Adding a New Node to a 3+ Node HA Ceph System

[ImpactStrafe]

I can't seem to find a guide anywhere for the process of adding a new node into a ceph system in proxmox once an HA system is already active. I've found guides for setting them up, but once a system is in place what are the steps?

I tried:
updating proxmox to the same version as the other nodes,
install ceph,
cluster using pvecm add x.x.x.x as a normal cluster.

This results in the cluster being able to see the new node as "added" but won't see it as online, or let me do anything related to ceph (create mon, osds, etc.)

Is there another way I am supposed to be going about this?

Afaik your steps should be this:

Install the new node
Upgrade the same version as running cluster.
Join the new node to the Cluster (might need rebooting afterwards)
Once you have a fully synched /etc/pve folder on your new node you install Ceph via pveceph, then reboot it (no need to pveceph init). Once it comes up, it should have joined the ceph-cluster and be visible via gui. You can then add a mon on it and activate your osd's.

Thanks QWulf. I will try that out later today and see if it works.
