9 A single zone configuration typically consists of one zone group containing one
10 zone and one or more `ceph-radosgw` instances where you may load-balance gateway
11 client requests between the instances. In a single zone configuration, typically
12 multiple gateway instances point to a single Ceph storage cluster. However, Kraken
13 supports several multi-site configuration options for the Ceph Object Gateway:
15 - **Multi-zone:** A more advanced configuration consists of one zone group and
16 multiple zones, each zone with one or more `ceph-radosgw` instances. Each zone
17 is backed by its own Ceph Storage Cluster. Multiple zones in a zone group
18 provides disaster recovery for the zone group should one of the zones experience
19 a significant failure. In Kraken, each zone is active and may receive write
20 operations. In addition to disaster recovery, multiple active zones may also
21 serve as a foundation for content delivery networks.
23 - **Multi-zone-group:** Formerly called 'regions', Ceph Object Gateway can also
24 support multiple zone groups, each zone group with one or more zones. Objects
25 stored to zones in one zone group within the same realm as another zone
26 group will share a global object namespace, ensuring unique object IDs across
27 zone groups and zones.
29 - **Multiple Realms:** In Kraken, the Ceph Object Gateway supports the notion
30 of realms, which can be a single zone group or multiple zone groups and
31 a globally unique namespace for the realm. Multiple realms provide the ability
32 to support numerous configurations and namespaces.

43 Functional Changes from Infernalis
44 ==================================
46 In Kraken, you can configure each Ceph Object Gateway to
47 work in an active-active zone configuration, allowing for writes to
50 The multi-site configuration is stored within a container called a
51 "realm." The realm stores zone groups, zones, and a time "period" with
52 multiple epochs for tracking changes to the configuration. In Kraken,
53 the ``ceph-radosgw`` daemons handle the synchronization,
54 eliminating the need for a separate synchronization agent. Additionally,
55 the new approach to synchronization allows the Ceph Object Gateway to
56 operate with an "active-active" configuration instead of
59 Requirements and Assumptions
60 ============================
62 A multi-site configuration requires at least two Ceph storage clusters,
63 preferably given a distinct cluster name. At least two Ceph object
64 gateway instances, one for each Ceph storage cluster.
66 This guide assumes at least two Ceph storage clusters are in geographically
67 separate locations; however, the configuration can work on the same
68 site. This guide also assumes two Ceph object gateway servers named
69 ``rgw1`` and ``rgw2``.
71 .. important:: Running a single Ceph storage cluster is NOT recommended unless you have
72 low latency WAN connections.
74 A multi-site configuration requires a master zone group and a master
75 zone. Additionally, each zone group requires a master zone. Zone groups
76 may have one or more secondary or non-master zones.
78 In this guide, the ``rgw1`` host will serve as the master zone of the
79 master zone group; and, the ``rgw2`` host will serve as the secondary zone
80 of the master zone group.
82 See `Pools`_ for instructions on creating and tuning pools for Ceph
86 Configuring a Master Zone
87 =========================
89 All gateways in a multi-site configuration will retrieve their
90 configuration from a ``ceph-radosgw`` daemon on a host within the master
91 zone group and master zone. To configure your gateways in a multi-site
92 configuration, choose a ``ceph-radosgw`` instance to configure the
93 master zone group and master zone.
98 A realm contains the multi-site configuration of zone groups and zones
99 and also serves to enforce a globally unique namespace within the realm.
101 Create a new realm for the multi-site configuration by opening a command
102 line interface on a host identified to serve in the master zone group
103 and zone. Then, execute the following:
107 # radosgw-admin realm create --rgw-realm={realm-name} [--default]
113 # radosgw-admin realm create --rgw-realm=movies --default
115 If the cluster will have a single realm, specify the ``--default`` flag.
116 If ``--default`` is specified, ``radosgw-admin`` will use this realm by
117 default. If ``--default`` is not specified, adding zone-groups and zones
118 requires specifying either the ``--rgw-realm`` flag or the
119 ``--realm-id`` flag to identify the realm when adding zone groups and
122 After creating the realm, ``radosgw-admin`` will echo back the realm
123 configuration. For example:
128 "id": "0956b174-fe14-4f97-8b50-bb7ec5e1cf62",
130 "current_period": "1950b710-3e63-4c41-a19e-46a715000980",
134 .. note:: Ceph generates a unique ID for the realm, which allows the renaming
135 of a realm if the need arises.
