Hi In a Pacific/container/cephadm setup, when a server boot/os drive fails (unrelated to any osd actual storage): Can the boot/OS drive be replaced with a 'fresh install OS install' then simply setting up the same networking addressing/ssh keys (assuming the necessary docker/non-ceph pkgs are installed)? Up to now I've been backing up and restoring 'boot/os drives', but that seems like it ought not be necessary any longer. I have some hopes setting up a 'basic OS with the correct ssh keys, and networking address' should make it possible to, sort of 'stand well back and watch' while cephadm installs the necessary containers to restore the osds and whatever else. It would be nice to have a stack of 'ready to go boot/os drives' where all that's needed is a network, hostname and 'authorized keys' tweak. Or is it 'better' to continue going to the trouble of backing-up/restoring server boot drives? ???
