puppet-beegfs

Upgrade from deric-beegfs version 0.4.x to 0.5.x

• beegfs::storage_directory expects an Array instead of just String
• parameter beegfs::major_version renamed to beegfs::release
• beegfs::client::client_udp renamed to beegfs::client::client_udp_port

Usage

First of all choose which release to use, by defining:

beegfs::release: '6'

valid values are:

• '2015.03'
• '6'
• '7'
• '7.1'

You'll need one mgmtd server:

class { 'beegfs::mgmtd': }

in order to accept new storage and meta servers you have to (at least temporarily) enable allow_new_servers and allow_new_targets.

And probably many storage and meta servers:

class { 'beegfs::meta':
  mgmtd_host => 192.168.1.1,
}
class { 'beegfs::storage':
  mgmtd_host => 192.168.1.1,
}

It's easier to define shared settings for all servers at one place (Hiera, e.g. default.yaml):

beegfs::mgmtd_host: '192.168.1.1'

so that you don't have to specify mgmtd_host for each component.

defining a mount

beegfs::mount{ 'mnt-share':
  cfg => '/etc/beegfs/beegfs-client.conf',
  mnt   => '/mnt/share',
  user  => 'beegfs',
  group => 'beegfs',
}

Interfaces and networks

For meta and storage nodes you can specify interfaces for communication. The passed argument must be an array.

class { 'beegfs::meta':
  mgmtd_host => 192.168.1.1,
  interfaces => ['eth0', 'ib0'],
}
class { 'beegfs::storage':
  mgmtd_host => 192.168.1.1,
  interfaces => ['eth0', 'ib0']
}

In some cases, interfaces can have multiple ips, and only a subset of them should be used. In this case, the list of allowed subnets can be passed as the networks parameter. It should be an array if specified.

class { 'beegfs::meta':
  mgmtd_host => 192.168.1.1,
  interfaces => ['eth0', 'ib0'],
  networks => ['192.168.1.0/24'],
}

Initialization

mgmtd

If beegfs::allow_first_run_init is true you may skip this step.

beegfs-setup-mgmtd -p /mnt/myraid1/beegfs-mgmtd

meta

If beegfs::allow_first_run_init is true you may skip this step.

Example 1

Initialize metadata storage directory of first metadata server and set "storage01" as management daemon host in config file:

beegfs-setup-meta -p /mnt/myraid1/beegfs-meta -s 1 -m storage01

Hiera support

All configuration could be specified in Hiera config files. Some settings are shared between all components, like:

beegfs::mgmtd_host: '192.168.1.1'
beegfs::mgmtd::allow_new_servers: true
beegfs::mgmtd::allow_new_targets: true
beegfs::release: 6

version could be also defined exactly, like:

beegfs::version: '2015.03.r9.debian7'

for module specific setting use correct namespace, e.g.:

beegfs::meta::interfaces:
  - 'eth0'

Recent releases of Linux Kernel might include "deterministic interfaces naming" (like enp0s31f6) that requires specifying which interface should be BeeGFS instances using:

beegfs::client::interfaces:
  - "%{facts.networking.primary}"
beegfs::meta::interfaces:
  - "%{facts.networking.primary}"
beegfs::storage::interfaces:
  - "%{facts.networking.primary}"

Requirements

• Ruby 2.0 or newer
• at least Puppet 4.9
