In an attempt to fix the issue I destroyed the monitor through the UI 
and recreated it.  Unfortunately it can still not be started.  A popup 
tells me that the monitor has been started, but the overview still shows 
"stopped" and there is no version number any more.

Then I stopped and started Ceph on the node (`pveceph stop; pveceph 
start`) which resulted in a degraded cluster (1 host down, 7 of 21 OSDs 
down). OSDs cannot be started through the UI either.

I feel extremely uncomfortable with this situation and would appreciate 
any hint as to how I should proceed with the problem.

Cheers, Frank
