It can work, but it might be necessary to modify the monmap first, since it's complaining that it has been removed from it. Are you familiar with the monmap-tool (https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/man/8/monmaptool/)?

The procedure is similar to changing a monitor's IP address the "messy way" (https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/rados/operations/add-or-rm-mons/#changing-a-monitor-s-ip-address-advanced-method).

I also wrote a blog post how to do it with cephadm:
https://heiterbiswolkig.blogs.nde.ag/2020/12/18/cephadm-changing-a-monitors-ip-address/

But before changing anything, I'd inspect first what the current status is. You can get the current monmap from within the mon container (is it still there?):

cephadm shell --name mon.<mon>
ceph-monstore-tool /var/lib/ceph/mon/<your_mon> get monmap -- --out monmap
monmaptool --print monmap

You can paste the output here, if you want.

Zitat von Jonas Schwab <jonas.sch...@uni-wuerzburg.de>:

I realized, I have access to a data directory of a monitor I removed
just before the oopsie happened. Can I launch a ceph-mon from that? If I
try just to launch ceph-mon, it commits suicide:

2025-04-10T19:32:32.174+0200 7fec628c5e00 -1 mon.mon.ceph2-01@-1(???)
e29 not in monmap and have been in a quorum before; must have been removed
2025-04-10T19:32:32.174+0200 7fec628c5e00 -1 mon.mon.ceph2-01@-1(???)
e29 commit suicide!
2025-04-10T19:32:32.174+0200 7fec628c5e00 -1 failed to initialize

Hello everyone,

I believe I accidentally nuked all monitor of my cluster (please don't
ask how). Is there a way to recover from this desaster? I have a cephadm
setup.

I am very grateful for all help!

Best regards,
Jonas Schwab
