The easiest way I have found to add monitors is to add them to the initial monitors list which will create them all at the same time. After running "ceph-deploy new {primary-node-name}" You will need to edit the ceph.conf file to add the other additional monitors. Edit the lines “mon_initial_members” and “mon_host” to contain all of the nodes hostnames/IPs that will be hosting monitor nodes ex: mon_initial_members = icephnode01, icephnode04 ex: mon_host = node01.IP, node04.IP Then after installing ceph on each of the nodes with ceph-deploy you need only run "ceph-deploy mon create-initial" This will deploy the monitor daemon to all hosts in the mon_initial_members group and they will then be able to communicate with each other. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
