If you can afford to take all clients down and do a full cluster restart, this is doable. If you set noout,nodown,pause and maybe some other flags (norebalance,nobackfill,norecover), wait for all client *and* recovery I/O to complete, it is probably possible to do this transition without disconnecting clients by just restarting all OSDs failure domain by failure domain. Perhaps temporarily setting mon_osd_min_down_reporters to a large number would help avoid flapping. I fear at least some [RBD] clients would still experience timeouts / kernel panics though. > > After the transition things should work fine with just 1 network. > > In any case, my recommendation would be to keep both networks if they are on different VLAN IDs. Then, nothing special is required to do the transition and this is what I did to simplify the physical networking (two logical networks, identical physical networking). > > Best regards, > ================= > Frank Schilder > AIT Risø Campus > Bygning 109, rum S14 > > ________________________________________ > From: Stefan Kooman <stefan@xxxxxx> > Sent: 13 May 2020 07:40 > To: ceph-users@xxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Cluster network and public network > > On 2020-05-12 18:59, Anthony D'Atri wrote: >> >>> I think, however, that a disappearing back network has no real consequences as the heartbeats always go over both. >> >> FWIW this has not been my experience, at least through Luminous. >> >> What I’ve seen is that when the cluster/replication net is configured but unavailable, OSD heartbeats fail and peers report them to the mons as down.