137 Create a Master Zone Group
138 --------------------------
140 A realm must have at least one zone group, which will serve as the
141 master zone group for the realm.
143 Create a new master zone group for the multi-site configuration by
144 opening a command line interface on a host identified to serve in the
145 master zone group and zone. Then, execute the following:
149 # radosgw-admin zonegroup create --rgw-zonegroup={name} --endpoints={url} [--rgw-realm={realm-name}|--realm-id={realm-id}] --master --default
155 # radosgw-admin zonegroup create --rgw-zonegroup=us --endpoints=http://rgw1:80 --rgw-realm=movies --master --default
157 If the realm will only have a single zone group, specify the
158 ``--default`` flag. If ``--default`` is specified, ``radosgw-admin``
159 will use this zone group by default when adding new zones. If
160 ``--default`` is not specified, adding zones will require either the
161 ``--rgw-zonegroup`` flag or the ``--zonegroup-id`` flag to identify the
162 zone group when adding or modifying zones.
164 After creating the master zone group, ``radosgw-admin`` will echo back
165 the zone group configuration. For example:
170 "id": "f1a233f5-c354-4107-b36c-df66126475a6",
178 "hostnames_s3webzone": [],
181 "placement_targets": [],
182 "default_placement": "",
183 "realm_id": "0956b174-fe14-4f97-8b50-bb7ec5e1cf62"
189 .. important:: Zones must be created on a Ceph Object Gateway node that will be
192 Create a new master zone for the multi-site configuration by opening a
193 command line interface on a host identified to serve in the master zone
194 group and zone. Then, execute the following:

199 --rgw-zone={zone-name} \
201 --endpoints={http://fqdn}[,{http://fqdn}]
208 # radosgw-admin zone create --rgw-zonegroup=us --rgw-zone=us-east \
210 --endpoints={http://fqdn}[,{http://fqdn}]
213 .. note:: The ``--access-key`` and ``--secret`` aren’t specified. These
214 settings will be added to the zone once the user is created in the
217 .. important:: The following steps assume a multi-site configuration using newly
218 installed systems that aren’t storing data yet. DO NOT DELETE the
219 ``default`` zone and its pools if you are already using it to store
220 data, or the data will be deleted and unrecoverable.
222 Delete Default Zone Group and Zone
223 ----------------------------------
225 Delete the ``default`` zone if it exists. Make sure to remove it from
226 the default zone group first.
230 # radosgw-admin zonegroup remove --rgw-zonegroup=default --rgw-zone=default
231 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
232 # radosgw-admin zone rm --rgw-zone=default
233 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
234 # radosgw-admin zonegroup delete --rgw-zonegroup=default
235 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
237 Finally, delete the ``default`` pools in your Ceph storage cluster if
240 .. important:: The following step assumes a multi-site configuration using newly
241 installed systems that aren’t currently storing data. DO NOT DELETE
242 the ``default`` zone group if you are already using it to store

250 # ceph osd pool rm default.rgw.log default.rgw.log --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
251 # ceph osd pool rm default.rgw.users.uid default.rgw.users.uid --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
256 The ``ceph-radosgw`` daemons must authenticate before pulling realm and
257 period information. In the master zone, create a system user to
258 facilitate authentication between daemons.
262 # radosgw-admin user create --uid="{user-name}" --display-name="{Display Name}" --system
268 # radosgw-admin user create --uid="synchronization-user" --display-name="Synchronization User" --system
270 Make a note of the ``access_key`` and ``secret_key``, as the secondary
271 zones will require them to authenticate with the master zone.
273 Finally, add the system user to the master zone.
277 # radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-zone=us-east --access-key={access-key} --secret={secret}
278 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
283 After updating the master zone configuration, update the period.
287 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
289 .. note:: Updating the period changes the epoch, and ensures that other zones
290 will receive the updated configuration.
292 Update the Ceph Configuration File
293 ----------------------------------
295 Update the Ceph configuration file on master zone hosts by adding the
296 ``rgw_zone`` configuration option and the name of the master zone to the
301 [client.rgw.{instance-name}]
311 rgw frontends = "civetweb port=80"
317 On the object gateway host, start and enable the Ceph Object Gateway
322 # systemctl start ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
323 # systemctl enable ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
325 Configure Secondary Zones
326 =========================
328 Zones within a zone group replicate all data to ensure that each zone
329 has the same data. When creating the secondary zone, execute all of the
330 following operations on a host identified to serve the secondary zone.
