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

41 Functional Changes from Infernalis
42 ==================================
44 In Kraken, you can configure each Ceph Object Gateway to
45 work in an active-active zone configuration, allowing for writes to
48 The multi-site configuration is stored within a container called a
49 "realm." The realm stores zone groups, zones, and a time "period" with
50 multiple epochs for tracking changes to the configuration. In Kraken,
51 the ``ceph-radosgw`` daemons handle the synchronization,
52 eliminating the need for a separate synchronization agent. Additionally,
53 the new approach to synchronization allows the Ceph Object Gateway to
54 operate with an "active-active" configuration instead of
57 Requirements and Assumptions
58 ============================
60 A multi-site configuration requires at least two Ceph storage clusters,
61 preferably given a distinct cluster name. At least two Ceph object
62 gateway instances, one for each Ceph storage cluster.
64 This guide assumes at least two Ceph storage clusters in geographically
65 separate locations; however, the configuration can work on the same
66 site. This guide also assumes four Ceph object gateway servers named
67 ``rgw1`` and ``rgw2``.
69 A multi-site configuration requires a master zone group and a master
70 zone. Additionally, each zone group requires a master zone. Zone groups
71 may have one or more secondary or non-master zones.
73 In this guide, the ``rgw1`` host will serve as the master zone of the
74 master zone group; and, the ``rgw2`` host will serve as the secondary zone
75 of the master zone group.
80 We recommend using the `Ceph Placement Group’s per Pool
81 Calculator <http://ceph.com/pgcalc/>`__ to calculate a
82 suitable number of placement groups for the pools the ``ceph-radosgw``
83 daemon will create. Set the calculated values as defaults in your Ceph
84 configuration file. For example:
88 osd pool default pg num = 50
89 osd pool default pgp num = 50
91 .. note:: Make this change to the Ceph configuration file on your
92 storage cluster; then, either make a runtime change to the
93 configuration so that it will use those defaults when the gateway
94 instance creates the pools.
96 Alternatively, create the pools manually. See
97 `Pools <http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rados/operations/pools/#pools>`__
98 for details on creating pools.
100 Pool names particular to a zone follow the naming convention
101 ``{zone-name}.pool-name``. For example, a zone named ``us-east`` will
102 have the following pools:
106 - ``us-east.rgw.control``
108 - ``us-east.rgw.data.root``
112 - ``us-east.rgw.log``
114 - ``us-east.rgw.intent-log``
116 - ``us-east.rgw.usage``
118 - ``us-east.rgw.users.keys``
120 - ``us-east.rgw.users.email``
122 - ``us-east.rgw.users.swift``
124 - ``us-east.rgw.users.uid``
126 - ``us-east.rgw.buckets.index``
128 - ``us-east.rgw.buckets.data``
131 Configuring a Master Zone
132 =========================
134 All gateways in a multi-site configuration will retrieve their
135 configuration from a ``ceph-radosgw`` daemon on a host within the master
136 zone group and master zone. To configure your gateways in a multi-site
137 configuration, choose a ``ceph-radosgw`` instance to configure the
138 master zone group and master zone.
143 A realm contains the multi-site configuration of zone groups and zones
144 and also serves to enforce a globally unique namespace within the realm.
146 Create a new realm for the multi-site configuration by opening a command
147 line interface on a host identified to serve in the master zone group
148 and zone. Then, execute the following:
152 # radosgw-admin realm create --rgw-realm={realm-name} [--default]
158 # radosgw-admin realm create --rgw-realm=movies --default
160 If the cluster will have a single realm, specify the ``--default`` flag.
161 If ``--default`` is specified, ``radosgw-admin`` will use this realm by
162 default. If ``--default`` is not specified, adding zone-groups and zones
163 requires specifying either the ``--rgw-realm`` flag or the
164 ``--realm-id`` flag to identify the realm when adding zone groups and
167 After creating the realm, ``radosgw-admin`` will echo back the realm
168 configuration. For example:
173 "id": "0956b174-fe14-4f97-8b50-bb7ec5e1cf62",
175 "current_period": "1950b710-3e63-4c41-a19e-46a715000980",
179 .. note:: Ceph generates a unique ID for the realm, which allows the renaming
180 of a realm if the need arises.
182 Create a Master Zone Group
183 --------------------------
185 A realm must have at least one zone group, which will serve as the
186 master zone group for the realm.
