Hello, I am currently managing a Ceph cluster that consists of 3 racks, each with 4 OSD nodes. Each node contains 24 OSDs. I plan to add three new nodes, one to each rack, to help alleviate the high OSD utilization. The current highest OSD utilization is 85%. I am concerned about the possibility of any OSD reaching the osd_full_ratio threshold during the rebalancing process. This would cause the cluster to enter a read-only state, which I want to avoid at all costs. I am planning to execute the following commands: ceph orch host add new-node-1 ceph orch host add new-node-2 ceph orch host add new-node-3 ceph osd crush move new-node-1 rack=rack-1 ceph osd crush move new-node-2 rack=rack-2 ceph osd crush move new-node-3 rack=rack-3 ceph config set osd osd_max_backfills 1 ceph config set osd osd_recovery_max_active 1 ceph config set osd osd_recovery_sleep 0.1 ceph orch apply osd --all-available-devices Before proceeding, I would like to ask if the above steps are safe to execute in a cluster with such high utilization. My main concern is whether the rebalancing could cause any OSD to exceed the osd_full_ratio and result in unexpected failures. Any insights or advice on how to safely add these nodes without impacting cluster stability would be greatly appreciated.