332 .. note:: To add a third zone, follow the same procedures as for adding the
333 secondary zone. Use different zone name.
335 .. important:: You must execute metadata operations, such as user creation, on a
336 host within the master zone. The master zone and the secondary zone
337 can receive bucket operations, but the secondary zone redirects
338 bucket operations to the master zone. If the master zone is down,
339 bucket operations will fail.
344 Using the URL path, access key and secret of the master zone in the
345 master zone group, pull the realm configuration to the host. To pull a
346 non-default realm, specify the realm using the ``--rgw-realm`` or
347 ``--realm-id`` configuration options.
351 # radosgw-admin realm pull --url={url-to-master-zone-gateway} --access-key={access-key} --secret={secret}
353 .. note:: Pulling the realm also retrieves the remote's current period
354 configuration, and makes it the current period on this host as well.
356 If this realm is the default realm or the only realm, make the realm the
361 # radosgw-admin realm default --rgw-realm={realm-name}
363 Create a Secondary Zone
364 -----------------------
366 .. important:: Zones must be created on a Ceph Object Gateway node that will be
369 Create a secondary zone for the multi-site configuration by opening a
370 command line interface on a host identified to serve the secondary zone.
371 Specify the zone group ID, the new zone name and an endpoint for the
372 zone. **DO NOT** use the ``--master`` or ``--default`` flags. In Kraken,
373 all zones run in an active-active configuration by
374 default; that is, a gateway client may write data to any zone and the
375 zone will replicate the data to all other zones within the zone group.
376 If the secondary zone should not accept write operations, specify the
377 ``--read-only`` flag to create an active-passive configuration between
378 the master zone and the secondary zone. Additionally, provide the
379 ``access_key`` and ``secret_key`` of the generated system user stored in
380 the master zone of the master zone group. Execute the following:
384 # radosgw-admin zone create --rgw-zonegroup={zone-group-name}\
385 --rgw-zone={zone-name} --endpoints={url} \
386 --access-key={system-key} --secret={secret}\
387 --endpoints=http://{fqdn}:80 \
394 # radosgw-admin zone create --rgw-zonegroup=us --rgw-zone=us-west \
395 --access-key={system-key} --secret={secret} \
396 --endpoints=http://rgw2:80
398 .. important:: The following steps assume a multi-site configuration using newly
399 installed systems that aren’t storing data. **DO NOT DELETE** the
400 ``default`` zone and its pools if you are already using it to store
401 data, or the data will be lost and unrecoverable.
403 Delete the default zone if needed.
407 # radosgw-admin zone rm --rgw-zone=default
409 Finally, delete the default pools in your Ceph storage cluster if
414 # ceph osd pool rm default.rgw.control default.rgw.control --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
415 # ceph osd pool rm default.rgw.data.root default.rgw.data.root --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
416 # ceph osd pool rm default.rgw.gc default.rgw.gc --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
417 # ceph osd pool rm default.rgw.log default.rgw.log --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
418 # ceph osd pool rm default.rgw.users.uid default.rgw.users.uid --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
420 Update the Ceph Configuration File
421 ----------------------------------
423 Update the Ceph configuration file on the secondary zone hosts by adding
424 the ``rgw_zone`` configuration option and the name of the secondary zone
425 to the instance entry.
429 [client.rgw.{instance-name}]
439 rgw frontends = "civetweb port=80"
445 After updating the master zone configuration, update the period.
449 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
451 .. note:: Updating the period changes the epoch, and ensures that other zones
452 will receive the updated configuration.
457 On the object gateway host, start and enable the Ceph Object Gateway
462 # systemctl start ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
463 # systemctl enable ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
465 Check Synchronization Status
466 ----------------------------
468 Once the secondary zone is up and running, check the synchronization
469 status. Synchronization copies users and buckets created in the master
470 zone to the secondary zone.
474 # radosgw-admin sync status
476 The output will provide the status of synchronization operations. For
481 realm f3239bc5-e1a8-4206-a81d-e1576480804d (earth)
482 zonegroup c50dbb7e-d9ce-47cc-a8bb-97d9b399d388 (us)

490 full sync: 0/128 shards
491 incremental sync: 128/128 shards
492 data is caught up with source
494 .. note:: Secondary zones accept bucket operations; however, secondary zones
495 redirect bucket operations to the master zone and then synchronize
496 with the master zone to receive the result of the bucket operations.
497 If the master zone is down, bucket operations executed on the
498 secondary zone will fail, but object operations should succeed.
