Hello,
I have three node proxmox cluster:

optiplex 7020
xeon e3-1265lv3
16GB
120GB SSD for OS
512GB nvme for ceph
1GbE network for "external" access
dual 10GbE network (for cluster)

Network is connected as stated here:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Full_Mesh_Network_for_Ceph_Server
as routed setup
each node can "talk" to other two nodes,

network config:

[client]
         keyring = /etc/pve/priv/$cluster.$name.keyring

[mon.pve1]
         public_addr = 192.168.20.10
any command like:
Code:
root@pve1:~# pveceph status
command 'ceph -s' failed: got timeout
anyone can help me with this?
Thanks in advance.
 
Was dead:
Code:

     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ceph-mon@.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)

     Active: inactive (dead)
I started it and it's now like this:

I also found this

It looks like something or somebody wiped the monitor database. That means that the Ceph cluster ceased to exist. You will have to start from scratch.
Unfortunately the cluster only had one MON so there was no redundancy. Start your next cluster with at least three MONs and always an odd number of MONs.
