==================================
Recovering from Monitor Failures
==================================
In production clusters, we recommend running the cluster with a minimum
of three monitors. The failure of a single monitor should not take down
the entire monitor cluster, provided a majority of the monitors remain
available. If the majority of nodes are available, the remaining nodes
will be able to form a quorum.
When you check your cluster's health, you may notice that a monitor
has failed. For example::
ceph health
HEALTH_WARN 1 mons down, quorum 0,2
For additional detail, you may check the cluster status::
ceph status
HEALTH_WARN 1 mons down, quorum 0,2
mon.b (rank 1) addr 192.168.106.220:6790/0 is down (out of quorum)
In most cases, you can simply restart the affected node.
For example::
service ceph -a restart {failed-mon}
If there are not enough monitors to form a quorum, the ``ceph``
command will block trying to reach the cluster. In this situation,
you need to get enough ``ceph-mon`` daemons running to form a quorum
before doing anything else with the cluster.
