This is meant to be a permanent change. Per: https://docs.ceph.com/docs/mimic/radosgw/multisite/ <https://docs.ceph.com/docs/mimic/radosgw/multisite/> I need to: 1. Stop RGW daemons on the current master end. On a secondary RGW node: 2. radosgw-admin zone modify --rgw-zone={zone-name} --master --default 3. radosgw-admin period update --commit 4. systemctl restart ceph-radosgw(a)rgw.`hostname -s` Since I want the former master to be secondary permanently do I need to do anything after restarting the RGW daemons on the old master end?
