Marc; If I understand that command correctly, it's tells MDS 'c' to disappear, the same as rebooting would, right? Let me just clarify something then... When I run ceph fs dump I get the following: 110248: [v2:10.2.80.10:6800/1470324937,v1:10.2.80.10:6801/1470324937] 'S700041' mds.0.29 up:active seq 997315 120758: [v2:10.2.80.11:6800/2691008522,v1:10.2.80.11:6801/2691008522] 'S700042' mds.0.0 up:standby-replay seq 2 Doesn't that indicate that the standby-replay server is out of date, and would need to pause the FS to replay? Is there something wrong in my setup, or is the above expected? Thank you, Dominic L. Hilsbos, MBA Director - Information Technology Perform Air International Inc.

Is there a command / set of commands that transitions a standby-replay MDS server to the active role, while swapping the active MDS to standby-replay, or even just standby? I'm looking for a way to seamlessly, and without down time, prepare the active MDS to go offline (reboot) as part of planned /periodic maintenance. Thank you, Dominic L.
