Yes, undercloud node cleaning is the first option I enable/configure in undercloud.conf ;) after that I configure IP addresses/subnets :) On Mon, 21 Sep 2020 at 16:55, John Fulton <johfulto@redhat.com> wrote:

In [2] I see Error: Could not stat device /dev/vdb - No such file or directory.

/dev/vdb is the default and as per the logs it doesn't exist on your HCI node. For your HCI node you need to have a block device (usually a dedicated disk) which can be configured as an OSD and you need to pass the path to it as described in the following section of the doc.

https://docs.openstack.org/project-deploy-guide/tripleo-docs/latest/features...

Also, ensure your disk is factory clean or the ceph tools won't initialize it as an OSD. The easiest way to do this is to configure ironic's automatic node cleaning.

Hmm, looks like a good point, I even thought I forgot to sort it. BUT, I double checked now, and my node-info.yaml is the last one... only network_data and roles_data are above default configs: _THT="/usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates" _LTHT="$(pwd)" time openstack --verbose overcloud deploy \ --force-postconfig --templates \ --stack v3 \ -r ${_LTHT}/roles_data.yaml \ -n ${_LTHT}/network_data.yaml \ -e ${_LTHT}/containers-prepare-parameter.yaml \ -e ${_LTHT}/overcloud_images.yaml \ -e ${_THT}/environments/disable-telemetry.yaml \ -e ${_THT}/environments/ceph-ansible/ceph-ansible.yaml \ -e ${_THT}/environments/ceph-ansible/ceph-rgw.yaml \ -e ${_THT}/environments/ceph-ansible/ceph-mds.yaml \ -e ${_THT}/environments/ceph-ansible/ceph-dashboard.yaml \ -e ${_LTHT}/node-info.yaml \ --ntp-server 8.8.8.8 all the config, can be found here[1]. meanwhile I will comment out my journal option.

Just wanted to share a few observations from your https://github.com/qw3r3wq/OSP-ussuri/blob/master/v3/node-info.yaml 1. Your mon_max_pg_per_osd should be closer to 100 or 200. You have it set at 4k: CephConfigOverrides: global: mon_max_pg_per_osd: 4096 Maybe you set this to workaround https://ceph.com/community/new-luminous-pg-overdose-protection/ but this is not a good way to do it for any production data. This check was added to avoid setting this value too high so working around it increases the chances you can have the problems the check was made to avoid. I assume this is just a test cluster (1 mon) but I wanted to let you know. 2. Replicas If you only have one OSD node you need to set "CephPoolDefaultSize: 1" (that should help you with the pg overdose issue too). 3. metrics pool If you're deploying with telemetry disabled then you don't need a metrics pool. 4. Backend overrides You shouldn't need GlanceBackend: rbd, GnocchiBackend: rbd, or NovaEnableRbdBackend: true as that gets set by default by using the ceph-ansible env file we've been talking about. 5. DistributedComputeHCICount role This role is meant to be used with distributed compute nodes which don't run in the same stack as the controller node. They are meant to be used as described in [1] I think the ComputeHCI node would be a better role to deploy in the same stack as the Controller. Not saying you can't do this but it doesn't look like you're using the role for what it was designed for so I at least wanted to point that out.

The tripleo-ansible role tripleo_ceph_work_dir will manage that directory for you (recreate it when needed to reflect what is in Heat). It is run when config-download is run.

I do not like it do not override everything... especially when launching deployment, when there is no stack (I mean in undercloud host, as overcloud nodes should be cleaned up by undercloud).

If there is no stack, the stack will be created when you deploy and config-download's directory of playbooks will also be recreated. You shouldn't need to worry about cleaning up the existing config-download directory. You can, but you don't have to.

And you ARE right. Thank you for helping to notice it, there is no my list of devices... those sdc sde sdd...

Then for whatever reason in the series of overrides the default CephAnsibleDisksConfig devices list is getting used and not your overrides. I'm very confident the override order works correctly if the templates are in the right order. I recommend simplifying by removing templates and then adding in only what you need in iterative layers. You node overrides look complex.

By the way, just a small notice, but I believe that should not be a problem, that I have stack named v3, not overcloud... I believe it is ok, yes?

Yes, you can call the stack whatever you like by using the --stack option. John
