[ceph-users] Re: Stuck OSD service specification - can't remove

I ended up in the same situation while playing around with a test cluster. The SUSE team has an article [1] for this case, the following helped me resolve this issue. I had three different osd specs in place for the same three nodes: osd 3 <deleting> 3w nautilus2;nautilus3 osd.osd-hdd-ssd 3 2m ago 2w nautilus;nautilus2;nautilus3 osd.osd-hdd-ssd-mix 3 2m ago - <unmanaged> I replaced the "service_name" with the more suiting value ("osd.osd-hdd-ssd") in the unit.meta file of each OSD containing the invalid spec, then restarted each affected OSD. It probably wouldn't have been necessary but I wanted to see the effect immediately, so I failed over the mgr (ceph mgr fail), now I only have one valid osd spec. # before nautilus3:~ # grep service_name /var/lib/ceph/201a2fbc-ce7b-44a3-9ed7-39427972083b/osd.3/unit.meta "service_name": "osd", # after nautilus3:~ # grep service_name /var/lib/ceph/201a2fbc-ce7b-44a3-9ed7-39427972083b/osd.3/unit.meta "service_name": "osd.osd-hdd-ssd", nautilus3:~ # ceph orch ls osd NAME PORTS RUNNING REFRESHED AGE PLACEMENT osd.osd-hdd-ssd 9 10m ago 2w nautilus;nautilus2;nautilus3 Regards, Eugen [1] https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=000020667
