You _must_ set these configuration options before deployment or the charm will not work: +Your config.yaml needs to provide the monitor-hosts and fsid options like below: - fsid: - uuid specific to a ceph cluster used to ensure that different - clusters don't get mixed up - use `uuid` to generate one. +`config.yaml`: +```yaml +ceph-proxy: + monitor-hosts: IP_ADDRESS:PORT IP ADDRESS:PORT + fsid: FSID +``` - monitor-secret: - a ceph generated key used by the daemons that manage to cluster - to control security.

This is only supported with Juju 2.0 and above. - -Network traffic can be bound to specific network spaces using the public (front-side) and cluster (back-side) bindings: - - juju deploy ceph-mon --bind "public=data-space cluster=cluster-space" - -alternatively these can also be provided as part of a Juju native bundle configuration: - - ceph-mon: - charm: cs:xenial/ceph-mon - num_units: 1 - bindings: - public: data-space - cluster: cluster-space - -Please refer to the [Ceph Network Reference](http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rados/configuration/network-config-ref) for details on how using these options effects network traffic within a Ceph deployment. - -**NOTE:** Spaces must be configured in the underlying provider prior to attempting to use them. - -**NOTE**: Existing deployments using ceph-*-network configuration options will continue to function; these options are preferred over any network space binding provided if set. +This charm noes NOT insert itself between the clusters, but merely makes the external cluster available through Juju's environment by exposing the same relations that the existing ceph charms do. # Contact Information ## Authors -- Paul Collins , -- James Page +- Chris MacNaughton -Report bugs on [Launchpad](http://bugs.launchpad.net/charms/+source/ceph/+filebug) +Report bugs on [Launchpad](http://bugs.launchpad.net/charms/+source/ceph-proxy/+filebug) ## Ceph - [Ceph website](http://ceph.com) - [Ceph mailing lists](http://ceph.com/resources/mailing-list-irc/) - [Ceph bug tracker](http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/ceph) - -# Technical Footnotes - -This charm uses the new-style Ceph deployment as reverse-engineered from the -Chef cookbook at https://github.com/ceph/ceph-cookbooks, although we selected -a different strategy to form the monitor cluster.
