Hi, that's how I did it for my osd's 25 to 30 (you can add as much as osd numbers you like as long you have free space). First you can reweight the osd's to 0 to move their copies to other osd's for i in {25..30}; do ceph osd crush reweight osd.$i done and have to wait until it's done (when cluster health is ok again). Then you can remove the osd's from the cluster: for i in {25..30}; do ceph osd out osd.$i && stop ceph-osd id=$i && ceph osd crush remove osd.$i && ceph auth del osd.$i && ceph osd rm osd.$i; done Then you can remove the disks from the system: echo 1 > /sys/block/sd<disk>/device/delete where sd<disk> is the scsi-device name for the osd's (you can find from /proc/partitions). Then you can remove the disk physically (if hotplug is available). After inserting new disks create the new osd's with ceph-deploy.
