Love juju and this ceph charms is great. Can you help with this issue ...

I have deployed the ceph charm to a MAAS cluster of 3 nodes (machine: 0, 1, & 2)

I used this command to deploy:

juju deploy --config ./ceph.yaml -n 3 ceph

Now when I check the juju status I see that ceph has gone to machine: 1, 2, & 3. Since I don't have a machine 3 it is pending.

How can I get it to deploy to the 3 node I already have ?

Here is my juju status...

In order to place units on machines, you need to use the placement directive --to.

You can't use this when specifying number of units however.

So you'd have to go:

juju deploy --config ./ceph.yaml ceph --to 0
juju add-unit ceph --to 1
juju add-unit ceph --to 2

This is assuming that you already having machines 0, 1 and 2 in existence.

  • agent-state: start-error is also bad - this would indicate misconfiguration of the deployed charm against the server - please check the fs-uuid and mon-secret's have been supplied and that the block devices you are trying to use on the server exist.

  • That is great.Thanks for the pointers on deployment. I have deployed a 4th node (machine 3) and now have 3 agents in start-error. I think this is a separate topic so I'll close this one, do some testing and research and open another if required.

  • Looks like my issue was DNS related. The celerybeat job that sync dhcpd.leases into the zone file does not seem to be working on my system. I manually added the address lines into the zone file /etc/bind/maas/zone.ceph then restarted named. Used juju to destroy-service ceph then deployed it again and this time it all worked.

  • I have tested this answer and it didn't work for me: $ juju deploy --config ./ceph.yaml ceph --to 0 gave me an error "juju: error: unrecognized arguments: --to 0"

  • machine 0 is the zookeeper. As of Nov 2013 juju 0.5+bzr531-0ubuntu1.3 is the current juju package in the Ubuntu archive. This version does not support the option --to. It won't let you deploy any charms to the zookeeper.
