Hi
got a 6 node cluster , want to reduce the number of nodes.
so lets say i have server A1 and server A4 out of a1..A6
I have ceph installed on all node
I want to take the drives (OSD one) out of A1 and install them into A4 with out having to resync the entire drive. I have read its possible
I guess I want to coless the cluster , stop it from re balancing it, stop the OSD - lets call it OSD.0 .. stop any writes - pause it - then unplug it - its hot swap bay
then plug it back into server A4 and let proxmox / ceph find it and then un pause it and the stop the stop of rebalancing
is that possible and if so how do I go about doing it ?
Thanks
