+Modify the service spec for a service by getting the
+existing spec, adding ``unmanaged: true``, and applying the modified spec.
+
+Then manually deploy the daemon using the following:
.. prompt:: bash #
ceph orch daemon add mgr --placement=my_host
+.. note::
+
+ Removing ``unmanaged: true`` from the service spec will
+ enable the reconciliation loop for this service and will
+ potentially lead to the removal of the daemon, depending
+ on the placement spec.
