I like to avoid adding disks from more than 1 failure domain at a time in case some of the new disks are bad. In your example of only adding 1 new node, I would say that adding all of the disks at the same time is the better way to do it.
Adding only 1 disk in the new node at a time would actually be worse for the balance of the cluster as it would only have 1 disk while the rest have all 5 or more.
The EC profile shouldn't play into account as you already have enough hosts to fulfill it.

_______________________________________________Hi,We have a live cluster with 8 OSD nodes all having 5-6 disks each.We would like to add a new host and expand the cluster.We have 4 pools- 3 replicated pools with replication factor 5 and 3- 1 erasure coded pool with k=5, m=3So my concern is, is there any precautions that are needed to add the new host since the ec profile is 5+3.And can we add multiple disks at the same time in the new host ? Or should it be 1 at a time ?Karun
