"mon initial members" is a race prevention mechanism whose purpose is to prevent your monitors from forming separate quorums when they're brought up by automated software provisioning systems (by not allowing monitors to form a quorum unless everybody in the list is a member). If you want to add other monitors at a later time you can do so by specifying them elsewhere (including in mon hosts or whatever, so other daemons will attempt to contact them.) -Greg Software Engineer #42 @ http://inktank.com | http://ceph.com On Thu, Dec 19, 2013 at 9:13 PM, Don Talton (dotalton) <dotalton@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I just realized my email is not clear.
