We recently upgraded our Ceph cluster from the latest version of Hammer to 10.2.7 (Jewel). Here are the steps that we used in order to complete the upgrade. Due to a change in Ceph daemon permissions, this specific upgrade required an additional step of using chmod to change file permissions for each daemon directory.

Set the cluster to the ‘noout’ state so that we can perform the upgrade without any data movement:
ceph osd set noout

From the Ceph-deploy control node upgrade monitor nodes first:
ceph-deploy install --release jewel ceph-mon1 ceph-mon2 ceph-mon3

On each monitor node:
stop ceph-mon-all
cd /var/lib/ceph
chown -R ceph:ceph /var/lib/ceph/
start ceph-mon-all

Next move on to the OSD nodes:
ceph-deploy install --release jewel ceph-osd1 ceph-osd2 ceph-osd3 ceph-osd4

Add the following line to /etc/ceph/ceph.conf on each OSD (this will allow the ceph daemons to startup using the old permission scheme):
setuser match path = /var/lib/ceph/$type/$cluster-$id

Stop OSD’s and restart them on each node:
stop ceph-osd-all
start ceph-osd-all

Don’t forget to unset noout from the admin node:
ceph osd unset noout

Once the cluster is all healthy again and you have some time make the necessary permission changes for the OSD daemons you can do the following:

Set noout:
ceph osd set noout

Log onto to each OSD node 1 at a time and run the following commands:
find /var/lib/ceph/osd -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -print | xargs -P12 -n1 chown -R root:root

stop ceph-osd-all

find /var/lib/ceph/osd -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -print | xargs -P12 -n1 chown -R ceph:ceph

chown -R ceph:ceph /var/lib/ceph/

Comment out the setuser line in ceph.conf and restart OSD’s:
#setuser match path = /var/lib/ceph/$type/$cluster-$id
start ceph-osd-all

Don’t forget to unset noout from the admin node:
ceph osd unset noout
