+h2. Introduction
+
Keepstore provides access to underlying storage for reading and writing content-addressed blocks, with enforcement of Arvados permissions. Keepstore supports a variety of cloud object storage and POSIX filesystems for its backing store.
-We recommend installing at least two Keepstore servers. By convention, we use the following hostname pattern:
+h3. Plan your storage layout
+
+In the steps below, you will configure a number of backend storage volumes (like local filesystems and S3 buckets) and specify which keepstore servers have read-only and read-write access to which volumes.
+
+It is possible to configure arbitrary server/volume layouts. However, in order to provide good performance and efficient use of storage resources, we strongly recommend using one of the following layouts:
+
+# Each volume is writable by exactly one server, and optionally readable by one or more other servers. The total capacity of all writable volumes is the same for each server.
+# Each volume is writable by all servers. Each volume has enough built-in redundancy to satisfy your requirements, i.e., you do not need Arvados to mirror data across multiple volumes.
+
+We recommend starting off with two Keepstore servers. Exact server specifications will be site and workload specific, but in general keepstore will be I/O bound and should be set up to maximize aggregate bandwidth with compute nodes. To increase capacity (either space or throughput) it is straightforward to add additional servers, or (in cloud environments) to increase the machine size of the existing servers.
+
+By convention, we use the following hostname pattern:
<div class="offset1">
table(table table-bordered table-condensed).
-|_Hostname_|
-|keep0.@uuid_prefix@.your.domain|
-|keep1.@uuid_prefix@.your.domain|
+|_. Hostname|
+|@keep0.ClusterID.example.com@|
+|@keep1.ClusterID.example.com@|
</div>
Keepstore servers should not be directly accessible from the Internet (they are accessed via "keepproxy":install-keepproxy.html), so the hostnames only need to resolve on the private network.
-h2. Install Keepstore
+h2(#update-config). Update cluster config
-On Debian-based systems:
+h3. Configure storage volumes
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get install keepstore</span>
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
+Fill in the @Volumes@ section of @config.yml@ for each storage volume. Available storage volume types include POSIX filesystems and cloud object storage. It is possible to have different volume types in the same cluster.
-On Red Hat-based systems:
+* To use a POSIX filesystem, including both local filesystems (ext4, xfs) and network file system such as GPFS or Lustre, follow the setup instructions on "Filesystem storage":configure-fs-storage.html
+* If you are using S3-compatible object storage (including Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Ceph RADOS), follow the setup instructions on "S3 Object Storage":configure-s3-object-storage.html
+* If you are using Azure Blob Storage, follow the setup instructions on "Azure Blob Storage":configure-azure-blob-storage.html
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo yum install keepstore</span>
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
+There are a number of general configuration parameters for Keepstore. They are described in the "configuration reference":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/config.html. In particular, you probably want to change @API/MaxKeepBlobBuffers@ to align Keepstore's memory usage with the available memory on the machine that hosts it.
+
+h3. List services
-Verify that Keepstore is functional:
+Add each keepstore server to the @Services.Keepstore@ section of @/etc/arvados/config.yml@ .
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">keepstore --version</span>
+<pre><code> Services:
+ Keepstore:
+ # No ExternalURL because they are only accessed by the internal subnet.
+ InternalURLs:
+ "http://<span class="userinput">keep0.ClusterID.example.com</span>:25107": {}
+ "http://<span class="userinput">keep1.ClusterID.example.com</span>:25107": {}
+ # and so forth
</code></pre>
</notextile>
-h3. Create config file
-
-By default, keepstore will look for its configuration file at @/etc/arvados/keepstore/keepstore.yml@
-
-You can override the configuration file location using the @-config@ command line option to keepstore.
-
-The following is a sample configuration file:
-
-<pre>
-# Duration for which new permission signatures (returned in PUT
-# responses) will be valid. This should be equal to the API
-# server's blob_signature_ttl configuration entry.
-BlobSignatureTTL: 336h0m0s
-
-# Local file containing the secret blob signing key (used to generate
-# and verify blob signatures). The contents of the key file must be
-# identical to the API server's blob_signing_key configuration entry.
-BlobSigningKeyFile: ""
-
-# Print extra debug logging
-Debug: false
-
-# Maximum number of concurrent block deletion operations (per
-# volume) when emptying trash. Default is 1.
-EmptyTrashWorkers: 1
-
-# Enable trash and delete features. If false, trash lists will be
-# accepted but blocks will not be trashed or deleted.
