Add existing Ceph cluster

[Leo David]

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if my question is redundant, but I can't find a way to add my already running ceph cluster to a new single instance proxmox 5.0 BETA fresh installation.
I followed https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Ceph_Server#Ceph_Client , and:
- I've created /etc/pve/priv/ceph directory, and copied there my ceph.client.admin.keyring under the name "ceph_storage.keyring"
- I've added rbd storage "ceph_storage", specified monitors and pool.

But i only get "pveceph configuration not initialized (500)" error

Is there something else that I need to do or configure to be able to connect to my ceph cluster ?

Thank you very much !

Hi,
where you got the error?
The ceph-section is for "pveceph" only. But as storage you should see the ceph-storage and with the right key you see the size also.

Hi,
Thank you, you are perfectly right ! Now external ceph can be accesed. I decide after, to create cehp cluster within proxmox. But i just cannot install jewel, it gives me an error:

pveceph install --version jewel
400 Parameter verification failed.
version: value 'jewel' does not have a value in the enumeration 'luminous'
pveceph install [OPTIONS]

Do you have any ideea why is this happening ? Also http://download.proxmox.com/debian/ doesn't contain any "ceph-jewel" repo.
Is there a way to get Jewel on Proxmox 5 ?

Thank you !

PVE 5 only has Ceph Luminous support at the moment (note that Ceph Luminous is a dev release still).

So I have to reinstall all nodes...
For Proxmox4 is there a procedure to upgrade to Jewel considering I am not paying for enterprise repos yet ?

PVE 4.4 supports both Hammer and Jewel, with packages from ceph.com ("pveceph install" will configure the repository and install the packages, no need to do anything manually). I recommend using Jewel, as Hammer is pretty much EOL upstream except for fixing bugs relating to upgrading to Jewel or later.
