Moving nodes to new data center

Hi what is the process of moving my petasan/ceph cluster to a different data center can I just shut all nodes down and power back up in the new data center? or are there things to consider before moving the cluster?

 

Thanks!!

Yes you can shut down the cluster no problem. It would be better to not have any client writes during the shutdown, also maybe better to shut down  the nodes all at once rather than several minutes apart, again not a must but better.

Thanks! so there is no need to put the cluster into maintenance mode? like, turn off fencing, etc?

no need you as are shutting down the entire cluster.

Thank you! the move went smoothly with no problems.
