= Decommissioning the {rhos_prev_long} standalone Ceph NFS service

[role="_abstract"]
If your deployment uses CephFS through NFS, you must decommission the {rhos_prev_long}({OpenStackShort}) standalone NFS service. Since future software upgrades do not support the previous NFS service, ensure that the decommissioning period is short.

.Prerequisites

* You identified the new export locations for your existing shares by querying the Shared File Systems API.
* You unmounted and remounted the shared file systems on each client to stop using the previous NFS server.
* If you are consuming the {rhos_component_storage_file} shares with the {rhos_component_storage_file} CSI plugin for {rhocp_long}, you migrated the shares by scaling down the application pods and scaling them back up.

[NOTE]
Clients that are creating new workloads cannot use share exports through the previous NFS service. The {rhos_component_storage_file} no longer communicates with the previous NFS service, and cannot apply or alter export rules on the previous NFS service.

.Procedure

. Remove the `cephfs_ganesha_server_ip` option from the `manila-share` service configuration:
+
[NOTE]
This restarts the `manila-share` process and removes the export locations that applied to the previous NFS service from all the shares.

$ oc patch openstackcontrolplane openstack --type=merge --patch-file=~/<manila.patch>

* Replace `<manila.patch>` with the name of your patch file.

. Clean up the standalone `ceph-nfs` service from the {OpenStackShort} control plane nodes by disabling and deleting the Pacemaker resources associated with the service:
+
[IMPORTANT]
You can defer this step until after {rhos_acro} {rhos_curr_ver} is operational. During this time, you cannot decommission the Controller nodes.