188 Create a new master zone group for the multi-site configuration by
189 opening a command line interface on a host identified to serve in the
190 master zone group and zone. Then, execute the following:
194 # radosgw-admin zonegroup create --rgw-zonegroup={name} --endpoints={url} [--rgw-realm={realm-name}|--realm-id={realm-id}] --master --default
200 # radosgw-admin zonegroup create --rgw-zonegroup=us --endpoints=http://rgw1:80 --rgw-realm=movies --master --default
202 If the realm will only have a single zone group, specify the
203 ``--default`` flag. If ``--default`` is specified, ``radosgw-admin``
204 will use this zone group by default when adding new zones. If
205 ``--default`` is not specified, adding zones will require either the
206 ``--rgw-zonegroup`` flag or the ``--zonegroup-id`` flag to identify the
207 zone group when adding or modifying zones.
209 After creating the master zone group, ``radosgw-admin`` will echo back
210 the zone group configuration. For example:
215 "id": "f1a233f5-c354-4107-b36c-df66126475a6",
223 "hostnames_s3webzone": [],
226 "placement_targets": [],
227 "default_placement": "",
228 "realm_id": "0956b174-fe14-4f97-8b50-bb7ec5e1cf62"

244 --rgw-zone={zone-name} \
246 --endpoints={http://fqdn}[,{http://fqdn}]
253 # radosgw-admin zone create --rgw-zonegroup=us --rgw-zone=us-east \
255 --endpoints={http://fqdn}[,{http://fqdn}]
258 .. note:: The ``--access-key`` and ``--secret`` aren’t specified. These
259 settings will be added to the zone once the user is created in the

263 installed systems that aren’t storing data yet. DO NOT DELETE the
264 ``default`` zone and its pools if you are already using it to store
265 data, or the data will be deleted and unrecoverable.
267 Delete Default Zone Group and Zone
268 ----------------------------------
270 Delete the ``default`` zone if it exists. Make sure to remove it from
271 the default zone group first.
275 # radosgw-admin zonegroup remove --rgw-zonegroup=default --rgw-zone=default
276 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
277 # radosgw-admin zone delete --rgw-zone=default
278 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
279 # radosgw-admin zonegroup delete --rgw-zonegroup=default
280 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
282 Finally, delete the ``default`` pools in your Ceph storage cluster if
285 .. important:: The following step assumes a multi-site configuration using newly
286 installed systems that aren’t currently storing data. DO NOT DELETE
287 the ``default`` zone group if you are already using it to store

293 # rados rmpool default.rgw.data.root default.rgw.data.root --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
294 # rados rmpool default.rgw.gc default.rgw.gc --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
295 # rados rmpool default.rgw.log default.rgw.log --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
296 # rados rmpool default.rgw.users.uid default.rgw.users.uid --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
301 The ``ceph-radosgw`` daemons must authenticate before pulling realm and
302 period information. In the master zone, create a system user to
303 facilitate authentication between daemons.
307 # radosgw-admin user create --uid="{user-name}" --display-name="{Display Name}" --system
313 # radosgw-admin user create --uid="synchronization-user" --display-name="Synchronization User" --system
315 Make a note of the ``access_key`` and ``secret_key``, as the secondary
316 zones will require them to authenticate with the master zone.
318 Finally, add the system user to the master zone.
322 # radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-zone=us-east --access-key={access-key} --secret={secret}
323 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
328 After updating the master zone configuration, update the period.
332 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
334 .. note:: Updating the period changes the epoch, and ensures that other zones
335 will receive the updated configuration.
337 Update the Ceph Configuration File
338 ----------------------------------
340 Update the Ceph configuration file on master zone hosts by adding the
341 ``rgw_zone`` configuration option and the name of the master zone to the
346 [client.rgw.{instance-name}]
356 rgw frontends = "civetweb port=80"
362 On the object gateway host, start and enable the Ceph Object Gateway
367 # systemctl start ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
368 # systemctl enable ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
370 Configure Secondary Zones
371 =========================
373 Zones within a zone group replicate all data to ensure that each zone
374 has the same data. When creating the secondary zone, execute all of the
375 following operations on a host identified to serve the secondary zone.
377 .. note:: To add a third zone, follow the same procedures as for adding the
378 secondary zone. Use different zone name.
