osdmaptool(8) - Linux man page

Name

osdmaptool - ceph osd cluster map manipulation tool

Synopsis

osdmaptool mapfilename [--print] [--createsimple numosd
[--pgbits bitsperosd ] ] [--clobber]

Description

osdmaptool is a utility that lets you create, view, and manipulate OSD cluster maps from the Ceph distributed file system. Notably, it lets you extract the embedded CRUSH map or import a new CRUSH map.

Options

--print

will simply make the tool print a plaintext dump of the map, after any modifications are made.

--clobber

will allow osdmaptool to overwrite mapfilename if changes are made.

--import-crush mapfile

will load the CRUSH map from mapfile and embed it in the OSD map.

--export-crush mapfile

will extract the CRUSH map from the OSD map and write it to mapfile.

--createsimple numosd [--pgbits bitsperosd]

will create a relatively generic OSD map with the numosd devices. If --pgbits is specified, the initial placement group counts will be set with bitsperosd bits per OSD. That is, the pg_num map attribute will be set to numosd shifted by bitsperosd.

Example

To create a simple map with 16 devices:

osdmaptool --createsimple 16 osdmap --clobber

osdmaptool --print osdmap

Availability

osdmaptool is part of the Ceph distributed file system. Please refer to the Ceph documentation at http://ceph.com/docs for more information.
