Not quite. The clients will use the "mon initial members" value to populate their search set, but other config options can fill it as well ("mon host", for instance). Various setup tools will populate different ones. The key to "mon initial members" is that it's used for the initial cluster assembly. When a monitor turns on for the first time (without any quorum state), it tries to connect to any other monitors it can find, and then creates a cluster if nobody else it can find is aware of one either. But it won't create a cluster if it doesn't get everybody in mon_initial_members to participate; instead it waits to talk to them. This isn't a big deal if you're deploying stuff manually, but is important for some cluster management systems that automatically populate the cluster information like our original Chef cookbooks. -Greg > > > > Once they connect to one of the initial mons they will get a full list of > all monitors and be able to connect to any of them to pull updated maps. > > > > > > From: ceph-users [mailto:ceph-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > zainal@xxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Thursday, 31 March 2016 3:21 PM > To: ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Ceph.conf > > > > Hi, > > > > What does mean by mon initial members in ceph.conf?