380 .. important:: You must execute metadata operations, such as user creation, on a
381 host within the master zone. The master zone and the secondary zone
382 can receive bucket operations, but the secondary zone redirects
383 bucket operations to the master zone. If the master zone is down,
384 bucket operations will fail.
389 Using the URL path, access key and secret of the master zone in the
390 master zone group, pull the realm to the host. To pull a non-default
391 realm, specify the realm using the ``--rgw-realm`` or ``--realm-id``
392 configuration options.
396 # radosgw-admin realm pull --url={url-to-master-zone-gateway} --access-key={access-key} --secret={secret}
398 If this realm is the default realm or the only realm, make the realm the
403 # radosgw-admin realm default --rgw-realm={realm-name}
408 Using the URL path, access key and secret of the master zone in the
409 master zone group, pull the period to the host. To pull a period from a
410 non-default realm, specify the realm using the ``--rgw-realm`` or
411 ``--realm-id`` configuration options.
415 # radosgw-admin period pull --url={url-to-master-zone-gateway} --access-key={access-key} --secret={secret}
418 .. note:: Pulling the period retrieves the latest version of the zone group
419 and zone configurations for the realm.
421 Create a Secondary Zone
422 -----------------------
424 .. important:: Zones must be created on a Ceph Object Gateway node that will be
427 Create a secondary zone for the multi-site configuration by opening a
428 command line interface on a host identified to serve the secondary zone.
429 Specify the zone group ID, the new zone name and an endpoint for the
430 zone. **DO NOT** use the ``--master`` or ``--default`` flags. In Kraken,
431 all zones run in an active-active configuration by
432 default; that is, a gateway client may write data to any zone and the
433 zone will replicate the data to all other zones within the zone group.
434 If the secondary zone should not accept write operations, specify the
435 ``--read-only`` flag to create an active-passive configuration between
436 the master zone and the secondary zone. Additionally, provide the
437 ``access_key`` and ``secret_key`` of the generated system user stored in
438 the master zone of the master zone group. Execute the following:
442 # radosgw-admin zone create --rgw-zonegroup={zone-group-name}\
443 --rgw-zone={zone-name} --endpoints={url} \
444 --access-key={system-key} --secret={secret}\
445 --endpoints=http://{fqdn}:80 \
452 # radosgw-admin zone create --rgw-zonegroup=us --rgw-zone=us-west \
453 --access-key={system-key} --secret={secret} \
454 --endpoints=http://rgw2:80
456 .. important:: The following steps assume a multi-site configuration using newly
457 installed systems that aren’t storing data. **DO NOT DELETE** the
458 ``default`` zone and its pools if you are already using it to store
459 data, or the data will be lost and unrecoverable.
461 Delete the default zone if needed.
465 # radosgw-admin zone delete --rgw-zone=default
467 Finally, delete the default pools in your Ceph storage cluster if
472 # rados rmpool default.rgw.control default.rgw.control --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
473 # rados rmpool default.rgw.data.root default.rgw.data.root --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
474 # rados rmpool default.rgw.gc default.rgw.gc --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
475 # rados rmpool default.rgw.log default.rgw.log --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
476 # rados rmpool default.rgw.users.uid default.rgw.users.uid --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
478 Update the Ceph Configuration File
479 ----------------------------------
481 Update the Ceph configuration file on the secondary zone hosts by adding
482 the ``rgw_zone`` configuration option and the name of the secondary zone
483 to the instance entry.
487 [client.rgw.{instance-name}]
497 rgw frontends = "civetweb port=80"
503 After updating the master zone configuration, update the period.
507 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
509 .. note:: Updating the period changes the epoch, and ensures that other zones
510 will receive the updated configuration.
515 On the object gateway host, start and enable the Ceph Object Gateway
520 # systemctl start ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
521 # systemctl enable ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
523 Check Synchronization Status
524 ----------------------------
526 Once the secondary zone is up and running, check the synchronization
527 status. Synchronization copies users and buckets created in the master
528 zone to the secondary zone.
532 # radosgw-admin sync status
534 The output will provide the status of synchronization operations. For
539 realm f3239bc5-e1a8-4206-a81d-e1576480804d (earth)

548 full sync: 0/128 shards
549 incremental sync: 128/128 shards
550 data is caught up with source
552 .. note:: Secondary zones accept bucket operations; however, secondary zones
553 redirect bucket operations to the master zone and then synchronize
554 with the master zone to receive the result of the bucket operations.
