Congrats landing a fun new job! That’s quite the mess you have to untangle there. I’d suggest, since all of those versions will support orchestrator/cephadm, running through the cephadm conversion process here: https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/cephadm/adoption/ That should get you to the point that you can use ceph orch commands to get your versions aligned. As for why the balancer isn’t working, first is 89 the correct number of OSDs after you added the 4th host? I’d wonder if your new host is in the correct root of the crush map. Check `ceph osd tree` to ensure that all storage hosts are equal and subordinate to the same root (probably default). At 62% raw utilization you should be OK to rebalance, but things get more challenging above 70% full, and downright painful above 80%. You should also check your pool pg_nums with `ceph osd pool autoscale-status`. If the autoscaler isn’t enabled, some pg_num adjustments might bump loose the balancer. It’s concerning that you have 4 pools warning nearful, but 7 pools in the cluster. This may imply that the pools are not distributed equally among your osds and buckets in your crush map. Check `ceph osd pool ls detail` and see what crush_rule is assigned to each pool. If they’re not all the same, you’re going to need to do some digging into your crush map to figure out why and if it’s for a good reason, or poor design or implementation.

Hello Ceph community. The company that recently hired me has a 3 mode ceph cluster that has been running and stable. I am the new lone administrator here and do not know ceph and this is my first experience with it. The issue was that it is/was running out of space, which is why I made a 4th node and attempted to add it into the cluster. Along the way, things have begun to break. The manager daemon on boreal-01 failed to boreal-02 along the way and I tried to get it to fail back to boreal-01, but was unable, and realized while working on it yesterday I realized that the nodes in the cluster are all running different versions of the software. I suspect that might be a huge part of why things aren’t working as expected.

One thing I did was attempt to upgrade the code on that machine, and I could have triggered a cluster-wide upgrade that failed outside of 1 and 4. With 2 and 3 not even running the same major release, if I did make that mistake, I can see why instead of an upgrade, things would be worse. According to the documentation, I should be able to upgrade the entire cluster by running a single command on the admin node, but when I go to run commands I get errors that even google can’t solve: root@boreal-01:/# ceph orch host ls Error ENOENT: Module not found root@boreal-01:/# Consequently, I have very little faith that running commands to upgrade everything so that it’s all running the same code will work. I think each host could be upgraded and fix things, but do not feel confident doing so and risking our data. Hopefully that gives a better idea of the problems I am facing. I am hoping for some professional services hours with someone who is a true expert with this software, to get us to a stable and sane deployment that can be managed without it being a terrifying guessing game, trying to get it to work. If that is you, or if you know someone who can help — please contact me! Thank you!
