Procedure for replacing drives on OSD by larger ones

Hi, we've been using PetaSAN for 3 years and have added drives to our servers over time, filling all available bays on all OSD nodes. Now we're running out of space and have purchased larger capacity SSDs to replace the smaller ones.
We're looking to gradually replace the smaller drives with the larger ones, however, the PetaSAN admin guide does not cover this process. We have experience with plain CEPH and are unsure if PetaSAN has any additional requirements for this task. Any help would be appreciated.

You can use Ceph cli commands to remove and add OSD.

Easier to stop the running OSD using systemctl stop ceph-osd@xx then from PetaSAN UI you can remove it then add new one.
