HI Robert, Just checked your email on ceph users list. I will try to look deep into the question. For now i have a qery related to the uphrade itself. Is it possible for you to send any link /documents that you are following to upgrade ceph. I am trying to upgrade ceph cluster using ceph ansible on centos 7 from nautilus to octopus but have many el7 related upgrade issue. And similarly i am trying to do it in centos8 but no luck. I have tried posting my query to community (refer mail.in the trail) but it is yet to be posted after moderators approval. Any support would be appreciated thank you once again for your help. -Lokendra On Tue, 23 Mar 2021, 10:17 Lokendra Rathour, <lokendrarathour@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Team, I am trying to upgrade my existing Ceph Cluster (using Ceph-ansible) from current release Octopus to pacific for which I am using a rolling upgrade. Facing various issues in getting it done, please note as below and suggest:

issue 1: when updating the all.yml file with ceph release number to 16 and and ceph release as Pacific:

*TASK [ceph-validate : validate ceph_repository_community] **************************************************************************

*task path: /home/ansible/ceph-ansible/roles/ceph-validate/tasks/main.yml:20Tuesday 23 March 2021 10:00:09 +0530 (0:00:00.141) 0:01:06.028 *********fatal: [cephnode1]: FAILED! => changed=false msg: ceph_stable_release must be either 'nautilus' or 'octopus'fatal: [cephnode2]: FAILED! => changed=false msg: ceph_stable_release must be either 'nautilus' or 'octopus'fatal: [cephnode3]: FAILED! => changed=false msg: ceph_stable_release must be either 'nautilus' or 'octopus'*

*Issue 2: by keeping the ceph_stable_release to octopus and changing the ceph release number to 16 it gives error as :*
