Dear cephers, I have a problem with MGR daemons, ceph version mimic-13.2.8. I'm trying to do maintenance on our MON/MGR servers and am through with 2 out of 3. I have MON and MGR collocated on a host, 3 hosts in total. So far, procedure was to stop the deamons on the server and do the maintenance. Now I'd stuck at the last server, because MGR fail-over does not work. The remaining MGR instances go into a restart loop. In an attempt to mitigate this, I stopped all but 1 MGR on a node that is done with maintenance. Everything fine. However, as soon as I stop the last MON I need to do maintenance on, the last remaining MGR goes into a restart loop all by itself. As far as I can see, the MGR does actually not restart, it just gets thrown out of the cluster. Here is a ceph status before stopping mon.ceph-01: [root@ceph-01 ~]# ceph status cluster: id: xxx health: HEALTH_WARN 1 pools nearfull services: mon: 3 daemons, quorum ceph-01,ceph-02,ceph-03 mgr: ceph-03(active) mds: con-fs2-1/1/1 up {0=ceph-08=up:active}, 1 up:standby-replay osd: 302 osds: 281 up, 281 in data: pools: 11 pools, 3215 pgs objects: 334.1 M objects, 689 TiB usage: 877 TiB used, 1.1 PiB / 1.9 PiB avail pgs: 3208 active+clean 7 active+clean+scrubbing+deep As soon as I stop mon.ceph-01, all hell breaks loose. Note that mgr.ceph-03 is collocated with mon.ceph-03 and we have quorum between mon.ceph-02 and mon.ceph-03. Here ceph status snapshots after shutting down mon.ceph-01: [root@ceph-01 ~]# ceph status cluster: id: xxx health: HEALTH_WARN 1 pools nearfull 1/3 mons down, quorum ceph-02,ceph-03 services: mon: 3 daemons, quorum ceph-02,ceph-03, out of quorum: ceph-01 mgr: ceph-03(active) mds: con-fs2-1/1/1 up {0=ceph-08=up:active}, 1 up:standby-replay osd: 302 osds: 281 up, 281 in data: pools: 11 pools, 3215 pgs objects: 334.1 M objects, 689 TiB usage: 877 TiB used, 1.1 PiB / 1.9 PiB avail pgs: 3207 active+clean 8 active+clean+scrubbing+deep [root@ceph-01 ~]# ceph status cluster: id: xxx health: HEALTH_WARN no active mgr 1 pools nearfull 1/3 mons down, quorum ceph-02,ceph-03 services: mon: 3 daemons, quorum ceph-02,ceph-03, out of quorum: ceph-01 mgr: no daemons active mds: con-fs2-1/1/1 up {0=ceph-08=up:active}, 1 up:standby-replay osd: 302 osds: 281 up, 281 in data: pools: 11 pools, 3215 pgs objects: 334.1 M objects, 689 TiB usage: 877 TiB used, 1.1 PiB / 1.9 PiB avail pgs: 3207 active+clean 8 active+clean+scrubbing+deep [root@ceph-01 ~]# ceph status cluster: id: xxx health: HEALTH_WARN 1 pools nearfull 1/3 mons down, quorum ceph-02,ceph-03 services: mon: 3 daemons, quorum ceph-02,ceph-03, out of quorum: ceph-01 mgr: ceph-03(active, starting) mds: con-fs2-1/1/1 up {0=ceph-08=up:active}, 1 up:standby-replay osd: 302 osds: 281 up, 281 in data: pools: 11 pools, 3215 pgs objects: 334.1 M objects, 689 TiB usage: 877 TiB used, 1.1 PiB / 1.9 PiB avail pgs: 3207 active+clean 8 active+clean+scrubbing+deep It is cycling through these 3 states and I couldn't find a reason why. The node ceph-01 is not special in any way. Any hint would be greatly appreciated.
