2022-02-21 Thread Jason Borden
Hi all, I'm looking for some advice on reducing my ceph cluster in half. I currently have 40 hosts and 160 osds on a cephadm managed pacific cluster. The storage space is only 12% utilized. I want to reduce the cluster to 20 hosts and 80 osds while keeping the cluster operational. I'd prefer

Ok, I've been digging around a bit with the code and made progress, but haven't got it all working yet. Here's what I've done: # yum install cephadm # ln -s ../sbin/cephadm /usr/bin/cephadm #Needed to reference the correct path # cephadm bootstrap --output-config /etc/ceph/ceph.conf --output-key
