This post is on how to setup OSA ( Openstack Ansible) with CEPH, where both projects are independent of one another.

  1. Setup CEPH using ceph-ansible.
  2. Create the necessary pools and logins . For example, here I am using the same CEPH storage for 2 different OpenStack Setups.
ceph osd pool create osa-volumes 
ceph osd pool create osa-images
ceph osd pool create osa-vms
ceph osd pool create osa-backups

ceph osd pool create kolla-volumes
ceph osd pool create kolla-images
ceph osd pool create kolla-vms
ceph osd pool create kolla-backups

ceph auth get-or-create client.ocinder mon 'allow r' osd 'allow class-read object_prefix rbd_children, allow rwx pool=osa-volumes, allow rwx pool=osa-backups, allow rwx pool=osa-vms, allow rx pool=osa-images'
ceph auth get-or-create client.oglance mon 'allow r' osd 'allow class-read object_prefix rbd_children, allow rwx pool=osa-images'

ceph auth get-or-create client.kcinder mon 'allow r' osd 'allow class-read object_prefix rbd_children, allow rwx pool=kolla-volumes, allow rwx pool=kolla-backups, allow rwx pool=kolla-vms, allow rx pool=kolla-images'
ceph auth get-or-create client.kglance mon 'allow r' osd 'allow class-read object_prefix rbd_children, allow rwx pool=kolla-images'


In your  /etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml

generate_fsid: false
fsid: $fsid ## output of 'ceph fsid' command from ceph-mon

# make sure your osa-deploy can SSH to the mons IP
ceph_mons:
- x.y.z.1
- x.y.z.2
- x.y.z.3
