I did not mean to have a back network configured but it is taken down. Of course this won't work. What I mean is that you: 1. remove the cluster network definition from the cluster config (ceph.conf and/or ceph config ...) 2. restart OSDs to apply the change 3. remove the physical network Step 2 will most likely require down time as you write, because during the transition some OSDs will think all OSDs listen on 2 while other OSDs think everyone is listening on 1 network. If you can afford to take all clients down and do a full cluster restart, this is doable. If you set noout,nodown,pause and maybe some other flags (norebalance,nobackfill,norecover), wait for all client *and* recovery I/O to complete, it is probably possible to do this transition without disconnecting clients by just restarting all OSDs failure domain by failure domain. After the transition things should work fine with just 1 network. In any case, my recommendation would be to keep both networks if they are on different VLAN IDs. Then, nothing special is required to do the transition and this is what I did to simplify the physical networking (two logical networks, identical physical networking).

Flap flap flap. +1. This has also been my experience. And it's quit hard to debug as well (confusing / seemingly contradictory messages). It uses the back network to replicate data ... and as long as it can't (client) IO wont go through. Gr.
