I have a fairly run-of-the-mill cephadm managed/containerized 20.2.1 cluster.  
Not hyperconverged or anything like that.  It's currently exporting RBD to a 
Proxmox VE 8.4 cluster (QEMU virtualization), and CephFS to a couple RHEL 8.x 
servers via kernel mounts.

I need to migrate the whole thing, including the monitors, to new hardware.  My 
question is, can I rely on the QEMU processes and kernel mounts to correctly 
update their internal monitor maps as I add new monitors and remove old 
monitors, or will I suddenly reach a point where the consumers can't find the 
monitors they started up with and lose their minds?  (I know I'll also need to 
update the static configs.)

I'm pretty sure it should Just Work so long as I don't do something dumb and 
lose quorum, but there's a big difference between "should" and "actually does", 
and I haven't been able to find any writeups of people actually doing it, so 
I'm asking here.  Is this likely to work?  Is this known to not work for some 
reason (e.g., the kernel mounts or QEMU processes never actually update their 
mon maps after startup)?

TIA!
