DeepSea stage 4 fails when there are NFS Ganesha changes

This document (7023578) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

SUSE Enterprise Storage 5

SUSE Enterprise Storage 5.5

Situation

When making changes to the NFS Ganesha configuration, for example adding and / or removing nodes, running stage 4 to implement the changes fails for each configured Ganesha node with:

ganesha_node.hwlab.suse.de:
----------
ID: wait for all processes
Function: module.run
Name: cephprocesses.wait
Result: False
Comment: Module function cephprocesses.wait executed
Started: 16:48:32.313124
Duration: 135277.053 ms
Changes:
----------
ret:
False

When looking directly on the node, no changes were made and none of the Ganesha RPMs were installed.

Resolution

The current workaround is to run the Ganesha stage directly by executing:

# salt-run state.orch ceph.stage.ganesha

Cause

Missing jinja conditional in the main Ganesha configuration file.

Additional Information

Note that when running the Ganesha stage directly, the following error will still be seen for the designated Ganesha nodes:

[ERROR   ] Run failed on minions: vm-hanode1.hwlab.suse.de, vm-hanode2.hwlab.suse.de

The above error is not critical, the relevant conf file will be created once a new NFS export is created via openATTIC for the relevant Ganesha nodes.
