Hi,

I've rebuilt a new Proxmox 6.2/Ceph 15.2.6 cluster, and I noticed this error both in the UI, and under ceph health:

Code:
# ceph health detail
HEALTH_WARN Module 'volumes' has failed dependency: No module named 'distutils.util'
[WRN] MGR_MODULE_DEPENDENCY: Module 'volumes' has failed dependency: No module named 'distutils.util'
    Module 'volumes' has failed dependency: No module named 'distutils.util'
Is this some kind of Python/packaging error? (I'm using the Proxmox provided Ceph packages).

Has anybody else seen it, or know what the fix is?

Thanks,
Victor
 
seems like a dependency on 'python3-distutils' is missing in 'ceph-mgr-modules-core'
 
I just ran "apt install python3-distutils" on all nodes in my cluster, and I am still seeing that error.

I even rebooted the node, same error.

Any thoughts?
 
Hello all. Same issue popped up for me in the last couple of days some time. I imagine with the recent proxmox upgrade, but ceph also bumped up a version.

Similarly, I installed the noted package no all nodes, and am unable to `ceph health` without:

`HEALTH_WARN Module 'volumes' has failed dependency: No module named 'distutils.util';`
 
I just ran "apt install python3-distutils" on all nodes in my cluster, and I am still seeing that error.

I even rebooted the node, same error.

Any thoughts?

I think you might need to restart ceph-mgr on all nodes after installing the package..