504 Checking the Sync Status
505 ------------------------
507 Information about the replication status of a zone can be queried with::
509 $ radosgw-admin sync status
510 realm b3bc1c37-9c44-4b89-a03b-04c269bea5da (earth)

526 incremental sync: 128/128 shards
527 data is caught up with source
529 Changing the Metadata Master Zone
530 ---------------------------------
532 .. important:: Care must be taken when changing which zone is the metadata
533 master. If a zone has not finished syncing metadata from the current master
534 zone, it will be unable to serve any remaining entries when promoted to
535 master and those changes will be lost. For this reason, waiting for a
536 zone's ``radosgw-admin sync status`` to catch up on metadata sync before
537 promoting it to master is recommended.
539 Similarly, if changes to metadata are being processed by the current master
540 zone while another zone is being promoted to master, those changes are
541 likely to be lost. To avoid this, shutting down any ``radosgw`` instances
542 on the previous master zone is recommended. After promoting another zone,
543 its new period can be fetched with ``radosgw-admin period pull`` and the
544 gateway(s) can be restarted.
546 To promote a zone (for example, zone ``us-2`` in zonegroup ``us``) to metadata
547 master, run the following commands on that zone::
549 $ radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-zone=us-2 --master
550 $ radosgw-admin zonegroup modify --rgw-zonegroup=us --master
551 $ radosgw-admin period update --commit
553 This will generate a new period, and the radosgw instance(s) in zone ``us-2``
554 will send this period to other zones.
556 Failover and Disaster Recovery
557 ==============================
559 If the master zone should fail, failover to the secondary zone for
562 1. Make the secondary zone the master and default zone. For example:
566 # radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-zone={zone-name} --master --default
568 By default, Ceph Object Gateway will run in an active-active
569 configuration. If the cluster was configured to run in an
570 active-passive configuration, the secondary zone is a read-only zone.
571 Remove the ``--read-only`` status to allow the zone to receive write
572 operations. For example:
576 # radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-zone={zone-name} --master --default \
579 2. Update the period to make the changes take effect.
583 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
585 3. Finally, restart the Ceph Object Gateway.
589 # systemctl restart ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
591 If the former master zone recovers, revert the operation.
593 1. From the recovered zone, pull the latest realm configuration
594 from the current master zone.
598 # radosgw-admin realm pull --url={url-to-master-zone-gateway} \
599 --access-key={access-key} --secret={secret}
601 2. Make the recovered zone the master and default zone.
605 # radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-zone={zone-name} --master --default
607 3. Update the period to make the changes take effect.
611 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
613 4. Then, restart the Ceph Object Gateway in the recovered zone.
617 # systemctl restart ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
619 5. If the secondary zone needs to be a read-only configuration, update
624 # radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-zone={zone-name} --read-only
626 6. Update the period to make the changes take effect.
630 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
632 7. Finally, restart the Ceph Object Gateway in the secondary zone.
636 # systemctl restart ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
638 Migrating a Single Site System to Multi-Site
639 ============================================
641 To migrate from a single site system with a ``default`` zone group and
642 zone to a multi site system, use the following steps:
644 1. Create a realm. Replace ``<name>`` with the realm name.
648 # radosgw-admin realm create --rgw-realm=<name> --default
650 2. Rename the default zone and zonegroup. Replace ``<name>`` with the
651 zonegroup or zone name.
655 # radosgw-admin zonegroup rename --rgw-zonegroup default --zonegroup-new-name=<name>
656 # radosgw-admin zone rename --rgw-zone default --zone-new-name us-east-1 --rgw-zonegroup=<name>
658 3. Configure the master zonegroup. Replace ``<name>`` with the realm or
659 zonegroup name. Replace ``<fqdn>`` with the fully qualified domain
660 name(s) in the zonegroup.
664 # radosgw-admin zonegroup modify --rgw-realm=<name> --rgw-zonegroup=<name> --endpoints http://<fqdn>:80 --master --default
666 4. Configure the master zone. Replace ``<name>`` with the realm,
667 zonegroup or zone name. Replace ``<fqdn>`` with the fully qualified
668 domain name(s) in the zonegroup.
672 # radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-realm=<name> --rgw-zonegroup=<name> \
673 --rgw-zone=<name> --endpoints http://<fqdn>:80 \
674 --access-key=<access-key> --secret=<secret-key> \
677 5. Create a system user. Replace ``<user-id>`` with the username.
