Hi, Test adding user to ceph: ceph-authtool -g -n client.koa --cap mon ‘allow r’ --cap ods ‘allow rw pool=iscsi-images’ -C /etc/ceph/ceph.client.koa.keyring ceph auth add client.koa -i /etc/ceph/ceph.client.koa.keyring ==\> After doing this, I got HEALTH\_ERR 1 auth entities have invalid capabilities When the cluster status is HEALTH\_ERR, what will happen to the cluster?!? (Will it still be operating as normal?) Thank you. Theeraphong T. PS. I found that I mistype osd to ods! (I had to remove this user, and re-add it. Now the status is back to HEALTH\_OK…) ---

Hi, Could you advice on this? When the cluster status is HEALTH\_ERR, what will happen to the cluster?!? (Will it still be operating as normal?) Thanks! ---
