Hello
I've a ceph cluster which I had tried to change the ceph network and failed.

besides running 'pveceph purge' what else needs to be done from cli to remove all traces of former osd and mons?

starting over was not hard.

I started out with the network and configuration options the way we wanted from the start.

And got more certainty on how to install and configure ceph.
 
so the cause of my ceph issue was this error:

when preparing the 8-th node i mistakenly set up ceph before adding node to cluster.

that caused ceph issues . slow and crashing vm's.

solution is to reinstall the node and add to cluster before installing ceph software and running 'pveceph init '

AND there were a couple of loose infiniband cards / connections. the cards had been converted from 4U size to 2U then back to 4U . some of the clips got damaged in the conversion. I've replacements on order.
