9.3. Rebooting Ceph Storage Nodes


To reboot the Ceph Storage nodes, follow this process:
  1. Select the first Ceph Storage node to reboot and log into it.
  2. Disable Ceph Storage cluster rebalancing temporarily:
    $ sudo ceph osd set noout
    $ sudo ceph osd set norebalance
    Copy to Clipboard
  3. Reboot the node:
    $ sudo reboot
    Copy to Clipboard
  4. Wait until the node boots.
  5. Log into the node and check the cluster status:
    $ sudo ceph -s
    Copy to Clipboard

    Check that the pgmap reports all pgs as normal (active+clean).
  6. Log out of the node, reboot the next node, and check its status. Repeat this process until you have rebooted all Ceph storage nodes.
  7. When complete, enable cluster rebalancing again:
    $ sudo ceph osd unset noout
    $ sudo ceph osd unset norebalance
    Copy to Clipboard
  8. Perform a final status check to make sure the cluster reports HEALTH_OK:
    $ sudo ceph status
    Copy to Clipboard
