Hi Simon,

You can just dist-upgrade the underlying OS. Assuming that you installed the packages from https://download.ceph.com/debian-octopus/, just change bionic to focal in all apt-sources, and dist-upgrade away.

Subject [ceph-users] how to upgrade host os under ceph

Dear list,

I'm looking for some guide or pointers to how people upgrade the underlying 
host OS in a ceph cluster (if this is the right way to proceed, I don't even 
know...)

Our cluster is nearing the 4.5 years of age and now our ubuntu 18.04 is nearing 
the end of support date. We have a mixed cluster of u18 and u20 nodes, all 
running octopus at the moment.

We would like to upgrade the OS on the nodes, without changing the ceph version 
for now (or per se).

Is it as easy as installing a new OS version, installing the ceph-osd package 
and a correct ceph.conf file and restoring the host key?

Or is more needed regarding the specifics of the OSD disks/WAL/journal?

Or is it necessary to drain a node of all data and re-add the OSDs as new 
units? (This would be too much work, so I doubt it ;-)

The problem with searching for information about this, is that it seems 
undocumented in the ceph documentation, and search results are flooded with 
ceph version upgrades.

Cheers

/Simon
