We have now acquired the Ceph servers identified in T310195: Ceph Data Infrastructure Request and they have been racked in the task {T311869}
This is the 6th subtask in Epic T324660: Install Ceph Cluster for Data Platform Engineering
The purpose of this task is to enable puppet management of the OSDs in the new Ceph cluster.
An OSD is an object storage daemon - In essence, this is one software process that runs for every hard drive or solid-state drive in the cluster.
The new Ceph cluster in question will have:
- 12 OSDs per node in the hdd storage class - each drive is 18 TB in size
- 8 OSDs per node in the ssd storage class - each drive is 8 TB in size
- 5 nodes in the cluster.
That makes 100 OSDs in the cluster to begin with.
The puppet module must faciliate operational tasks such as identification and replacement of a failed device.
