Your output: "1 up:standby" shows that you have 1 standby MDS.  On my
system with 3 MDS, running Jewel, the output is:

fsmap e12: 1/1/1 up {1:0=ede-c1-mds01=up:active}, 2 up:standby

You can prove this by shutting down your systemB and seeing that you
can still access your Ceph file system. By default, if you create
multiple MDS, you get 1 active MDS and the rest are standby.