678 Replace ``<display-name>`` with a display name. It may contain
683 # radosgw-admin user create --uid=<user-id> --display-name="<display-name>"\
684 --access-key=<access-key> --secret=<secret-key> --system
686 6. Commit the updated configuration.
690 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
692 7. Finally, restart the Ceph Object Gateway.
696 # systemctl restart ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
698 After completing this procedure, proceed to `Configure a Secondary
699 Zone <#configure-secondary-zones>`__ to create a secondary zone
700 in the master zone group.
703 Multi-Site Configuration Reference
704 ==================================
706 The following sections provide additional details and command-line
707 usage for realms, periods, zone groups and zones.
712 A realm represents a globally unique namespace consisting of one or more
713 zonegroups containing one or more zones, and zones containing buckets,
714 which in turn contain objects. A realm enables the Ceph Object Gateway
715 to support multiple namespaces and their configuration on the same
718 A realm contains the notion of periods. Each period represents the state
719 of the zone group and zone configuration in time. Each time you make a
720 change to a zonegroup or zone, update the period and commit it.
722 By default, the Ceph Object Gateway does not create a realm
723 for backward compatibility with Infernalis and earlier releases.
724 However, as a best practice, we recommend creating realms for new
730 To create a realm, execute ``realm create`` and specify the realm name.
731 If the realm is the default, specify ``--default``.
735 # radosgw-admin realm create --rgw-realm={realm-name} [--default]
741 # radosgw-admin realm create --rgw-realm=movies --default
743 By specifying ``--default``, the realm will be called implicitly with
744 each ``radosgw-admin`` call unless ``--rgw-realm`` and the realm name
745 are explicitly provided.
747 Make a Realm the Default
748 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
750 One realm in the list of realms should be the default realm. There may
751 be only one default realm. If there is only one realm and it wasn’t
752 specified as the default realm when it was created, make it the default
753 realm. Alternatively, to change which realm is the default, execute:
757 # radosgw-admin realm default --rgw-realm=movies
759 .. note:: When the realm is default, the command line assumes
760 ``--rgw-realm=<realm-name>`` as an argument.
765 To delete a realm, execute ``realm delete`` and specify the realm name.
769 # radosgw-admin realm delete --rgw-realm={realm-name}
775 # radosgw-admin realm delete --rgw-realm=movies
780 To get a realm, execute ``realm get`` and specify the realm name.
784 #radosgw-admin realm get --rgw-realm=<name>
790 # radosgw-admin realm get --rgw-realm=movies [> filename.json]
792 The CLI will echo a JSON object with the realm properties.
797 "id": "0a68d52e-a19c-4e8e-b012-a8f831cb3ebc",
799 "current_period": "b0c5bbef-4337-4edd-8184-5aeab2ec413b",
803 Use ``>`` and an output file name to output the JSON object to a file.
808 To set a realm, execute ``realm set``, specify the realm name, and
809 ``--infile=`` with an input file name.
813 #radosgw-admin realm set --rgw-realm=<name> --infile=<infilename>
819 # radosgw-admin realm set --rgw-realm=movies --infile=filename.json
824 To list realms, execute ``realm list``.
828 # radosgw-admin realm list
833 To list realm periods, execute ``realm list-periods``.
837 # radosgw-admin realm list-periods
842 To pull a realm from the node containing the master zone group and
843 master zone to a node containing a secondary zone group or zone, execute
844 ``realm pull`` on the node that will receive the realm configuration.
848 # radosgw-admin realm pull --url={url-to-master-zone-gateway} --access-key={access-key} --secret={secret}
853 A realm is not part of the period. Consequently, renaming the realm is
854 only applied locally, and will not get pulled with ``realm pull``. When
855 renaming a realm with multiple zones, run the command on each zone. To
856 rename a realm, execute the following:
860 # radosgw-admin realm rename --rgw-realm=<current-name> --realm-new-name=<new-realm-name>
862 .. note:: DO NOT use ``realm set`` to change the ``name`` parameter. That
863 changes the internal name only. Specifying ``--rgw-realm`` would
864 still use the old realm name.
