The strategy that Nghia described is inefficient for moving data more than once, but safe since there are always N copies, vs a strategy of setting noout, destroying the OSDs, and recreating them on the new server. That would be more efficient, albeit with a period of reduced redundancy. I’ve done what Eugen describes, slightly differently: - Create a staging root - Create a host bucket there with the new nodename - Create new OSDs, CRUSH weight them to 0 - Move into the production root - Weight up using your method of choice Another option would be, if the hardware is compatible, to set noout, take down one node, destroy the OSDs, swap in the new drives/node, provision the OSDs with the same IDs, and wait for balancing. But you have a period of reduced redundancy, and the wrong drive failing can cause grief. I think, though, that this sort of scenario may be what swap-bucket was designed for. https://docs.ceph.com/docs/mimic/rados/operations/bluestore-migration/ > On Apr 1, 2020, at 5:43 AM, Eugen Block <eblock@xxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi, > > I have a different approach in mind for a replacement, we successfully accomplished that last year in our production environment where we replaced all nodes of the cluster with newer hardware.

This can't trigger rebalancing because there was no host available in the default root anymore, but the data was still available to the clients as if nothing had changed. > Then we added the new nodes to the default root with initial osd crush weight = 0. After all new nodes and OSDs were there we increased the weight to start data movement.

Create a (temporary) new root or bucket within your crush tree and move the old host to that bucket. Then add your new server to the correct root with initial osd crush weight = 0. When all OSDs are there, increase the weight for all OSDs at once to start the data movement. > > This was all in a Luminous cluster. > > Regards, > Eugen > > > Zitat von Nghia Viet Tran <Nghia.Viet.Tran@xxxxxxxxxx>: > >> Hi everyone, >> >> I'm working on replacing OSDs node with the newer one.
