Thanks for your answer MON-MGR hosts have a mgmt network and a public network. OSD nodes have instead a mgmt network, a public network. and a cluster network This is what I have in ceph.conf: public network = 192.168.61.0/24 cluster network = 192.168.222.0/24 public and cluster networks are 10 Gbps networks (actually there is a single 10 Gbps NIC on each node used for both the public and the cluster networks). The mgmt network is a 1 Gbps network, but this one shouldn't be used for such pings among the OSDs ...
