last 2 weeks with
    different OSD HW and private network fabrics -- 1GE and 10GE. I
    have never been able to get the OSDs to come up to the
    'active+clean' state. I have followed your online documentation
    and at this point the only thing I don't think I've done is
    modifying the CRUSH map (although I have been looking into that).
    These are new clusters with no data and only 1 HDD and 1 SSD per
    OSD (24 2.5Ghz cores with 64GB RAM).

    Since the disks are being recycled is there something I need to
    flag to let ceph just create it's mappings, but not scrub for data
    compatibility? I've tried setting the noscrub flag to no effect.

    I also have constant OSD flapping. I've set nodown, but assume
    that is just masking a problem that still occurring.

    Besides the lack of ever reaching 'active+clean' state ceph-mon
    always crashes after leaving it running overnight. The OSDs all
    eventually fill /root with with ceph logs so I regularly have to
    bring everything down Delete logs and restart.

    I have all sorts of output from the ceph.conf; osd boot ouput with
    'debug osd -= 20' and 'debug ms = 1'; ceph --w output; and pretty
    much all of the debug/monitoring suggestions from the online docs
    and 2 weeks of google searches from online references in blogs,
    mailing lists etc.
