Summary:

On Friday October 30th between 00:00 hrs and 07:00 hrs engineers from BIT will perform maintenance on the Ceph storage cluster. Ceph messenger version 2 protocol will be activated on the cluster (besides version 1).

Details:

Ceph messenger version 2 protocol will be activated on the cluster (besides version 1). This protocol comes with a couple of enhancements. Applications that are able to use this new protocol will do so by default (port 3300). We do not expect noticeable impact on the functioning of the cluster during this maintenance. However, every upgrade comes with (extra) risks, therefore the configuration change will take place during a maintenance window.
