NAME
rados - rados object storage utility
SYNOPSIS
rados [ -m monaddr ] [ mkpool | rmpool foo ] [ -p | --pool
pool ] [ -s | --snap snap ] [ -i infile ] [ -o outfile ]
command ...
DESCRIPTION
rados is a utility for interacting with a Ceph object storage cluster (RADOS), part of the Ceph
distributed storage system.
OPTIONS
-p pool, --pool pool
Interact with the given pool. Required by most commands.
-s snap, --snap snap
Read from the given pool snapshot. Valid for all pool-specific read operations.
-i infile
will specify an input file to be passed along as a payload with the command to the monitor
cluster. This is only used for specific monitor commands.
-o outfile
will write any payload returned by the monitor cluster with its reply to outfile. Only specific
monitor commands (e.g. osd getmap) return a payload.
-c ceph.conf, --conf=ceph.conf
Use ceph.conf configuration file instead of the default /etc/ceph/ceph.conf to determine monitor
addresses during startup.
-m monaddress[:port]
Connect to specified monitor (instead of looking through ceph.conf).
-b block_size
Set the block size for put/get ops and for write benchmarking.
--striper
Uses the striping API of rados rather than the default one. Available for stat, get, put,
truncate, rm, ls and all xattr related operation
GLOBAL COMMANDS
lspools
List object pools
df Show utilization statistics, including disk usage (bytes) and object counts, over the entire
system and broken down by pool.
mkpool foo
Create a pool with name foo.
rmpool foo [ foo --yes-i-really-really-mean-it ]
Delete the pool foo (and all its data)
POOL SPECIFIC COMMANDS
get name outfile
Read object name from the cluster and write it to outfile.
put name infile
Write object name to the cluster with contents from infile.
rm name
Remove object name.
listwatchers name
List the watchers of object name.
ls outfile
List objects in given pool and write to outfile.
lssnap List snapshots for given pool.
clonedata srcname dstname --object-locator key
Clone object byte data from srcname to dstname. Both objects must be stored with the locator key
key (usually either srcname or dstname). Object attributes and omap keys are not copied or
cloned.
mksnap foo
Create pool snapshot named foo.
rmsnap foo
Remove pool snapshot named foo.
bench seconds mode [ -b objsize ] [ -t threads ]
Benchmark for seconds. The mode can be write, seq, or rand. seq and rand are read benchmarks,
either sequential or random. Before running one of the reading benchmarks, run a write benchmark
with the --no-cleanup option. The default object size is 4 MB, and the default number of simulated
threads (parallel writes) is 16. The --run-name <label> option is useful for benchmarking a
workload test from multiple clients. The <label> is an arbitrary object name. It is
"benchmark_last_metadata" by default, and is used as the underlying object name for "read" and
"write" ops. Note: -b objsize option is valid only in write mode. Note: write and seq must be
run on the same host otherwise the objects created by write will have names that will fail seq.
cleanup
listomapkeys name
List all the keys stored in the object map of object name.
listomapvals name
List all key/value pairs stored in the object map of object name. The values are dumped in
hexadecimal.
getomapval [ --omap-key-file file ] name key [ out-file ]
Dump the hexadecimal value of key in the object map of object name. If the optional out-file
argument isn't provided, the value will be written to standard output.
setomapval [ --omap-key-file file ] name key [ value ]
Set the value of key in the object map of object name. If the optional value argument isn't
provided, the value will be read from standard input.
rmomapkey [ --omap-key-file file ] name key
Remove key from the object map of object name.
getomapheader name
Dump the hexadecimal value of the object map header of object name.
setomapheader name value
Set the value of the object map header of object name.
EXAMPLES
To view cluster utilization:
rados df
To get a list object in pool foo sent to stdout:
rados -p foo ls -
To write an object:
rados -p foo put myobject blah.txt
To create a snapshot:
rados -p foo mksnap mysnap
To delete the object:
rados -p foo rm myobject
To read a previously snapshotted version of an object:
rados -p foo -s mysnap get myobject blah.txt.old
AVAILABILITY
rados is part of Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source, distributed storage system. Please refer to the
