High-level workflow of Ceph OSD or node removal¶
Warning
This procedure is valid for MOSK clusters that use the unsupported KaaSCephCluster custom resource (CR) instead of the
MiraCeph CR that is available since MOSK 25.2 as a new Ceph configuration
entrypoint.
For the equivalent procedure with the MiraCeph CR, refer to the following
section:
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.
For step-by-step procedures, refer to Automated Ceph LCM.
