pveceph createosd Errors with 'Ceph.conf Already Exists'

[Jer]

I have two nodes. One has 4 osds and the other has 3. I have just added a new hard drive to the one with 3 and am trying to create an osd. There is no osd using ID of 0 so I am creating the new osd with that ID.

When I try to create an osd either via the web interface or via command line (pveceph createosd 0), I get the following error:

file '/etc/ceph/ceph.conf' already exists (500)

Since I already have 7 other osds, it seems kind of obvious that the conf file would already exist and should be expected. How do I resolve this and add my new hard drive as an osd?

Thanks

Hi

I have two nodes. One has 4 osds and the other has 3.

Ceph needs minimum 3 nodes.
With two node setups it is a question of time when you will lose your data.

While I appreciate the feedback, it did nothing to address my issue. I have since resolved it. Thanks.
