Hey Adam, thanks for your fast reply. That's a bit more invasive and risky than I was hoping for. But if this is the only way, I guess we need to do this. Would it be advisable to put some maintenance flags like noout, nobackfill, norebalance? And maybe stop the ceph target on the host I'm re-adding to pause all daemons? Best, Mathias On 5/19/2022 8:14 PM, Adam King wrote: cephadm just takes the hostname given in the "ceph orch host add" commands and assumes it won't change. The FQDN names (or whatever "ceph orch host ls" shows in any scenario) are from whatever input was given in those commands. Cephadm will even try to verify the hostname matches what is given when adding the host. As for where it is stored, we keep that info in the mon key store and it isn't meant to be manually updated (ceph config-key get mgr/cephadm/inventory). Although, there have occasionally been people running into issues related to a mismatch between an FQDN and a shortname. There's no built-in command for changing a hostname because of the expectation that it won't change. However, you should be able to fix this by removing and re-adding the host. E.g. "ceph orch host rm osd-mirror-1.our.domain.org<http://osd-mirror-1.our.domain.org/>" followed by "ceph orch host add osd-mirror-1 172.16.62.22 --labels rgw --labels osd". If you're on a late enough version that it requests you drain the host before we'll remove it (it was some pacific dot release, don't remember which one) you can pass --force to the host rm command. Generally it's not a good idea to remove hosts from cephadm's control while there are still cephadm deployed daemons on it like that but this is a special case. Anyway, removing and re-adding the host is the only (reasonable) way to change what it has stored for the hostname that I can remember. Let me know if that doesn't work, - Adam King On Thu, May 19, 2022 at 1:41 PM Kuhring, Mathias <mathias.kuhring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:mathias.kuhring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>> wrote: Dear ceph users, one of our cluster is complaining about plenty of stray hosts and daemons.

How can I now change the host names which were assigend when adding the hosts with `ceph orch host add HOSTNAME`? I can't seem to find any documentation on changing the host names which are listed by `ceph orch host ls`. All I can find is related to changing the actual name of the host in the system. The crush map also just contains the bare host names. So, where are these FQDN names actually registered? Thank you for help.