555 If the master zone is down, bucket operations executed on the
556 secondary zone will fail, but object operations should succeed.
562 Checking the Sync Status
563 ------------------------
565 Information about the replication status of a zone can be queried with::
567 $ radosgw-admin sync status
568 realm b3bc1c37-9c44-4b89-a03b-04c269bea5da (earth)

584 incremental sync: 128/128 shards
585 data is caught up with source
587 Changing the Metadata Master Zone
588 ---------------------------------
590 .. important:: Care must be taken when changing which zone is the metadata
591 master. If a zone has not finished syncing metadata from the current master
592 zone, it will be unable to serve any remaining entries when promoted to
593 master and those changes will be lost. For this reason, waiting for a
594 zone's ``radosgw-admin sync status`` to catch up on metadata sync before
595 promoting it to master is recommended.
597 Similarly, if changes to metadata are being processed by the current master
598 zone while another zone is being promoted to master, those changes are
599 likely to be lost. To avoid this, shutting down any ``radosgw`` instances
600 on the previous master zone is recommended. After promoting another zone,
601 its new period can be fetched with ``radosgw-admin period pull`` and the
602 gateway(s) can be restarted.
604 To promote a zone (for example, zone ``us-2`` in zonegroup ``us``) to metadata
605 master, run the following commands on that zone::
607 $ radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-zone=us-2 --master
608 $ radosgw-admin zonegroup modify --rgw-zonegroup=us --master
609 $ radosgw-admin period update --commit
611 This will generate a new period, and the radosgw instance(s) in zone ``us-2``
612 will send this period to other zones.
614 Failover and Disaster Recovery
615 ==============================
617 If the master zone should fail, failover to the secondary zone for
620 1. Make the secondary zone the master and default zone. For example:
624 # radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-zone={zone-name} --master --default
626 By default, Ceph Object Gateway will run in an active-active
627 configuration. If the cluster was configured to run in an
628 active-passive configuration, the secondary zone is a read-only zone.
629 Remove the ``--read-only`` status to allow the zone to receive write
630 operations. For example:
634 # radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-zone={zone-name} --master --default \
637 2. Update the period to make the changes take effect.
641 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
643 3. Finally, restart the Ceph Object Gateway.
647 # systemctl restart ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
649 If the former master zone recovers, revert the operation.
651 1. From the recovered zone, pull the period from the current master
656 # radosgw-admin period pull --url={url-to-master-zone-gateway} \
657 --access-key={access-key} --secret={secret}
659 2. Make the recovered zone the master and default zone.
663 # radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-zone={zone-name} --master --default
665 3. Update the period to make the changes take effect.
669 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
671 4. Then, restart the Ceph Object Gateway in the recovered zone.
675 # systemctl restart ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
677 5. If the secondary zone needs to be a read-only configuration, update
682 # radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-zone={zone-name} --read-only
684 6. Update the period to make the changes take effect.
688 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
690 7. Finally, restart the Ceph Object Gateway in the secondary zone.
694 # systemctl restart ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
696 Migrating a Single Site System to Multi-Site
697 ============================================
699 To migrate from a single site system with a ``default`` zone group and
700 zone to a multi site system, use the following steps:
702 1. Create a realm. Replace ``<name>`` with the realm name.
706 # radosgw-admin realm create --rgw-realm=<name> --default
708 2. Rename the default zone and zonegroup. Replace ``<name>`` with the
709 zonegroup or zone name.
713 # radosgw-admin zonegroup rename --rgw-zonegroup default --zonegroup-new-name=<name>
714 # radosgw-admin zone rename --rgw-zone default --zone-new-name us-east-1 --rgw-zonegroup=<name>
716 3. Configure the master zonegroup. Replace ``<name>`` with the realm or
717 zonegroup name. Replace ``<fqdn>`` with the fully qualified domain
718 name(s) in the zonegroup.
722 # radosgw-admin zonegroup modify --rgw-realm=<name> --rgw-zonegroup=<name> --endpoints http://<fqdn>:80 --master --default
724 4. Configure the master zone. Replace ``<name>`` with the realm,
725 zonegroup or zone name. Replace ``<fqdn>`` with the fully qualified
726 domain name(s) in the zonegroup.
