wait!
lets say in my setup (which might be silly giving the MON / OSD ratio but
still)with 7 MONs I have to have at least 5 MONS running?4 would be more than
the half but insufficient to reach a quorum.But, would the cluster come up at
all if I could get only 3 out of the 7 initial MONs up and running?

Well, as I said, I had 3 MONs running, just the sequence in which they came up
after the reboot was odd,first the first MON/OSD combination came to life, than
a second MON, than the second MON/OSD combination

And do I need to make sure that a quorum capable number of MONs is up BEFORE I
restart the OSDs?
than the sequence would be:
- free cluster of load/usage
- stop MDS / any given order
- stop OSD / any given order
- stop MON / one after the other
- start MON / in reverse order, last shutdown is first boot
- start OSD
- start MDS
- allow load to the cluster again
central question remains, do I need 5 out of 7 MONs running or would 3 out of 7
be sufficient?
