Hey Wido, Thanks for your suggestion. It sounds like the process might be feasible but I'd be looking for an "official" thing to do to a production cluster. Something that's documented ceph.com/docs, tested and "endorsed" if you will by the Ceph team. We could try this on a pre-prod environment but it sounds rather "hacky", as in, there's a number of manual steps involved, including a couple where you're basically manipulating internal, persistent state information.
I think most people would not be too inclined to do this to their production set ups.

The main problem is the monmap which contains IPv4 addresses and you want to change that to IPv6. I haven't tried this, but I think you should be able to: - Extract MONMap - Update the IPv4 addresses to IPv6 using monmaptool - Set noout flag - Stop all OSDs - Inject new monmap - Stop MONs - Make sure IPv6 is fixed on MONs - Start MONs - Start OSDs Again, this is from the top of my head, haven't tried it, but something like that should probably work.
