   > IMHO, this looks a little confusing. Because let's say I am the customer 
who is running ozone, and as I know we donot support rolling upgrade and I need 
this feature, as I want to convert my non-HA (ratis enabled cluster) to HA 
enabled cluster. Generally I will update the config on all the nodes to add 2 
more node details, and restart all 3 nodes. (Because in general, Ozone will 
have the same config on all nodes) (So, from a code point of view it is an 
upgrade/fresh install should not matter if we can support this).
   
   I don't completely agree with this. You are saying we should be able to skip 
the bootstrap step if all the OM's are started with new config. But what would 
happen if the old OM (let's say om1) did not come up during this restart. The 
new OMs (om2 and om3) started up and formed a ring and started servicing 
requests. This will lead to data loss and an inconsistent system.
   
   > I think from a code perspective we can support this. (We can introduce 
another flag like ozone.om.bootstrap.the startup, if you want to separate out 
normal start where all OM"s started together with later OM's adding to ring) if 
this flag is enabled, we start each OM with peers empty, and they will learn 
about other OM's in-ring with setConf call/addOM. (We cannot remove the old way 
start up). On a side note, this is the approach followed in SCM HA.
   
   This approach would also require that one OM be set as primary (similar to 
the primordial SCM node). Subsequently, it would mean we need to redo the way 
OM HA works currently. I am not opposed to this approach but it would be a big 
change and I think not worth the effort (seeing how we have to keep it 
compatible too).
