We are standing up a small Nautilus cluster using VMs on an old storage node, 
and will go through the upgrade on this test environment, just to make sure.

We did have a nasty experience with our last upgrade from Luminous to Nautilus. 
We had installed 2 Mimic MDS daemons, with the intention of testing CephFS, but 
never got further.  When we did the Luminous to Nautilus upgrade, the Monitors 
all got corrupted, and had to be rebuilt from the OSDs.  Everything looked 
fine, until the last monitor was upgraded, then they all died.

The root cause turned out to be the presence of the Mimic MDS daemons, even 
though they weren't ever used (beyond having them running).  After we removed 
the Mimic MDS servers, the upgrade proceeded normally.  

To stop that happening again, we pinned the Ceph repo to a local server, but 
didn't bank on having the OS upgraded on us, and getting a newer Ceph version 
that way.