-# Keepstore does not delete data on its own. The keep-balance
-# service determines which blocks are candidates for deletion
-# and instructs the keepstore to move those blocks to the trash.
-EnableDelete: true
-
-# Local port to listen on. Can be 'address:port' or ':port', where
-# 'address' is a host IP address or name and 'port' is a port number
-# or name.
-Listen: :25107
-
-# Format of request/response and error logs: "json" or "text".
-LogFormat: json
-ManagementToken: ""
-
-# Maximum RAM to use for data buffers, given in multiples of block
-# size (64 MiB). When this limit is reached, HTTP requests requiring
-# buffers (like GET and PUT) will wait for buffer space to be
-# released.
-#
-# It should be set such that MaxBuffers * 64MiB + 10% fits
-# comfortably in memory. On a host dedicated to running keepstore,
-# divide total memory by 88MiB to suggest a suitable value. For example,
-# if grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo reports MemTotal: 7125440 kB,
-# compute 7125440 / (88 * 1024)=79 and configure MaxBuffers: 79
-MaxBuffers: 128
-
-# Maximum concurrent requests. When this limit is reached, new
-# requests will receive 503 responses. Note: this limit does not
-# include idle connections from clients using HTTP keepalive, so it
-# does not strictly limit the number of concurrent connections. If
-# omitted or zero, the default is 2 * MaxBuffers.
-MaxRequests: 0
-
-# Path to write PID file during startup. This file is kept open and
-# locked with LOCK_EX until keepstore exits, so "fuser -k pidfile" is
-# one way to shut down. Exit immediately if there is an error
-# opening, locking, or writing the PID file.
-PIDFile: ""
-
-# Maximum number of concurrent pull operations. Default is 1, i.e.,
-# pull lists are processed serially.
-PullWorkers: 0
-
-# Honor read requests only if a valid signature is provided. This
-# should be true, except for development use and when migrating from
-# a very old version.
-RequireSignatures: true
-
-# Local file containing the Arvados API token used by keep-balance
-# or data manager. Delete, trash, and index requests are honored
-# only for this token.
-SystemAuthTokenFile: ""
-
-# Path to server certificate file in X509 format. Enables TLS mode.
-#
-# Example: /var/lib/acme/live/keep0.example.com/fullchain
-TLSCertificateFile: ""
-
-# Path to server key file in X509 format. Enables TLS mode.
-#
-# The key pair is read from disk during startup, and whenever SIGHUP
-# is received.
-#
-# Example: /var/lib/acme/live/keep0.example.com/privkey
-TLSKeyFile: ""
-
-# How often to check for (and delete) trashed blocks whose
-# TrashLifetime has expired.
-TrashCheckInterval: 24h0m0s
-
-# Time duration after a block is trashed during which it can be
-# recovered using an /untrash request.
-TrashLifetime: 336h0m0s
-
-# Maximum number of concurrent trash operations. Default is 1, i.e.,
-# trash lists are processed serially.
-TrashWorkers: 1
-</pre>
-
-h3. Notes on storage management
-
-On its own, a keepstore server never deletes data. The "keep-balance":install-keep-balance.html service service determines which blocks are candidates for deletion and instructs the keepstore to move those blocks to the trash.
-
-When a block is newly written, it is protected from deletion for the duration in @BlobSignatureTTL@. During this time, it cannot be trashed.
-
-If keep-balance instructs keepstore to trash a block which is older than @BlobSignatureTTL@, and @EnableDelete@ is true, the block will be moved to "trash".
-
-h3. Configure storage volumes
-
-Available storage volume types include cloud object storage and POSIX filesystems.
+{% assign arvados_component = 'keepstore' %}
-If you are using S3-compatible object storage (including Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Ceph RADOS), follow the setup instructions "S3 Object Storage":configure-s3-object-storage.html page instead and then "Run keepstore as a supervised service.":#keepstoreservice
+{% include 'install_packages' %}
-If you are using Azure Blob Storage, follow the setup instructions "Azure Blob Storage":configure-azure-blob-storage.html and then proceed to "Run keepstore as a supervised service.":#keepstoreservice
+{% include 'start_service' %}
-To use a POSIX filesystem, including both local filesystems (ext4, xfs) and network file system such as GPFS or Lustre, continue reading this section.
