Hi Dave,

Was this cluster cephadm adopted? That is moved from non-containerized to containerized cluster.

This would explain why you have these 32 OSDs bound to this unmanaged and actually non-existing (I just figured that out...) 'osd' service.

This service appears in 'ceph orch ls' output as soon as an OSD is converted to a container and restarted with a service_name set to osd.osd in its systemd unit.meta file. But this service doesn't actually exist, in the sens that you cannot remove it (hence the ceph orch rm issue we discussed here a couple of weeks back). You could use this service but I would avoid doing so as it doesn't really exist (here may be a bug) and will disappear as soon as no more OSDs reference it.

By applying this spec, you've asked the orchestrator to create OSDs out of any available disks it will find on host ceph01 **only**.
The orchestrator will not try to create any OSDs on any other hosts after you limit the scope of the service to this particular host (host_pattern actually). 

Note that this reduced scope doesn't prevent the orchestrator from restarting all OSDs would you run a 'ceph orch restart osd.osd'.

You could enumerate all hosts one by one or use a pattern like 'ceph0[1-2]'

You may also use regex patterns depending on the version of Ceph that you're using. Check [1].
Regex patterns should be available in next minor Quincy release 17.2.8.

I think Eugen got you on track. :-)
