Hey Jeremi,

I'm not sure how ceph-ansible will handle a hybrid system. You'll need to
make sure that you have the same info in the ceph-ansible "fetch" directory
or it will create a separate cluster.

 I'm not sure if you can somehow force this without causing some issues.
I'm also not sure what other issues might arise.

Perhaps a way forward would be to start the osds by hand?

Something like:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ceph

Get a copy of the /etc/ceph/ceph.conf and
/var/lib/ceph/bootstrap-osd/ceph.keyring  from another node.

sudo ceph-volume lvm zap /dev/sd?
sudo ceph-volume lvm create --data /dev/sd?
