Hi,
Thanks Adam
The test script worked fine
Furthermore, the bootstrap command worked fine on another host
What can it be that has not been cleaned up on ceph-host-1 that prevents
the bootstrap to work ?
After zapping the previous ( working) cluster I have :
update / upgrade the server to 24.04.2
remove/reinstall docker
delete /etc/ceph/*, /var/lib/ceph/*, /etc/systemd/system/ceph*
pkill -9 -f ceph*
reboot
Thanks
Steven
