Ceph is clustered, replicated, distributed storage so the concepts of
primary/secondary are bit different. Each osd will have its own local
storage. Ceph will take care of replication between osds based on how you
configure it. If an osd fails, clients will look for one of the replicas.
Ceph will also take care of re-replicating the data around the cluster as
needed.

The mon will detect the error and update the crush map as needed so that
clients can figure out where their data is.

You can read about the crush map at
