High-level workflow of Ceph OSD or node removal¶
The Ceph LCM automated operations such as Ceph OSD or Ceph node removal are
performed by creating a corresponding KaaSCephOperationRequest CR that
creates separate CephOsdRemoveRequest requests. It allows for automated
removal of healthy or non-healthy Ceph OSDs from a Ceph cluster and covers the
following scenarios:
Reducing hardware - all Ceph OSDs are up/in but you want to decrease the number of Ceph OSDs by reducing the number of disks or hosts.
Hardware issues. For example, if a host unexpectedly goes down and will not be restored, or if a disk on a host goes down and requires replacement.
This section describes the KaaSCephOperationRequest CR creation workflow,
specification, and request status.
