Introducing a playbook helper to control a ceph cluster that was not
deployed with ceph ansible.
The procedure is rather simple. If the cluster was deployed with the
following project there won’t be any issue:
* Ceph Deploy
* Puppet Ceph
* Chef Ceph
* Any other deployment tool that relies on ceph-disk
The procedure comes as fellow:
1. Install Ansible and add your monitors and osds hosts in it. For more
detailed information you can read the Ceph Ansible Wiki
2. Set generate_fsid: false in group_vars
3. Get your current cluster fsid with ceph fsid and set cluster_fsid
accordingly in group_vars
4. Run the playbook called: take-over-existing-cluster.yml like this
ansible-playbook take-over-existing-cluster.yml.
5. Eventually run Ceph Ansible to validate everything by doing:
ansible-playbook site.yml.