+{% include 'restart_api' %}
-h4. Setting up filesystem mounts
+h2(#confirm-working). Confirm working installation
-Volumes are configured in the @Volumes@ section of the configuration
-file. You may provide multiple volumes for a single keepstore process
-to manage multiple disks. Keepstore distributes blocks among volumes
-in round-robin fashion.
+We recommend using the "Cluster diagnostics tool.":diagnostics.html
-<pre>
-Volumes:
-- # The volume type, indicates this is a filesystem directory.
- Type: Directory
+Here are some other checks you can perform manually.
- # The actual directory that will be used as the backing store.
- Root: /mnt/local-disk
+Log into a host that is on your private Arvados network. The host should be able to contact your your keepstore servers (eg keep[0-9].ClusterID.example.com).
- # How much replication is performed by the underlying filesystem.
- # (for example, a network filesystem may provide its own replication).
- # This is used to inform replication decisions at the Keep layer.
- DirectoryReplication: 1
+@ARVADOS_API_HOST@ and @ARVADOS_API_TOKEN@ must be set in the environment.
- # If true, do not accept write or trash operations, only reads.
- ReadOnly: false
+@ARVADOS_API_HOST@ should be the hostname of the API server.
- # When true, read and write operations (for whole 64MiB blocks) on
- # an individual volume will queued and issued sequentially. When
- # false, read and write operations will be issued concurrently as
- # they come in.
- #
- # When using spinning disks where storage partitions map 1:1 to
- # physical disks that are dedicated to Keepstore, enabling this may
- # reduce contention and improve throughput by minimizing seeks.
- #
- # When using SSDs, RAID, or a parallel network filesystem, you probably
- # don't want this.
- Serialize: true
+@ARVADOS_API_TOKEN@ should be the system root token.
- # Storage classes to associate with this volume. See "Configuring
- # storage classes" in the "Admin" section of doc.arvados.org.
- StorageClasses: null
+Install the "Command line SDK":{{site.baseurl}}/sdk/cli/install.html
- # Example of a second volume section
-- DirectoryReplication: 2
- ReadOnly: false
- Root: /mnt/network-disk
- Serialize: false
- StorageClasses: null
- Type: Directory
-</pre>
-
-h3(#keepstoreservice). Run keepstore as a supervised service
-
-Install runit to supervise the keepstore daemon. {% include 'install_runit' %}
-
-Install this script as the run script @/etc/sv/keepstore/run@ for the keepstore service:
+Check that the keepstore server is in the @keep_service@ "accessible" list:
<notextile>
-<pre><code>#!/bin/sh
-
-exec 2>&1
-GOGC=10 exec keepstore -config /etc/arvados/keepstore/keepstore.yml
+<pre><code>$ <span class="userinput">arv keep_service accessible</span>
+[...]
</code></pre>
</notextile>
-h3. Set up additional servers
+If keepstore does not show up in the "accessible" list, and you are accessing it from within the private network, check that you have "properly configured the @geo@ block for the API server":install-api-server.html#update-nginx .
-Repeat the above sections to prepare volumes and bring up supervised services on each Keepstore server you are setting up.
+Next, install the "Python SDK":{{site.baseurl}}/sdk/python/sdk-python.html
-h3. Tell the API server about the Keepstore servers
+You should now be able to use @arv-put@ to upload collections and @arv-get@ to fetch collections. Be sure to execute this from _inside_ the cluster's private network. You will be able to access keep from _outside_ the private network after setting up "keepproxy":install-keepproxy.html .
-The API server needs to be informed about the presence of your Keepstore servers. For each of the Keepstore servers you have created, please execute the following commands on your <strong>shell server</strong>.
+{% include 'arv_put_example' %}
-Make sure to update the @service_host@ value to match each of your Keepstore servers.
+h2(#note). Note on storage management
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">prefix=`arv --format=uuid user current | cut -d- -f1`</span>
-~$ <span class="userinput">echo "Site prefix is '$prefix'"</span>
-~$ <span class="userinput">read -rd $'\000' keepservice <<EOF; arv keep_service create --keep-service "$keepservice"</span>
-<span class="userinput">{
- "service_host":"<strong>keep0.$prefix.your.domain</strong>",
- "service_port":25107,
- "service_ssl_flag":false,
- "service_type":"disk"
-}
-EOF</span>

+On its own, a keepstore server never deletes data. Instead, the keep-balance service determines which blocks are candidates for deletion and instructs the keepstore to move those blocks to the trash. Please see the "Balancing Keep servers":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/keep-balance.html for more details.