869 The Ceph Object Gateway supports multi-site deployments and a global
870 namespace by using the notion of zone groups. Formerly called a region
871 in Infernalis, a zone group defines the geographic location of one or more Ceph
872 Object Gateway instances within one or more zones.
874 Configuring zone groups differs from typical configuration procedures,
875 because not all of the settings end up in a Ceph configuration file. You
876 can list zone groups, get a zone group configuration, and set a zone
882 Creating a zone group consists of specifying the zone group name.
883 Creating a zone assumes it will live in the default realm unless
884 ``--rgw-realm=<realm-name>`` is specified. If the zonegroup is the
885 default zonegroup, specify the ``--default`` flag. If the zonegroup is
886 the master zonegroup, specify the ``--master`` flag. For example:
890 # radosgw-admin zonegroup create --rgw-zonegroup=<name> [--rgw-realm=<name>][--master] [--default]
893 .. note:: Use ``zonegroup modify --rgw-zonegroup=<zonegroup-name>`` to modify
894 an existing zone group’s settings.
896 Make a Zone Group the Default
897 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
899 One zonegroup in the list of zonegroups should be the default zonegroup.
900 There may be only one default zonegroup. If there is only one zonegroup
901 and it wasn’t specified as the default zonegroup when it was created,
902 make it the default zonegroup. Alternatively, to change which zonegroup
903 is the default, execute:
907 # radosgw-admin zonegroup default --rgw-zonegroup=comedy
909 .. note:: When the zonegroup is default, the command line assumes
910 ``--rgw-zonegroup=<zonegroup-name>`` as an argument.
912 Then, update the period:
916 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
918 Add a Zone to a Zone Group
919 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
921 To add a zone to a zonegroup, execute the following:
925 # radosgw-admin zonegroup add --rgw-zonegroup=<name> --rgw-zone=<name>
927 Then, update the period:
931 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
933 Remove a Zone from a Zone Group
934 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
936 To remove a zone from a zonegroup, execute the following:
940 # radosgw-admin zonegroup remove --rgw-zonegroup=<name> --rgw-zone=<name>
942 Then, update the period:
946 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
951 To rename a zonegroup, execute the following:
955 # radosgw-admin zonegroup rename --rgw-zonegroup=<name> --zonegroup-new-name=<name>
957 Then, update the period:
961 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
966 To delete a zonegroup, execute the following:
970 # radosgw-admin zonegroup delete --rgw-zonegroup=<name>
972 Then, update the period:
976 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
981 A Ceph cluster contains a list of zone groups. To list the zone groups,
986 # radosgw-admin zonegroup list
988 The ``radosgw-admin`` returns a JSON formatted list of zone groups.
993 "default_info": "90b28698-e7c3-462c-a42d-4aa780d24eda",
1000 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1002 To list the details of each zone group, execute:
1006 # radosgw-admin zonegroup-map get
1008 .. note:: If you receive a ``failed to read zonegroup map`` error, run
1009 ``radosgw-admin zonegroup-map update`` as ``root`` first.
1014 To view the configuration of a zone group, execute:
1018 radosgw-admin zonegroup get [--rgw-zonegroup=<zonegroup>]
1020 The zone group configuration looks like this:
1025 "id": "90b28698-e7c3-462c-a42d-4aa780d24eda",
1028 "is_master": "true",
1033 "hostnames_s3website": [],
1034 "master_zone": "9248cab2-afe7-43d8-a661-a40bf316665e",
1037 "id": "9248cab2-afe7-43d8-a661-a40bf316665e",
1044 "bucket_index_max_shards": 0,
1045 "read_only": "false"
1048 "id": "d1024e59-7d28-49d1-8222-af101965a939",
1053 "log_meta": "false",
1055 "bucket_index_max_shards": 0,
1056 "read_only": "false"
1059 "placement_targets": [
1061 "name": "default-placement",
1065 "default_placement": "default-placement",
1066 "realm_id": "ae031368-8715-4e27-9a99-0c9468852cfe"
1072 Defining a zone group consists of creating a JSON object, specifying at
1073 least the required settings:
1075 1. ``name``: The name of the zone group. Required.
1077 2. ``api_name``: The API name for the zone group. Optional.
1079 3. ``is_master``: Determines if the zone group is the master zone group.
1080 Required. **note:** You can only have one master zone group.
1082 4. ``endpoints``: A list of all the endpoints in the zone group. For
1083 example, you may use multiple domain names to refer to the same zone
1084 group. Remember to escape the forward slashes (``\/``). You may also
1085 specify a port (``fqdn:port``) for each endpoint. Optional.
1087 5. ``hostnames``: A list of all the hostnames in the zone group. For
1088 example, you may use multiple domain names to refer to the same zone
1089 group. Optional. The ``rgw dns name`` setting will automatically be
1090 included in this list. You should restart the gateway daemon(s) after
1091 changing this setting.
