Hi Vasu,

Thank you for your input! I was very hesitant in changing those on a live 
system.
As I understand I don’t need to wait for a cluster to re-balance between PG and 
PGP commands, right?

Regards,

Andrey Ptashnik

Subject: Re: [ceph-users] Adjust PG PGP placement groups on the fly

from the docs (also important to read what pgp_num does): 
http://docs.ceph.com/docs/jewel/rados/operations/placement-groups/

To set the number of placement groups in a pool, you must specify the number of 
placement groups at the time you create the pool. See Create a Pool for 
details. Once you’ve set placement groups for a pool, you may increase the 
number of placement groups (but you cannot decrease the number of placement 
groups). To increase the number of placement groups, execute the following:

ceph osd pool set {pool-name} pg_num {pg_num}


Once you increase the number of placement groups, you must also increase the 
number of placement groups for placement (pgp_num) before your cluster will 
rebalance. The pgp_num will be the number of placement groups that will be 
considered for placement by the CRUSH algorithm. Increasing pg_num splits the 
placement groups but data will not be migrated to the newer placement groups 
until placement groups for placement, ie. pgp_num is increased. The pgp_num 
should be equal to the pg_num. To increase the number of placement groups for 
placement, execute the following

ceph osd pool set {pool-name} pgp_num {pgp_num}

Hello Ceph team,

Is it possible to increase number of placement groups on a live system without 
any issues and data loss? If so what is the correct sequence of steps?