730 # radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-realm=<name> --rgw-zonegroup=<name> \
731 --rgw-zone=<name> --endpoints http://<fqdn>:80 \
732 --access-key=<access-key> --secret=<secret-key> \
735 5. Create a system user. Replace ``<user-id>`` with the username.
736 Replace ``<display-name>`` with a display name. It may contain
741 # radosgw-admin user create --uid=<user-id> --display-name="<display-name>"\
742 --access-key=<access-key> --secret=<secret-key> --system
744 6. Commit the updated configuration.
748 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
750 7. Finally, restart the Ceph Object Gateway.
754 # systemctl restart ceph-radosgw@rgw.`hostname -s`
756 After completing this procedure, proceed to `Configure a Secondary
757 Zone <#configure-secondary-zones>`__ to create a secondary zone
758 in the master zone group.
761 Multi-Site Configuration Reference
762 ==================================
764 The following sections provide additional details and command-line
765 usage for realms, periods, zone groups and zones.
770 A realm represents a globally unique namespace consisting of one or more
771 zonegroups containing one or more zones, and zones containing buckets,
772 which in turn contain objects. A realm enables the Ceph Object Gateway
773 to support multiple namespaces and their configuration on the same
776 A realm contains the notion of periods. Each period represents the state
777 of the zone group and zone configuration in time. Each time you make a
778 change to a zonegroup or zone, update the period and commit it.
780 By default, the Ceph Object Gateway does not create a realm
781 for backward compatibility with Infernalis and earlier releases.
782 However, as a best practice, we recommend creating realms for new
788 To create a realm, execute ``realm create`` and specify the realm name.
789 If the realm is the default, specify ``--default``.
793 # radosgw-admin realm create --rgw-realm={realm-name} [--default]
799 # radosgw-admin realm create --rgw-realm=movies --default
801 By specifying ``--default``, the realm will be called implicitly with
802 each ``radosgw-admin`` call unless ``--rgw-realm`` and the realm name
803 are explicitly provided.
805 Make a Realm the Default
806 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
808 One realm in the list of realms should be the default realm. There may
809 be only one default realm. If there is only one realm and it wasn’t
810 specified as the default realm when it was created, make it the default
811 realm. Alternatively, to change which realm is the default, execute:
815 # radosgw-admin realm default --rgw-realm=movies
817 ..note:: When the realm is default, the command line assumes
818 ``--rgw-realm=<realm-name>`` as an argument.
823 To delete a realm, execute ``realm delete`` and specify the realm name.
827 # radosgw-admin realm delete --rgw-realm={realm-name}
833 # radosgw-admin realm delete --rgw-realm=movies
838 To get a realm, execute ``realm get`` and specify the realm name.
842 #radosgw-admin realm get --rgw-realm=<name>
848 # radosgw-admin realm get --rgw-realm=movies [> filename.json]
850 The CLI will echo a JSON object with the realm properties.
855 "id": "0a68d52e-a19c-4e8e-b012-a8f831cb3ebc",
857 "current_period": "b0c5bbef-4337-4edd-8184-5aeab2ec413b",
861 Use ``>`` and an output file name to output the JSON object to a file.
866 To set a realm, execute ``realm set``, specify the realm name, and
867 ``--infile=`` with an input file name.
871 #radosgw-admin realm set --rgw-realm=<name> --infile=<infilename>
877 # radosgw-admin realm set --rgw-realm=movies --infile=filename.json
882 To list realms, execute ``realm list``.
886 # radosgw-admin realm list
891 To list realm periods, execute ``realm list-periods``.
895 # radosgw-admin realm list-periods
900 To pull a realm from the node containing the master zone group and
901 master zone to a node containing a secondary zone group or zone, execute
902 ``realm pull`` on the node that will receive the realm configuration.
906 # radosgw-admin realm pull --url={url-to-master-zone-gateway} --access-key={access-key} --secret={secret}
911 A realm is not part of the period. Consequently, renaming the realm is
912 only applied locally, and will not get pulled with ``realm pull``. When
913 renaming a realm with multiple zones, run the command on each zone. To
914 rename a realm, execute the following:
918 # radosgw-admin realm rename --rgw-realm=<current-name> --realm-new-name=<new-realm-name>
920 .. note:: DO NOT use ``realm set`` to change the ``name`` parameter. That
921 changes the internal name only. Specifying ``--rgw-realm`` would
922 still use the old realm name.
