#. Make sure that ``mon.a`` is running.

+What does it mean when a Monitor's state is ``probing``?
If ``ceph health detail`` shows that a Monitor's state is
``probing``, then the Monitor is still looking for the other Monitors. Every
Monitor remains in this state for some time when it is started. When a

+What does it mean when a Monitor's state is ``electing``?
If ``ceph health detail`` shows that a Monitor's state is ``electing``, the
monitor is in the middle of an election. Elections typically complete
quickly, but sometimes the monitors can get stuck in what is known as an
you put the problematic Monitor into a ``down`` state while you investigate.
This is possible only if there are enough surviving Monitors to form quorum.

+What does it mean when a Monitor's state is ``synchronizing``?
If ``ceph health detail`` shows that the Monitor is ``synchronizing``, the
monitor is catching up with the rest of the cluster so that it can join the
quorum. The amount of time that it takes for the Monitor to synchronize with

+What does it mean when a Monitor's state is ``leader`` or ``peon``?
During normal Ceph operations when the cluster is in the ``HEALTH_OK`` state,
one monitor in the Ceph cluster is in the ``leader`` state and the rest of
the monitors are in the ``peon`` state. The state of a given monitor can be
