When `openstack overcloud deploy` is re-run in order to update

that process is only run if `cephadm list` returns an empty

Overriding Server Configuration after deployment
------------------------------------------------
To make a Ceph *server* configuration change, after the cluster has
been deployed, use the `ceph config command`_. Updating the parameters
in `CephConfigOverrides` and running a stack update will not change
the running Ceph server. The parameters in `CephConfigOverrides`
are only applied to a new Ceph server at bootstrap. A
'/etc/ceph/ceph.conf' file is not distributed to all Ceph servers and
instead `Ceph's centralized configuration management`_ is used.
A single '/etc/ceph/ceph.conf' file may be found on the bootstrap node.
The directives under `CephConfigOverrides` are used to create a config
file, e.g. ceph_bootstrap.conf, which is passed to `cephadm bootstrap`
with `--config ceph_bootstrap.conf` so that those directives are
applied to the new cluster at bootstrap. The option `--output-config
/etc/ceph/ceph.conf` is also passed to the `cephadm bootstrap` command
and that's what creates the `ceph.conf` on the bootstrap node. The
name of the file is `ceph.conf` because the `CephClusterName`
parameter defaults to "ceph". If `CephClusterName` was set to "foo",
then the file would be called `/etc/ceph/foo.conf`.
Overriding Client Configuration after deployment
------------------------------------------------
To make a Ceph *client* configuration change, update the parameters in
`CephConfigOverrides` and run a stack update. This will not change the
configuration for the Ceph servers (as described in the section
above); only for the Ceph clients. Examples of Ceph clients include
Nova compute containers, Cinder volume containers, Glance image
containers, etc.
The `CephConfigOverrides` directive updates all Ceph client
configuration files on the overcloud in the `CephConfigPath` (which
defaults to /var/lib/tripleo-config/ceph). The `CephConfigPath` is
mounted on the client containers as `/etc/ceph`. The name of the
configuration file is `ceph.conf` because the `CephClusterName`
parameter defaults to "ceph". If `CephClusterName` was set to "foo",
then the file would be called `/etc/ceph/foo.conf`.
