CEPH storage shown with grey question mark

[VictorSTS]

Hello,

I'm currently migrating a Proxmox Cluster with v4 to Proxmox v6.4 with Ceph. For the migration I moved all VM to one node and formatted and reconfigured the other two servers, so its as if it was a new install.

I've setup the cluster ok, then installed Ceph, and created a couple of Ceph MON and Managers. Then added 8 OSD and created a 2 replica pool, and the box to "add to storage" was ticked.

The storage is shown in the left pane but with a grey question mark on both nodes. Moving the mouse over it just shows "status unknown". I can access the storage, create VM's there, add disks in that storage, etc. It seems to be working properly.

Why am I getting that grey question mark? How can I diagnose what may be going on?

Thanks a lot!

Try if a restart of the pvestatd service helps.

systemctl restart pvestatd.service

Ok, restarting pvestatd.service has removed the question mark.

I've checked the logs for the service and I'm getting a bunch of timeouts:

Might be related to this issue or maybe theres something else wrong? Keep in mind that there are some NFS storage added to help with the migration process which aren't performing as fast as expected.