927 The Ceph Object Gateway supports multi-site deployments and a global
928 namespace by using the notion of zone groups. Formerly called a region
929 in Infernalis, a zone group defines the geographic location of one or more Ceph
930 Object Gateway instances within one or more zones.
932 Configuring zone groups differs from typical configuration procedures,
933 because not all of the settings end up in a Ceph configuration file. You
934 can list zone groups, get a zone group configuration, and set a zone
940 Creating a zone group consists of specifying the zone group name.
941 Creating a zone assumes it will live in the default realm unless
942 ``--rgw-realm=<realm-name>`` is specified. If the zonegroup is the
943 default zonegroup, specify the ``--default`` flag. If the zonegroup is
944 the master zonegroup, specify the ``--master`` flag. For example:
948 # radosgw-admin zonegroup create --rgw-zonegroup=<name> [--rgw-realm=<name>][--master] [--default]
951 .. note:: Use ``zonegroup modify --rgw-zonegroup=<zonegroup-name>`` to modify
952 an existing zone group’s settings.
954 Make a Zone Group the Default
955 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
957 One zonegroup in the list of zonegroups should be the default zonegroup.
958 There may be only one default zonegroup. If there is only one zonegroup
959 and it wasn’t specified as the default zonegroup when it was created,
960 make it the default zonegroup. Alternatively, to change which zonegroup
961 is the default, execute:
965 # radosgw-admin zonegroup default --rgw-zonegroup=comedy
967 .. note:: When the zonegroup is default, the command line assumes
968 ``--rgw-zonegroup=<zonegroup-name>`` as an argument.
970 Then, update the period:
974 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
976 Add a Zone to a Zone Group
977 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
979 To add a zone to a zonegroup, execute the following:
983 # radosgw-admin zonegroup add --rgw-zonegroup=<name> --rgw-zone=<name>
985 Then, update the period:
989 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
991 Remove a Zone from a Zone Group
992 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
994 To remove a zone from a zonegroup, execute the following:
998 # radosgw-admin zonegroup remove --rgw-zonegroup=<name> --rgw-zone=<name>
1000 Then, update the period:
1004 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1009 To rename a zonegroup, execute the following:
1013 # radosgw-admin zonegroup rename --rgw-zonegroup=<name> --zonegroup-new-name=<name>
1015 Then, update the period:
1019 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1024 To delete a zonegroup, execute the following:
1028 # radosgw-admin zonegroup delete --rgw-zonegroup=<name>
1030 Then, update the period:
1034 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1039 A Ceph cluster contains a list of zone groups. To list the zone groups,
1044 # radosgw-admin zonegroup list
1046 The ``radosgw-admin`` returns a JSON formatted list of zone groups.
1051 "default_info": "90b28698-e7c3-462c-a42d-4aa780d24eda",
1057 Get a Zone Group Map
1058 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1060 To list the details of each zone group, execute:
1064 # radosgw-admin zonegroup-map get
1066 .. note:: If you receive a ``failed to read zonegroup map`` error, run
1067 ``radosgw-admin zonegroup-map update`` as ``root`` first.
1072 To view the configuration of a zone group, execute:
1076 radosgw-admin zonegroup get [--rgw-zonegroup=<zonegroup>]
1078 The zone group configuration looks like this:
1083 "id": "90b28698-e7c3-462c-a42d-4aa780d24eda",
1086 "is_master": "true",
1091 "hostnames_s3website": [],
1092 "master_zone": "9248cab2-afe7-43d8-a661-a40bf316665e",
1095 "id": "9248cab2-afe7-43d8-a661-a40bf316665e",
1102 "bucket_index_max_shards": 0,
1103 "read_only": "false"
1106 "id": "d1024e59-7d28-49d1-8222-af101965a939",
1111 "log_meta": "false",
1113 "bucket_index_max_shards": 0,
1114 "read_only": "false"
1117 "placement_targets": [
1119 "name": "default-placement",
1123 "default_placement": "default-placement",
1124 "realm_id": "ae031368-8715-4e27-9a99-0c9468852cfe"
1130 Defining a zone group consists of creating a JSON object, specifying at
1131 least the required settings:
1133 1. ``name``: The name of the zone group. Required.
1135 2. ``api_name``: The API name for the zone group. Optional.
1137 3. ``is_master``: Determines if the zone group is the master zone group.