1093 6. ``master_zone``: The master zone for the zone group. Optional. Uses
1094 the default zone if not specified. **note:** You can only have one
1095 master zone per zone group.
1097 7. ``zones``: A list of all zones within the zone group. Each zone has a
1098 name (required), a list of endpoints (optional), and whether or not
1099 the gateway will log metadata and data operations (false by default).
1101 8. ``placement_targets``: A list of placement targets (optional). Each
1102 placement target contains a name (required) for the placement target
1103 and a list of tags (optional) so that only users with the tag can use
1104 the placement target (i.e., the user’s ``placement_tags`` field in
1107 9. ``default_placement``: The default placement target for the object
1108 index and object data. Set to ``default-placement`` by default. You
1109 may also set a per-user default placement in the user info for each
1112 To set a zone group, create a JSON object consisting of the required
1113 fields, save the object to a file (e.g., ``zonegroup.json``); then,
1114 execute the following command:
1118 # radosgw-admin zonegroup set --infile zonegroup.json
1120 Where ``zonegroup.json`` is the JSON file you created.
1122 .. important:: The ``default`` zone group ``is_master`` setting is ``true`` by
1123 default. If you create a new zone group and want to make it the
1124 master zone group, you must either set the ``default`` zone group
1125 ``is_master`` setting to ``false``, or delete the ``default`` zone
1128 Finally, update the period:
1132 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1134 Set a Zone Group Map
1135 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1137 Setting a zone group map consists of creating a JSON object consisting
1138 of one or more zone groups, and setting the ``master_zonegroup`` for the
1139 cluster. Each zone group in the zone group map consists of a key/value
1140 pair, where the ``key`` setting is equivalent to the ``name`` setting
1141 for an individual zone group configuration, and the ``val`` is a JSON
1142 object consisting of an individual zone group configuration.
1144 You may only have one zone group with ``is_master`` equal to ``true``,
1145 and it must be specified as the ``master_zonegroup`` at the end of the
1146 zone group map. The following JSON object is an example of a default
1154 "key": "90b28698-e7c3-462c-a42d-4aa780d24eda",
1156 "id": "90b28698-e7c3-462c-a42d-4aa780d24eda",
1159 "is_master": "true",
1164 "hostnames_s3website": [],
1165 "master_zone": "9248cab2-afe7-43d8-a661-a40bf316665e",
1168 "id": "9248cab2-afe7-43d8-a661-a40bf316665e",
1175 "bucket_index_max_shards": 0,
1176 "read_only": "false"
1179 "id": "d1024e59-7d28-49d1-8222-af101965a939",
1184 "log_meta": "false",
1186 "bucket_index_max_shards": 0,
1187 "read_only": "false"
1190 "placement_targets": [
1192 "name": "default-placement",
1196 "default_placement": "default-placement",
1197 "realm_id": "ae031368-8715-4e27-9a99-0c9468852cfe"
1201 "master_zonegroup": "90b28698-e7c3-462c-a42d-4aa780d24eda",
1214 To set a zone group map, execute the following:
1218 # radosgw-admin zonegroup-map set --infile zonegroupmap.json
1220 Where ``zonegroupmap.json`` is the JSON file you created. Ensure that
1221 you have zones created for the ones specified in the zone group map.
1222 Finally, update the period.
1226 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1231 Ceph Object Gateway supports the notion of zones. A zone defines a
1232 logical group consisting of one or more Ceph Object Gateway instances.
1234 Configuring zones differs from typical configuration procedures, because
1235 not all of the settings end up in a Ceph configuration file. You can
1236 list zones, get a zone configuration and set a zone configuration.
1241 To create a zone, specify a zone name. If it is a master zone, specify
1242 the ``--master`` option. Only one zone in a zone group may be a master
1243 zone. To add the zone to a zonegroup, specify the ``--rgw-zonegroup``
1244 option with the zonegroup name.
1248 # radosgw-admin zone create --rgw-zone=<name> \
1249 [--zonegroup=<zonegroup-name]\
1250 [--endpoints=<endpoint>[,<endpoint>] \
1251 [--master] [--default] \
1252 --access-key $SYSTEM_ACCESS_KEY --secret $SYSTEM_SECRET_KEY
1254 Then, update the period:
1258 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1263 To delete zone, first remove it from the zonegroup.
