RADOS Ceph RADOS

NAME
rados - rados object storage utility

SYNOPSIS
rados [ options ] [ 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 spe‐
cific 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/append ops and for write bench‐
marking.
--striper
Uses the striping API of rados rather than the default one.
Available for stat, stat2, get, put, append, 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.
list-inconsistent-pg pool
List inconsistent PGs in given pool.
list-inconsistent-obj pgid
List inconsistent objects in given PG.
list-inconsistent-snapset pgid
List inconsistent snapsets in given PG.

POOL SPECIFIC COMMANDS
get name outfile
Read object name from the cluster and write it to outfile.

put name infile [--offset offset]
Write object name with start offset (default:0) to the cluster
with contents from infile. Warning: The put command creates a
single RADOS object, sized just as large as your input file.
Unless your objects are of reasonable and consistent sizes, that
is probably not what you want -- consider using RGW/S3, CephFS,
or RBD instead.
append name infile
Append 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 bench‐
mark 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 &lt;label&gt; option is useful for
benchmarking a workload test from multiple clients. The &lt;label&gt;
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 other‐
wise the objects created by write will have names that will fail
seq.
cleanup [ --run-name run_name ] [ --prefix prefix ]
Clean up a previous benchmark operation. Note: the default
run-name is "benchmark_last_metadata"
listxattr name
List all extended attributes of an object.
getxattr name attr
Dump the extended attribute value of attr of an object.
setxattr name attr value
Set the value of attr in the extended attributes of an object.
rmxattr name attr
Remove attr from the extended attributes of an object.
stat name
Get stat (ie. mtime, size) of given object
stat2 name
Get stat (similar to stat, but with high precision time) of
given object
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 is not 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 is not 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.
export filename
Serialize pool contents to a file or standard output.n"
import [--dry-run] [--no-overwrite] < filename | - >
Load pool contents from a file or standard input

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
To list inconsistent objects in PG 0.6:
rados list-inconsistent-obj 0.6 --format=json-pretty

AVAILABILITY
rados is part of Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source, distributed
storage system. Please refer to the Ceph documentation at