1138 Required. **note:** You can only have one master zone group.
1140 4. ``endpoints``: A list of all the endpoints in the zone group. For
1141 example, you may use multiple domain names to refer to the same zone
1142 group. Remember to escape the forward slashes (``\/``). You may also
1143 specify a port (``fqdn:port``) for each endpoint. Optional.
1145 5. ``hostnames``: A list of all the hostnames in the zone group. For
1146 example, you may use multiple domain names to refer to the same zone
1147 group. Optional. The ``rgw dns name`` setting will automatically be
1148 included in this list. You should restart the gateway daemon(s) after
1149 changing this setting.
1151 6. ``master_zone``: The master zone for the zone group. Optional. Uses
1152 the default zone if not specified. **note:** You can only have one
1153 master zone per zone group.
1155 7. ``zones``: A list of all zones within the zone group. Each zone has a
1156 name (required), a list of endpoints (optional), and whether or not
1157 the gateway will log metadata and data operations (false by default).
1159 8. ``placement_targets``: A list of placement targets (optional). Each
1160 placement target contains a name (required) for the placement target
1161 and a list of tags (optional) so that only users with the tag can use
1162 the placement target (i.e., the user’s ``placement_tags`` field in
1165 9. ``default_placement``: The default placement target for the object
1166 index and object data. Set to ``default-placement`` by default. You
1167 may also set a per-user default placement in the user info for each
1170 To set a zone group, create a JSON object consisting of the required
1171 fields, save the object to a file (e.g., ``zonegroup.json``); then,
1172 execute the following command:
1176 # radosgw-admin zonegroup set --infile zonegroup.json
1178 Where ``zonegroup.json`` is the JSON file you created.
1180 .. important:: The ``default`` zone group ``is_master`` setting is ``true`` by
1181 default. If you create a new zone group and want to make it the
1182 master zone group, you must either set the ``default`` zone group
1183 ``is_master`` setting to ``false``, or delete the ``default`` zone
1186 Finally, update the period:
1190 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1192 Set a Zone Group Map
1193 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1195 Setting a zone group map consists of creating a JSON object consisting
1196 of one or more zone groups, and setting the ``master_zonegroup`` for the
1197 cluster. Each zone group in the zone group map consists of a key/value
1198 pair, where the ``key`` setting is equivalent to the ``name`` setting
1199 for an individual zone group configuration, and the ``val`` is a JSON
1200 object consisting of an individual zone group configuration.
1202 You may only have one zone group with ``is_master`` equal to ``true``,
1203 and it must be specified as the ``master_zonegroup`` at the end of the
1204 zone group map. The following JSON object is an example of a default
1212 "key": "90b28698-e7c3-462c-a42d-4aa780d24eda",
1214 "id": "90b28698-e7c3-462c-a42d-4aa780d24eda",
1217 "is_master": "true",
1222 "hostnames_s3website": [],
1223 "master_zone": "9248cab2-afe7-43d8-a661-a40bf316665e",
1226 "id": "9248cab2-afe7-43d8-a661-a40bf316665e",
1233 "bucket_index_max_shards": 0,
1234 "read_only": "false"
1237 "id": "d1024e59-7d28-49d1-8222-af101965a939",
1242 "log_meta": "false",
1244 "bucket_index_max_shards": 0,
1245 "read_only": "false"
1248 "placement_targets": [
1250 "name": "default-placement",
1254 "default_placement": "default-placement",
1255 "realm_id": "ae031368-8715-4e27-9a99-0c9468852cfe"
1259 "master_zonegroup": "90b28698-e7c3-462c-a42d-4aa780d24eda",
1272 To set a zone group map, execute the following:
1276 # radosgw-admin zonegroup-map set --infile zonegroupmap.json
1278 Where ``zonegroupmap.json`` is the JSON file you created. Ensure that
1279 you have zones created for the ones specified in the zone group map.
1280 Finally, update the period.
1284 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1289 Ceph Object Gateway supports the notion of zones. A zone defines a
1290 logical group consisting of one or more Ceph Object Gateway instances.
1292 Configuring zones differs from typical configuration procedures, because
1293 not all of the settings end up in a Ceph configuration file. You can
1294 list zones, get a zone configuration and set a zone configuration.
1299 To create a zone, specify a zone name. If it is a master zone, specify
1300 the ``--master`` option. Only one zone in a zone group may be a master
1301 zone. To add the zone to a zonegroup, specify the ``--rgw-zonegroup``
1302 option with the zonegroup name.
