My nodes have two ethernet interfaces (eth0 and eth1) and both are configured to use static DHCP leases. My cluster is configured to use address on eth0 (192.168.139.0/24). The upstart job /etc/init/ceph-all.conf contains the following line: start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo) It appears that eth1 emits a net-device-up before eth0 causing the ceph-all upstart job to begin running before the desired network is available, leading to the address binding error seen in the log. I changed the upstart job line to: start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=eth0) and the cluster cold starts successfully.
