Hi Bryan, I asked the same question a few months ago: http://lists.ceph.com/pipermail/ceph-users-ceph.com/2013-February/000221.html But basically, that is pretty bad; you'll be stuck on your own and would need to get in contact with Inktank - they might be able to help rebuild a monitor for you.

If the data is lost because of hardware failure, etc, can it be recreated from scratch? The same could be said for the suggested 3-node monitor setup - you'd probably have to have a user error for that kind of destruction, but could happen. > > I've been searching for anything that explains how to recreate this. I found the docs that talk about how to recreate a single monitor from scratch if one out of many are misbehaving (treat it like adding a new instance). > > Losing this data is REALLY bad, I understand that. I'm hoping that by dumping out some critical set of data while it is working would provide enough data to recreate things from scratch. > > Is this a possibility?
