I followed the tutorial to move Ceph from Hammer to Jewel here:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Ceph_Hammer_to_Jewel

All the steps went ok aside from starting the monitor daemon;
Code:
root@smiles2:~# systemctl start ceph-mon@ceph-mon.1.1500178214.095217502.service
root@smiles2:~# systemctl status ceph-mon@ceph-mon.1.1500178214.095217502.service

I was able to start it from the Web GUI and continue, and eventually complete the upgrade (including the ceph osd crush tunables step). But when a node is rebooted, the monitor must be started from the GUI manually each time. This affects all 3 nodes that I upgraded.

Any ideas?
 
Hi,

please do what the tutorial tell's you.
You start mon by the old naming schema.

From the upgrade doku
Code:
systemctl start ceph-mon@<MON-ID>.service
systemctl enable ceph-mon@<MON-ID>.service


"ceph-mon.1.1500178214.095217502" is not the mon id
"1" is the mon id.
 
Ah ok, I had misunderstood the docs (tab complete to get <UNIQUE ID>, not <MON-ID>). Works perfectly with

Code:
root@smiles1:~# systemctl start ceph-mon@0.service
root@smiles1:~# systemctl status ceph-mon@0.service