1267 # radosgw-admin zonegroup remove --zonegroup=<name>\
1270 Then, update the period:
1274 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1276 Next, delete the zone. Execute the following:
1280 # radosgw-admin zone rm --rgw-zone<name>
1282 Finally, update the period:
1286 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1288 .. important:: Do not delete a zone without removing it from a zone group first.
1289 Otherwise, updating the period will fail.
1291 If the pools for the deleted zone will not be used anywhere else,
1292 consider deleting the pools. Replace ``<del-zone>`` in the example below
1293 with the deleted zone’s name.
1295 .. important:: Only delete the pools with prepended zone names. Deleting the root
1296 pool, such as, ``.rgw.root`` will remove all of the system’s
1299 .. important:: Once the pools are deleted, all of the data within them are deleted
1300 in an unrecoverable manner. Only delete the pools if the pool
1301 contents are no longer needed.
1305 # ceph osd pool rm <del-zone>.rgw.control <del-zone>.rgw.control --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
1306 # ceph osd pool rm <del-zone>.rgw.data.root <del-zone>.rgw.data.root --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
1307 # ceph osd pool rm <del-zone>.rgw.gc <del-zone>.rgw.gc --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
1308 # ceph osd pool rm <del-zone>.rgw.log <del-zone>.rgw.log --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
1309 # ceph osd pool rm <del-zone>.rgw.users.uid <del-zone>.rgw.users.uid --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
1314 To modify a zone, specify the zone name and the parameters you wish to
1319 # radosgw-admin zone modify [options]
1321 Where ``[options]``:
1323 - ``--access-key=<key>``
1324 - ``--secret/--secret-key=<key>``
1327 - ``--endpoints=<list>``
1329 Then, update the period:
1333 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1338 As ``root``, to list the zones in a cluster, execute:
1342 # radosgw-admin zone list
1347 As ``root``, to get the configuration of a zone, execute:
1351 # radosgw-admin zone get [--rgw-zone=<zone>]
1353 The ``default`` zone looks like this:
1357 { "domain_root": ".rgw",
1358 "control_pool": ".rgw.control",
1359 "gc_pool": ".rgw.gc",
1361 "intent_log_pool": ".intent-log",
1362 "usage_log_pool": ".usage",
1363 "user_keys_pool": ".users",
1364 "user_email_pool": ".users.email",
1365 "user_swift_pool": ".users.swift",
1366 "user_uid_pool": ".users.uid",
1367 "system_key": { "access_key": "", "secret_key": ""},
1368 "placement_pools": [
1369 { "key": "default-placement",
1370 "val": { "index_pool": ".rgw.buckets.index",
1371 "data_pool": ".rgw.buckets"}
1379 Configuring a zone involves specifying a series of Ceph Object Gateway
1380 pools. For consistency, we recommend using a pool prefix that is the
1381 same as the zone name. See
1382 `Pools <http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rados/operations/pools/#pools>`__
1383 for details of configuring pools.
1385 To set a zone, create a JSON object consisting of the pools, save the
1386 object to a file (e.g., ``zone.json``); then, execute the following
1387 command, replacing ``{zone-name}`` with the name of the zone:
1391 # radosgw-admin zone set --rgw-zone={zone-name} --infile zone.json
1393 Where ``zone.json`` is the JSON file you created.
1395 Then, as ``root``, update the period:
1399 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1404 To rename a zone, specify the zone name and the new zone name.
1408 # radosgw-admin zone rename --rgw-zone=<name> --zone-new-name=<name>
1410 Then, update the period:
1414 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1416 Zone Group and Zone Settings
1417 ----------------------------
1419 When configuring a default zone group and zone, the pool name includes
1420 the zone name. For example:
1422 - ``default.rgw.control``
1424 To change the defaults, include the following settings in your Ceph
1425 configuration file under each ``[client.radosgw.{instance-name}]``
1428 +-------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+---------+-----------------------+
1429 | Name | Description | Type | Default |
1430 +=====================================+===================================+=========+=======================+
1431 | ``rgw_zone`` | The name of the zone for the | String | None |
1432 | | gateway instance. | | |
1433 +-------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+---------+-----------------------+
1434 | ``rgw_zonegroup`` | The name of the zone group for | String | None |
1435 | | the gateway instance. | | |
1436 +-------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+---------+-----------------------+
1437 | ``rgw_zonegroup_root_pool`` | The root pool for the zone group. | String | ``.rgw.root`` |
