SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables operators to interact with MicroCeph clusters to perform common administration tasks, diagnose issues, and maintain healthy clusters with minimal manual steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CLI-first operations: use microceph CLI for read-only checks and AWX for cluster changes.
  • Vault-backed credentials: fetch secrets securely for automation.
  • Environment-aware workflows: distinguish production and development clusters for safe operations.
  • Use Case: verify cluster health, manage OSDs, and configure pools with guided prompts and automation.

Quick Start

From a management host, start with a read-only check: ssh [email protected] "sudo microceph.ceph -s" For automated changes, launch the AWX MicroCeph Management job: awx job_template launch "MicroCeph Management" --extra_vars '{"operation":"status","environment":"production"}' --monitor

FAQPage Schema
How do I check MicroCeph cluster health and OSD status?

To check MicroCeph cluster health and OSD status, use the microceph CLI via SSH for read-only verification, executing commands like sudo microceph.ceph -s to monitor storage components.

How do I automate MicroCeph pool configuration and CRUSH map management?

Automate MicroCeph pool configuration and CRUSH map management by launching the AWX MicroCeph Management job template, passing operation variables to apply cluster changes across environments.

Does MicroCeph automation require Vault for credentials management?

MicroCeph automation requires Vault for credentials management to securely fetch secrets needed for AWX job execution and SSH access to cluster nodes for verification.

Can I manage production and development MicroCeph clusters differently?

You can distinguish production and development MicroCeph clusters using environment-aware workflows, passing the environment variable in AWX job templates to ensure safe operations.

What's the best way to perform OSD operations on a Ceph storage cluster?

Perform Ceph storage cluster OSD operations through guided prompts and automation using microceph CLI for checks and AWX for changes, maintaining cluster health with minimal manual steps.