1306 # radosgw-admin zone create --rgw-zone=<name> \
1307 [--zonegroup=<zonegroup-name]\
1308 [--endpoints=<endpoint>[,<endpoint>] \
1309 [--master] [--default] \
1310 --access-key $SYSTEM_ACCESS_KEY --secret $SYSTEM_SECRET_KEY
1312 Then, update the period:
1316 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1321 To delete zone, first remove it from the zonegroup.
1325 # radosgw-admin zonegroup remove --zonegroup=<name>\
1328 Then, update the period:
1332 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1334 Next, delete the zone. Execute the following:
1338 # radosgw-admin zone delete --rgw-zone<name>
1340 Finally, update the period:
1344 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1346 .. important:: Do not delete a zone without removing it from a zone group first.
1347 Otherwise, updating the period will fail.
1349 If the pools for the deleted zone will not be used anywhere else,
1350 consider deleting the pools. Replace ``<del-zone>`` in the example below
1351 with the deleted zone’s name.
1353 .. important:: Only delete the pools with prepended zone names. Deleting the root
1354 pool, such as, ``.rgw.root`` will remove all of the system’s
1357 .. important:: Once the pools are deleted, all of the data within them are deleted
1358 in an unrecoverable manner. Only delete the pools if the pool
1359 contents are no longer needed.
1363 # rados rmpool <del-zone>.rgw.control <del-zone>.rgw.control --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
1364 # rados rmpool <del-zone>.rgw.data.root <del-zone>.rgw.data.root --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
1365 # rados rmpool <del-zone>.rgw.gc <del-zone>.rgw.gc --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
1366 # rados rmpool <del-zone>.rgw.log <del-zone>.rgw.log --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
1367 # rados rmpool <del-zone>.rgw.users.uid <del-zone>.rgw.users.uid --yes-i-really-really-mean-it
1372 To modify a zone, specify the zone name and the parameters you wish to
1377 # radosgw-admin zone modify [options]
1379 Where ``[options]``:
1381 - ``--access-key=<key>``
1382 - ``--secret/--secret-key=<key>``
1385 - ``--endpoints=<list>``
1387 Then, update the period:
1391 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1396 As ``root``, to list the zones in a cluster, execute:
1400 # radosgw-admin zone list
1405 As ``root``, to get the configuration of a zone, execute:
1409 # radosgw-admin zone get [--rgw-zone=<zone>]
1411 The ``default`` zone looks like this:
1415 { "domain_root": ".rgw",
1416 "control_pool": ".rgw.control",
1417 "gc_pool": ".rgw.gc",
1419 "intent_log_pool": ".intent-log",
1420 "usage_log_pool": ".usage",
1421 "user_keys_pool": ".users",
1422 "user_email_pool": ".users.email",
1423 "user_swift_pool": ".users.swift",
1424 "user_uid_pool": ".users.uid",
1425 "system_key": { "access_key": "", "secret_key": ""},
1426 "placement_pools": [
1427 { "key": "default-placement",
1428 "val": { "index_pool": ".rgw.buckets.index",
1429 "data_pool": ".rgw.buckets"}
1437 Configuring a zone involves specifying a series of Ceph Object Gateway
1438 pools. For consistency, we recommend using a pool prefix that is the
1439 same as the zone name. See
1440 `Pools <http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/rados/operations/pools/#pools>`__
1441 for details of configuring pools.
1443 To set a zone, create a JSON object consisting of the pools, save the
1444 object to a file (e.g., ``zone.json``); then, execute the following
1445 command, replacing ``{zone-name}`` with the name of the zone:
1449 # radosgw-admin zone set --rgw-zone={zone-name} --infile zone.json
1451 Where ``zone.json`` is the JSON file you created.
1453 Then, as ``root``, update the period:
1457 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1462 To rename a zone, specify the zone name and the new zone name.
1466 # radosgw-admin zone rename --rgw-zone=<name> --zone-new-name=<name>
1468 Then, update the period:
1472 # radosgw-admin period update --commit
1474 Zone Group and Zone Settings
1475 ----------------------------
1477 When configuring a default zone group and zone, the pool name includes
1478 the zone name. For example:
1480 - ``default.rgw.control``
1482 To change the defaults, include the following settings in your Ceph
1483 configuration file under each ``[client.radosgw.{instance-name}]``
